Back and catching up. Seems like this is pretty much a lost cause though. Hopefully I rez as town and we make it through the night. At least if I make it through the night and we're still playing I'll have the vindication of being able to say I told you so, and we'll have two mech clears. So that's something to hope for.

I really don't want to lose this game because I got mislynched in large part by not having enough time to be active and play like I normally do. So far Keirador is really the only vote against me that I'm kind of ok with--it's wrong, but I can see where it's coming from. Sjg is very much overblowing my voting record, while shadow is being borderline hypocritical with part of her case. My money is on SJG to be the scum out of there, with his most likely partner being ZZ to my mind (shadow is also a decent possibility).
It's almost funny how OMGUSy your read of me is. I mean, seriously, you've played with me as scum quite a few times. Do I actually do it through being 'borderline hypocritical'? I don't think I'm quite that sloppy as scum. That seems more like a kind of vaguely negative sounding accusation you've been applying to people you want to kill.
I've
explained very clearly why there's nothing hypocritical about my case. I find it hard to take this accusation seriously, nanook. I don't even think
you seriously think this is scummy, because maybe, you know, you said so right here:

Poor choice of words. Bullshit as in something I'm frustrated with and is wrong, not bullshit as in a blatant lie. I should have clarified that, that's on me.
Um, yeah, I'm aware how OMGUSy my read of you is, that's why I'm not trying to lynch you and I'm sticking to my SJG guns! I think there's a chance that you're scum, yes--but I also think i'm biased and that OMGUS is probably playing into that at least a bit, which again, is why I'm not voting for you or trying to make a solid case against you. I thought I've been pretty clear about that.

I'm not defending it. I'm saying if you think I'm scum for piggybacking, make that case, not that I was trying to disguise it as something besides piggybacking.
I'm still catching up, but WOW I don't like this. As the subject of your vote, at no point did I feel like you were explicitly piggybacking shadow's reasoning. It VERY MUCH felt like you were manufacturing new, additional reasons to vote me and actively avoiding saying "I'm voting Keirador because of shadow's case." Like, the post laying out your justifications had stuff about me misrepresenting you, not just "what shadow says."
viewtopic.php?f=306&t=56216&p=915065#p915065Relevant part pulled and emphasis added is mine:
Why not join me on ZZ? He's been more egregious than Keirador, in my opinion, and I don't see why scumK is more likely than scumZZ in the scenario you lay out here (which do have to admit is fairly compelling). Keirador is certainly on my radar, but until I can read his D1 more closely tomorrow (real time), I think I'll stick with my ZZ vote for the time being. K is definitely on my radar though, and if I agree with your case after reading through him again I'll strongly consider shifting my vote over.
And the actual vote:
viewtopic.php?f=306&t=56216&p=915201#p915201Again, relevant bit pulled out with emphasis added mine:
And...that's the extent of it. It's not a bad number of posts, but the quality feels...kind of lacking. A lot of it feels like treading water. Perhaps I'm reading too much into this, but I can definitely see where Shadow is coming from when she talks about Keirador being a sort of active lurker. For example, the Nick vote...yes it didn't go anywhere...but if you're so sure it isn't SW, why not cast your net elsewhere? I engaged him about it, I think Shadow did too, but he never pursued another angle and then jumped back onto SW for a possible scumslip that could only reasonably be thought to be such if you were the only experienced (or relatively experienced, in mine and SW's cases) player that didn't grasp that the lynchee was very likely to be NKed.
I thought within the context of the rest of my posts, it was pretty clear that I was aping shadow's case.
And yeah, I guess I should've made it clear that my notes were a personal frustration rather than something I was scumreading you for. So that's my fault. I thought it was clear from context, but obviously I was wrong.

I can't help but feel like if I had more time available to me, that would solve a lot of the issues here. Which, I mean, I guess I get it to some extent, but it's still frustrating for me. I'd like to be able to play without having to dedicate 6 hours a day to scumhunting, and still be a contributing member of the town, but perhaps that's not realistic for me in a game this size. The annoying thing is, killing me here won't do much to change things--either I then get NKed, the scum NK someone else and they rez as scum and we lose, or they NK someone else they rez as town and their are the same suspicions about me going forward. Very annoying from a personal perspective.
Unless your lack of time is negatively impacting the actual posts you make, lack of time on your part isn't a problem for me. I'm voting you for the things you have said, not the things you haven't.
It is. Usually I have time to do deeper dives on people, and I'm in the thread more so I have a better feel for what is weird from people and what isn't. I'm doing my best to adjust my play to the time I have, but I'm not doing a particularly good job of it, and it's why I'm getting mislynched here.

I covered some of this above, but--I thought your defense to shadow rang true, which is why I dropped the vote. It doesn't necessarily mean you aren't scum...but it does negate the reasons I was voting you. So my vote for you was a bad one at that point, and I dropped it.
At least there's a little countermovement to my wagon--not enough to change my likely mislynch, but at least we as a town aren't being as stagnant today as we were yesterday. That's really about the best thing I can say about today, and even then, we still got it wrong.
. Can scratch that one off the bucket list.
