I don't really know. I missed / glazed over it the first time I encountered it, so your switch to moat seemed a lot more sudden then it apparently was. It would be easier to interpret if I knew AA's alignment, which is what I would like to discover now.

You're jumping around a lot all of the sudden now that people are moving onto AA, who has offered us very little. Take a step back and look at how you've been reacting to people mentioning AA. The moment I mentioned him and Moat, you jumped on me. The moment I pointed out his super awkward, self conscious post, you jumped on me and just called me scum. It makes me want to vote you but I'm trying to hold myself back here from going full on OMGUS. AA is the better lynch today.

I'm sorry, who has moved on to AA?

He is at -2. The votes on him are:

-dongsbot, from D1
-You
-Adahn, who was a revote

So what has changed, exactly? Who has moved on to AA? What hard AA push am I trying to redirect from him?

And didn't you JUST say that people were moving AWAY from AA and that's why I was suspicious? This is a direct contradiction.

Just so it's clear - yesterday was my first day on a new job and it was my turn to cook dinner for the house. Sometimes real life is a thing!

Right now my quick opinions are that Quid, Max, Moat* are scummiest and that I find the push on AA to be far more suspicious than AA himself.

No worries! I just think we'd get more info from an AA flip given Quid's erratic behavior.

I don't really see an Adahn turbo as being all that useful, except that those leading the charge will probably look pretty scummy.

You can probably count on AA's vote since he doesn't want to get lynched.

Dongs will be a hard sell because it means I'll be tree-stumped and he'll have to deal with me for the rest of the game.

Infin loves a good turbo and will probably be on board.

Max spent enough time talking about mechanics with me to realize that if I was scum there's no way I'd bring up the possibility of no-lynching. That's just insane.

Quid's flip-flopping on the issue and certainty of my being scum, plus leading the charge for a turbo despite striking me as a rational individual is puzzling.

However, I think he takes my reticence to label him as scum to be knowledge that he isn't, which is why he's so certain I'm scum.

What he probably doesn't know is that I'm a scientist IRL, so I will, as a person, never ever claim certainty about anything. Because that's stupid.

I kind of feel like you're putting way more thought into who might lynch you and why over who the scum might be. Is your strongest case out there right now that you think AA is scum because he defended himself when pressed?

I was beginning to suspect that AA and Quid were scumbros. However, I think I understand WHY Quid is certain that I'm scum, and that's causing me to think that he's town.

Li Dawny is jumping on a turbo and accusing anyone she perceives as focusing attention away from themselves as being scum.

She's doing this to everyone EXCEPT AA, which is kind of weird. Moat and I are targets and AA is a target, but Moat and I are scum for focusing on other people. AA isn't scum if he focuses on others.

That's odd.

I'm reading over his case on AA and it very much looks to me like a scum Quid trying to say whatever he can to get AA mislynched. I feel like a town Quid would at least be wavering on his opinion on AA as their discussion progresses but the fact that he's instead doubling down feels like a fabrication.

THEN votes quid with a speculation on his personality.

To respond to your points:

If you think he's being disingenuous than you are saying he is acting scummy. Saying "I can't conceive of a town motivation for doing this" is the same as a scum call. And that is what you are pushin

So yes, I do think you think Adahn is acting scummy, and I don't see why you are acting like you're not.


She doesn't address the latter portion of the question and tries to bring focus back to AA while simultaneously calling out Quid.

All in all she was voting and throwing shade all over the place keeping things confused. I initially thought it was so obvious that she just had to be town. Re reading it all it looks like she is playing both sides to the middle and avoiding direct fire on her.
