Man, Exakt just feels all over the place.

Also, as easy as it would be, I'm not sure I want to vote for the guy who scum claimed since the last few times I've seen someone do that they have turned out to be town.

I'm sure I'll get burned by it eventually, but I'd rather put merk on the back burner right now.

Scumclaiming is anti-town and should be punished.

It's dumb, but I think it tends to be something that townies do more often to screw around than scum do for bragging rights, and so I wouldn't vote him for that alone.

Here's the short answer: I'm in New York City, I walk down the street, people walk up, shake hands, stop me, they want an autograph, want to get photograph with me. Go to eat last night and Joyce and I are in the back corner of a little Italian restaurant? A man came up to us and says he'd like to buy my dinner, and I paid for my dinner and the waiter comes back and says the man insisted to pay for my dinner and here's your canceled receipt.

I don't know your alignment but you're certainly selling me as being on drugs, so that's something.

I'm not sure I agree with this - I feel like Merk's claim was a catalyst that brought us out of jokephase and fueled conversation, which is inherently town.

I am not going to vote for merk today. Merk's a good enough player when he's Town that he's at risk of an early scum NK. If he sets himself up as a target that's less likely to happen.

I already voted him because I thought his vote logic conflicts with the town wincon but his subsequent explanations seem like he's searching for a reason why it's legit to keep pushing a flavour case and that's also bad imo.

Should it? I do appreciate you subsequently dropping your pr though. As an aside I've always found it confusing people abbreviate both posting restriction and power role to the same thing.

I would say the merk thing is a null tell at best. He would do it as either alignment. It's not a good reason on its own to vote him, but it's not a good reason to clear him, either.

Deadline is tonight and I'm exhausted so I'm not going to be around much longer. I disagree with the case on Exakt, he's coming across as town to me. As it is, I think my vote's going to stick with merk unless anyone has a decent case to make between now and me crashing.

This is my objection to people voting merk -- the last few scumclaims I've seen have been townies. I don't know of a time that I've seen an actual scum scumclaim on D1.

Granted, merk is arrogant enough to do it and be smug about getting away with it, but I feel like there are better cases to make.

I used to think Lynch All Liars was a good strategy, but I've cooled on it considerably of late.

I'm not following your logic, here. Sets himself up as a target how? A lynch candidate?

I don't see the case on EXAKT, other than the PR (that has since been dropped) and pushing the case on merk.

I still want Jedit, for that weird back-and-forth with Kash, but we're three hours out from deadline so I don't know if he's feasible.

Well obviously not since he dropped it.

And pushing a case on merk for poor reasons is a good reason to vote. A town merk is someone scum want to eliminate right away, so going after him for shoddy reasoning is scummy
