He's relatively new
I'm not asking you be certain that they're scum, but as town, you'd be confident that your push at least is genuine. If I make a genuine push, and I receive push back, my first thought isn't "well I must be wrong", it's "why are people against this". I don't have major issue with either vote, it's you pivoting without exploring the interactions you're getting that I take issue with.
That doesn't really answer my question. I was actually looking for some wider consideration from you - in that game, he was actively helped in scum chat, where he would run posts by his team to check it first etc. So if he's not doing that now, it could offer some insight into his team. Instead it looks to me like you're happy to sit on a gotcha and not really explore it any further.
You're asking me to extrapolate a full scum team from an observation that he's not playing with the vigour he should?
I'm not likely to be swayed by you being, to be frank about it, half-hearted in getting me to see what you see with them. For example, I will happily talk to you about why I think Sky should be the lynch.
No, I'm asking you to demonstrate some consideration towards that goal - even if it's just mere conjecture at this stage. I'll put it this way - I don't agree with the basis of your suspicion from Tommy, and I'm alarmed that you're so willing to settle towards this rather than actually extract what you can from the direction.
Ok, why should Sky be the lynch?
In that case here are my thoughts so far
So I touched on this earlier (and when I get chance later I can evidence this with quotes) - but a lot of Sky's play so far has been to shade slots, or discredit them, with very little actually looking to find or accept townies. I'm assuming we have about 2 lynches to work with here, so we need to get as much as we can out of any direction before settling on it. In the case of how she's handled you, I've seen no evidence of her considering actual previous games from you (instead she uses... herself as the basis for it, which is wild), no evidence of considering what sort of team is at play - instead, she's latched onto something that is fairly level 1 (that is, prone to false positives) in your handling on your suspects (which I do concede is shady, which is why I'm questioning you too). It adds up - would you like me to elaborate on any specific element on this?
The problem with this is that bussing actually is super effective given with a 7/3 split scum only need 2 mislynches. But I'll grant you - this is better, and what I've been looking for. What I'd like to see next is you to focus on the Tommy slot itself - I appreciate looking for possible scum mates out of hand, but this isn't exactly a smoking gun here.
Nah. I get what you're saying and it makes a lot of sense. Sky says that Blaine and I "got close" then I tried to distance. Outside of my saying that I do like the fact that Blaine has been willing to answer questions, I'm not sure that we "got close." I observed something he was doing while also acknowledging that I've been suspicious of him.
That's exactly the sort of "getting close" co-scum do. Town read each other, but not make it too obvious. Then distance when necessary.
