To clarify I'm not disputing you here, I'm just trying to get on the same page and explore all sides of things.
The "trap" which apparently snared me was a decoy for the reaction test which Jeff then caught Barry out with on Barry's lack of input or vote on a garbage case when announcing he wanted to push me. Would you agree with this?
Jeff isn't stupid - he knows that anyone jumping onto a garbage case looks bad and avoiding it looks better. The non-chalant nod was weird, but to paraphrase yourself Tweet, CONSPIRACY THEORY TIME. I think that the nod is a red herring, not suspicious enough to draw a lynch but enough to pressure and draw attention, allowing Barry & Jeff to distance from each other.
I get where you're coming from previously when you said Barry is playing his town meta thus far and I agreed up until Barry hasn't interacted with Jeff at all over the push. I personally think town Barry pushes back on Jeff there and joins the wagon forming around Jeff as opposed to completely ignoring him, throwing out a unpressured claim and disappearing.
Since Odo has brought up EV/Tweet theory, I remembered this post. I also did see that EV was pushing Tweet on a few things and straight up called some of his points hogwash, yet as Odo said, still felt comfortable keeping his vote on me. Almost like he didn't actually want a counter push, just the appearance of questioning his motives.
And really, out of all of EVs post, outside of the "trap" point, all his other points are either in my favour of the argument, or calling out tweet/barry.
You (EV) also just said I "oddly" spent time defending the NIGHT POSTING thing, when that's factually incorrect. You were there. Tweet was the one harping on about how it was scummy and throwing accusations and making assumptions. He brought it up over and over again after I gave him a perfectly logical explanation. To say I was the one to behave oddly there is just untrue, and you yourself were confused by Tweet's reactions at the time. So again, why is your conclusion that I am the one to go after still? DO you still believe I'm somehow trying to distance myself from Barry after pushing him most of the night until I simply had enough of Tweet's nonsense?
