Strike has never voted for you in this game. He FOS'ed you.
After Vio and jonty, I asked PCM where he was because he appeared to be inactive to me. A little while later, saf decided to vote Tails for the same thing, so I went along with it, because inactivity is all the same, so it didn't matter to me which inactive was pressured. How is this scummy? It isn't.
It isn't exactly townish, either. Voting inactives is a last resort, in lieu of real leads. Scum may employ this technique almost with impunity, because it doesn't really harm anyone and it appears (to some people) that they're contributing.
I didn't view Victor as being scummy. So, when Tails tries to say something about Victor for having his usual behavior and pointing out the obvious (which isn't a bad thing), I called Tails out and said that if he wanted to call Vic out, he might as well call himself out because he hadn't done anything. I don't think anything I did there was scummy.
You're stuck on repeat.

My inactivity was irrelevant. It was D1 joke phase, I didn't miss anything. I joined the game after I accumulated some votes, made a contribution, which included an observation of scummy behavior and a partial meta. Isn't that the supposed goal of voting inactives? Are you suggesting that I shouldn't have posted, thereby negating your purpose for an inactive vote? You can't have it both ways here.
I do believe that we should have a lynch today. It is most likely a day 1 lynch will result in a townie being taken down (that's just odds). However, the town has to make lynches, otherwise there is zero chance of scum being killed. This is my reasoning to say that anyone who doesn't want a lynch is scummy. If I were scum, I would love to have not lynch.
Textbook answer. Rationalization. Also, I can't help but notice you have a problem with the proposed no lynch. You would think, logically, that you would then direct your vote to the player who proposed it, or someone who supported it, and yet you've got your vote on me, who hasn't said anything regarding it.
I think that Tails jumped back at me in an OMGUS type of way. I don't condone that, but it wasn't inherently scummy. However, when strike, went along with and even voted me for nothing more that voting inactives and calling Tails out, that seems a little strange. It seems to me like strike is trying to get the ball rolling on lynching me. In addition, strike seemed to side with saf previously about the fact that it is dangerous to lynch people in a game this small. He didn't right out say that he agreed with saf, but almost. And I have seen him post in numerous other games that a day 1 lynch is almost always necessary unless you get many claims (3 or so). This behavior seems quite out of character for strike.
You are now redirecting.
So let's add this to my previous list:
- Skimming
- Rationalization
- Redirecting whilst under fire
- You still have a vote on me, even when your reasons have been debunked
- Inconsistent behavior
Lookit, chap, I realize the chances of catching scum on the first day is small, but you keep dropping all these tells. And maybe you aren't scum; who knows? But all these inconsistencies keep adding up, and you seem the likeliest target today, imo. Call it omgus, if you so desire, but that's a thin veil, and only one point amongst all the other tells.
