huhwhat, I don't believe you have answered my question, but why is ShadyK town to you in your last collection of reads here without elaboration other than the 'softclaim'? Given that he was the major wagon yesterday other than Anthy, I'm not getting good vibes from the way you handwaved away the ShadyK wagon without looking into the (valid) reasons people had voted him for.
The reason I trusted the softclaim is because I had trouble believing newbscum would think to set up a breadcrumb at the start of the day when only under one vote. It would have been totally overreactionary and only served to draw attention when he turns up alive and not roleblocked on a later day.
Claims aside, you were the only player with any sort of "weighty" vote on ShadyK yesterday, and I disagree that ShadyK was switching between wagons with little-to-no explanation like you said he and Nameless were. I was under the impression that his switch back to Nameless from Serela in his
#459 was being justified by his response to Nameless' #452 in the same post. His dislike for Anthy was telegraphed throughout the game and his town read of Nameless was telegraphed by his prior unvote, so the Anthy switch doesn't seem especially contrived either.
As for your initial D1 vote on him, I... did not get the sense he was trying to hide behind stronger players from his rawr / Anthy / PX shifting! I question how playing "wait and see" would be particularly fitting for scum's agenda when the main targets of the day were all townies who scum had no information on. This was at a point in the day where taking a solid stance earlier on would actually be
less likely to get him nailed for it, due to town's preference of targeting later wagon jumpers while scumhunting. I'm not sure what benifit scum would have had from waiting out the rawr / Anthy / PX wagons at the time. IMO the context makes it a null tell for his alignment.
Overall, I didn't see much stock in the case on him - everything he was getting poked over was stuff I regarded as null. My opinion on the "Affinity is totally not my scumbuddy" post was already explained when the post was being pressed. I... should probably reconsider his alignment in light of the Serela situation, though. I haven't re-read since the start of the day, only got home from school recently.
