##Vote RaikariaMuch more comfortable doing this now.
What made me look in this direction in the first place is his initial posts on Zak, PX and Sky, which read like he was trying to make as many people as possible look bad. Zak "appealing to D1 Raikaria lynch meta" is ridiculous and makes Zak look bad over his tiny comment on the unvote regardless of anything else he was saying. PX's case had some things I genuinely agreed with (Rai's reaction to PX's question and Rai's vote on Rou) and Rai's reponse of taking it apart and harping on how bad it is got to the point where it seemed unreasonable. Then there's his pursue of Sky, even before Sky started digging a hole. Rai made a point of how Sky was buddying Dan SO MUCH when it's questionable why the quantity even matters or, more importantly, why half the playerlist is fine for citing Dan's meta or otherwise ignoring him and Sky isn't. This along with "LOOK GUYS, HIS VOTE IS BAD" really rang bells and still does. He just takes anything vaguely weak looking on Sky's part and crams it into his case all the way till deadline.
I think I kind of get what Rai meant about NNR now but it's a really convoluted way of saying "I agree a little bit". Why the assumption that there's a bigger picture you're not getting? Going "I don't see what's so bad here" but assuming I must know what I'm talking about is cheerleading when you'd have no reason to lynch NNR otherwise.
I'll also throw in something that's less strong as a standalone tell but works nicely here: assuming a bunch of stuff about possible Sky-Dan buddy connections while only properly giving an opinion on Sky. He never addresses Dan except for when it's needed in the Sky case and it's all "yeah this connection makes so much sense". What I think is telling here is that if as town he was so active trying to off Sky and proving a connection, he would have probably given Dan a scan too
somewhere. But he doesn't, because all he really seems to care about is the Sky push.
I took some things into consideration, mainly just how hard he was willing to push Sky, and I think it's just as in-character as scum as it is as town. At least for Rai. I always do this on a case-by-case basis anyway.
Rou's vote movement is questionable in hindsight. At first I was a little bothered by how he concurred NNR was scummy for pushing hard on a bad wagon [Dan's] when he was doing much of the same, so I looked over his ISO and he never actually mentions why Dan wasn't a main point of consideration for him anymore. Because the crowd was giving Dan a pass? Rou's conviction on Dan was clearly strong enough so that's just unnatural. Saying NNR was pushing a 'questionable' wagon has the same problem because Rou never says why the wagon suddenly looked questionable to him, especially when he was one of the people on it. He just... switches to NNR/Rai scumpicks so 'cleanly' it reads like he was just sheeping popular opinion.
And now the thing finally comes full circle. Previously, Sky attacked me for going for Dan. Now Dan is attacking bofh for going for Sky. The scumpair theory is looking more and more reasonable by the minute.
And despite having nothing to do with anything this line just rubs me the wrong way. He'd just stopped waffling on Sky an hour before and he was already doing this.
Giving awful reasoning for votes - 'let's vote bofh near deadline because he made one post with problems I'm making up on the spot'
And another one. Major misrep of Dan's arguments here.
Little side comment on bofh, since Dan was comparing him to NNR: I didn't think it was AS bad. "giving awful reasoning for votes" gives NNR a run for his money because Dan's
one vote wasn't bad on the surface (nor was it bad in general but that's IMO) but I don't know, I guess I feel more comfortable reading a guy off of one post when I know how he plays. I would have wanted to see NNR go first definitely.
I kind of have my eye out for Shadoweh because she ended up having no opinion on any wagon not Sky's, though I guess she was busy so it's minor. PX is guilty of the opposite - not bothering addressing the Sky wagon at all. I don't really know what to think here so hey PX why did you do this?
cut:
It's either a public cop role (which is kind of OP but it definitely isn't insane if it is?) or an announcer role (in which case it means nothing but someone thought Dan needs a clear). I don't care either way because I find Dan agreeable.
cut:
it's 'through one ear and out the other' Polly I hope your eyes are okay
