I'm here again. Considering we're all sitting here waiting for Youmu's flip, I guess I should take the time to explore other possibilities.
Reimu's actions are really silly. From the early Day 1 gambit to her
defensiveness to her
overcautiousness in voting to
stating the obvious about the VT claim looks a lot like she's only trying to
look like she has town's best interests in mind without really knowing what town's best interests are. The "random lynching is bad" and the "it's ok if we lynch VT" insistences are especially stupid, because nobody implied that we were going to random lynch or that we were not going to lynch because of the VT claim, and thus make Reimu look helpful while not being helpful, i.e. active lurking, which is pretty scummy. I personally think newbtown is just as prone to active lurking as newbscum is, so I'm still a little ambivalent, but Reimu should still go under more scrutiny.
Also, the tone 'If for some reason you're town' makes it sound like you highly doubt Youmu being town in the first place.
Seiga already responded to this but I have to say "uh,
duh". If anything this implies that you're not convinced Youmu is scum and are only halfheartedly voting her after being pressured to.
As for why I voted, when nothing developed a more solid reason, it's simply because no more solid reason has been made. The best reason to vote for anyone was still Youmu jumping on Sanae. As it is nearing the end of the period, and majority was almost reached, I decided to vote with who I currently felt was the most scummy. There is no rule that I cannot change my vote later if someone changes my mind, however, since between those two points, I have not got a better reason to vote anyone, I decided it was time to place my vote.
This specifically looks a lot more scum-motivated than town-motivated. "I'll vote this person because there's nobody better to vote" is implied more than "I think this person needs to be lynched for being scum".
Like I said, I'm fairly ambivalent because these sort of mistakes are common for newbies, but I'm not sure if I want to give Reimu a pass just for newbie mistake. Since I want to see Youmu lynched more than anything, I'll just hold off until later (i.e. after Youmu's lynch).
Thinking about Nue at the moment. Considering her blatant relations with Youmu (voting Yoshika and then voting Mamizou), does scum Youmu imply scum Nue, or does it imply that Nue cannot possibly be scum with Youmu? I should probably look at Nue alone without thinking about her relation to Youmu, so give me a moment to think about it.
