Serela is my preferred lynch for the day because his convictions have been hypocritical and ultimately just appear fake, starting
here with his his vote on Dan. While Serela accused Dan of not scumhunting, Dan had at least been scanning through the thread and posting unique points on me and Affinity, as seen
here and
here. Given that Serela did not have any sort of original contributions to his name, he himself would have easily been votable for the exact same reasons he voted Dan, which leads me to believe he just went after Dan for being a convenient target at the time, based on the attention Shadoweh, PX and I had drawn towards Dan. Even if Dan's beliefs were never strong, he was at least analyzing the thread. Furthermore, if Serela's belief in scum!Dan really was so strong, I question his choice to
alleviate all pressure on Zak when Zak replaced in, since alignments are not transient in the face of replacements. Had he paired the unvote with a strong case elsewhere, it would have been more acceptable, but the empty unvote just resembles an attempt to avoid accountability if Zak's content ended up difficult for Serela to attack, since Zak is generally regarded as more experienced than Dan. He was only willing to re-vote Zak in a context where it resembled
total desperacy to get a vote out, and since he didn't attempt to further his Zak case by commenting on Zak's new content, it comes off more like Serela was just finally voting so that people wouldn't get on his case about not voting.
His
switch to Dormio is odd because he states he never wanted to vote Zak in the first place. How would voting Zak have been a problem, when Serela had been spending the day attacking Zak's player slot? Like I said, alignments don't switch with replacements. The claims that he would beat the Dormio case into everyone's heads today have so far been false, for despite promising reasons, the most he was able to produce was just a
giant waffle, which makes me skeptical of whether or not he really did have the conviction on Dormio that he initially appeared to have. It looks like he voted Dormio first to save himself, then planned to think up reasons later, which isn't a townie way of nabbing scum. I don't think his thought processes were identifiable like Affinity claimed, since "this guy is totally scum, will explain tomorrow" -> "I don't have a reason for voting this guy" -> "oh well, I'm going to keep voting him because Not Me Over Me" doesn't seem like how a townie would think to me.
