The only thing that reeks here is you jumping on a tunneling case and calling it scummy without actually saying why. 'Tunneling', 'garbage', 'shallow', those are the only things you've used to describe it.
Tunneling? Yes, I've been intent on getting July lynched since the beginning. No denying that.
Garbage? How about you actually point out what is wrong with my reasons instead of just throwing out the whole case with one word. All you're doing is setting up a negative opinion of me before you point out what is wrong, let alone scummy.
Shallow? You wound me. You're assuming that just because I haven't been completely open with my reasons and going in-depth behind everything, I have nothing worth taking seriously.
There's not much else I can push on July without going in circles. It would have been nice to see her post more than 1 post every 3 days so it wouldn't have been dragged out so long (seriously, our push and counterpush against each other consists of 3 posts each. Is that really so much to be considered too much? >_>). Anyway, the deadline is fast approaching.
July is the one who first looking scummy to me, and I haven't seen any reason to see her as town and withdraw my initial read of her. I keep drawing attention back to her because for a player who's been flying under the radar the whole game, it would be easy for the pressure against her to drop and be forgotten the moment people wandered elsewhere. Now if someone had brought a solid case against another player, I would have let July slide for a while to see how far the new case would go. I wasn't not so focused on her that I would ignore any new cases brought to the table.
The only one that came though was Hilt's case by AM. However, he only brought up Indy as a reason for lynching Hilt, to which I stated I wasn't going to vote with. Without any evidence of an Indy, it would just be a wild goose chase, IMO. J & I then called it out as a mafia-slip, putting pressure on him and getting his reaction. He also stated in his post that he was going to bring up evidence against Hilt, but didn't actually mention in that post what was it was about Hilt that looked scummy, let alone Indy. He just pushed the word Indy. And only Indy. He ended saying he was going to get the evidence, then he follows with a post saying he can't really go in-depth. Had he pushed the Indy less and actually brought up evidence showing how Hilt was scummy, I wouldn't have pushed attention back to July and would have seen how far the Hilt case would have gone.
It looked like a half-baked attempt to change the town's attention with nothing strong behind it other than Indy. I would further say that given how he agreed to my case but gave no word or vote to support it, he may have been a scummate of July trying to turn attention off her case without attacking it. But until I actually see a JulyScum flip, it's just speculation on my part and nothing solid.
I didn't see the reason for his strong reaction against J & I for a 'standard mafia viewpoint'. If his case had more than backing than being a possible Indy, I don't see how he couldn't have just brushed it off and pushed the scummy points as proof. I didn't push him for the slip, because it was just that. A possible mafia-slip. I know what a tough cookie AM is. I'd need more than a possible mafia slip to put pressure on him, let alone a lynch.
Players & Reads
J - while being too stubborn for his own good and not supporting a July lynch, has been leaning town. We've been hitting the same wavelength on other things, it's hard for me not to read him this way, tbh.
Dad - Was initially thinking town for him for being the firs to attack how much I focused on July. But leaning scum the way he keeps posting how my posts are garbage without actually saying why. And nothing he said states what is wrong with my reasons on July. He says they are shallow and standard, like it's too simple to be consider and should be ignored. He's also paying waaaaay too much attention into others opinion of AM's possible slip. He says it wasn't a slip, argues against J and me for say it was (and J has repeatedly said why to Dad's dissatisfaction), and doesn't argue with players who say it wasn't a mafia slip when asked. He's forcing public opinion this way into saying it wasn't a slip. Is AM's "possible slip" such a big concern to warrant this much pressure on everyone else???
AM - I stated my opinions above.
July - Still my first and strongest scum read. But nobody wants to support, aside from 1 guy who went after an Indy instead.
Acro - He posted at the beginning of D2, but when I posted my wall, dropped off the map. He posted no opinion toward July's case, but eagerly jumped on the Indy Hilt for what would be mostly speculation discussion and his other major post was defending against to July's attack. I've see nothing giving me a townie read on Acro and I like J's #967. Do support.
Vote: Acro
Sang - Why has Sang been listed as a lynch candidiate toDay? No seriously, I've been trying to find a post that stating why compared to me, Acro & July and haven't found it.
Everyone else - Hanging in the background or barely here at all. Stated their opinions on matters, but no real push on anyone that stands out. Largely null atm.
Also I need to talk to Soup about it but I think I found a scumslip from July in her most recent post. Its actually pretty glaring when you know you're looking for it but I need to see what Soup thinks. Even though I've liked with most of July's counter push against Tcat there are some pretty strange inconsistencies that I keep finding that suggest otherwise.
Starting to consider the possibility that tcat vs july may be scum vs scum. With the amount of actual content being argued back and forth, there isn't enough meat behind it to sustain the discussion for this long. It'll be interesting to see where this develops too.
I do not want to hear you talk about me tunneling anymore. Seriously, for all the hot air you've spouted on me without backing it up, the moment you see a chance of July being scum, your first thought is they both might be scum??? That is tunneling in the worst form.
