Yeah doubt you were just assuming she was a guy and passing off as internet especially seeing how much trouble you've gone through not offend anyone in the past:

Well..I can tell you that the way Kary reacted to your call-out was more interesting than anything else, and I wanted to use it as a means of pursuit. (S)he had a very good reaction, and I was quite content with her responses.
This is basically the bulk of it, I wanted to pressure him/her into a situation where he/she would respond and I could get a tell of how he/she did. I can go further into detail with my perspective if you want.
I also really liked her motivation to pressure Ranmaru for voting Gheb, even though he's V/LA. I don't agree with the premise of the vote but it screamed to me that he/she is looking more into things, instead of just fluffling posts with unwarranted comments like in his/her newbie game.

More on Kary's side of voting Ranmaru. I don't see any problem with Ranmaru yet, but I like the action he/she too.
Kary, what do you think of Ranmaru currently?

EBWOP: he/she made*
I cannot grammar.
Kary, are you a boy or a girl?
Furthermore, it has been shown that Badwolf/Hipster/J know each other in real life and he (badwolf) has referred to her as 'her' various times. For you to act like you didn't know really looks to me like you planted it as a way of distancing. I have a large suspicion that you two are scumbuddies and that you wanted to make it look like you didn't know a thing about her by referring to her as 'him'. I know you're going to try and play this off as something small, but it really isn't based on your nature. There was one answer I was looking for to determine if this was the case or not. Had you simply answered that it was in the moment and that you weren't really considering it at the time, I would have completely left it alone. But your responses above indicate otherwise and that you intentionally referred to her that way. The reason you give is completely false and outside of your nature as shown by the above quotes. The fact that it took you so long to answer the questions doesn't suit you any better. The way you have been limiting your answers to my posts makes me feel as if you are playing cautious about what to say.
My reads/Who I want to lynch today:
I believe that scum is withing the group of Soup, Hipster, and Rake. Vinyl's play has been different than I have seen from him in past games, I will say that. But I don't think weak meta like that alone is enough to pursue him. I can see his asking everyone for reads as just him trying to be more involved in the game and trying to get to the bottom of things. I will say this though, Vinyl. Soup was completely right about that "blah blah" post you made. It showed that you have not actually been looking into the reasons that we have been presenting and just going off the surface of things. You can't fully read into someone's intentions if you're going to play like that.
Now then, back to the topic at hand. Soup, Hipster, Rake. I believe two of them to be scum in any combination. Right now I'm looking at a Soup/Hipster team, but Soup/Rake & Hipster/Rake is still very much possible. They are all suspicious to me. Soup is the most suspicious, followed by Rake. My thing with Hipster is mostly tied to Soup's interaction with her. My "random" votes earlier were me looking for Soup's partner. This is also why I proposed that lynch pool and asked for Soup to pick which direction we go. I'll go into detail about why I find each of these players suspicious now.
Soup
Soup you're actually pretty good at portraying yourself as townie. There are just these holes in your play that leave you vulnerable. I've been recognizing these tells since DK. You're not showing any real drive or direction. There is no real scum hunt behind your posts. You simply latched onto Bardull all day and refused to look at anyone else while doing so. You were not even trying to determine the alignment or intentions behind Bardull's play. You were just trying to lynch him to lynch him. This is not only extremely anti-town, but extremely scummy because it shows that you have no scum hunting intentions, merely lynch intentions.
Your reasoning for your suspicion is another thing that I find incriminating, as I talked about earlier. Because the reason made absolutely 0% sense, it shows that you were simply making up a reason for your vote. It shows that you were not truly looking at his play with reason, but that you were making up reason to
appear as if you were looking at his play. You claim that Vinyl lost priority
during RVS, but him answering a question that I posed at him does not signify that at all. Your reasoning was completely fake. I even asked you if you would have done the same thing and you said yes.
Your decision to push Rake has done you some justice I will say. It actually confuses me a bit because I was leaning on you/him team before I fell asleep last night. You still, however, are my strongest scum read.
Hipster
Hipster also lacks a scum hunting drive. She has done nothing but answer to people's posts. Look at how Vinyl and Badwolf are asking questions and trying to get to the bottom of things. Hipster doesn't show this at all. She has not attempted to gain a read on anyone. The only time she has really asked questions toward a player has been it directly concerns something about her. Other than that she has not pushed in any direction! Most of her play has consisted of answering Rake's "@everybody" questions. It's as if she using those as a clutch for posting substance.
Rake
Rake has posted some contradicting statements which I'll bring up in just a bit after this post. Most of his posts are just basically agreeing/disagreeing with what other people have said and then asking general questions to everyone that really have nothing to gain from them. His vote on me looked really opportunistic and I do not like how all the sudden he unvoted just because Bardull placed suspicion on him changing his reads. It shows inconsistency and that Rake is trying to appeal rather than push the directions he actually feels we need to go. His wishy-washy stance on Bardull vs Soup is also concerning to me. Everyone else have given some sort of direct stance on the two of them by now. I remember town Rake in the last newbie much more involved and pushy in his stances. I really get the feel of him trying to be appeasing here.

IC Notes:
Badwolf & Rake, I noticed you two taking Bardull claiming town as a role claim, but that is not the case. There is a difference between Roles & Alignments. One's alignment is either town, mafia, or third-party (independent). Everyone will always say that they are town. I mean that's just how you play the game. It's for the actual town to figure out who is lying. Bardull saying that he is town is not a role claim, he is just stating his "alignment" which is no different from anyone else in the game saying that they are on the town side. Now if he were to say that he were Vanilla/Vanilla town, that would be a role claim because he would be specifically stating what role/abilities he has (vanilla, which is just a standard townie with no abilities). For someone to claim doc/cop/vig/roleblocker/etc would also be role claims.
Badwolf, another thing I noticed was you calling me out on being doc. As Bardull had stated, this is generally an anti-town thing to do as you are giving mafia clues on who to night kill during the night. You generally want to keep the Power Roles such as doc or cop hidden from the mafia so that they do not night kill them. You get what I'm saying n_n?
I hope this clears some stuff up & Rake I hope your arm gets better soon n__n!
