you're going to have to summarize for me.
i DO have doubts about the motivation behind his claim. between how he said he thought getting a read on me was a better idea than executing the gambit on rajam, and the way he actually acted at the time, something doesn't quite line up. i wish i could pinpoint exactly why. i think it's that the timings of how his stance on me changes doesn't align... he says his read on me switched to town at a certain point, but if he was actually thinking what he claims to be thinking, his read should have switched earlier. in any case, this is the strongest point against him imo, and even you said his actions could have protown intent. moreover, your reasoning that he couldn't have thought up the gambit in a moment of frustration is flawed. i thought i vouched for his self-meta when you asked for it, but looking back, i guess i didn't. i'm doing it now. i even said when i explained why i thought it was a gambit - kantrip takes a lot of crap, but he takes this game quite seriously, and is able to control his frustration enough that he wouldn't jeopardize his own side out of frustration.
you mentioned being overdefensive against gheb, and i don't really see it to the same degree you're suggesting. in general, kantrip's reads are pretty bad. they are based off mechanical things like that. any attempt to label a situation as TvS, regardless of how solid the reasoning behind it is, would be called an attempt to line up mislynches by someone like him (not quite so bad, but you get the idea).
i feel terrible lynching you after your replacement, but i'm not going to let that get in the way of what needs to be done. i really wish mod would have just let us lynch sokr and have you replace some other slot as i asked. sokr gave off stronger newbscum vibes than i've ever seen in my life. he was non-commital and careful, and even contradicted himself several times in his reads. then you come in and take that BP bait. if you actually are BP, i'm going to feel really bad, and i'll probably find some way to blame kantrip in post-game, but it would be unwise to simply ignore that point on the chance that you actually are BP. it's not conclusive, but it's positive confirmation. and i know you understand why "why would i do this as scum?" is not going to sway me, so i'm not sure why you're even trying to use it (@gorf too... why are you actually buying into this). you see someone fakeclaiming (yeah it was obvious... i would expect you to see it just as clearly as i did) and see that it's easy to paint scum motivations onto that fakeclaim, so you expose it. people aren't likely to label it as pushing a town mislynch because solid reasoning is easy to procure, and you get to be seen as a force in town that gets **** done. you replace into a scummy slot that hasn't done anything worthwhile, so you need some way to defend yourself. the scum motivation is obvious. i know i don't have to explain this to you.
laundry, what are your thoughts on rajam? he's been pretty central, yet i never see you mention him? if i were to lynch someone else over you, it'd be rajam, not kantrip.
