Help, I'm alive... my heart keeps beating like a hammer.
So I went to reread day2 since there were some questions addressed to me that I had to skip over due to time constraints. Looking back on d2, Cello put me in a really tight situation, and I don't think I could have done anything to convince him I'm not scum.
Chawhee, since you still seem to think I'm scum, let me try my best to prove my innocence. I also believe that your expectations of my reactions have soundly been unreasonable. Let me show you. Although, at this point, I DO believe you're tunneling me, and usually there's nothing you can do once you're in the tunnel of Chawhee Doom.
But let's have a go, shall we?
@Meimu: I have a book, and I opened it up a day earlier than you did. Also, why would you want me to waste my investigation on you if you are a townie? There's been essentially zero conversation so far, and you feel that's the best choice for my power?
Yes. I have nothing to hide. You think I'm scum. Investigate me, so we can work together. Seems reasonable to me.
She started the train against Meta-Kirby.
Yes. I thought he was scum. So did you.
She agreed with his AtE scum read on Meta-Kirby.
That's because he was using AtE. And why wouldn't McFox be scum because he's the one who /brought up the AtE/ case.
She started the Meta-Kirby wagon, then let you take the reigns so you would take the blame, and as you pointed out, she was backing off. Don't you think it's odd that she couldn't see he was innocent, but somehow managed her "brilliant" squeeze out of my trap?
Totally wrong. I wasn't backing off, as I said yesterDay. I was waiting for MK's response when McFox started attacking him. Even as McFox was attacking him, I was also agreeing with what he was saying. I certainly didn't slide off into the background.
On that note, that was ALL that she cared about; saving both her and Kevin.
Again, wrong. I didn't care about only saving me and Kevin. I was like "Well, he's saying he investigated one of us, and I'm one of them. but it's not me, and Kevin doesn't seem unnerved."
I did say "ask me questions. explain my scumminess."
NO ONE did EITHER. (Except maybe you, MUCH later, after I figured it out you hadn't investigated us.)
Mayling, little Townie++, why in the world didn't she get killed?
Why didn't Cello, confirmed fortune teller++++ get killed? Scum have secret agenda.
Instead, what happened? The first thing out of Mayling's mouth was an attempt to tear apart what I was doing. Why did she do that? Why did Kevin back her up? Why sow the seed of doubt that I might not be the FT?
AGAIN. WRONG. WRONG. WRONG!
Yes, I attempted to "tear down" what you were doing, because I knew it wasn't right on my behalf. And if I know something isn't right, why wouldn't I try to stop it, before a mislynch happens? Why continue to spread FUD ? Especially from a confirmed townie, when it's especially dangerous.
Why ask for a case of scumminess against her rather than Kevin? What made her think that was the best course of action, rather than let Kevin implicate himself in what amounted to a duel with her, especially given his sudden change of heart, being willing to lynch her, without explanation? Why didn't she ask for one?
I asked for a case of scumminess against me, so I could prove it was wrong. Why would I launch an attack against Kevin, when I can hopefully clear myself? After all, i was the one being attacked... yet all people can say is "she's scummy, she's scummy" but give NO reasoning. So yes, isn't it reasonable at that point, I was like "please give me something to defend against?"
If I launched an attack against Kevin, would it not have looked like I was trying to push suspicion off myself and onto Kevin? It wasn't "prove that someone else was scum." It was "prove this specific person is scum." And I've said before, it's easy to twist words and make anyone look like scum. So yes, I was much more interested in proving that *I* wasn't scum, because as town that's what my job is.
Didn't I asked why he wanted to lynch me, when I was like "please make a case against me, instead of just saying I'm scum?" I said that a lot during beginning of day 2.
Kevin and Mayling BOTH presented a united front. One that quickly dissolved the INSTANT there was no threat of a sure investigate against them.
United front? @_@ He brushed you off as nonsense, and I did my best to figure out what was going on. I did figure it out in the end.
Still, you didn't answer my question. Especially about the timing.
What question? What timing?
Cello, I don't think there was any "right course" of action I could have chose when you decided to play your game. I think you already decided that I was scum.
What did you expect me to do? Crumble and say I'm scum? Make a case against KevinM, that may or may not be legit since I only did it because YOU pressured me to? like I said, if I did that it could be construed as just making an attack to get heat off my back. So I asked for people to tell me why I'm scummy so I could defend myself... it never happened. So instead, I concluded what was really going on. Yet, to you, even that still makes me scummy. Because I stopped FUD.
What I'm concluding is that there was no possible thing I could have done to make me seem not scummy in this situation, because you pretty much already decided I was scum.
I think McFox asked me a question, but I couldn't find it. Could you quote it, please, McFox?
