First of all, great post Geo, we agree on a lot of points and you argue them a lot better than I do. Got a pretty big town read from that post, I acknowledge scum would want to appear helpful (and might even unvote me to gain cred) so not treating you as obvtown but definitely my least favorite lynch target for today either way.
2ndly, as I said, I think your reasons for voting me were perfectly reasonable. That's why I didn't OMGUS you, because nightkilling O would in reality have been a clever and plausible scum tactic. A scum team with me or Frisk in it could very well have done just that! I especially liked how you didn't find the actually townie things I have done scummy (unlike ashersky).
Now ashersky on the other hand, while doesn't join the wagon on me, definitely implies he is interested in participating in it. (Maybe he didn't jump on it yet because he realized GeoLib wasn't exactly convinced yet, and would have unvoted if I made it to L-1 this early.) And the reasons for his vote are just really fabricated and feel sort of forced. Now, sure, ashersky could be a mistaken townie, but tunneling me blindly like that just looks he really wanted my wagon to pick off, and scum tends to have those feelings towards townies that argue they are scum. Note, ashersky's mafia team might just have decided killing me at night is going to look too obvious, it's bit of a WIFOM but that's the first level which I and I'm sure others often fall back to trying to avoid overthinking simple things.
One more thing, I explicitly made sure not to claim VT (or any other role), so ashersky's "If we believe their claims" bit looks like a scumslip to me.. because all I claimed was to be town, and everyone is implying that at this point.. only scum is unsure what they are going to claim yet. Does this make sense?
