I guess I should respond to this:
I think there is some more worth noting. Both ADK and Faust seem to do a pretty great job on Day 1 of hedging suspicions and throwing out a lot of "seems kinda towny," and "seems kinda scummy" vibes. Let's look at votes:
Where did I "hedge suspicions"? And what is wrong with giving reads? They are D1 reads, so you can't expect a solid case (look at our D1 to see where solid cases lead on D1...)
So, you not saying anything for certain and just observing and making noncommittal comments frees you up to put your vote wherever you want later. Okay, yes, the behavior makes sense for a town that is trying to figure stuff out, but it also makes sense as hedging.
He was never really vocal against anyone except Ichi. Against McMc he says "the VT claim on top of everything else," but he never really established what "everything else" is. He only ever said before that Shraeye comes off as slightly more towny in the Shraeye vs. McMc argument.
Yes, I was never really vocal against anyone except Ichi. Sorry, I don't usually build strong cases on D1. At least I thought I had something there with Ichi (turns out I was wrong).
This establishes a narrative of you setting up future mislynches. Ichi was on the wagon for McMc, in fact in a pretty definitive position, since he was putting McMc on and off L-1. So you can jump on McMc without making it blatently obvious, and then go back and say you were wrong about McMc, but your hammer still made sense, but hey look how scummy Ichi was!
Hammering here seems very safe. He established some doubt against McMc and then established the VT claim as a perfectly valid reason to hammer, even if he doesn't believe McMc is scum, which he never made a case for until McMc claimed VT.
It should be blatantly obvious that "everything else" here refers to shraeye's case. Otherwise, I'm not sure what you're saying here? Should I not have hammered? I did think mcmc was likely scum.
Yes, that was obvious that you meant that.
You see, the problem is that you said this as if you were behind Shraeye's case, and you bought into that case. You never expressed anything but skepticism before. So the only point you have against McMc is that he claimed vanilla town. But you throw in extra stuff, so it seems like you're trying to pad the reasons to your vote in case it comes into question---which you would know for certain that it will if you were scum, because you would have known McMc is town.
