Beyond Awesome and Witherweaver: A scum narrative
...
So Day 1 I didn't see a reason to think Voltaire was scummy. I still don't; I don't know how everyone picked him out. I found BA to be behaving the scummiest throughout most of everything. I recall stating this a bit later once I realized that I was confusing players.
When I stated "my reads suck" I was confusing BA and Box. So my reads sucking was referring to Volt ending up scum and my scum read ending up town.
I was never reluctant to answer anything about targeting you. I never made any logical fallacy in defending myself, also. BA did, and I called him out on it. "I can't always be scum" is obviously not a real defense.
I agree that BA's townread on me was inexplicable, and questionable. It's why I considered him to be so scummy. Reminded me a TON of how DD behaved in Monster's U. What I said about Voltaire is just true.
I tried to push BA lynches multiple times, and no one jumped on. I began to suspect PPS because I was coming up with an idea that he faked the whole dice thing on Day 1 to play the victim, with knowledge about scum's roles. The big thing that was weird to me was how he kept talking about having his dice stolen, and then later on a thief comes and claims. So I think I was back and forth between PPS and e because of that dichotomy.
I'm not sure what you mean by the Xerxes kill being obvious. I didn't know he was town at all, and I believe at this point I had no idea what was going on with everyone that was "in" on the thing.
There is nothing scummy about my claim at all. I did things in the past that make sense given my claim (resist early claim, try to figure out if we could plan for what monsters were coming up).
Now things get really juicy. WW and BA are being pulled into the Council, under fake names. They decide to use that as an advantage and claim Masons. I will say here that this makes no sense. If the reward was to give us Masons, what was the rest of the Council all about? I don't think Jimmmmm would just add such an unneccessary thing to a reward that is otherwise pretty straightforward. Two, why wouldn't they claim their names? Doing so would maybe kill one of them, but then they know there's scum among Hydrad/Ichi, which seems a good bargain. Three, WW and BA, really? What are the odds for two players that are so scummy to be chosen as Masons?
The issue with me and BA in the QT I already addressed. Pulling two remaining scum players (what would happen if there were one or three?) into a QT under pseudonyms as a Town reward is just not reasonable.
I didn't think about using our names to out potential scum in Hydrad/Ichi. But not a very foolproof plan.. it doesn't prove they're scum just because one of us died. Also, even so, it would still be the word of me/BA against scum in Hydrad/Ichi.

This part amounts to I'm scummy because I'm scummy. And anyway, I wasn't. I agree that BA was acting scummy, but I was not and you were the only one that had cast suspicion on me before.
