Well, I guess you're right. And looking at ash's claim closer, it's weird as a scum move. I mean, claiming VT will instantly cast suspicion on you, and ashersky knows that. So... if he's town, he's hiding something. If he's scum, he's lying. Because of the possibility that ash has some sort of secret plan going, I would like to not lynch him today. So where are other candidates? Eevee is very strongly defending ash, which is interesting. I think it means that they are not scum together. And as already pointed out, jotheonah is also likely not scumpartner with ash. So... we lynch one of those, if they are scum, this indicates ash being town?
Eevee comes off townier in this than jotheonah, so vote: jotheonah.
This doesn't make sense to me. Why lynch someone else to find out ash's alignment?
This is also similar to what joth was doing, which is setting up "either/or" pairs, which creates the feeling that other players are off the table, whether or not that is your intention.
xeiron has been very quiet, also Archetype.
Good point about faust's post, it was actually even weirder than I though.. it's extremely weird to lynch someone else to get info on one player (what info, how reliable?), especially as that person has effectively claimed VT.
faust's logic to me seems to be "ash is a puzzle.. eevee and joth have taken strong stances on him.. we should maybe lynch one or the other to get a read on ash.. eevee comes off townier.. vote: joth". he doesn't even mention the possibility of looking at lynch candidates outside our top three contributors!
i've liked efhw's recent contributions, enough to remove her from my lynch pool in fact.
right now i'm looking at xeiron, walrus, voltaire and archetype. faust is sort of sitting on the fence.
ps: walrus, your vocabulary is awesome. i love reading your posts.
