faust, everything you're posting looks very scummy if you look at it with the math-is-likely-scum angle. But if you look at it with the math-is-town angle, you see the truth - I have no useful reads, I have no idea what's going on, and I'm fairly easily swayed by logical arguments (or conspiracy theories, like yours when you thought e's cop claim was scum claiming scum result on his partner).
I have been around these forums for over 6 months now, but this is the first game I've actually gone deep in the game as town. The only other endgame I made was BM-dwarf mafia where we (scum) won a perfect game, with all of us still alive at the end. That game was fake reads, especially getting careless at the end, but things were just set up so much in our favour with the neighbourhoods. Here, I'm actually trying to figure stuff out. I don't have strong opinions, because I don't know most of you well enough. I've posted vote counts because that's what I can look at and provide as useful information, even though I can't pull much out of it myself - I don't know what kind of partnering, buddying, or bussing tends to happen in these games. But I'm trying.
I have no reason to believe joth is the final scum at this point (if he is, well played to stay under the radar and let attention stay on others.... he deserves the win). Most of you feel it's between me and Jim. I feel it's between faust and Jim. I think it's more likely faust. But the fact that we have 2 chances, I'd be willing to vote Jim out tonight, and try to show you again that it's not me tomorrow.
Reread the quoted posts that faust has provided with a town-math perspective. D1 and start of D2 relating to iguana... there was enough attention elsewhere, I wasn't trying to bring up another potential target but was trying to consolidate votes, which is more useful at the start. I fully intended to look more into iguana later... but I had played more games with the rest of you and wanted to see 1 more day out of him. He was pushing me, so of course I can't fully ignore him, even though I was intended to ignore him enough to look back at him later.
That's when we get into D2 and my "big case" on iguana... my gut reads on him kept ringing scum bells as I read day-to-day up to this point. To use the words of others already in this game, I expected my reread of iguana would "break the game wide open". I went through all his posts, and still posted my "big case", but admitted by the end of it that it didn't provide the incriminating evidence that my (likely biased because I was being targeted by him) opinion I thought it would - instead, most of what he had posted made sense. So I started actually believing him.
Then when e brings a scum result, it felt like he/scum was trying to rope me back into the "iguana is scum" opinions, to misexile him and get close to lylo... and like I've said repeatedly, the way e claimed just didn't make any sense as a 1-shot cop. He hedged, hinted, and looked for support without a claim (which could make sense as a full cop, hoping to get another result the next night), then he finally claimed, but didn't reveal his true role at first. That just screamed scum to me. So I pushed for it. If I was really scum, would I that obviously "protect my partner"? If I know iguana is dying that night or at "best" the next night, why would I put that partner-defense out there? I did it because that's what I truly believed, because I didn't know.
