I actually think the way Awaclus has been acting with all these votes is scummy.
How?
OMGUSing, then being like "oh crap, I OMGUSed" and unvoting.
You're forgetting that there was a claim there and it changed things. In retrospect, I guess it should have been obvious that he had a PR which is why he knew that chairs wasn't scum, but at the time, it just felt pretty weird that he would initiate the wagon on me when his evidence for my scumminess was, from my perspective, completely wrong. This is why I originally voted for ashersky. Then he claimed, and suddenly his evidence was apparently correct, so even though the conclusion everyone is drawing from it is still wrong, it makes sense so I don't think it's scummy.
This is all not so convincing.
Either Ash is telling the truth, or he's scum. You're not making the latter argument. There therefore must be two scum on-wagon against Joseph (from town-you perspective). You should be trying harder to figure out who they are.
I think he's making the former argument, not the latter.
Anyway, here's the rub:
1) ashersky is telling the truth AND Awaclus is mafia.
2) ashersky is telling the truth AND Awaclus is town.
3) ashersky is lying AND Awaclus is mafia.
4) ashersky is lying AND Awaclus is town.
These are the only four options possible. Here's the thing -- the portion before the AND and the portion after are not directly related. (Note: #3 is ridiculous.)
So, all this is pretty clear to everyone. I think the only thing that matters is Awaclus's reaction, actually.
What's town!Awaclus think when I come out with my original vote (pre-claim)? What does scum!Awaclus think? What's his reaction as either alignment post-claim? The answers to those questions will help you decide if you think Awaclus is scum.
Remember, my actual "case" on him is that he's the only non-confirmed town player that did not lynch scum on D1. It's not a slam dunk case, by any means. I would argue that Awaclus NOT fighting the case is evidence that he actually is scum. He's not arguing that scum bussed. He had one post stating that either chairs or me could be scum. I would have done more as town.
