I don't know if I ever wrote it out fully, so here's why I stayed off the Jake wagon:
Jake seems like the easiest mislynch ever. I've played two games, both with him, and in both games he's been lynched D1. His "scumslips" have been false; he just screwed something up as town. I didn't know that this game; I was ready to hammer if needed. However, his mislynch D1 in M89 gave me pause. I wanted to give him a chance to prove himself, to show that it wasn't a scumslip but a mistake. Obviously, this didn't happen.
So. If I was ready to hammer, why didn't I do so before going to bed? My understanding is that lynches tend to happen at the deadline. There were still at least 10 hours to go before that. As I said, I knew I'd be around for the deadline, so I could still make my vote count.
Why haven't I voted this game? The number of votes needed for a lynch scares me. With two scum running around, if two town members are on the wrong wagon, scum jumps in and gets the mislynch. I'm not saying scum need to be the last two, just that it seems like an error is likely. As stated before, I'm used to lynches happening at the deadline. A mid-day lynch is foreign territory.
The conclusion is this: I was scared. I am scared. I haven't felt strongly enough about a scum read to overcome those fears. Jake and RR would be the two that could push me to vote sooner, but both have other reasons for me hedging; Jake's is above and RR's is my mistrust of the scum read. It seems odd to think someone is town because they seem scummy, but that's where I am.
My phone is back, so that VLA is over.
