although i understand why people are trying to flush out MiX's partners.
Yup; I've 96% moved onto searching for MiX's partners and only 4% asking myself "but what if I'm wrong!?" I'm not wrong.
There was 'soft' trap set in #429. Maybe MiX required an elaborate defense:
#444 SS lists of newbs voting for MiX juxtaposition against experienced players appeal to experience/authority which i find not compelling.
#445
Assuming MiX is scum, it would take more guts to stay off it. Scum might now feel pressured to bus.
This doesn’t make any sense, you just said none of the experienced players are on MiX. It does provide you with an alternative target in D2, if a more experienced player jumps on because the newbs arguments become compelling and/or you don't want to go down with the ship. The fog of war.

let's vote: DatSwan. I hope your reads are better this game than last @faust
Does this sucking up technique actually work?

Re: Mix responding to every point: that's a playstyle thing. In order for a "flailing" argument to have any merit, you need to point out that he does it differently as town vs scum. Since this is his first game (right?) there's no reason to believe it's anything other than playstyle.
He is not new and this isn’t flailing… it’s worse. He didn’t care then started asking a billion questions, while mentioning every other player in the rest of his threads.
Speaking of questions didn’t you say didn’t you say…
Answering questions is super scummy. vote: arishipshape

Does anybody else see how ridiculous this is? His stance is flapping back and forth like a flag in a blizzard.
That probably means he's town. The idea that town is more consistent than scum is a myth. Generally, the opposite is true. For new players in particular, you should assume the opposite.
You don’t have to be more consistent than scum to be town… you just have to be consistent… a town is less consistent that scum… that can’t be.
#449
Remember that this game is not actually about winning arguments and then lynching people who made the least amount of sense. It's easy to slide into that mode, but the actual goal is to find scum, which is a very different and much harder task.
You are not helping find scum.
As much as I dislike this post on an emotional level, I have to admit that it probably makes you towny. In fact, it's probably one of the most towny things that have been said so far.
Of course i'm town, you had the first open town read on me in #150. Plus it’s extra safe to say it now because other have come out with it. It’s the overt defense of MiX that’s troubling.
As well as 4 newbies on a fifth newbie, there's also 3 vets on the same person
Yeah, I have no idea why I was voting for her, though, and you probably don't have a great reason, either, so I don't think that means as much.
So far you have had no, bad, or contradictory reasons for voting for people.
Note: I read lasts posts first so my number could be off.
