Ha! A response! Great.
First of all, I admit I borrowed a page from Robz's playbook about appearing convinced your case is good to pressure the subject into giving a more revealing reaction. It's terribly unhelpful when pretty ok cases solicit a lukewarm reaction because the subject feels he doesn't need to say much about it because even author of the case himself doesn't seem like he believes in it enough to lynch you solely based on it. But, onto the actual response. Not quoting to keep this readable.
1. I hadn't been reading the thread, so I didn't ever experience the stale lull you described. I was surprised by the easiness of catching up, so I absolutely buy this point. I still believe the scum narrative I introduced is valid, but so is this town narrative of yours. Good response!
2. True, it's not totally arbitrary - but you are confirming that you picked the criteria partially to make Archetype look bad. That's just.. bad scumhunting and a mistake, or scum trying to manipulate town towards a mislynch he deems easy (or, well, a lynch of someone not in their team anyways). Again, I believe that you believe in your Archetype-case, multiball is quite tricky. I just disagree with your way of pursuing it, it goes under manipulation whatever your alignment. Any subset of three having a good chance of hitting scum is by no means a reason to look at any trio harder than other people in itself, but I'm sure you understand this.
3. I feel dumb but.. I don't follow this point. Could you reword it?
2) Yes. In hindsight I should have just pointed out Archetypes role in lynching faust and left it there. Mistake on my part. But it is a mistake whether I am town or scum. I don't think that it says too much about my alignment. For the sake of the argument, say I am scum. I want the archetype lynch. I post something like that and it now draws suspicion on myself. Bad scum move especially because it detracts from my desired lynch and gives people a reason not to trust me.
Now say I am town. [cut and paste why it was bad for me to say it as scum] Especially bad because it causes people not to trust me.
3) I never actually changed my tone concerning you. I never really had a "tone" to begin with but was merely bumping Robz post to garner a response (which I explained under 1). I think that the "retreat into the bunker" that was my summary post was not a retreat at all, but a statement of my "tone" about you, which ended with a non-committal overview to say the choice between town and scum eevee boils down to one post because you had been lurking
