Someone asked me a bit ago what my reasoning/what I thought would benefit by lynching Millar (Earlier in the day).
to that, I'd FIRST like to make it clear that that was A LONG time ago (Like 14 pages?) and that not all (If not that, then none) of my opinions from back then are the same as now.
Also, the reason I didn't give examples/quotes and whatnot, is becuase i was "Speedreading" and was just giving a "Hey! heres what I think" post, much like what the new replacements are doing now.
If i remember correctly, Millar was being self-destructive, and anti-town back then, making pointless posts, and DRAWING attention to him for the town to analyse.
This meant that the town was not scum hunting, due to an immense diversion that was Millar. This distraction had to be removed in order to move forward as a town.
In such a large game, we can justify a HORRIBLE townie lynch, to make progress on the next day - on the theory that a full town with one HORRIBLE player is worse than a full town - 2 townies.
Also, at the time certain players were avoiding the whole Millar fiasco, and some were jumping on it - power players like Robo come to mind as attackers of Millar, and lurking players (Most have now been replaced) come to mind as avoiders. with that info, if Millar flipped town (Which again, in that post I say I didnt think he was) we would have some dirt on Robo and other power players, and some trust in others, if Millar flipped scum (At the time I thought was highly possible) then we could see Robo (And others, i dont remember exactly) as a super pure townie, because they jumped on Millar immediately.
Hopefully this makes sense to everyone, and more importantly the question asker.
I'd like to remind everyone that I welcome questions to my play, and will try to answer all of them, so if i miss one, please remind me.
Thanks!

Now on to scum hunting (If you can even call it that right now).
Xite, I agree with a person who posted that your plan felt "Made up" on the spot. that plan DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.
Think of it, why would the mafia kill you again? YOU LOOK LIKE MAFIA.
Whenever I play as town, I try to be two steps ahead.
Whenever I play as mafia, I try to be THREE steps ahead.
*Next little bit is purely a "What I would do" scenario*
If a townie is showing scummy behaviour, I go for them in the DAY phase, to sway the town, and look like a townie.
If a townie is being REALLY townie, or fairly scummy, then I DO NOT kill them in night phase.
Why? becuase then the town KNOWS what the mafia will do.
Lets say you ARE a lover, why would I kill you, if your whole plan revolves around the town NOT killing you NOW, so they can see your plan and kill you LATER.
That is like giving the mafia insight into the future actions of the town. In this case, making day 2 a complete cake walk.
*Scenario Over*
I really do not like your play right now, with your huge amount of posts, many EBWOP (which shows nervousness).
My vote stays on you untill we can show someone else is scummier.
