I don't really understand exactly why I'm being lynched. Xtoxm is pushing me from a meta read that he hasn't explained and shouldn't be relevant either, considering he's played 1 game with me, I was scum in that game, and my play in this game has been absolutely nothing like it. I asked him for clarification twice on it, and he has not explained it. Apparently now I'm being pushed as scummy for asking Xtoxm questions on his claim. Sorry for not immediately accepting it. For the record, I asked him those questions because if his ability was an activated ability, I was going to vote him since his predecessor's were inactive and should not have been around to submit them. Since he "just gets told" I'm willing to give him a pass for now.
I think Erratus is scum. I wasn't sure on him after yesterday, and I thought he came into today fairly pro-town, despite the fact that he was pushing for my lynch. However, as the day has continued he's been pushing worse and worse logic to try to bolster his case against me. He's trying to create more to it than there really is, in order to get others aboard. In addition, his logic for supporting mass claim was awful. I don't see Erratus coming to those conclusions as town. Now that we know the cult recruits, and that they cannot recruit officers, I think Erratus is a good bet for Cult Leader. Mass claim had the potential to wreck us, based on what we now know. People could have easily claimed officer/non-officer without any realization of the implications of it. So when I see Erratus supporting this with awful logic, it reconfirms my belief that he is scum.
As for Springlullaby, I seriously don't know whether or not she is scum or just really paranoid town. I've personally experienced that same mentality as town before, where I'm suspecting of people who agree with me. However, it only happens when I'm not strong in my beliefs in the first place. If I strongly believe something to be the correct path of action, and someone else agrees, I do not suspect them for that alone. If I'm weak in a belief, I question myself, and thus also others who agree. The problem is that I can also see this mentality as scum. As scum you are not strong in your beliefs, because they are wrong. Hence, you would be "suspicious" of people who agree with your wrong ideas.
For now, though, I'm leaning scum on Springlullaby simply based on two factors.
1. Hypocrisy. She just accused me a second time of parroting her post--338 parroting 335. Read both of those posts again. While there is minor overlap in what we say, I'd hardly call it a parrot. I have many different points in my post and discuss different topics altogether. Even if my post was a direct parrot of her post, she still needs to establish why that is scummy. She gave an answer, I responded to it with a strong reason why it was wrong, and she has not responded to that, despite my constant prodding.
The reason there is hypocrisy here, is that people have been parroting each other all throughout the thread,
including SL parroting my own reasoning on pushing Gremwell
! She needs to explain why my parroting is scummy, and why other parroting is not. She needs to really explain herself here, because it is near impossible to go through a game of mafia without someone parroting someone else at some point during the game. Trying to use this as a point of basis to suspect someone is awful. It happens every game, and there's no real correlation between two players agreeing and restating each others points, and the person who agrees being scum. I have asked her to answer these questions and more quite a few times and she continues to refuse. The fact that she's attacking me for parroting her ideas, and refuses to address the fact that she earlier on parroted my ideas and how that relates is just ridiculous.
Secondly, she continues to dodge the questions I presented to her. Of course, it doesn't matter if she answers those questions, as they obviously don't make for a good case on her anyway.

This is ridiculous. I'm trying to scum hunt, pushing you for information, pushing xtoxm for information, etc. and the end result is both of you not answering my questions and instead lynching me?
Look through the thread. How do my actions benefit me as scum? How do my actions suggest that I am scum? I'm one of the only players actually trying to scum hunt, but apparently I managed to step on enough toes to get lynched.

Where is your proper case on me?
