Im going for a much better and more precise post (taking a half hour out of work for this, y.w) to help alleviate some of your suspicions.

Just a few sentiments of yours from earlier.
Prana wrote:In fact I'd go so far as to say it's possible that scum knew Ray had put his foot in his mouth by accident, and saw town attacking town, and just tried piling on the pressure by adding not just a vote, but by throwing a baiting line in there to get him riled up, knowing full well that I wouldn't notice it so much, and hoping others missed it too.
Oh strange, didnt I mention someting like this is happening JUST NOW? Wierd that you havent noticed it this time....
2 posts of yours later:

So, that makes me think that the potential scum would be in the region of:

Quick shift.
From your most recent post:
a. Can you show me where you admitted that you were wrong about Ray? Maybe I missed it.
b. IMO instead of 'evaluating everyone' like you say, you seem to be overzealously attacking someone despite what they say/do even in their own defense. Its not until they begin to attack you that you rethink your position. You are being extremely aggressive and its only serving to help the chaotic situation, which helps SCUM and NOT THE TOWN.
c. You took your next point to a level that was ridiculous. In no way did I imply any of what you said. I was attacking you because I felt your overzealous aggression was bad play, and I was citing the players that you directed it at. Posting a lot is great, and elaborating on good tells is also great (albeit Im not always pro at it), but to take it to the level I felt you did seemed too far to me.
d. Where did I even insinuate that "looking at everyone is somehow scummy"?
e. I was stating that your aggressiveness is leading the charge, sometimes with and sometimes without them. This accusation does not speak to their ability to think for themselves.
Ok, let me move on:
@Phaen - I'll take your advice and answer your questions with bolding from your post.
a. Do you think I was implying Ray was scum when I mentioned play-acting? If not, what was the purpose of including it as a question?
No. I wanted you to clarify your stance. Saying someone is play-acting doesnt do a whole lot to describe their guilt/innocence IMO.
b. Which defense/point/posts did you want me to respond to in the 5th question for me?
Ok. 1.

Reminder: You just posted several times harping on Prana for his bandwagon vote, but when you do it, its somehow not a bad thing? Hmm..

You didn't actually answer the question you quoted, so yeah. Ummm... actually do so next time or don't freakin' quote it.
Okay, you’ve got me. Here is my answer:
Posting a lot doesn’t necessarily increase nor decrease your chances of not being caught as a scumbag. It’s the substance that matters. Like I said already, if you were posting many things of substance that even seemed to be drawing out logical conclusions, I would be less inclined to question your erratic behavior, but so far we haven’t really pulled MUCH from your posts, which leads me to believe that your style of posting a lot and shifting blame around is to create an atmosphere of chaos and confusion, thus allowing you to sway opinions more effectively while also keeping the spotlight as far away from you and your partner as possible. This is a common tactic of any good scum (at least the ones I’ve seen).
#2 I feel is the most important point I raised, and I feel still to this day has not been countered or defended.
c. What did I say that makes you think I am 'venomous'?
The way that you were attacking my logic felt more like a defense of Ray, especially with how you were calling my posts 'terribad' and saying I was using 'horrendous logic'. Now, not one to be a hypocrit, I am very venomous at times, especially against bad logic. I was only mentioning this because mine was the only quote you felt inclined to weight such harsh words against.
d. Who do you think is scummy besides Ray?
At this point, Prana (see above), PE, fuzzy, and possibly jmurph
e. Can you elaborate on fuzzy's contradictions?
I retract this statement. I was taking another person's post (ray?) out of context, and after re-reading all of fuzzy's posts, it makes a lot more sense to me now.
You defended Prana as
genuinely scumhunting the entire game. He has been paying attention and trying to improve his play. I get a pro-town read.
Does his willingess to jump around and push lynches despite a good read (which you yourself noticed already) not catch your attention? Keep in mind that if he is scum, coaching him on better town play is only going to unsure that he acts the part better.
Also, citing my response to your question 'b' above, looking back over Ray's posts, do you see anything that he has done
for the scumhunt?
If so, what?
@fuzzy - At first you said RF was giving you scum vibes, then a few of your posts later you said he gives you a "strong town" read. Can you elaborate on what changed your mind so effectively?
Forgive me, its 4 pm at work and I have to handle the front desk until close. I will be continuing my post elaborating on everyone tomorrow during the day. Please, I can only say dont rush to a conclusion that I am scum, because I am not, and I also am more able to contribute now that my real life activities have slowed. If you give me a few more days to elaborate, I will gladly prove my willingness to scumhunt for the town, if after Monday night I havent assuaded your suspicions, then by all means, lynch me.
