@Plum: Sure, no problem.
I'll linearize the KHG wagon's progress with my thoughts to them.
It starts around pg. 10, when Plum first points out rolefishing questions KHG asked. I agreed in 242 that KHG shouldn't have asked those questions, but I still had an overall town read on him. (maybe bit newb-town, if you take it into account that he's a newer player)
Budja asks why did KHG switch fast from Mysterio to Narsis, to which KHG simply responds
KHG wrote:
I'm not voting for Narsis right now. I said I'd like to hear from him. Apparently, my not voting for him is scumlike, and if I voted for him, that would be scumlike.
He is shown to be cautious and doesn't want to draw attention to himself. And he should realize that just because he's not voting for him doesn't mean he's completely clear. But I still think that he is more likely to be defensive newb-town then scum.
Plum responds to KHG with 246,
Plum wrote:KHG, bringing up questions, even with that sort of disclaimer, is partly asking for answers to the question. Mentioning the questions does constitute rolefishing-prodding. What, did you expect to let the questions hang in the air - and you didn't say explicitly that they shouldn't be answered. You just said you didn't necessarily mean they should be at that point - it's speculating about info and prodding for answers - directly asking Mysterio about his role and powers - with a little disclaimer. The tone and intent still had to do with questions which were not put there to sit and look pretty. They were there to get speculation out in the open and directly increase the chances of everyone talking about it, especially Mysterio, the only person with the info you asked about. Disclaimer or not. It had distinct overtones of rolefishing. You directly asked questions about Mysterio's role. That counts as asking Mysterio for information, or pushing him to reveal information. This wouldn't be egregious if you didn't turn around directly and call Mysterio out for having given the info. You asked the questions. If you'd said 'oh shoot, I shouldn't have asked those questions because they shouldn't have been discussed right now' that would have been one thing. But you refuse to shoulder the weight of having asked some of the questions which caused the revelation of the info by Mysterio. That's hypocritical and opportunistic.
I am a VT = I don't have any abilities.
I'm a Townie = Look guys I am so completely and totally Town, really super Town!
The latter can be scummy; the former is by itself neutral. You tried to equate Mysterio's statement of #1 for the inherently suspect nature of #2.
My main problems with you aren't your desire to wait on a Narsis vote in and of itself. However, my desire not to move my vote yet springs from the fact that my reason for voting Narsis was related to his lack of participation, bag full of nullreads followed by a jump on a popular bandwagon for a mediocrely explained (at best) reason EDIT: Actually I think I understand it better now, and I might feel a little better about it. I need to gauge whether or not he's still avoiding contribution and content-posting or not, and if he posts, does it seem to be honest scumhunting or not.
After examining the text, I came to the conclusion that Plum is basically explaining her rolefishing accusation against KGH for the first part with a statement example (I didn't get the example, unfortunately; I don't see much difference between "I'm VT" and "I'm Town", not including the = "stuff"), and the second part explains her vote against Narsis.
Then Pg. 11 began.
KHG maintains that he didn't join the Narsis wagon because he didn't vote Narsis. Same position as he took before.
Budja comes in to say in 264,
Budja wrote:@KHG, Whether you are voting for him or not in a technicality. I want to know why are you interested in voting for Narsis rather than Mysterio who you looked quite happy to vote just a post earlier.
(i.e Why did you change your focus to Narsis?)
I praise his point, since Budja reminds KHG that it's just a technicality, but the intent to vote is more important here.
KHG responds by arguing the importance of a vote and that there is a difference between intent to lynch and wanting to hear a case, which, while do I agree that votes are very important, I think it's pro-town to vote someone, because votes, unlike opinions that get buried under other posts, stay as solid evidence of the said person's stance at given moment in time. I do not approve of KHG's unwillingness to commit a vote on someone.
Thor joins in and accuses KHG in 267.

In other words - you seem to be sitting on the sidelines and not helping, my gut says 'OMG, no scumzhnting means obvious scummorz, vote pl0x!!!' Why is my gut wrong?
Good point. Except for the word choices, I would've said same had I've been around to respond.
KHG repeats that Narsis isn't worth voting for.
Plum asks KHG directly then who is his top suspect in 269, which KHG replies that he doesn't have one.
Unfortunately for KHG, not having any suspects often translates to not scumhunting.
Button joins in with 273,
TheButtonmen wrote:@KHG:
Why do you always assume they are talking about Narsis when they mention scum hunting and whats your main reason for disliking the Narsis wagon?
In first point, Button points out a possible scumslip, but I don't like his second point, because Button unfairly treated "not believing Narsis's case enough to vote him" to "I'm against Narsis wagon". Still, it's KHG's fault for being wishywashy and not commiting.
after that, people start voting KHG.
After considering these points, I decided not to vote for him. If it was day 2, I probably voted for him, because inconsistencies mean much more in day 2 than in day 1, but seeing that I originally had a town read on him (before he began being all wishywashy), I'm going to give this wagon a pass.
