So Purple, if I was a native speaker would I look scummy to you? If so, please vote me, and explain why.
Apologies -- finished the re-read, but this is going to be shorter than I would have liked; have ended up with some RL stuff to deal with the next couple days. :/ Basically, it was instances of sarcasm and arrogance in response to minor pressure, and occasional things I read as nervous attempts at humor, that I saw as scummy. Stuff like that isn't necessarily scummy, but can certainly be read as such, and I've wavered back and forth between doing so. Calling it an English-as-a-second-language issue was misguided of me; it's more an issue of your playstyle, and me trying to determine whether you'd act that way whether you were scum or not.
Your most recent posts haven't struck me as scummy, and I'm more confident voting for wolf or mallow than I am for you at this point.
And another note:
People are jumping on wolf over this switch of vote and "easier to lynch" thing, but I actually think he actually explained himself coherently. (Whether there's scumslips in the language he actually chose, and whether his explanation is a plausible one, are different matters. But it's at least coherent).
Wolf said in his 3rd post, where he voted for Gonzoooo, that
he believed Gonzoooo and Consig were scumbuddies. Consig later started to get more votes than Gonzoooo, and kept engaging in behavior that was making him more suspect than Gonzoooo. He looked like the easier of the two to get lynched first. So wolf moved his vote over to Consig, to aid the process, and to try to make sure at least one of his suspects got lynched. (This is what the
"economical" use of the vote referred to).
In terms of the outline of his reasoning, I don't see it as being very different from me saying in my post that I suspect both wolf and mallow of being scum, and am willing to vote for either of them. As I think wolf's first post was a garbage reason pulled out of thin air, though, the fact that he's consistently stuck to his case doesn't make me suspect him any less.
