Right well let's look at the simple fact here. 5 people voted for BB's lynch. Including yourself which I will address later on in the post. That's
. I want to go back to something I said earlier in the thread.
I would rather go for an early successful scum lynch early on through gut instinct and risk losing a VT if that means that we have one less scum embedding themselves into the game, gathering... "supporters" (for want of a better word)
I stand by that, as shown by my actions. The analysis posted by IAI from a previous game concurs. Funnilly enough, your essentially agreed with as well. This post is your reply to the above post I have quoted:
This is something I often think about, too. Because the more someone talks, the more explaining and defending that person can do. I don't know about anyone else, but I am usually pretty sympathetic in those situations and am easy swayed, or at least made to hesitate, by explanations. So sometimes, an early scum read is a good thing to lynch on, but it takes a lot of the detective work out of the game.
If you were so concerned about an early lynch, then why did you leave you vote on BBmolla when they were on L-1. In fact, if you were so concerned about an early lynch, why vote at all?
Strange how you come on here D2 all brazen for hammering someone that you actually voted for.....
It's a newbie game, potential scum tells from noobs can often be put down to inexperience. Let me be clear on that point, I'm referring to BBmolla throughout the game and not my hammer. I do not attribute that hammer to my inexperience in online mafia. I stand by what I did. I stand by that quote above.
5 of us (3 if 2 scum were in the vote) made a mistake. That includes you ....

So let's talk about Scumhunter then. I made one tiny comment asking whether he was lurking (to which he said yes!). Think like a scum for a moment (maybe you don't have to...). My hammer is obviously going to arouse suspicion. Maybe it's extreme newbishness, maybe I'm scum, maybe I'm confident in my reads. But N1, two scum are reading the game and going: "Wow, cavjj is in trouble here, if we get rid of Scumhunter he's going to look even worse...". I wouldn't be that stupid if I was scum.

I didn't have a massive Scumhunter issue, I addressed (with a three word comment) something he said. You are reading too much into it. In all honesty, I was more suspicious of you than I was of BBmolla or Scumhunter. But I gave you the chance to answer my concerns, which you did and I took the vote off. No I didn't gave BB a chance and made a mistake. I accept that. Why didn't I? I think a mixture of instinct and a desire to get D1 over with, something a couple of other players agreed with.
So that's why I hammered. I leave you with one question. If I was scum, obviously hammering BBmolla was going to arouse suspicion and probably start a bandwagon (which I'm now fully expecting). Knowing that, why would I still do it? Because I'm PT and we had a chance to get rid of scum.
