Key work "luck". Any information role for town is, for lack of a better word, informative. Negative tracks/watches still give small tells of alignment. Scum roles are all crafted with the intent of dealing damage to town roles, from the most simple RBer to the far more complex Voyeur. Scum MUST have an idea of who town powers are if they want to use their role correctly, town does not need to have great scum reads. Its that same prinicple that encourages scum to NK Derpy Ponies who drew PRs. Staying quiet does help town more than scum once a lynch is decided.
You aren't doing anything but putting up an almost meaningless vote. You aren't advocating for the lynch. If you were then we'd be discussing how scummy what Zlinger has done is and why he's mafia/third party rather than town, instead we're discussing what YOU'RE doing and now I have to think how scummy I think this is instead.
Apart from the fact that all anti-town claims should be lynched on site since they play directly against the town win condition at worst only in select scenarios - Zinger refuses to do anything this game that can be construed as scumhunting and in fact has shows signs of going to act purely based on emotional bias and vendettas towards other player instead of doing anything that is useful. This has continued to the extent where he has openly admitted to be borderline trolling instead of playing the game, which is already playing directly against the town win condition.
Now, in addition to that you have him name claiming which really can accomplish nothing according to mod flavor (thankfully since I have zero idea who a couple of these claims are from or who I am), but it can manage to create a good baseless distraction for a little bit as that all gets sorted out instead of any scumhunting being done.
Anyway, the biggest reason that he is scum, more likely than third part even, or queen Derpy Pony, is the way he has delt with a few claims throughout the game. Initally his response to the "vig" from ZeL1nK is one that seems unable to determine if its real or not, I would side with he is legitimately worried though. Nothing at this point which would be a natural breadcrumb area is there, instead we just get some more or less nothing useful. Possibly the only upside of any play early is he voted Chevre. Going back to the tell though, I can't believe for a moment that any town would be braindead enough that with a vig claiming intent to kill them, decides its time to fakeclaim third party as a town power role.
The funniest part is, the claim made TONS of sense to me matched with his early game play, although its still a lynch on site claim. Then there is his vote on the uncountered tracker. Also the zero scumhunting.
@Junipi - Does your role have flavor backing to it, yes or no?
There, more of a reason even though its been all there for 20 pages. I will even throw in charm.
So now its time to lynch who should have been lynched ages ago, as the only type of defense I really see people trying to throw out there is that he is too scummy to be scum.
Also I still see no reason to show my playing record, since it should have little if any bearing on what your read of me is. Who I replaced is probably on the front page as I don't remember which one I got.
