600+ words but I can't really change this without becoming incomprehensible or skipping some things I want to say. Sorry. All the solutions I thought of were just using loopholes to cheat the rules and would probably be recognized as such, so yeah.
UK's original case on me makes... absolutely no sense. Like, "why the hell did I get voted over this"-tier nonsensical. Not only was my vote on Shadoweh completely different from actions that Dan had also performed, but I really can not see how town!UK could get what she did out of my question towards Kiro. Maybe I just, you know, wanted know Kiro's case on Sect so I could have something from Kiro to go off of? Asking for opinions isn't scummy, so UK is either scum BSing or a townie looking way too hard into my post.
... But you know what? At this point, I honestly think it might be the latter. This may be a dumb meta-clear, but after hearing her reasons for voting me it seems to me that UK could easily be townie!UK who got too enthralled with her own silly case. I still disapprove of her setting up traps over scumhunting actively, but I'm willing to switch off of her for now, as I do think all her content regarding players other than myself has been entirely reasonable (meaning that I might just be voting her due to bias). There are better ways the UK/HW scuffle could be resolved, anyway. :x
So, Shadoweh.
I've talked about why I think you're scum already, but I'll add this to the table: I don't like the way you handled your switch onto Sect followed by your switch back onto me. Even when you had your vote down on Sect, you did little to actually pressure him, making the point of a "pressure vote" completely null, and you switched back to me at the drop of a hat as well without fully explaining your reasoning. Seems more like you were scouting for a potential Sect wagon to me. It's also rage-inducing that you seem to think I can't judge a player who is voting for me without it being an OMGUS, seeing as that's basically an excuse to let scum who are being scummy get away with not being voted by the person they're currently attacking. Ugh.
##Unvote##Vote Shadowehtl;dr the entire Sect exchange was bad. Her original switch to Sect shows awkward prioritization of cases, her continued stance on Sect has a lack of pressure on him which makes her vote completely ineffective, and her switch back to me barely had any backing behind it. The entire scenario reads like scum scouting for a potential lynch target while not actually being able to reason and prioritize their votes properly due to prior knowledge of everyone's alignments.
@ People complaining about how my cases are only on the people who are voting me: I'm sorry I didn't find anybody else particularly scummy at the time of my last post? If you want my current opinions, then Sect is silly, but not scum. Bard is unreadable as ever (filling in for Conqueror here). Hourai and Kiro are reasonable enough that I wouldn't attack them today. I'm getting major town meta-reads on Serela from his only post. Polly should post more talk about players who aren't named Dan, because as is he's pretty much contentless. I could actually maybe see him being scum!Polly struggling to make content due to MRM, but that should be left up to the mod if so.
I could maybe go for a Dan lynch since his tunneling on Bard borders a bit on IIoA, but I don't think he's as good of a target as Shadoweh. Dormio doesn't look great either, as his pressure on Shadoweh feels rather silly, but I don't think I could see him as her buddy.
