Since I seem to be the second suspect after Almaster, since his wagon is still larger, are there any questions people would like to direct at me? I saw one, but it isn't a very insightful question.

My playstyle is different to most of you I guess; I don't really like to throw around suspicions/votes/FoS's unless I feel I have a genuine point to make (as I've constantly and consistently stated) but that aside, what exactly is making me un-cooperative?
Your general attitude has been to delay content indefinitely and when directly questioned say you want to play your cards close to the chest. This does not sit well at all with me, and yes, is uncooperative with the town.
This is something else that jumped out at me. In these quotes, Archaebob makes statements not about the town's attitude, but about the players' actual beliefs. This is
very
scummy to me as I find little explanation for it other than to manipulate the town, or at least the player he was talking to at the time into not investigating him seriously. Granted it could be something else, but I still want to draw attention to it.

No one ever actually said this, or even indicated it so far as I can tell.
Archaebob wrote: and use my current town creds to totally de-legitimize your scumhunting.
Again, I didn't see anyone actually declare him town, except for maybe SpyreX, but I think that was later (correct me if I'm wrong).
Archaebob wrote:Oh that's right. I'm not aligned with you. My bad.
Obviously he intended this to be obvious, but it falls in with the pattern none the less.
Archaebob wrote:A second reason is, if I can be totally truthful, I'm not exactly confident about my prospects of surviving the night.
This is a
huge
soft claim. Right here he is making himself out to be the best scum target, we can assume, because he is the most effective and pro-town player. Does anyone else take issue with this?
Archaebob wrote:Therefore, as I consider my actions to be beneficial to my win condition at this moment, I have little reason to not continue as I have been.
Here's another town soft claim.
Archaebob wrote:yet you are willing to put me up to L-3 because of something which I think should be easy to reconcile with an aggrresive town personality.
This one is not anything like concrete either, but again it looks like Archaebob is trying to strongly associate himself with town. Maybe that is forgivable, but it seems a bit more than necessary to me.
Archaebob wrote:Don't let your personal issues with me prevent you from making a good town move.
Here he does acknowledge that at least one player has taken issue with him, but in context I think that that was rather unavoidable. The good town move part is a little unsettling to me. Yes i suppose it would be a good town move to pressure lurkers, but again I can't help thinking that he is trying to associate himself with the "good town" part of it.

And this is the biggest one right here. No one said this. Ever.
I noticed the last one and it didn't sit well with me, so I went back to see if there were more. I was more than a little surprised at how many I found, and even more than that, that Archaebob is the only one doing it. Others may say something like that once of twice, but
8
times? That seems a little much.
On an unrelated note,
@Everyone - The idea that me Almaster and Peanut are a scum team doesn't hold up. You'll notice that at one point we were all on the Archaebob wagon, even though my part in it was an OMGUS vote. Despite the fact that its WIFOM, I think it would be a blatantly stupid move for a scum team to all be on a wagon for a player at the same time, especially when we've all been met with some suspicion so far.
Also at no point in this game, except for my very first post of the game, did I in any way indicate that I was not suspicious of Peanut or Almaster, and my first post was just an agreement with Almaster's argument, not a praise or recognition of Almaster himself.
You'll notice that they both are high on my scum list, and have been for some time. This is also WIFOM, but why would I cast suspicion at both of my partners on D-1, especially if it is clear that one of them won't be lynched? I fail to see the benefit to a scum player in doing that.
Since the original case against me, has anyone seen anything they consider to be a scum tell from me? I haven't seen anything like that mentioned in the last few pages except for declarations of continued suspicions.
So again, does any one have any more questions they'd like me to answer? I'm seeing repeated expressions of suspicion, and at the moment I'm unsure as to what to respond to in order to alleviate that.
