Yes, this seems very plausible and I'm sure I've seen it happen many a time. A townie does something so scummy, that a scum uses the "too scummy to be scum" fallacy and hops off the wagon, knowing that it will continue without them, and try to earn townie cred by not being on it.Serial wrote:The other theory is that he's town and I'm scum, in which case I built up pressure against a scummy player who a lot of people wanted to lynch until he actually voted himself, doing osmething alsmot universally regarded as scummy and at THAT MOMENT decide that I didn't want to be on the wagon and that it'd somehow totally escape notice if I unvoted and revamped my thinking.
Yes, I realize I'm using the assumption of Raskol being town in order to push another point on you while my current theory is Raskol/Serial scum. I've said that it's possible that Raskol is town and you're scum, and with your unvote and epiphany of Raskol, I think you're the person we should lynch today.
I'm going off memory here, but I believe I was posting for a bit when Peabody was at L-1, and then I jumped off after others had unvoted, and he was at like L-3. So I didn't derail when it was starting to gain traction, but after it petered out.Serial wrote:Attempted derail of the Peabody wagon when it was starting to gain traction, and wasn't on the wagon when he was lynched.
Though the fact that Raskol is now trying to argue self voting isn't scummy in MD is almost hilarious enough to push my vote back on him. However, seems as if others are setting him straight, and unfortunately (because I would love so much to lynch Raskol), Serial is still scummier.
