Impressions on the way down.
In the context of Alex's reputation preceding him, I'm tempted to not worry about him and turn the mute button on until he does something egregiously bad. However, I am curious as to how he knows what I've done so far is "Vi being Vi" though, as well as how he's apparently suspicious of my "votehopping" in the same breath as saying that I'm just being myself. Alex seems to be under the misguided impression that we had much of an RVS for some reason, and that everyone chose to participate - the only people who were in an RVS were jason and the ones who ignored the Alex wagon for some reason.

While I have seen Lacey play before, it wasn't in a closed setup; and if there's a meta saying she likes trying to cloud every conclusion we can come up with Today, I can sort of relax on her.
By the way, change your meta. It's harmful for the reasons I brought up earlier, plus you can't disavow
every
Town read you have because there's a
chance
there might be multiple scum groups. Further, using your meta as a crutch looks severely unsatisfying no matter what it is you're trying to justify. Last, the general rule is that Town loses after mislynching three times if there are more than seven players (even in Large games, as long as there are more than seven players).
I asked Lacey what it's like to be scum simply because I don't know how her personality type plays as Mafia. (and to potentially scare the bejeezus out of her if she WAS scum)

VP Baltar took the words out of my e-mouth in naming Col.Cathart and Cirdua as the next choices in scum. Cirdua's first two posts look like terribly awkward attempts to integrate himself into the game that fell flat. Look at post 42, where he manages to disagree with Col.Cathart and yet still say absolutely nothing solid. In post 45 he tries to tell us that everyone is focusing on Alex, when that's patently untrue. All I see are attempts to avoid controversy.

He voted himself. RVS or not, if he votes himself, then he's not town.
Now that's a severe stretch. I've known a number of people who voted themselves first thing as policy. One of them claimed Serial Killer in each game while self-voting. While I know they did it regardless of alignment, I can say that they were always Town in the games I was in and that no cataclysm of fire (or quicklynch) occurred because of it.
If you had posted that with quantifiers (i.e. "most likely scum based on what we know at this point") I would have been fine. Here you're point-blank justifying a 100% blind policy wagon that probably-not-coincidentally you were
fifth
on. I don't care that it's your "berserk button" and I don't particularly care that there's no direct Town motivation to self-vote (what do you think of Alex playing it off as
Fong's Gambit?).

Which games? o.o;
@DRK: I didn't even do it this time v.v
Come join the vote I'm about to make; it's shiny and comes with a little blue umbrella poking out the top.
@d3x: With a post that only protests like that aside one other post that jumps fourth on a wagon, don't you think he's justified in calling you a lurker?~
I don't have an issue with jeromus at this time.

Hilariously, Lacey now has the same size of bandwagon as Alex did. I'm going to change that and chase the person who is least good at making excuses for acting like scum.
Unvote: Lacey
Vote: Cirdua
