You claim to have been trying to confuse scum, but the thing is, in this game it would be impossible to limit confusion to only scum. This not only makes it a bad plan, but dangerous. How would you be able to control who gets confused by what?
Obviously, I cannot control who gets confused by it, but it was a calculated risk that I thought should be taken in the circumstances for the benefit of the town as a whole.

Why don't you read the thread instead of pretending to have asked questions that you had not actually asked and instead of pretending that I have not addressed the reasons for doing what I've done? I voted Coolness on March 5 for the reason stated in my vote post (and for reasons not explicitly stated which I addressed in that post as well) - I certainly wasn't expecting him to freak out, self-vote, and claim mason as he did - and I unvoted him in my next post.
As for IH, I explained some* of the basis for my suspicion on him in my post #467. Did you miss that? Do you disagree with it? (*some - because there were other things that I didn't post because doing so would potentially compromise the town's interests, but anyone who reads the thread carefully can figure out what they are and why I didn't post them at the time)
As for dejkha, I certainly would have voted for him on Monday had I been here during the day when the pages of posts following Coolness' death transpired, but I cannot post from work (I work for government and I am required to abide by a very strict Internet usage policy) and by the time I got here on Monday night and caught up on the pages of posts that had transpired in the interim since my last visit on Sunday afternoon, he was already dead.

I hope you are not suggesting that the standard for townies is to always be correct in their choices of targets. If that is the standard that you wish to impose, it's not only ludicrous but it makes you just as infallible as me (and everyone else). Glass houses and stone throwing come to mind.

Now, you're just parroting, rokovoj. Don't do that. You're a better player than that.
rokovoj wrote:I also don't like her attitude towards us once the wagon started building on her. 'You guys don't understand this game is not regular mafia, your reasoning is so superficial, etc etc.' I lied when I said that post didn't influence my opinion of her, but I didn't realize until now, haha. It's odd considering that just a post or two before she had congratulated us for successfully finding dejkha-scum.
Who is this "you guys" and who is this "us" of whom you speak? And, as an aside, appeals to emotion such as this are not at all helpful.
rokovoj wrote:If we hadn't already had too many mafia deaths to make this impossible, I would probably be convinced that both of them were scum, but I can only pick one, and at the moment I would rather lynch Jazzmyn.
As I've already said, I don't mind dying, but this is an utterly ridiculous post. There is a grand total of one scum left, so saying that you "would probably be convinced that both of them were scum" if it weren't impossible looks very much like scum trying too hard to look town.
PhilyEc wrote:Proposing we lynch Jazz first and Nico second (second lynch if necessary).
Your stated first instincts about which of me or Nicolio is more likely scum were more accurate than what you've posted subsequently, but again, I don't mind dying so the order really makes no difference. Actually, I would just as soon be lynched first if the town is dead set on lynching me.
And I'm still not sure that you are not the remaining scum. Any comment on what I wrote about your predecessor in my post #467 before you off me? I think the town will benefit from you addressing it, whether before or after I'm dead.
Also, to the town, after my demise, please consider the possibility that rokovoj could also be the last scum. It is entirely possible that hohum did not target her on Day 1, and possible that he faked making it look like he was going to target her in order to inoculate her from suspicion. Please keep that in mind after I flip town and if, by some fluke, nicolio also flips town.
Regards,
Jazz
