Same with the West issue before, I have far more reasons for why I think Ari is scum than for why I think Lyserg and Vyse are his partners.
Lyserg: I've already commented on his playstyle and version of scumhunting, which tends to be just trying to catch people in their words, which I think is more likely to be a method shown by scum than town, especially given town's higher chance of actually making wording mistakes.
The original vote on Ari and subsequent edit and commentary in that post just don't sound very genuine to me. I don't think his reasons for not voting Ari are near strong enough to outweigh the reasons for voting him.
Vyse: I actually didn't even realize a good chunk of his content has been about me until I went into his ISO, but it doesn't really look like he is scumhunting. He also started off the game with an Ari vote and then backed off for reasons I'm not sure were made clear. Like, what does this post mean, actually?
In post 141, VysePresident wrote:I'm still not thrilled with Ari. His early posts bugged me because he seemed to be more inclined to banter than engage, and more importantly, when he did engage, it seemed more directed at creating suspicion than sorting through the game. That said, I'm not sure he's my first choice anymore.
Especially given no follow up or actual questioning of Ari. For someone who is unsure on a slot, he sure isn't asking any questions or appearing to actually figure him out.
Again, these are quite a bit weaker than my read on Ari, but if we are in a weird LyLo and I have to hit the scum-team all at once, this is the team I would pick.
