Scorpious yes and that has never changed since my reads list. Especially since he has disappeared ever since he was pressured.
BeardedCat I'm still scum reading but am a little less sure about. I really dislike how Plot's initial vote on Metal Sonic went down. Because Metal Sonic said BBT was ignoring the thread? When that isn't even exactly a false statement? I'll talk about it more later on in this post but I want to know your take on this.
You also mentioned that you didn't like that I was voting for someone other than who I wanted to be lynched ultimately. And I don't even get why that's a problem. I voted for Aristophanes because you said he was active elsewhere on the site, figured he was still looking at the thread because of that, and voted for him so he'd see that he needed to actually contribute. I still voiced my support of the Scorpious wagon so it wouldn't lose traction (to no avail because KT and Dwlee swapped over to Aristophanes really quickly fsr). I'm not going to vote park on someone, even if I think they are the scummiest, if I think my vote will be of greater use or garner better reactions elsewhere.

MS didn't just say 'Where is BBT?' he tried to spin it to make me look scummy. Like I was only avoiding this game - which is bullshit for two reasons.
1) MS knows activity is not alignment indicative for me, for him to try and use this to make me look scummy means that MS is scum. Town!MS does not do this.
2) I LOVE being scum. MS knows this which means he would also know that I pay much more attention to the games I'm scum in. For MS to suddenly act like this isn't a thing, again, points to MS being scum.
Basically, MS is using things that he knows are not alignment indicative for me to try and paint me in a scummy light. And that's scummy.
See this would have all been fine if YOU were the one that voted for Metal Sonic and gave these reasons. But Plotinus did and never said any of this and it's his reasons for the vote I have the problem with. Don't act like this was all on the table all along.
And even so, you're misunderstanding. Let's take a look at the post that Plotinus voted MS for:

don't mind the ari ignoring this game. it is admittedly, fairly slow.
anyway he was MVP in mafia cafe, i wouldn't think he would be bad as scum for that to be a tell
(psst: BBT is ignoring this game too. vote him back!)
This was in response to me switching my vote from you to Aristophanes. He was trying to convince me to change my vote back. If you read it in context, it's clear I was voting for Aristophanes for being active elsewhere on the site and not posting here, which is where "BBT is ignoring this game too. vote him back!" comes into play. Plot immediately overreacted and acted like this was the crux of MS' argument when it was clearly a throwaway comment. And tbh now I think you're trying to cover for him and giving him all the this justification that he never provided to begin with.
