Dasquian, did you miss this post?

I'm a bit dubious about following Ecto's cryptic cop-pish claim to clear or incriminate people. Not because I think he's lying, just because we're all putting a lot of stock in it without really understanding it and that seems dangerous.
I endorse this statement.
Looking forward to any big thought posts or PbP by anyone at this point.
Because since then you have brought up the same point
here
Ectomancer's psuedo-claim is a little more troubling. The very fact he's sticking his neck out to make it plays in his favour enough to convince me he's not the right choice for today, at least, but the lack of specifics and general "trust me" undertone to his approach means it could still be a scum gambit of some description. I would definitely appreciate more information, and I think I'm justified in asking for this: Ecto, given it's been a while since you laid out your gambit and everyone has posted a fair bit since, did you get what you expected? If not, why not?
and here

Dasquian, I don't understand what you mean by my "gambit", or "what I hoped to get" from it. There is no need for me to go into it all, as it will all come out as it should.
OK, this is what I don't like. You've claimed to have information that will lead us to a cult recruiter, and at face value, that's superb. I have no real reason to doubt it, but then again, I have no real reason to follow it without understanding the details.
My problem is that after all of what you said, you haven't made good on your initial implied recruiter-hunting ability and given us a good direction to go in, so now I'm considering other possibilities - was this all a big play to look like a concealed power-role, without actually delivering anything of substance? If you think keeping quiet at this point is the best move, fair play, I'm certainly not going to rock that boat. Just know that right now you've not given us too much, and I remain suspicious.
If you aren't going to rock the boat, then why are you rocking the boat?

Oh I'm sure there is at least 1 player who is VERY interested in the mechanics of my role. I'm wondering why you would be doing their work for them (if you aren't them)
Were you the night 1 Cult Target Dasquian?
Scare tactics, which I'm not going to buckle under. Remaining open-minded and refusing to follow people blindly is not anti-town behaviour.
To where am I blindly leading the town? I have made direct statements that can be taken for their face value. I have agreed with anyone who suggested that it should be taken for no more than face value. Aside from that, I have speculated upon many theories, some which later gained actual evidence in support of them, (cult) some that were disproven (or seem to be anyhow) by claims that have witnessed support now (BM). I've made suggestions as to how our Frog Brother Masons should behave in order to protect them and us. Do you disagree with that? I welcome any dissection of it.
My current vote is an admitted bandwagon vote and I'm not grabbing anyone by the nose to join it.
Anyhow, not sure where I am blindly leading everyone.
The fact is though, the Cult Recruiter should be
very
interested in me. What can I do? What can I not do? What happens if he targets me? What happens if one of his cult members tries to kill me? What happens if I target him?
Now this game seems late, and in a fashion it really could be if the cult can effectively "hoard" a bunch of kills and use them in a single night, but it is still Day 3. If we have a Cult Recruiter, they must be feeling hemmed in as the net grows tighter.
Maritya has been bitten, but is exposed and says she will remain town.
I believe my statement concerning the Frog Brothers will effectively provide protection for them from the cult and from suspicion from us because they are very confirmable via results.
Hopefully BM and HH have some way to keep each other safe from the cult and suspicion as well. Im not going to ask, but if they do, it is yet another town member safe.
You follow me right? The net grows tighter. The wiggle room grows smaller and CR really needs to know what's going on with me as soon as possible or they could make a fatal mistake.
Hence my suspicion of being pressed about details. I said already, only take what I say at face value, but you asked me direct questions Dasquian, regarding my role. You weren't just warning others not to play the Mice to my Pied Piper.
It's very scummy behavior.
Cicero, it is interesting to say I am bullying in an environment where there is no physical presence and I hold no power not possessed by any other. You are additionally under suspicion for pressing for a release of information in a much broader range than simply my role and with little pressure to do so. I've already called into suspicion your eagerness to claim Beach Bum and you still could be the CR. He could also be your night 1 target and after I nixed your attempt for divulging all information, he steps in later for the attempt.
It means your opinion on the topic of whether it is scummy or not to be pressing me is null here, as is mine where the town is concerned. They can look at the quotes and make their own decision.
I have a degree in bullshit. I have patents on entire lines of bullshit. So don't sit here and feed me a line of bullshit and think that I'm not going to recognize it as one.
