...huge disadvantage for scum, you say?
honestly, I don't see it
I mean, what's so great about Danny Phantom anyway

Anonymous voting is hardly beneficial to Town
In fact, I'd say it's quite the opposite, really
We'd only be hurting ourselves by lynching Danny Phantom

I meant to say "disadvantage for Town" obviously. It wouldn't even make sense the other way around.

It's okay, you can panic anonymously in the scum chat

The game doesn't have to along with lore, which is why I wanted to bring up the possibility of the half-ghosts being scum, despite their actions in the show. We currently have no evidence of any role in this game besides Danny, so getting speculation going right now is helpful. I think it'd be bad to assume that Danny/Dani is town, at least until we get some proof.
To RF on my TWE vote. I already stated I didn't even look at the vote count, all that mattered to me in my vote was to actually get something substantial going to get answers. Had I known where he was in the count, I still would have done it.
TWE isn't Scum. Maybe a lost partner or something but unless he chose to ignore the Scum chat or the whole Scum team is completely incompetent there is no way this is a Scum gambit. Come on.
So, now to that train on him:
theworthyedge (5)
darryl 146
trigger 157
starsketch 201(253)
flame_ac 206
xamtheking 217
blargonaut 285
That's an easy vote if I've ever seen one. Which of these people looks Scummy?
Darryl is a difficult case for me. It looks like he smelled bullshit and called it out, but Darryl also isn't stupid. Why did he take it so serious? Note that he still clings onto that vote with this explanation. Coulb be either stubborn or Scummy; I lean towards the first.
Danny's "lynch immunity" (which actually isn't one) was stated in the OP. Trigger gets a pass from me because I think this would have been discussed in the Scum Chat.
That's a, uhm, prod vote of some kind? Not sure about this one.
"I'm voting him but just for the pressure (I don't care that he already has three votes) but please don't read too much into this"... Strong Scum vibes here.
Nothing to go on. A big maybe. Xam, I know you try to be like Blarg but at least give us something? Subtitles are an okay start.
lttp, typical Blarg action. I don't know how to deal with Blarg yet...I know I asked for it
Nah. I don't think this was an easy target. I think it was the opposite. It was founded on very shaky grounds. I'm not scum. If TWE isn't scum, scum would've known this was a town vs. town thunderdome. It was based on a very shaky foundation, so they would've waited to see the early fall out first. I think if we're looking for scum based around this activity, we should look at fence sitters.

Look.
Royal_Flush quite obviously and absent-mindedly let slip his scum-alignment when he made the above statement, referring to the effects of DP's lynching as being detrimental to scum (i.e, his team), not Town, which he should have said if he was truly an innocent citizen.

It isn't bad for scum. I think Blarg's argument is that the use of "scum" when he meant to say "town" itself is a slip up. Which I guess I could see, maybe.
Why are you bandwaggoning if you're not clear on the case against him?

...still no one gets it, huh? ¬_¬
Okay...
1 Day of anonymous voting via PM = advantage for scum, as any vote-bandwagoning is effectively hidden from sight that Day
Danny Phantom gets lynched = 1 Day of anonymous voting via PM
Danny Phantom gets lynched = 1 Day of anonymous voting via PM = disadvantage for Town
disadvantage for Town = advantage for scum
"disadvantage for Scum" = advantage for Town
advantage for scum =/= "disadvantage for Scum"
Therefore:
[Danny Phantom gets lynched = disadvantage for Town] =/= [advantage for Town = "disadvantage for Scum"]
Danny Phantom gets lynched =/= "disadvantage for Scum", Danny Phantom gets lynched = advantage for scum = disadvantage for Town
Hence,
Royal_Flush made a huge mistake

(I was confused as to why it would be bad for scum, agreeing with Blarg. Possibly Royal trying to get some townie points this way. I don't want to take everything Blarg says as gospel, but Royal's post is more important to look through than TWE's now, in my eyes.)

You bandwagoned against me, and now you're voting Flush w/o fully realizing what you're voting for. I said in my "survey" the biggest thing that signals to me scum is bandwagonning.
I don't know if I agree or even understand Blarg's accusal but I'll look at it later when I'm off the clock.

So you know how I said my placeholder vote was Blarg and was going to switch if someone better came up?

It's there anything else you're objecting to about Flush? He hasn't posted a lot, but his posts are pretty long.
And what happened with Worthy? It's Flush just scummier or did you change your mind?

No, Flush's mistake was not "understandable". It was careless, absent-minded.
Your reaction to his mistake, might be understandable.
Might, since your current opinion could also be construed as 'jumping in out of nowhere to run damage control for him', by trying to downplay his slip's significance like you are... "understandably"?
