I don't have any information from during the night and I didn't receive any notification of anything being done to me from role redirections or things like that. Not sure why scum would redirect to me, or maybe the redirection was entirely random? I don't know.
With that said, I think if we don't have any concrete leads we can look into the people who are just active enough to not be considered inactive but also not on anybody's radar.
He just wants to look into inactives and rely on abilities rather than scum tells.
You clearly didn't even read what I was saying. First of all, I said IF we don't have concrete leads. We did get some leads shortly after I made this post. I also said people who are NOT considered inactive, but just active enough. Once again, you're interpreting it in a way that already confirms your hypothesis of me. Typical confirmation bias.

Yes, I have been lurking but my not posting until now was not without reason. I was waiting, gathering info for this post. I think it's strange that Lenny was not alerted that he had been targeted by Vom's ability. In fact, it almost seems like a lie. Lenny, did you really not get alerted for anything? If not, then why did SS get alerted and not you?
VOTE: Lenny
The classic 1v1 dual scum is being illustrated here. The scum create a 1v1 situation in hopes that after the others lynch the other would become soft cleared. The thing that I found wrong with BV earlier was how aggressive he was. A town BV doesn't start wagons but rather follows others. While there is a huge learning curve in WW I didn't think that was the case. Notice how BV has more info than us. It's from the scum chat.
I like how you're so sure of yourself, when in fact, literally everything you just said there is pure speculation. There is zero evidence to suggest that there is the "1v1 dual scum". Where do you see BV having more info? In fact, he stated the wrong information. He thought Vom targeted me when it was in fact SS who did. This whole point is completely off. This alone is a decent argument for Brave Vesperia being scum, but it doesn't tie to me at all. I like how you make these arguments about BV being so obviously scum after that's revealed. You didn't vote for him either.

Okay, just gonna say it. I'm Chuck, and I am the receiver of Squirtle Squad's Steelix. However, I do not know exactly who did it, but Athena's PM leads me to believe it was scum.
"Hey, look out! Oh no, it’s too late, some dastardly villain stole the Pokéball of your beloved Primeape and forcefully traded it to some guy named Squirtle Squad. Now he is the permanent owner and trainer of your Pokémon, and you get instead…
Chuck’s Steelix"
I have removed the description of the ability because I do not wish for anyone to know (unless SS already posted it, I can't remember) until the time comes.
@Lenny: I don't 100% believe you. It just seems really weird to me that you didn't get any info. ##VOTE: Lenny
BV continue to pursues Lenny for a weird reason.
This isn't an argument. It's a statement. I agree it was weird that he kept pursuing me. Now how does that relate to me being scum?

I don't see what's so hard for you to believe. For the majority of night abilities, the target of said abilties is unaware of being targeted. Unless there is a direct and immediate effect, such as poison or vote weight change or other game mechanic related thing, the target is usually not informed of being the target of a night ability, and definitely not who targeted them. Your reasoning for my lynch has no proof behind it and is extremely suspect.
I'm not convinced you're scum but you're a strong candidate. Honestly, I'm hoping you paraphrased because while it'd be great if scum got modkilled, we can't afford losing townies over easily avoidable modkills. Paraphrase people, don't kill yourself!
Lenny doesn't vote. Lenny never votes for BV even though he is a "strong candidate". He is hoping for some miracle to happen and his scum partner will be saved.
Camo never votes for BV even though earlier in this post he claims BV was so obviously not behaving like he was town. Huh, odd. I said strong candidate because he was the best lynch. I was not convinced at the time, many people weren't. I wasn't ready to place a vote on someone who may or may not have been modkilled either, turbolynching someone while they're on the modkill chopping block is stupid.
Lenny said:
Yes, lynch the person who the leader of scum was going after before any heat was put on him. That really makes perfect sense, MtC.
This doesn't make the BV thing seemed planned at all.
Once again, confirmation bias. You're seeing it unfold the way you want it to in your head. There's an equally likely chance, if not greater, that he was being aggressive with his vote to try to lead the town. You can't possibly tell me that every time a scum has voted for a non-scum in past games, the first conclusion is the "1v1 dual scum" scenario. BV was aggressive towards me before any pressure was put on him so it wasn't a desperate attempt at clearing me. I was already a lynch candidate before his posts so why would a scum partner push it even more? That makes zero sense and you have yet to address that illogical part of this whole "1v1 dual scum" scenario.

@BigfootAUS: I never said I must be town, but I am implying that it's highly improbable that a now known scum would bring any attention to another scum buddy, go as far as to vote for him, have other people end up voting for him, never retract the vote or try to push it towards somebody else. No, I'm not confirmed town but I'd say there is evidence to support I am. I know it's actually a potential scum tactic to do something like that (I forget if it has an actual name) but like I said, evidence points to that not being the case. If that's your argument for voting for me, there's an equal (if not higher) chance for that not being the case.
Again. Look at how planned the BV thing was.
Wow, you're literally not saying anything here. There is no argument. There is simply an opinion with zero backing behind it. What about this post makes you say there is a greater chance that this was planned? Elaborate in your posts and actually present arguments. Stop hiding behind poor rhetoric. Present your arguments in a logical manner so I can actually dispute them.
Lenny said:
The last thing left to address is BV's potential use of a scum tactic. It is such a high risk, extremely low reward tactic especially this early in the game to do that. There is nothing to gain from trying to clear me as town right now. Alerting more attention to me when I'm already considered a potential lynch target is completely backwards and illogical thinking, something you can't just explain by "he's a newbie wolf". I'd also like to remind you that BV attacked me BEFORE his desperate moments or anybody accusing him of being scum.
Why we aren't instead looking into the 3 other players that voted along with BV is beyond me. I doubt all 3 are scum because that's stupidly obvious, but the chances of one of them being scum trying to help BV and reinforce their vote is likely. I haven't gotten a particularly scummy vibe from Camoclone but MtC's weak arguments against me and Keeper's jump on me by simply agreeing with the arguments against me, which weren't actually specified when he voted against me so for all we know he was referring to both BV's argument and MtC.
I just see OMGUS here. In response to the thing at the top it's not that unlikely and is a common tactic. How would there not be much to be gained if you were cleared as town?
In my 3 recent games of WW I have not seen this tactic been used even once. Personal experience does not represent whether it is common or not, but I highly doubt it is a common tactic. It is a reckless tactic with high risk and little reward. Soft-cleared is different than full-cleared. At the end of the day, whether or not it clears me is not the point. The point is actually having an argument against why I'm scum, rather than saying "you're not cleared". It is not OMGUS. It is my opinion. Anything I say, you will try to turn against me because you're tunneling. I presented logical arguments as to why MtC or Keeper could be scum. I'm not simply voting for the people who voted for me. In fact, I didn't even vote! I brought up ideas! Nice try, though.
My vote sticks for now although r3v is also scum.
