Switched from town to vote on nova with minimal explanation

The top one gives context to the third but is also suspicious in and of itself when does sig ever look town?

In all seriousness, though, I can't vote sig when I'm townreading him, despite the couple of things that bother me - and nova was there to defend sig's vote for him, which is meaningful I think - a vote has enough explanation if the votee can understand it's rationale.

So at least for now, and probably for final, I'm going to [VOTE: Epignosis] aubergine

Epi just slayed in GoC by providing real cases that looked good. His case on dunya is, frankly, basically meaningless but he's acting like it's a silver bullet.

One day the world will ask me to save it by using the very methods they have ridiculed me for using.

And I will answer, "No."

Yeah honestly I'd rather give her the BOTD and find a better suspect for today. I want to catch up and talk with her in real time. We'll see.

What are your thoughts, Scotty? Where would you recommend I consider voting?
Wherever you want dude, it’s a free market.

Check out lunalee and tell me if you’re seeing what I see. Her iso ain’t long.

Epi and to an extent, LC, are the ones that were continuing to push the dunya Dom scumslip. I don’t think Epi looks town right now.

Many kingdoms have fallen because they were protected by ones who looked like men.

Evil men rejoice when they need no spears or arrows to destroy Epignosis.

nah you were compared to other players to me in discord in the past when we were OT discussing prolific Syndicate mafia players.
Dom has been mentioned 142 times in Discord, and none of those were comparisons to you.

I find this super convincing.
But that's not what she even said? She said that Dom was compared to other players to her. I have had conversations with her in Discord about Dom myself. If Dunya gets lynched, let it be for something not fucking stupid.
I was being sarcastic. I think it’s a dumb accusation and that’s part of why I’m voting Epi.

I wonder how many times you will win by lynching the dumb instead of the bad.

Golden wrote: ↑Tue Apr 24, 2018 4:09 am Dunya, sucks that you ended up feeling that way. It’s a struggle we always have here, posting ratios, and all of us high posters have gone through similar emotions I think.

Epi, who else is bad other than dunya?

That s not what she said Epi. She said that someone has had a conversation with her on discord in which the comparison between Dom and other were made. The "to me" meant, it was said to me. Not that Dom was compared to other players and compared to her.

I don't think she would have called on me to verify this had happened if she was making shit up. It would only make sense to do that if I were on her team and were to immediately come in and say yes, can confirm. Which is not what happened here at all. I can't recall the conversation but she and I have had many conversations since we met and it would not surprise me one bit if we had such a conversation. And frequently our conversations are in between just she and I, by DM. So you can't say unequivocally this conversation did not occur. I can't say I recall the exact conversation she is referring to, but I believe she is telling the truth because it's the only way her request to me makes any sense. I think this is a load of bullcrap case personally.

That's what I meant. Here's an edit:

Dom has been mentioned 142 times in Discord, and none of those were conversations to you that was comparing Dom to others.

Epi lays low as scum, sure, but he's useful as town. Game has actually been going for less than 24 hours, finals for schoolteachers are approaching, etc. Epi hasn't been super active this weekend either, and has had company if I remember right.

This is fine of course, but the later the game goes, the more I consider whether they are just leading us right into the fire
