He went after Black Rock on Day 1 because of her (what I felt anyway was a) genuine reaction to Mac's policy lynch idea. Also is pinged by her "shrug" smiley.

This post rubs me the wrong way in a way I can't quite articulate, but I'll try to. I agree that Mac's plan is a crapshoot at best and destructive at worst, but the way BR words it here feels like she has inside knowledge on the situation. The little shrug at the end pings me too, as if BR is saying "Do what you'd like, ignorant civvies, I've said my piece."
When BR gets sarcastic, saying "omg BR used an emot uh oh", basically making fun of Turnip's ping, Turnip responds...
Turnip Head wrote:Like I said, I don't think following a policy lynch is a good idea either. Your tone just stood out to me. What does the shrug mean BR? What does it mean?!
Seems like Turnip is now making a joke about the smiley, even though in his previous post he looked quite sincere when mentioning it.
Then SVS asks Turnip what he would have done had BR used the bigger shrug smiley, Turnip responds...
Turnip Head wrote:I'm not sure.

Again, this feels like he's joking about it again, despite seeming quite sincere when mentioning it in his original ping of BR.
Then he makes about 5 or 6 posts, all discussing other players and not mentioning BR again. Then he posts...

Now that's interesting. He places a vote on Black Rock, yet at the same time says he's interested in hearing her theory. To me, that is saying that he knows he's wasting his Day 1 vote on Black Rock because later, after she won't be lynched, they can discuss her theory. Why waste your vote on Black Rock? Why is it, after you initially accused Black Rock, she defends herself and then all you do is make jokey posts about emoticons until you eventually do vote for her? Why?
Other interesting notes...

The ones Zebra posted were related to roles, but I was doing other jokey posts, too. Again, it was gettin' intense in TH, so I just wanted to kick back in this game for a sec.
Sorry about the self-vote. Once this bizarre day 1 is over, if I'm still in the game, I will legit scumhunt then.

I keep going back to this post and I don't feel good about it. The game moved pretty quickly past Mac's attempt to policy lynch you, but you didn't step your game up and you've stated you won't do so until Day 1 is over and you're still alive, and then you self-voted. You've effectively put the onus on everyone else to make a decision about you or vote elsewhere. I find that Day 1 is usually the hardest place for baddies to hide or to contribute, since there's no voting records for them to manipulate, and a single mistake is usually enough to get lynched on Day 1. So you've given yourself a pass for one of the most difficult phases in the game. I see plenty of baddie motivations for the attitude expressed in this post and I'm struggling to find the civilian motivations for it.
I find this strange because in the
other game I made that EXACT same post, and do you know how many times Turnip questioned me on it? ZERO

And I also have to wonder if you're not looking for a reason to cast a vote on a person that already has 2 votes.
What I'm looking for is for Matt to explain his actions to me.
And I hate to drag another game into this, but I see Matt participating at a high level in the other game that's going on where Mac pulled the same stunt on him, but he's not even trying in this one.
But remember, kids, Turnip is all about
in thread evidence.

But Turnip's very next post...

I feel pretty good about both of them atm.
I dunno how I feel about him. It's hard for me because I feel like I'm NO Uing the guy here, but let's remember, I did ask about Turnip and Drac when the day first started, so it's not
entirely a NO U.
