Hindsight is 20/20, but I don't think there's much chance I'd feel differently about either train in another game. In those instances, when I believed there was a rush on Virm and a deflection away from a lynch Badger on a weak target, what else would I do but attack the lynch lists? Calling it shaming isn't bad actually, kind of what I wanted to do, but it wasn't aimed at town. Big noise, put them in the spotlight, try and provoke a mistake from someone. Now, obviously, that only works if my thought on the lynch are correct. It wasn't. It was, in fact, entirely wrong. Could not have been more wrong. All of the wrong. But I hope my reasoning rings true.
As for the Knee lynch, sorry mate, don my black hat, it was piss poor. No ifs, no buts, based on the state of the game at that moment, with the information and assumptions we were running off, Badger was, by a considerable distance, the stand out lynch target. I understand why you wanted to bring up another name for suggestion (though frustrating), but then a lynch was successfully launched on the back of what essentially built to 'he's been a little bit quiet'. The 4 days not been online thing was easy to check but apparently nobody did. It all stunk, so I'm going to say something. I'm not always loud simply because I'm loud (mostly though, obvs), it's so if I'm killed my thoughts are there to be seen by those left in the game. Purely selfishly, makes me less likely to be the target for a scum kill if I've managed to throw out some of their names or they think I might attract protection.
But, to clarify (and there is a reason, it's not simply sulking), Knee was a poor and illogical lynch choice with apparently everyone on the lynch not checking something very simple. That last bit too, really? Not one person thought to check or even click the hyperlink you made? It seems unlikely.
So that is still where I think we should be looking. You think I look scummy because me being wrong meant I was arguing in favour of a scum member and attacking the Virm train, which we now know was legit. Can't really argue with that. But you won't find inconsistencies in my approach, logic or game play. And that is where we find the scum. With decisions that don't fit in with how the game was at that point, shifts or apparent flashes of understanding showing duplicity. The Knee lynch was just that, a illogical happening, so I'm sticking to my guns and picking through those on it.
