this was very easy. two posts. first post defends shady and calls out kush; second post retreats from this defense slightly and continues to argue against kush.
considering node's only two posts match what i have been arguing all along............. i like this guy.
the big question now is what it is about these two posts that caused 8 people to drop their pants and go all in on this guy. like, i read the posts... what is there exactly that people are seeing? this doesnt make sense. 8 votes on him so i have to assume with a normal mafia count that there are at least some towns on him.... why?
And here I show some reluctance. I wasn't hardcore voting him, mentioning it as a "policy lynch".

Personally I'm voting for him because he's made little contribution and disappeared. While I agree with his post, it just seems like he posted it to make it seem like he's contributing.
Also, I can't find a good lynch target, so I'm viewing this mostly as a policy lynch.
KJ still seems pretty damn scummy to me, but like BC pointed out, that's meta-consistent. (Right now in Day 1 I'm putting a lot of faith on what people are saying regarding meta. For example, I would rather lynch coag due to his shit posting, but apparently it's just the way he plays)
So for me it was either keep it on KJ or change it to Node. Since KJ is posting a lot more I've decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and go for someone who has disappeared.
Also, more (kinda) confirmed town expressing resistance over the node lynch:

Everyone keep your votes on shady sands. Node bandwagon looked scummy as fuck and only makes shady look even scummier.
And finally my switch:

Allright, there he is.
I've decided that I will not give a shit about what people are saying regarding meta and choose whoever I think is scummiest and makes a better lynch.
I'm going with coagulation because of what I've stated earlier on him. He hasn't posted anything useful so far and flows along with content-less posts. Shows no real interest in scum hunting and his association with me on shady sands is ridiculous, as if he is incapable of reading.
##Unvote
##Vote Coagulation
Allright, there he is is what I said. I said earlier that I was jumping on his wagon because he seemed to feign a contribution and disappear. Later, however, he comes back and argues against the lynch. He came back, and his defense seemed reasonable. That led me into making the above post.
Anyways, two things. First off, not wanting Node lynched is what scum want, but they aren't willing to throw it out in the open, so as to draw attention. annul opposed, Coag opposed, so that criterion alone is not good to define scum.
Obviously, my case is a little different, because I voted and then unvoted.
I
immediately jumped on the wagon. So either me and my mafia buddies were planning this all along in the mafia QT, or I, as a bad townie, saw both VE and marv jump in and decided to sheep.
So, in my opinion, me planning to jump in, then later, jump out if things got rough is pretty silly, don't you think? Wouldn't it be much easier to just go ahead and vote someone else? Why go through the trouble is what I'm saying. A scum will only vote for his scum friend to get town cred from a bus. What other reason is there?
Another thing to ponder is: if that was my plan all along, why didn't I jump off at a much later time, when the votes were more meaningful? If I want town cred, yet don't want to lynch my scum friend, the most reasonable thing to do is just that, right? Stay in the bus and pop off if it makes a difference.
What I don't understand for you to want to lynch me, is why does it make more sense for me to be scum than be a townie with a bad start? I completely changed my gameplay after that event, as I said I would. Once my other game was over, I became a lot more participative and began actually scumhunting. Both you and DP have seen my play as both scum and townie, and how I was playing in day one is not even close to any of them. That is because my claim of not having enough time is legit.
So, if you want to lynch me, you are throwing everything about my play day2 and beyond in the toilet. You are lynching me mainly because of one event, which is very easily justifiable by being a townie mistake. Why do I make a better lynch, than say Mattchew, who has done absolutely nothing since the beginning of the game except tell people not to lynch shady because of dumb reasons?
Personally I find this very lacking. You disagree, but I think it makes little sense from a scum mindset. My townie explanation, in my mind, is much more fitting if you take in consideration day 2 and beyond, and the fact that I expressed my insatisfaction earlier on, on my vote on him (again, when he showed up and defended himself, I found it reasonable and unvoted him, in accordance to my earlier post, which said he "disappeared"). The scum explanation makes sense, of course, but imo it makes much less sense than my townie one, and not only that, it also ignores every single thing I've changed in my gameplay since day one.
That about sums it up.
Think of my townie explanation, your scummy one, and see which makes more sense, based on what I've said.
