If you look at both of the posts in their entirety they're far less damning:

I also think that it's pretty reasonable to focus on generating discussion and getting reads rather than posting cases and trying to get people lynched, especially when it's still early on in the game. I'm willing to lynch LM. Mostly because of lack of content. The questions he asks aren't too bad, but he doesn't seem to be doing anything with his answers. At this point I'd prefer lynching hopeless, nothing even on the level of LM's questions yet. I think Koshi might be scum. He started off with a policy meant to generate discusison, cool. But the next time he enters the thread, he explicitly claims that he's just gonna be lurky and let others talk.

I would like Jonny to explain his arguments against me though. I am actually upset about the fact my early posting is "shitposting" tbh. Seems like he's trying to get away with non-contribution, and wasting most of his day 1 by being cryptic. He ended up posting a case on Jonny, which was bad and atm it looks like Koshi doesn't stand by his own case. Jonny's actions regarding the LM vote actually do make sense. Koshi also accuses Jonny of having a scum mentality for talking about his own waffling... even though Jonny was responding to a question and Koshi thought that too.

The part about him being scum.is.because he is not trying to read me.
In bed atm sleeping. Koshi also has a defense post. But it doesn't seem to me like he's that worked up about a read, and it doesn't feel like he's posted all that much (well, his filter is kinda long. Main reason I'm not totally convinced he's mafia). I can't believe his claim about fast reactions in my position.

I'm starting to think jay might be mafia. He seems to spend a lot of time defending himself, not as much looking for mafia. Still don't want to lynch him soon since he's so much more active than some people. His main case was on LoneMeow, which I didn't like that much; I really don't find much that's especially scummy about LM. Not too sure yet, this will probably be greatly affected by how jay posts from now.
LoneMeow and Hopeless were lurky. Can't really tell if they're mafia from that, but they're fine lynches. Hopeless's more recent posts don't seem very substantial. Bad sign imo.
Need to think about/read alaska and suki more. I thought suki was mafia for a bit, then she seemed to post and try.
It's not like he's saying "jay is town" and then suddenly going "jay is scum". More like a gradual shift from "I don't want to lynch jay" to "jay seems scummy but..."

Those two thoughts should be considered as contradictory. I shouldn't need to say this, but town wants to lynch mafia. All of the possible evidence for both independent thoughts were already in thread at the time of posting each thought. Its the fence sitting that I think is scummy about him. Suki points out (in the same quotes) how he does the same thing regarding you LM.
I can see that, but town also does not want to lynch town so when uncertain some of us tend to err on the side of caution, especially when talking about relatively active players.
Again, I don't see him saying "jay is mafia" but rather that he's becoming suspicious of jay so it isn't quite as contradictory as you think.
I shall go and reread his filter in light of this case, though.

Koshi on the other hand created two pages of shit posting. This allowed LM and other LM like people to pop in, say nothing and fuck off out of here acting as though they participated in the game. Just look at the progression: "How do you dare to vote LM, he said the most sensible thing in this thread" "LM his second post was really good, I didn't consider the other ones" "LM can be lynched" "LM posted like shit early game, but it really was Koshi his fault" It literally goes from this guy posted incredible pro town towards everything this guy posted was shit. And there is a post right after Jonny said "I can lynch LM" where Jonny give his scummy list and I am on top of the scummy list and not LM. In none of the quotes does JonnyLaw say "I can lynch LM". Almost like Koshi didn't even really read what he quoted.

It literally says "i brb", yet you post a meaningless question when it clearly says I will elaborate. Then your conclusion is, yes he is misrepresenting stuff. "Please point out where Koshi is misrepresenting and/or ignoring context." is only useful if you disagree and aren't finding anything yourself, yet now you're agreeing.
It's also useful to see if you actually had something to point out or were just claiming that without any basis.

In my mind town-Koshi would be far less likely to be lazy when making a case and would re-read what he's quoting. You're right though, it's not strongly alignment indicative at all.

Now that Hopeless has posted his case what's your opinion of Hopeless and Oats?
I'd like you to put your vote down somewhere.
Hopeless1def looks better, Oatsmaster worse. I still find it hard to vote Oatsmaster over Hopeless1der though just because of the difference in activity/content.

Well to be honest, your brb-post did not really imply to me that you were going to make a followup so I wanted to ensure you would when you returned.

It seems like he made was just pushing Oats back cause he needed to come back in the thread with something. After calling Oats scummy. He made up his own case so he wouldn't be blatantly sheeping.
He was actually asked to make a case earlier and he had promised one:

On second thought, I think this would be quite helpful. You don't have to quote his filter 5 times but if you can explain why you think his defense did not appropriately address my case that would be good. kk first thing when I wake up.
@cakeman, you were reluctant to vote jay earlier (when you were saying koshi is scum). What changed?
I'd call him scum if he didn't make one after that.

Why are you voting the same player as your scum read Oatsmaster? Because Oats isn't getting lynched by the looks of things. There is sufficient reasoning to lynch either of them independently of the other.
How strong are your scum reads on them compared to each other?

Can we lynch Koshi? The way he's not participating in the discussion about cakemanofdoom is scummy as hell.

I disagree that taking ages to develop scumreads is waffling.
[ I didn't say that, I said he's beating around the bush. Not that he's being indecisive. As town, I don't think you should have gotten yourself in that kind of situation. If you really think cakeman is scum, and the votes aren't going in your way, and you've done everything you think you can to convince town that you are not scum, lonemeow is not scum and cakeman is. Then you shouldn't vote lonemeow to save yourself because YOU THINK he's town, and the town sentiment clearly thinks you are scum. You saving yourself will just make you be a HUGE question mark for the rest of the game.
I would argue that the correct play is still to save yourself, because the only one whose alignment you know for certain is you.

Not necessarily anything, scum-Koshi could be distancing from potential mislynch. Or he could be avoiding being connected to a scum buddy.
I think it says far more about Koshi himself.

To add: There's no reason for a town player to avoid discussing the leading lynch candidates.

He seems to exhibit a mindset I find pro-town lately. I'm very uncertain about him right now.
For example:

This is pretty much the only acceptable answer from a town player, had he been defensive about it I'd have called him scum instantly.

Quick forum search seems to say he's only played one game before this and he was town in that one.
Are you calling him scum now? After defending him so vigorously earlier? What changed your mind?

It's worse than that really, since we don't get any kind of connection between his slot and the flipped player.
