Omtose is a strong player, if a bit too willing to parrot my every say in an attempt to seem wise, and so I am not quite convinced we should move to lynch him today..
But at the same time, he seems to guilty!
He does seem very guilty! The thing about it is he's not really doing anything to deny the guilt. It seems odd to me, at first he was nervous about it and now he's throwing it all out there in a way. Very erratic behaviour! An attempt at some reverse psychology perhaps?
the best way to avoid this kind of thing is to ignore it..
unless someone latches on. Unfortunately for the killers, it's often difficult to do that.
Like Serc, this bothers me a bit. Symp much Kesso?

huh
all right then, remove vote
Summoning was succesful anyhow
Thyr has already changed his vote 4 times, maning he's clearly lynch happy.
vote Thyr
When did it become a bad thing to want a lynch? The lynch happy claim is a ridiculous argument to use on day 1 as we all want a lynch and we have next to no information to go on.

Middle-of-the-roading, boys. I don't like it, but its not actually a scum tactic, not all the time anyway.
Kessobahn, seems to be like thats a bit of symping. "Omtose is a strong player... and so I am not quite convinced we should move to lynch him today." That's not only middle of the roading, its keeping the attention on him in a subtle way, making us watch him, and making Kess seem like he's posting solid content. Of course at the same time we should just "ignore it". While I can see Omtose being guilty, the only time any "suspicious post" gets scum lynched Day One is when its a drunken post
Vote Kessobahn
Ok, you want a gamestyle problem.
Here we go. This is your vote. Probably your most contentful post so far.
So, first you've said he's middle of the roading. Then you've said thats not actually that suspect.
Then you attack him for what is essentially middle of the roading.
You say it keeps our attention on him:
Not particularly. No more so than any time someone attacks someone a bit. Its not as if he's making us tunnel-vision on him or something.
In fact, the votes you've cast on Kesso have done a lot more attention grabbing, for you and kess. Is that a bad thing?
You think someones suspicious, you say so, people look at them. yes, it gets them a bit of attention. Again, im not really complaining cause its not stopping us looking at other people aswell.
Makes him look like posting solid content: Cant say it does for me tbh. To me, as you point out, it just looks like middle of the roading.
So, the middle of the roading thing, as you say, isnt always scummy.
Then you've attacked him for attacking someone. Yes he says ignore it. To me, it isnt saying "Look at omtose" followed by "Ignore omtose". It reads more "Look at omtose, I find him suspect" followed by "This particular post may as well be ignored"
And you've essentially latched on, and drawn a lot of attention to kess.
Wait, isnt that what was scummy about kess in the first place?
Why am I middle of the roading? I am telling you what I think, and I am trying to make clear the what I think most likely and what I see as counter arguments or doubts. Anyone who claims to be convinced of guilt day 1 are clearly either idiots or lying. I could easily have yelled OMTOSE IS EVIL WTF!!!11 but what would've been the value of that? I would do nothing more than start a yelling match trying to see if I can yell loud enough to get people to follow me. I don't think that benefits us. I think it is better that I show you why I voted yet also make it clear I'm not just telling you to vote because I say so. I want you to see my doubts and consider whether you think they are relevant and substansial enough to merit not voting for, in this case, Omtose.
I believe what we need is a discussion going, not a yelling match. You can feel free to disagree, but you'd be wrong.
When that's said, Emurlahn is hardly acting like an innocent right now. I am sorely tempted to change my vote
