I don't think you do understand what I did, Ultra. In fact, I would go further and say at this junction, you are no longer attempting to read me. You are looking to fit me into a mould of being scum, because you've already decided that I'm scum, and so everything I do you're going to confirmation bias yourself into reading scum motivation from.
For starters, like I just told you - I don't town read her to the degree that you do. Perhaps I hold her scum games in slightly higher respect than you, or perhaps I'm just not as good at these sorts of reads. What I do know is that I have Luka scum, and Psychic has repeatedly defended Luka on very weak basis. Moreover, I see her attempting to distance herself from the Gad lynch and even claim he was one if her top town reads - despite her having voted him. These are two elements that I feel need to be considered, which is what has took me from strongly town reading her, which I should point out to you, I was doing since Day 1, and weakly town reading her instead. With one exception - if Luka is in fact scum, she requires further scrutiny.
And now secondly, what you claim to be a shortlist is not, in fact, a shortlist. It's a question. A line of thought from which to open dialogue. I di this very often actually - I put my thoughts that are closer to freeform than solidly based to the thread, and ask for input on it. For example, maybe I'm reading too much into her Luka read? If so, someone would, ideally, reign me back in there, and I can drop the thought and move on. Maybe I've missed a post that disqualifies some of the association that I'm building. Or maybe someone has another connection that can bolster an element of what I out forth. The purpose is simply to discuss.
It's not "my" PoE. I have never said it was my PoE. I haven't even implied that it was my PoE. So to answer your question, lots of potential scum. I can post a list now, take off my strong town reads, and let you take your pick from the rest. I have been very clear as to how that lost came to be, the permutations involved within it, and I even pointed out that, absent from said thought I proffered, I would have them town - so none of what you're attempting to characterise this as really stands up to reason.
I would go further. Your identified motivation for me on this would be to widen the PoE. Have you *really* given that angle much thought, though? Or are you chomping at the bit instead of thinking it through? I think the latter, because as scum, there is no pressure at all in widening a PoE that has half the game in as is. Very few are hard cleared by Polar Bear's flip, even less if the game features multiple scum factions. There is no pressure at all to risk going for slots that are dangerous to suspect, like Psychic is, as opposed to throwing in some generic answer in there. Now does this mean I should be locked town? Of course not. It does however mean that the argument that my post can only come from scum motivation, which you earlier came up with, isn't really true - indeed if one were to apply Occam's Razor, they'd find such a position would likely come from Town.
Again, you need to actually read Ultra. If you don't understand something first time, then ask, or read it again. I'm happy to explain pretty much every post or position I make, given the opportunity to do so. Your ability to correctly parse the information from said reasoning is, unfortunately for the town at large, up to you, not me.
