Okay Prof I'm going to assume you're not trolling me, so I'll try one last time. Any more than that I'm just going to disengage because I've got a tolerance limit and I am hitting it.
Prof, scum do things that "scum have no reason to do" precisely because they know people will make that argument for them. What you need to then ask is "do they as scum really lose anything for doing what they did". I think if you tried to be objective about this question in this specific scenario you would find York stands to lose nothing by defending you and gain potentially an ally.
Now why kill you? Because you're not going to be lynched. Then they can ride your read off for cred. Basically scum 101. Now I'm not saying all this to try and get you to flip your read. Your posts have already made it clear to me that that's a lost cause. I need you to start thinking harder because you're giving very low level town reads and treating them as far more solid as they should be. I'm not even sold on the PoE I have just given you but I can't get anywhere if you're going to give me... politely, I'll say shit arguments. If that's the level of thought you're willing to give then I'll just do what I like today and probably barely bother because this game is a lost cause. I'm not saying that to get at you because it's not just you, it's a whole collective that just refuse to engage with madia beyond shallow level 1 thinking. I can't help you with that.
