PB hasn't been an active werewolf player so I can see him coming from a perspective where he has no idea what on earth a scum tell from me would be (hint: read the last 2-3 games), but you? You should know my meta better than this. I poke people on day 1 a lot. If the response isn't suspicious I don't follow up - Why would I?
Ryan had 4 votes, you had 3. If he had showed up to vote defensively, you could have been lynched. (Not sure I think that's all that relevant, but since you brought it up...) And sure, you could poke people as a villager too. But when I look at your pokes they don't seem all that "constructive" to me. You asked Mattimeo why he even bothered to sign up, which was a bit passive-aggressive IMO. Just taking a step towards establishing that he's a worthy policy lynch without really getting your hands dirty. (Or maybe it was distancing?) Then there's that poke at Bigger that I already rewarded with a scum point, which just seemed more like splitting hairs than actually pouncing on suspicious behavior. It's not like I expect to see a huge difference on the surface between your scum and village play on day 1, but I try to reconstruct your underlying reasoning to see if it makes sense.

Saying that my vote stands certainly doesn't imply it's locked in for the rest of the day. The move isn't suspicious unless you're saying that I am scum with Gaspar (but you know, if I was scum with Gaspar he'd tell me just to bus the hell out of him from day 1 so he didn't have to keep playing as scum, so why would I move?)
I wasn't so much implying it as stating it outright, wasn't I? No matter what Gaspar wants to claim - in practically every single game that he's been scum, he's been heavily into day 1 distancing. You even agree with this, it seems. And like I say - the circumstances were ideal here for getting in some easy distancing. Our only point of contention seems to be if you would go through with such a bussing regardless of circumstances, even if someone else virtually insisted on taking his place.

Ok, fair enough, you retracted that part. Still, your "setting up a claim" tell wouldn't make much sense either way, considering no-one has any reason to claim anything other than their real character. If you want to get into a pissing contest about who's bothered to read the thread the most carefully, I could also point out that I addressed Lewwyn as Marvin as early as post #18. Looks like nobody even noticed... or they are playing dumb.

It brings me the utmost delight to report that I am! Though I prefer to think of it not so much as a restriction, as an opportunity to contribute with a unique outlook on the world. I am Colin, the security robot, and I like to think that it's my happy thoughts that allow me to fly! In fact, I positively relish the thought, although I know that the real reason is that my pleasure circuits were rewired by Ford Prefect. On the other hand, that ruthless violation of my personal integrity also fills me with joy whenever I stop to contemplate it.
[OOC: I have to say something cheerful or enthusiastic in every post. I suspect Lewwyn has something similar.]
If you know what I mean.
