@Sky:
That's why I said that game was an anomaly.
I'm caught up through the pages. SMS comes off more as someone who is probably a clone of Spider-Man (or the real Spider-Man) as opposed to any sort of scum. That's the impression I got with him chiming in on the publicly searching for Spider-Man bit.
As far as Rag goes, there's no longer any point in me talking to Rag as Rag is determined to go with what she thinks is true. The only thing of importance to note here is that Rag is taking it upon herself to assume how I, as scum, would act from moment to moment in the situation. Rag has no way of proving/showing that I'm lying or attributing scum-like behavior to me more so than town-like behavior. Ultimately, Rag is pushing a case to push a case with nothing else.
If that isn't obvious, you can view Rag's adaptation of defenses of me as an indication of her willingness to just push the case without regard to considering she may be wrong.
If that's a bit hard to follow, then, essentially it boils down to whether or not you believe I am lying about why I unvoted each time and explaining why I chose not to out that info. For Rag's purposes, she believes my **intent** was to hide the bonus votes, thus my explanation was lying. It follows, then, that Rag has to believe I was not aware of how Zinger handled hit vote counts, and that I didn't read the rules. Otherwise the motivation for scum me trying to hide something that wouldn't be hidden becomes murky. Further, and drawing from Ex on this one as he is one of several people to give the situation some thought, constantly unvoting as opposed to just unvoting once certainly doesn't align with an intent of trying to hide (but it is a matter of interpretation as this point). Especially since, as pointed out, Zinger doesn't do vote counts on demand.
Suffice it to say, Rag's approach is not only off-putting, it does come off as scummy to me in forcing the scenario she exults as the truth without regard to the nuances of the situation. That's where I stand on the matter.
With regard to Funnier:
My hot take is less hot. I have to wonder if whoever silenced funnier did it because of the early talk about voting funnier just because.
