I think that YiG saw that there was a wagon on me, decided to go along with it because there were people on it despite there not really being much of a reason, and then came up with the reasoning behind it after the fact. I think he started with the conclusion (Rubik has votes on him so he must be scummy [or would be convenient to pretend to believe is scummy]) and then tried to create the evidence after the fact rather than looking at the evidence and arriving at his own conclusion based on it. This is scummy (not bad play, scummy).
Then, when what would have been his case in the first place was no longer true, he still included it as his reason. He voted for me long after I had posted a pretty significant amount of content and his case (that he hadn't made the specifics of public previously, so there wasn't any chance that I was posting content because he was pressuring me to) was no longer relevant. Not to mention the fact that his attack on me was hypocritical because he himself hadn't been posting all that much content himself—I said earlier that it's strange that he would attack someone for not having much content in the first 24 hours of a game in which he himself hadn't provided much content in the first 24 hours
I can see his case on the extension thing, but, if we're talking about the "order of operations", I made comments supporting an extension LONG AFTER he had made the comments about me seeming scummy, so it obviously wasn't part of his original case against me, it was created after the fact to further justify his unsubstantiated case. This isn't my opinion, it's fact.
This means his entire case on my boiled down to "Rubik wasn't posting that much" and this ceased to be true the moment I posted. If he truly believed that being inactive for part of the day was scummy, he wouldn't have provided an excuse for his own inactivity and would have accepted that him doing it was scummy.
I didn't vote Yiga because I felt like he had an interest in lynching me, I voted for Yiga because he promised to make a post providing analysis, offered to commit suicide in a situation where obviously someone would talk him out of doing it (so it would make him seem towny without having to follow through), makes a weak attack on EVAN for doing something that isn't really especially scummy but then tries to buddy up to him by saying it's a new player mistake, and then makes an excuse for not delivering his promised reads. If I were voting for OMGUS reasons, there were 3 or 4 other players voting for me or expressing interest in voting for me that I could have jumped on, but that's not the case. I voted for the player who was active who felt the most scummy to me at the time and they just happened to have expressed interest in voting for me because I had one of the largest wagons (despite it largely being based on, I assume, you and Ryu largely picking a player at random).
I've continued to vote YIGA because the way he's responded to the pressure has also been scummy.

If they can't read a <200 word portion of a post that directly mentions them, they probably can't actually be engaged in a game of mafia.
I'd rather not accept them as a foregone conclusion.
