Anyway, as I recall what you had done was point out players who might have possible power roles for various reasons. Which I said drew attention to this fact and meant if you were correct those people became targets for scum and we could lose power roles.
Here yogs has already stated he has a role, and the parameters that role falls within. Scum are hardly going to miss that fact (as they might miss a breadcrumb or soft claim) so I don't see that elaborating on it as Bookwyrm has does any real harm.
If I remember correctly, the three players you named as having possible power roles were the night kills the next three nights (or two of them were). Whether that was a coincidence or scum thought you might have been on to something I don't know, but there are certain things that drawing attention to too soon can be bad for town. Yogs claim and the details of it I don't think are such a thing as yogs has brought attention to it himself.

Anyway, my point is that you seem a bit too eager to accept Bookwyrm627's play, while in that game, as town, you couldn't stress enough how bad and scummy I was acting. Which begs the obvious question...
I certainly don't expect scum to be stupid, but I also don't think we should hand them info on a plate.
[...].
Let me put it another way. Say when this game started, we had to be done with RVS after two days max, and the player required to get us out of it was you. How would you have gone about it?
But have made your peace with it? ;-P
I don't recall ever making this assertion.
I don't expect people to follow in my votes even if I do give my reason. I have tried in games past, but nobody seems to see things my way. So, I now leave clues to my reasons to see how people react, and to see if people other than myself arrive to similar conclusions. It is fair more informative for me than being direct.

As for leaving clues - would you say that in order to evaluate any reaction(s), the clues need to make some sense to others?
As for voted for bler144:
The dollhouse my grandfather made for my sister had a white picket fence. It was flimsy, because it was just a 'play-fence', so it didn't hold up well. It was more of a vehicle for imagination and fantasy, and couldn't bear any weight of significance.
Bler144's post had similar qualities. It said nothing, but also had a bit of fence-sitting on this nothing. Scum often tend to fall into the mindset of trying to look productive while saying nothing of value. This struck me as one of those times. None of what Bler144 has said since has dissuaded me from this perception, so my vote, weak as it was at the start, has stayed put.
Firstly, did you really expect people to read all this in your dollhouse comment, and then project it on bler144's posting?
And secondly, till your vote (post #28), bler144 had made all of four posts (#12, #21, #24 and #27) - which of these four posts (you speak of a single post) made you read all this stuff about fence-sitting and pretending to be productive? Going over the first 27 posts, I really don't see what you'd have expected him to post, or why "this struck you as one of those times".
Must have been all that frantic dancing.
