Not sure what to think about the votes against me...

My other ping would be pouter pidgeon for being first to break majiffy chain.
Kennigit said:
The conflicting thought (e.g. why I am voting pouter pigeon) is he really came in there to seem "wise" about being able to read townieness. Spaceman and Pouter Pigeon seemed to try to be very cautious about it. I already criticized spaceman in day phase 1.
Jarrema could be doing the same thing, but he was more committed in his statement. To the effect of "[I believe] majiffy is town". I generally think scum avoid absolutes early on. It shows you could have some knowledge. Scum have to hide any potential of Perfect Information Syndrome. Jarrema drew in a hard line. Spaceman and pouter pigeon "softballed" in some friction to the wheels of the majiffy wagon.
For example, I went back and reread to try to see what you were talking about with the caution thing and I think I must be misunderstanding your point here, because if you look at the posts, Jarrema and I used almost the exact same language:
I dont think Majiffy is scum. I do think his behavior is not nice, but that is not a reason to vote for him (not in-game one).
I don't think you're scum, so I'm not going to vote for you, but I do think you're going to hurt the town unless your behaviour changes, so I don't mind if other people do.
The only difference is that Jarrema did not believe voting for someone based on unkind behaviour was valid and I did (on the grounds that Majiffy's behaviour was disruptive and making it harder to get good reads)
Really all there is to it is that if I don't think a wagon is likely to catch a wolf I'm not going to join it. Majiffy's wagon couldn't even be sold as a pressure wagon, since he was already posting plenty and even genuinely (at least I think so) trying to help town under all of the rudeness. IMO, voting for someone I can't read is always better than voting for someone I read as town, regardless of whether or not they're actually being helpful. If other people wanted to vote Majiffy just to get him out of the game though, I wasn't going to fight them on it, since he
was making things unpleasant.
As for this:
Well, Pouter Pigeon, in his only posts today, inserted his own random thoughts in the middle of an otherwise targeted discussion. He also did not address the claim against him by Kennigit. Though it might be ignorable in other circumstances, when combined with the off topic bits and a vote for Kennigit that was barely justified I question his innocence.
Classes are just starting so I can't always follow the game and immediately respond to things. I'll post what I can when I can post it, but that's all I'm going to promise. As for the section I bolded, what's wrong with posting my own thoughts even if they don't happen to correspond with the rest of the thread? That doesn't mean my suspicions aren't relevant to the game. Chalk this down as another post discouraging town discourse.
I still can't figure out why I'm reading Cuthillis as wolfy, but it hasn't gone away, and I think I'm going to add
Choxorn to my suspect list, but I need to read more of his posts to be certain.
For now my vote is going to stay on Kennigit, because in my last game we caught the alpha by pressuring someone who seemed vaguely suspicious until they obliged us and made a long involved post to prove they were being helpful, but was actually somewhat misleading, and I think we might be seeing a similar case with Kennigit.
What are you on about?
