Let's get to it.
Rubik's response to the attention he's gotten, wrt to his claim, rings out as honest. Especially since LG spoke up to confirm what Rubik had claimed. At this point, I am firmly dropping any sus I have towards Rubik and formally accepting him as confirmed town. Going forward I will treat every idea and word he has as utterly town orientated even if I may disagree with his assessment.
Why?
Because applying that pressure to Rubik has yielded responses worthy of dissecting for intent and reasoning. Rubik has gone out of his way to claim which alleviates any concerns I have regarding him, yet those latching on to the idea of Rubik being scum are now prime targets to sus out. In particular is Chevy with minor sus to be thrown at Ex for coaching him. After that, Caps, with their recent posts, has come onto my radar as potential scum for certain points mentioned by them:
I think my knowledge regarding Naga's role is pushing me against KoD's argument a little bit, or at least pushing me towards Rubik at the moment.
and
Mindmelding a bit with Chev here makes me feel a bit better about them, but I think I'd still like to see more content today out of them.
wrt to the first quote: Given my perspective of Rubik based on his progression thus far into the game, I get the distinct feeling Cap, here, is positioning a defense, as it were, of Rubik implicitly as opposed to directly. After all, should I be horribly wrong about Ruibk, how better to look if you were defending the person that got lynched by an aggressive person?
Side note regarding aggro: I'm sorry if you dislike aggression, but we're playing a game and we talk about lynching all the time. I'm sure the context isn't lost on you. I must admit, it is odd that you'd focus on something as minute as that as opposed to the game content.
wrt to the second quote: Mindmelding with Chevy over my aggression towards Rubik. I
rarely find scum supporting each other directly in games most of the time (it's not impossible and does happen some times). I could see a connection to draw between Caps to Chevy though I am highly skeptical that both Ex and Caps would be scum partners with Chevy and directly connect with him on a topic this early.
For his part, Chevy's 180 over my aggro towards Rubik does stand out like an open wound. That behavior, in particular, has me leaning heavily towards Chevy as being scum. Earlier I mentioned Ex coaching Chevy, and Ex's post asking what Chevy meant about
Can you elaborate on what you mean by underestimating?
as a means of helping to alleviate any more suspicion that may come towards Chevy over his reaction towards me.

For now I shall park my vote there.
@ Caps:
Bold of you to assume that no one that didn't participate in either wagon wasn't scum. Pretty sure that includes you. Is this your way of trying to attack me despite the fact that I could have saved myself, but chose not to? I assume you're only giving a cursory thought assessment to the situation as you'd have a hard time explaining away a town me vs a scum me given that the vote randed (without my vote on Deku).
