That's not rebuttal it is an excuse, you could have posted RBIRL, of course you might not know what the term means, it hasn't been in use quite as long as "bussing" and I'm not if you ever asked and were told what it means.

No one knows why as we have no evidence as to why, all of us could speculate wildly about it, he may simply have wanted a classic 12 player game, there are a virtually unlimited number of scenarios which fit it, I could fill pages with them and none would have anything to back them up, hence why I haven't speculated and why I think most haven't, beyond what many of us have said which is that we don't know what is going on. You either know something and are now lying about it or were speculating totally at random to know conceivable gain for the town. You could have simply stopped at saying "12 seemed important, we might want to consider why?", now apparently some others hadn't already noticed that, I assumed most of us caught that before the game began, so I may have been overly harsh by assuming everything you said was totally pointless but your reactions after that have increasingly led me to believe you're lying.

Uncharacteristically aggressive? The overwhelming majority of Day 1 lynches has been initiated and prosecuted by either myself or FT, I suspect if you added them up we'd each have more than every other player, present or past, combined. How could I even be uncharacteristically aggressive, I have in the past actually threatened to kill players if they did not vote with me, and done it too. I'm pretty sure in order to be uncharacteristically aggressive I'd have to do as Danny suggested earlier and actually show up at a players house with baseball bat in hand.

Problem here, I seized on it, but not to accuse you, I considered you're remarks to be strongly indicative of more info and asked for it, if my tone was abrupt it was related to us spinning our wheels trying to find information only to find out a player who hadn't been posting seemed to have what we needed. That's not accusation, that's inquiry.

Best Defense? No one was even accusing me except Danny and he's been accused by others for his accusation. What could I possibly have needed to defend myself from?

Well that's a lie, you've outright said you've got the special ability to read my motives and alignment, but in terms of game knowledge, I disagree. I think you intentionally were trying to call game options into play. The alternative, that you claim is true, is hardly more flattering, after being threatened with death for non-participation to avoid it you spewed out several random unsupported theories that served zero purpose but to distract us.

Twice? It was 7 when you wrote this and 6 when rana said 'several', 4 directly asking and two by voting with us. Ranagrande said "Several people have called for a roleclaim from beet", and he was right. Every vote on you, (4 - me, FT, Yuna, Fox ), backs a request for a roleclaim, then there's Rana, 5, and Hobo, 6, and Artsapat, 7.

That leaves Praz, ST (silent), Danny (RBIRL) and Taiga. 7 of 11 have either voted for your, demanded an RC, or both. We may safely assume the people voting for you want an RC too. That leaves 4 players, and we can drop the 2 who are both quiet and new, leaving PRaz and Taiga, neither of whom have defended you, 7-0 demanding an RC.

I'm pretty sure I learned what the term "Internet" meant more than 4 years ago, but its constant reinforcement makes that timeline irrelevant. The word "Bussing" has been used 98 times and "bussed" 53 times since we came to RAFO, you presumably after being told what it meant might have forgotten. But bringing up the 4 year ago incident proves you inquired and were told by an unimpeachable source you'd have read, that's hwy that matters, you keep trying to wave it away but it establishes you knew, now you're claiming to have forgotten but to do that you'd have had to misundertand it being referenced 150 times since then, not even including simple uses of "Bus" which appears 100 more times. We've had about 20 games since then averaging around 4 days a game, meaning the term gets used about 3 times per game Day. You are claiming that in spite having it clearly and explicitly explained to you by the mod after you asked what it meant you not only forgot (improbable) but did so even with it coming up on average multiple times per game day.

Well, there is something laughable about the situation but I don't think it relates to my arguments.

Of course I have an agenda, I should imagine everyone here does but me? Seriously? Hell, next you can defend yourself by claiming that water is wet.

This isn't either-or? You're the one who reacted to my - admittedly strongly worded - request for you to reveal any knowledge you had with accusations. You could have simply said, "Sorry if I implied special knowledge, I was thinking out loud. I just wanted to make sure everyone knew I was paying attention" and I would have glared at you with some suspicion, then shrugged and moved to other avenues.

4 votes plus 3 other players demanding an RC doesn't strike me as 'bits and pieces'
