    Right, so this is where I'm at after hearing from GH and Ishmael.

    GH and Khaan don't like my playstyle. They think it's unhealthy for the metagame. They think I haven't been risky enough. They think my logic is bad. This is all well and good, valid complaints I suppose, but none of it makes me scum. Assuming they're both town, they voted for me as a statement of dissatisfaction toward everyone who made arguments against them, not because they genuinely think I'm scum. That much is clear based on how often GH has criticized my content as too safe, too obviously townie (never mind that Khaan still has a vote on me-- if I'm so obviously town, what good would it be to lynch me?)

    Frankly, I couldn't care less about the metagame, and I don't care that you think my playstyle has damaged it. I was never exactly a mafia legend. I played this game because I like arguing with people, not because I wanted to create prevailing wisdom of orthodox and heterodox strategies. I can accept sacrificing myself for the town-- I'd rather die than distract and deflect as a townie. But sacrificing myself for the metagame? Not a chance.

    I like Ishmael's argument. It says things that I had thought but couldn't quite express. Yes, yes, there's still the question of his ignorance of JHT, but I had more or less the same reaction when he refused to argue against my vote on him. Am I sure of this? Nope. Am I taking the easy way out? Maybe. But this is where I've landed after a lot of thought.

    Unvote, vote:Khaan.

    My apologies if this vote irreparably damages the prevailing wisdom of the game. I'm playing how I know to play, and that's all I can do.
