Crab:
"1. Of course my breadcrumb was first posted D3, I don't want to breadcrumb AT ALL unless I have to in case scum catches it."
The timing of your D3 breadcrumb coincides perfectly with scum Hyperactivity's discovery that Gorlak was Umbridge during N2. That gave you and scum ample time to fabricate your fake Filch-Umbridge connection, complete with lore-backing. If you wanted a credible, non-suspect breadcrumb that you were Filch, that should've been on D1 or D2.
Crab:
"2. Why would I link my role to Gorlak. Does it give me extra credibility? No. If anything, it makes me more suspicious because he is neutral. Scum don't need to wait for knowledge of Gorlak to come up with a fakeclaim because they have no reason to tie a fakeclaim to him."
In a lore-friendly context, your claimed Lover Role association with Gorlak fits in with Filch's appreciation of Umbridge's strict disciplinary methods. From a lore-angle, it does add an extra layer of credibility to your fake Role-claim, so it makes sense that scum would attach your/Filch's life to Gorlak.
In a game-context, since you've claimed that you die if Gorlak/Umbridge dies, you've effectively created for yourself a human shield in a Neutral player. Like you're doing right now, by pushing for us to vote out Gorlak instead of you to prove YOUR fake claim that your apparently his Lover, you're influencing Town to waste today's lynching on a Neutral. Scum doesn't truly lose anything by throwing a Neutral under the bus, and you get one more Day as scum to do whatever dirty work you can before the policy lynch the next Day, after everyone's seen you survived.
We shouldn't be focused on proving Crab's point in the Lover link, that we should lynch Gorlak because Crab says so. Not only is that objectively super anti-Town, by advocating to lynch your own Lover, regardless of alignment, so the player count decreases by 2 if he's telling the truth; it's also counter-intuitive, especially when there is A. an eye-witness account through Rynam of his murdering Swamped on N1, and no other evidence to say that Crab wasn't responsible despite it being 4 Days later, and B. multiple points of circumstantial evidence in the form of your fake Role-claim being deployed on D3 only AFTER the fact that Hyperactivity, and thus by extension the Death Eaters, knew that Gorlak was Umbridge on N2, and so were perfectly poised to tailor that information into your fake Argus Filch claim.
Crab:
"3. My role does not mention Horcruxes and you can note when I revealed I didn't even think it had anything to do with Horcruxes - I thought it was investigative. Of course what I say then changes in response to what you say - I didn't know about Horcruxes before."
It's understandable that you didn't know about Horcruxes before, because it is a fact that only I, Harry, Ron and Hermione knew of their existence.
However, that does not refute the fact that you and scum had ample time after I had revealed their existence at the dawn of D3, to fold that information into your fake Role-claim. Which you did, in a few posts that came quite soon after your claim. The timing of your posts is what I believe damns you.
I believe that you deliberately trickle-fed us that "epiphany", so as to make the claim of "Dark Magic" detector sound more credible via a slower delivery to pretend you're associating and working it all out. All of that info was known to you and scum before you dropped that claim post, and knew exactly how to tactfully deploy it.
Crab:
"4. My role did find something. I'm just choosing not to reveal it."
Why not?
? m?ght n?t b? b?ck ?n t?m? f?r th? ?nd ?f th? d?y ?s ? h?v? t? g? n?w, s? th?t ?s my f?n?l d?f?ns?, t?k? ?t ?r l??v? ?t. Th? s?cr?t: ? f??nd ? H?rcr?x.
fake edit: So you say you've found a Horcrux. That means you must have lied about your Nightly "investigation" results to us. Why?
Even if you've genuinely found a Horcrux; Hyperactivity, scum Bellatrix, carried a Horcrux himself, the Hufflepuff Cup. I know for a fact that the scum team did not have knowledge of the Horcruxes before I revealed their existence. If he didn't know what he was carrying, if he thought it was only some kind of mysterious artifact, then he/scum probably figured it out after my intel reveal. So, I'm assuming that you have the same kind of knowledge.
Are you willing to throw one of your own scum teammates under the bus, or are you going to offer up a Town member as a sacrifice for the greater good, saying that we must lynch them to destroy the Horcrux they're carrying? Or are you going to attempt to oh-so conveniently say that Gorlak is carrying a Horcrux, to back up your own push for his lynch and paint yourself as a selfless hero by "going down with the shipping", which you won't, because your entire Role-claim is a fraud?
Knowledge of a Horcrux or not, that information does not exonerate you in the slightest. It does not refute any of the other pieces of evidence I hold against you, and does not verify your Filch "Dark Magic detector" Role-claim in the least; that knowledge of a Horcrux that you claim to possess could come from any one of your scum teammates and their unknown powers, or is likely an attempt by you to throw someone under the bus Today by claiming your furthering the SECONDARY Win condition when you're really not, and thus give yourself one more Night to do Bad things to Good people.

"5. We also have the unexplained situation of TheGoddamn (CONFIRMED TOWN) being the only person to visit Burbeting the night he died. It should be obvious there is a ninja by now."

TheGoddamn swapped me and Burbeting on N2. He protected me after I had outed kingkitty as "V". I was supposed to die on N2, and Burbeting's death can be attributed to having unwillingly taken the bullet for me that Night.
I don't believe in your Ninja NK'er.

"It is the last day, we have 4 hours to go, and out of nowhere I have picked up 3 votes in less than 30 minutes, despite not being discussed much today. That is a scumwagon if I ever saw one."
I concur that there could be scum voting for you as a means to make themselves appear more Town, a tactic I'm sure you're familiar with.
