Poj and Xtoxm are the final 2 scum based on Ythill's posts:
Xtoxm first:
Ythill wrote:I will second the
FoS Xtoxm
for lurker hunting too early.
@ rofl: Why attack Xtoxm for this but not attack Rice?
First off, as I've said earlier, a FoS is absolutely useless in terms of discussion. If you post your opinion, people will get the idea of who you find suspicious. An FoS is just a "safe" way of voting, and in this instance, it seems very likely that Ythill is distancing himself from Xtoxm while not actually putting him in a situation of danger.
In addition, Ythill's FoS is a claim of suspicion towards Xtoxm, but in the same post he immediately asks rofl why he attacked Xtoxm. It makes no sense.
Ythill wrote:I like rofl's double-barbed attack at Xtoxm: challenging him to back up the lurker-hunt strategy with meta shortly after X claimed a meta-heavy early game style. I don't know that this is a town-tell on rofl, but I like his argument style. If he is scum, he'll be dangerous.
Here it seems like Ythill is encouraging an attack on Xtoxm, but that's really not what's going on. Again, Ythill seems to agree that Xtoxm is suspicious, but he still fails to vote. On top of this, he paints rofl as dangerous, making any of rofl's future arguments look suspicious by nature. It's a pseudo-defense of Xtoxm.

FoS poj
for rushing the day. We have very little decent information.
Poj enters the spotlight with a scummy post and Ythill immediately jumps in AGAIN with the FoS nonsense. In a game where we talk with our votes, why is Ythill so non-committal to these two players?
After the FoS, Poj piles up the votes and Ythill comes up with this gem:
Ythill wrote:Poj is @ L-2 already, so lets be careful.
Rofl is awfully antagonistic, which seems counterproductive if he's scum. Does anybody have a good meta read on him?
In Mini 539, Xtoxm was town. He didn't pressure lurkers early, but he did help hang a lurker at the end of D1. That lurker was the doc and the game was recent. I'd like to think he would have learned his lesson.
3 things of note here.
-Ythill finds Poj to be scummy, yet is afraid of him being lynched. Why is that? In addition to this, Poj was only at L-3 at that point in time, which Ythill later corrected. To me, this sounds like he was having anxiety about the potential lynch of Poj (again, despite Ythill finding Poj scummy).
-Ythill again undermines Rofl, who has gone after both Xtoxm and Poj thus far in the game.
-Ythill pushes the idea that Xtoxm is scum, despite the earlier and future FoS he would apply.

C'mon people... post.
Another pseudo-defense by Ythill, this time for Poj.

If MrB turns up town, I'll wholeheartedly support my own lynch
As for Poj himself, why is a townie so apathetic here? In my few games of experience, I've only ever seen scum use phrases like these. It's a pity defense and it's absolutely useless to help the town.
Finally, the only interaction Xtoxm and Poj have had was these posts:
Two in the joke phase
Xtoxm wrote:vote poj
Cos I don't like cats with guns...

You're just jealous because my cat with a gun could take your albino with a katana to the cleaners any day of the week.
Ohhh, you've crossed
the line
.
You're going down.
Apart from that, not a chance in hell.
And an agreement with Poj about who the town should lynch:
Xtoxm wrote:Poj you pretty much brought up what I was going to say. I mentioned this yesterday and Ythill still didn't expand on it much, I suggested a SF-Ythill pairing, and the fact that Ythill has come up scum increases my suspicions of him.
Xtoxm said absolutely nothing about Poj's lynchwagon.
Poj didn't even acknowledge the Xtoxm suspicions on Day 2.
Odd, huh?
vote Xtoxm
Poj is next.
When in doubt, tell the truth.
