sure I guess. Do u think klick is town? Also, I didn't think you were scum reading SCP or CSFOf all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Nero do you think Dunn is town? If so why.ScumBlade's eloquent performance left me utterly disoriented, debased, depraved and sent me spiraling into a horrific murky abyss with emotional turmoil and immense despair as my only companions until slowly I suffocate in my own gloom, surrounded by failure.

I am not, but I wanted your Klick wagon to start to see who would FoS Klick as a way to get reads. Wolves would want Klick dead as they're part of a masonry. Every masonry member dead is a confirmed improvement for the wolves. While a wolf might be a mason, that's a kill mafia have to make versus one they can elect to take.In post 8203, Nero Cain wrote:sure I guess. Do u think klick is town?

It's not as obvious as leaving FL alive, but for us there's strategic benefit to leaving Klick alive.
Math's relationship with Klick is all sorts of weird.
In 10-30 minutes, I intend to do a proper VCA with what we know.

That’s 7. Give Titus a chance to do her VCA then probably cool to end the day.ScumBlade's eloquent performance left me utterly disoriented, debased, depraved and sent me spiraling into a horrific murky abyss with emotional turmoil and immense despair as my only companions until slowly I suffocate in my own gloom, surrounded by failure.

Alright, let's lay out the standards first. It's unlikely that wolves and mafia will bus heavily. This factors into the analysis. Most of this analysis will center, by votes alone, who cannot be wolves or mafia. Then, we'll add known knowledge. Butterchurn did not know any of the other scum, so his votes are suggestive of who is town but not solid evidence of such. A malefactor is a rare occurrence so this analysis, when I get there, can be taken with a grain of salt.
This VCA does miss a prior wagon of significance on bnuuy that occurred day 1 due to the game speed. I'm too lazy to get that out right now.
I'm going to treat this as two VCAs. One for wolves and one for mafia. Each will get their own post. There also will be a post with spoiled votecounts.-

Technically correct but misleading and not posting is Dunn scum.In post 7224, Nashville Dreams wrote:
This is technically correct but misleading. Most people likely explained why they were scumreading MalcolmTucker in the thread already. We've had long scenarios where perfect was the enemy of good as well, so we were willing to compromise. Furthermore, scum likely wanted to be on a fast moving wagon because they likely wanted to be seen voting their partner. This explains butterchurn shifting and setting up to vote his "townread". If that's the scum voting MalcolmTucker, I'm ok with that.In post 7222, Dunnstral wrote:And by most of the wagon, I mean, literally 10 out of 11 people voting right now have no explanation for their vote
And the 1 explanation given was that the 8 people voting flavor leaf weren't all town. Wow.

Their win conditions are not compatible to allow a joint win, and there is no such thing in this game as a draw between only certain factions. There is also a single third party role called the malefactor. Its win condition is "You win when the town loses." This player is not informed of any antitown players' identities, nor vice versa.-

For this and all VCAs, I refer to players by their current slot holder because I'm look at the data like that. If there's a question regarding replacement times and identities, feel free to ask but this VCA is intended to be in the absence of context. I can't divorce context completely though.
Day One VCA -Wolves
The first handful of VCs don't tell us much about Wolves. Nero Cain and Sword of Ducks pick up some points for not being wolves due to their early presence on the catboi wagon while MonkeyMan aka Math's slot had steam (barring the scenario where they are both wolves.)
In 1.7, Nero is promoted as a counterwagon to catboi briefly. catboi is on the wagon, so I'm not sure if wolves would overload but that suggests that Nero Cain is not a wolf.
1.12, I would expect, based on the votes at this point, a wolf within StD and CSF. However, that's impossible given StD is a monk and CSF is currently a "wolf innocent child" (for lack of a better phrase).
1.14, Dunn is a great wolf candidate.
Later, the bnuuy wagon is weird. Mastina starts a counterwagon when there's no need to do so. It dissolves my wagon and serves as a counter to catboi. This one the wolves likely jumped more on with Klick Melanque and cassoway all being possible wolf suspects. It does suggest if the wolf suspect(s) are correct that I served a use to the wolves or they were inactive during the time my wagon was actually a viable push/game stalled.
1.20 suggest bnuuy town due to catboi and butterchurn on towards the end when they had no interest in ending the day before.
1.21 suggests the same for tictac. Butterchurn has extra incentive to vote there given tictac is a claimed mason.
Overall: We have the following slots, divorced from context, that I feel relatively confident saying are not wolves: Nero Cain, bnuuy, tictac, Sword of Ducks
Butterchurn's votes today are largely excluded. I pressured Butter repeatedly on his votes day 1 and they were transparently trying to save catboi. It's a safe bet that they were pretty confident on catboi being scum and willing to vote anyone else. This matches with his hostility towards me the moment I wanted to vote catboi.
Day One VCA -Mafia
The Wolf VCA is incorporated by reference.
Mathblade's slot would be interesting to flip for knowledge on the slot. The wagon in 1.3 looks relatively pure. From 1.3 to 1.6 all living monks jumped onto counterwagons to Mathblade and fast. Mathblade's slot also jumped onto MalcolmTucker, the first counterwagon available and it flipped green.
SCP gets a weak clear for 1.15-1.18 as they quickly voted Enchant but then they bailed on it to vote with mastina on bnuuy. If SCP is mafia, then we can conclude at least a) I was an asset to mafia and/or b) bnuuy was a threat.
Regardless, mastina's awakening and push on bnuuy suggests bnuuy is not mafia. Given the VCA suggests bnuuy is not a wolf and not a mafia, they are likely town.
TLDR
Nero- Not Wolf
SoD - Not Wolf
tictac - Not Wolf
Dunn - Good Wolf Candidate
bunny - Town by excluding wolf and mafia
SCP - Weak not mafia lean
Klick, cassoway, Melanque - Weak Wolf Suspicions-

Day 2 -Wolves
With no wolves flipped, it's too many assumptions to gather at this time.
Day 2 -Mafia
mastina's vote on Flavor Leaf makes it less likely that Flavor is scum, unless the voting was staged.
If anyone has any doubt about me being mafia, Enchant's sole pre-end of day voting is on me along with Butterchurn.
Day 2 - General Hunting
2.2 - I still feel Meg has a strong chance of flipping scum, but I now realize that's not the best strategic play. The wagon, aside from Math's slot, is pretty pure there too.
Flavor Leaf, CSF and Dunnstral are good flips, based on VCA alone. I still think Flavor is town and a horrible flip mechanically. CSF, for today, is also a horrible flip.
CSF also having a not wolf clear on day 3 is a bit odd given that they were just run up.
Dunnstral needs to flip to explain the EoD here.
TDLR
Day 2 is juicy for the future. It only realistically clears me of being mafia for now, but with so many high level wagons that stalled, there's a lot of room here.-
