hohum - While I'm not going to pretend that my swampedposts are helping discussion, at least I've given you that courtesy. hohum... nothing. At all. He's promised to catch up. He hasn't. He's been onsite. He's barely avoiding prods. Etc.
I don't think Amished's "too scummy to be scum" reasoning for letting hohum go is sufficient.
ekiM - I feel that ekiM has been hiding in the background, except when pushing hohum. This then leads me to a dilemma - if hohum is scum, ekiM is very likely not; and I'm suspect that the inverse is true as well. I'm still waiting to hear about this apparent change of heart about hohum.
xRECKONERx - Are you enjoying this game? I'm really enjoying this game.
DDD - I'm still watching him, but nothing to see, etc.
Zachrulez - I'm not entirely sure why he did the following:
*Teamed up with Sotty (household jokes aside) by defending her and joining her votes
*Unvoted Jahudo based on what Jack did
*Not commented on hohum for quite the long while when he voted Cobalt for essentially what he's doing now
I don't have an overall read on him beyond the Townish idea I got from the very beginning of the game.
Jack - I'm having a difficult time seeing Jack-scum at this point, particularly via association with ortolan.
Sotty7 - Sotty has been a cipher, wrapped in an enigma, smothered in secret sauce. ...okay, maybe not that much. But I still don't see what she did in L. Lamora first thing, or why she said my "Percy case had bite" (#7) when she spent a paragraph cutting it down. Other random things are like "what is your obsession with DDD's vote" when flinter mentioned it once; how she specifically said she would read hohum+Percy+ortolan twice, nominally mentioned ortolan each time, but focused on Percy. She wins points for continuing to push Jack a little in spite of the wind no longer blowing that way, but I'm still not really convinced. Outside the Locke Lamora vote earlier Today, most of what she's said Today seems like small talk.
Amished - I really don't have a reason to suspect Amished, and considering that he kept on digging through the game while there was a threat to lynch him I'd say he's working with Town motivation. In addition, I don't think that L. Lamora was that scummy, despite Sotty's protests to the contrary and him winding up on the wrong side of the ortolan wagon.
Jahudo - Jahudo has managed to suspect everyone in this game except hohum, Zach, and until recently Sotty7. I don't agree with the majority of his suspicions, for that matter. On paper I think he would make a passable scumpartner for ortolan; however, I think he's putting in a bit too much effort for scum in his situation.
Percy - Percy's first few posts are twitchvote-worthy for reasons I threw out a long time ago. Percy exaggerating and tunneling isn't really anything new; while I haven't seen Percy as scum that sort of thing isn't outside his Town meta. I
am
bothered by how it took Percy a few posts to get into character, though. Overall I'd place him Townside though.
Vi - Needs to post in reporter flavor more.
---
I think that one of the hot points of contention ITT is how scum would likely act against their partners - would they chainsaw for them, ignore them, or actively bus them? I would say {chainsaw -> bus -> ignore} going from least to greatest probability based on the current meta.
Open question. How likely is it that Cobalt was bussed by both scumpartners, given the circumstances?
Vi - 357
DDD - 415
Cobalt replaces ortolan - 468
Jack - 475
Jahudo - 497
Sotty7 - 512
xRx - 520
Zach - 531
hohum - flaked(?), not voting
Percy - longtime hohum voter (201)
ekiM - somewhat more recent hohum voter (365)
Locke Lamora - recent Jack voter (437)
