Ok, next step to finding scum is to ISO everyone in the game and try to mark down some thoughts about them, see who jumps out at me. Normal disclaimer, all this stuff may change since the game just started, blah blah blah.
Town-ish
Îdher-Hydra seems to have pro-town motives. Lines like this:
SpyreX, just because parabollocks called you a faggot doesn't make him scum.
Just feel town-ish to me.
Ethos-already explained this
Hiraki- already explained this
Knight of Cydonia-Gut, mostly. Most of his play so far makes sense
Chair: No real problem with their play so far. Suspect list in ISO post #6 looks reasonable, and the description of the thoughts of both hydra heads makes sense to me. Willingness to unvote to hear from para’s replacement seems town-ish.
Null:
Oversoul: No problems with his play so far. Want to hear more from him. His ISO post #6 makes some sense to me.
Ythan: Really don’t know what to think about him right now. He seemed pro-town earlier in the game, but I really don’t at all get his long war with Ethos. Also don’t get the self proclaimed mason fishing. Ythan’s really made a lot of strange plays this game.
kanyeknowsbest - ? I have no read at all on this guy yet.
.
SpyreX-some of his play makes sense, but there’s some weirdness. Spyrex, can you explain why you voted for Ethos?
T-Bone: Has done very little scumhunting Has really not said much yet. I keep forgetting this game is only 3 days long so far, considering all the pages I just had to read, but I’d like to hear more from this guy about who he finds suspicious.
Lurker or V/LA or just hasn’t said enough
The Mask: getting replaced out. Did nothing while he was here. One of the scummier lurkers.
Dramonic: Hasn’t really done anything. Is currently V/LA at goofbash
Untrod Tripod: Has really only made 1 content post so far this game, where he calls
Ythan town and calls Ethos scum. Don’t get a bad vibe from that post, but we need to hear more from this guy.
kunkstar7: Need to hear more from this guy. Is currently voting Mask, but hasn’t commented on most of the stuff going on this game.
Suspicious:
Quilford:
This feels like a false dilemma. (For the newer players here, a "false dillema" is when a person says "either person A is scum, or person B is scum" when there's no reason for that assumption. It's a common scum tactic, since if scum like to keep two townies at each other's throats, and since if the town buys it, they first mislynch one and then when that guy flips town they to mislynch the other one the "one or the other has to be scum" theory.)
Quilford wrote:
I would be surprised if neither Ythan nor Ethos were scum at this point
And the justification for it makes no sense:

They're doing an excellent job at eliciting emotional responses from each other and I see no reason for town players to do that
You don’t see two town players arguing in an emotional way and really going at each other? That happens in pretty much every mafia game I have ever seen, ever.
Swag: Has done noting all game except this vote for Para:
Swag wrote: Para, you've made a lot of unbiased posts, and not very smart moves. You're trying to cover yourself up too hard. Obvious scum is obvious. VOTE: Parabollocks
Para did have a lot of “not very smart moves”, but what, exactally, makes you think that he’s scum rather then just an idiot? What does “a lot of unbiased posts” even mean? What makes his play “obvscum”?
I dislike that Swag has done no scumhunting all game, and then jumps on a bad lynchbait wagon while giving really bad reasons.
I'm going to
Vote:Quilford
. Both Quilford and Swag look suspicious, and I'd be willing to vote either one of them at the moment.
I want us to win just for Yos' inevitable rant alone. -CrashTextDummie
