Well, then, here you go:

If Csareo is town, BBT is town: TTH OR Doogal, Ruffling OR massive (OR maaaybe Omph -- I'm not digging his complete absence), and I feel like I should say Anatole OR Jagged, but I like their posting so it hurts me to say that
My "or" pairings in the town/town scenario do not necessarily exclude the other party, I just paired the players from each wagon who strike me as most suspicious in a town/town scenario based off of game memory of everyone's play.
The quoted vote count is basically what this game looked like for a disgusting length of time. If you are in fact town, then the two leading, deadlocked wagons -- which basically defined this game up until Omph was replaced by FG -- were town versus town. There is a VCA, minus a L-1 and hammer vote, to help you along your analysis.

Speaking of VCA, and based solely on VCA theory, I'm inclined to believe that one of players not voting Csareo or BBT in the quoted VC is scum (Anatole or Jagged). Their lack of a position on the two leading wagons, one being definitely town and one probably town, gives them cred for not being on a mislynch, and for rising above a game bitterly divided on which townie to kill. Also, jumping onto one of the wagons would have brought some seriously harsh attention upon themselves, so they were very much stuck in being prevented from voting either Csareo or BBT.
Stepping away from VCA theory, I think Jagged's play looks town, and his slot looks town because of his predecessor GreyICE's particular actions. I set forth my reasons for this position in
Post 1935 and
Post 1946, and I stand by them. I don't think a Jagged lynch is a good lynch.
In contrast, I did not care much for Anatole's ISO. I will note that I was quite comfortable with his posting as I was experiencing it live. But on reread, it looks a lot less town:
- Lots of posts, but they didn't actually contribute much. / Minimal scum hunting while maintaining an active presence.
- Used GreyICE's single poorly researched vote as his go-to suspicion as thousands (literally) of posts accumulated in the game.
- But Anatole appeared to agree, before GreyICE decided to escape the game, that GreyICE's bad vote looked actually like mistaken town -- and it was only when GreyICE had clearly retreated from the game that Anatole used the bad vote to his full advantage to label the slot as scum.
I was going to wait until Anatole's response to my
Post 2325 to vote him, but that was because I wasn't going to talk through the problems I had with his play upon the ISO reread until then. But because I have set forth those reasons above, and because I have no additional reason to wait, I'll
VOTE: Anatole.

I find it hilarious that you're upset about me answering a question hoenstly, yet you have no problem with the person asking me that very question.
