Well to be honest xyzzy's text walls are either really town or really scum, but just because I wouldn't be fucked to put that amount of effort into appearing town as scum doesn't make it improbable. I'll go through the ISO because there's some stuff about their tone may be off.
-#268 is HA providing reasons to Dunn for why Keyser might be scum. It seems a little more coordinated than I would expect from two partners...possible, but I lean town.
-The second half of the post is....a little harder to tell. HA is clearly buddying up to Dunn. My first thought rereading this is that HA was trying to drop associatives with Dunn so that if he flipped we would come back and think townDunn was HA's partner. And then it veered immediately into WIFOM territory from there when I realized it could also be HA trying to look too buddy-buddy with his partner for people to ever think they were scumpartners. I'd tend to believe the former (that HA was buddying up to townDunn) over the latter, just based on the different levels of insidiousness and foresight necessarily involved in each scenario.
Robert:
-Says Robert's been inactive and he doesn't have a read on him in #281, but leaves open a door to possibly scumread Robert later. This one could go either way in terms of looking partner-y.
-Suddenly has Robert as a top-two scumread in #392.
-Ah right, and then Jake points out the weirdness about HA's flipflop on Robert, which is that before #392, HA was talking about Robert like he was town and using that to justify another read (on jaack I believe).
-And then in #434 HA talks about mixing up Robert and Zach re: which person he'd asked if they were scum. He says he mixed up games, but bottom line is HA invented reasons to scumread Robert. That suggests HA is not partners with Robert imo. The whole arc looks a lot more like HA being opportunistic scum than it looks like bussing scum.
Bins:
-HA's take in #281 on Bins' #38 is pretty weird. It's like he's saying that regardless of whether Bins looks towny or scummy, she will be scum. Lean not partner on this.
Zachstralkita:
-#265 seems pretty ballsy for a partner-on-partner interaction. I think I'd actually have to give kudos to HA on this one if he's partners with Zach because this just does not seem like a partnery interaction at all.
-HA's reasoning for keeping his vote on Zach in #281 feels forced.
-Yeah he just clearly is trying to come up with reasons to keep his vote on Zach. Feels like HA was treating Zach as a safe haven for his suspicions. Def does not look like partners to me.
Keyser:
-Again, #268 doesn't seem like HA talking about a scum partner to me. A player brings up that they can't justify a scumread on HA's partner and HA volunteers reasoning for why his partner is scum?
-In #394 HA puts Keyser in his top three for scum for a dumb reason. Reminds me a little of how it looked like he was reaching for reasons to scumread Zach actually.
xyzzy:
-Only three mentions of xyzzy in HA's ISO, and two of them are when he's using xyzzy to explain his townread on Dunn.
-The third is in his readslist in #281, and it's an underdeveloped townread on xyzzy.
-This is maybe partner material.
floof:
-And an underdeveloped scumread on floof in that same readslist (#281).
-Literally no other comments on floof throughout the game.
-Also maybe partner material.
Tyler:
-Only real mention of Tyler is in the #281 readslist, and it's a townread...despite the fact that he first points out that he doesn't understand why tyler posted his first post. The townread is for having similar thoughts about the game.
-Also maybe partner material.
Jaack:
-By far the weirdest thing here is HA at first treating Jaack like he's town by looking for scum going after Jaack (#281), then later reversing (#329) and talking about how scum would be more likely to go after Robert's vote (like Jaack did). That's basically the bulk of his interactions with Jaack actually. It seems almost like HA slipped that he wasn't Jaack's partner by first treating Jaack like he was town. Part of that theory has to do with how HA responds to Jake in #422, by repeating what he said in #329 even though it didn't make sense. It's like he was trying to cover up a mistake he'd made, the mistake being that he had forgotten to leave room for the possibility that Jaack was scum.
Jake:
-Gives a somewhat confusing reason for townreading Jake in #281. Other than that, not really a whole lot of any thoughts on Jake. Jake's interactions with HA are far more significant imo.

True, he was pretty lowkey for the beginning of the game.
In post 772, Tyler the Creator wrote:and coming back right around his claim was just a matter of the timing just happening that way
Right, I mean if you're scum that's all you can say and if you're town it's true, so it's not a point that can really be vetted for me.
In post 772, Tyler the Creator wrote:plus realistically the chances of a robert wagon (or anyone else for that matter) going through were slim to none and i'd have probably played it similarly as scum except i probably don't bother voting robert to try and get him to respond to my question because why bother (which he still hasn't done btw)
I tend to discount reasoning like this just because I think people can be swayed a lot when they're in the moment -- ie, it could seem obvious to a player looking back now that the robert wagon wouldn't go through, but for a scum partner maybe at the time it could seem more possible and therefore appealing.

If I were to vote right now I think it'd be for zakk. But atm I feel more inclined to come back to this tomorrow and see if I feel the same way. Either way it'd be worth it to ISO xyzzy, as I'm realizing now that they've kind of flown under my radar.

...What do you think of floof/zakk? Realistically I'm not getting lynched, just think about the current lynch that people are gravitating towards, do you think it's good? ok? or bad?

You're mistaken. You think I was trying to cast doubt on Robert. In truth, maybe I was. He seemed suspicious at the time. However, I've changed my mind. I did criticize you but I had good reasoning to at the time, from my point of view

Can I ask,
besides me
, who do you think the mafia could be?
No I'm not mistaken. You did try to cast doubt on him and no you had absolutely no good reasoning for it.

Ugh I've got to get up early for a half marathon tomorrow. Please people lynch Dunn while I'm sleeping. He's scum I guarantee it and I rarely guarantee anything.
