Wasn't supposed to get called into work today at all - got called in anyway.
But I hate it when people stall with that type of junk, so here's at least a start.
I think its noteworthy that HA kind of grouped Keyser and tool together in
281, along with floof as a possible scum group. My initial thought is that HA wouldn't limit his mislynch options to just floof, although HA also calls bins and zach scum in the same post, so it wasn't overly limiting.
Only other noteworthy thing regarding what HA said about tool is that he disagreed with him about something Keyser related. Didn't strike me much as scum distancing, particularly since we've seen HA scum-distance/bus Keyser.
Seeing as HA bussed Keyser hard from the start and only described tool as scum in passing, my feeling is that tool doesn't make a whole lot of sense as scum there.
As for Keyser, he and tool talked some about theory and what not, but Keyser's contribution was not super substantial, particularly in how it (did not really) related to this game. He's exceedingly polite with tool (
294 and
313), which contrasts with his takedowns of HA (and ira).
Keyser does mention tool in D2 (I forgot that Keyser had said anything content-y at all D2). The most noteworthy thing here comes in
976 where he lists "mild suspicion" of tool based on his interactions with HA. Well that's not really noteworthy in of itself, but it is noteworthy that Keyser does not discuss any of xyzzy, tyler, or myself (aka, the other people who are at this point, unconfirmed). In general it seems that Keyser was someone willing to bus and while bussing may seem more unlikely with only two scum compared to three, tool was on a list of 5 people, meaning Keyser could have maintained a slight scumread on tool for quite a while without ever having to push that lynch.
Creature slight townreads tool in the same breath as slightly townreading Tyler (
1868), and that's basically it. Any assumption I could make about creature's motivation regarding tool would be equally true about Tyler, so this doesn't exactly give me much insight into which one between them is scum, but it does strengthen my belief that one of them is scum.
So from HA's stuff, I got mostly townfeels for tool but Keyser's stuff is more mixed, lean scum.
Plan to look at what HA/Keyser/creature said about Tyler next.
