I tend to agree with you. I've had the feeling that Opie will probably come up town for a while now. I was never really sold on the Opie wagon, and I think that CO and Xyl's votes on Opie are/were suspect. I wondered if I should have voted Opie awhile ago, but my mind was made up when nobody on his wagon offered any other compelling evidence against him.
I feel really stuck. I don't want to see a probable townie [Opie] get lynched (even though it would be a good source of information). On the other hand, even though I still find ChaosOmega scummy (for all the reasons I mentioned earlier), I feel much less certain of his guilt than Guardian's, namely because he's given us far less to work with. Plus, without a claim from ChaosOmega, I'm more than a bit worried about "shooting in the dark", so to speak. I really don't like either option very much.
I haven't liked some of Xylthixlm's posts as of late. I think he recently has tended to focus a lot more on the small number Guardian's positive posts recently and not given sufficient weight to the negative ones (odd to me, given that he seemed to be considering both very well earlier). I am asking myself why he thought Guardian was neutral before, but more town now (especially when I thought Guardian has been much more scummy recently, compared to early in the day.) I also felt Xyl's vote on Opie was wagonny, but I'm suspicious of Xyl's jumping off Opie's wagon too. It seems to me like Xyl may have seen the tide turning away from Opie and is now finding a way off the wagon. But if Opie *is* town, that is actually the right thing for a townie to do. So I'm not quite sure what to think about Xyl. If I had to give a read on Xyl, I'd say I find him slightly scummy, but he's not my concern at the moment.
I think a Guardian/ChaosOmega/Xylthixlm is plausible, but unfortunately, I'm not yet convinced that that explains everything very well yet.
I was really hoping we could get a Guardian lynch, as he fits my lynch criteria of someone I find scummy that will give good information. But it looks like that won't happen.
Really though, the only important decision I have to make right now is whether to vote ChaosOmega, and I'm torn.
