Ok, Reading what's happened recently, there is one person who I am pretty sure is scum, and as he has the most votes at the moment, I'd like to keep it that way.
SuperBlackCatFirst post that stuck out to me:
Lies! All I see are strings of code Tiruin!
Urist: Nothing actually, I'm currently debating with whom to start.
The most obvious thing here is that most of the way through the first day, and he still wasn't even trying to scumhunt. That would be suspicious on it's own, but he is also, as he does in many other places, brushing aside a persons argument without any real explanation.
Another thing that caught my attention was his interaction with the late Caz. At first, rather saying that Caz was innocent, he said that everyone accusing Caz was Scum, for the reason that the votes were stacking up to fast. That argument didn't make a lot of sense to me, as rapid votes against one person often happen without scum help, normally it's more because someone made a convincing argument against the person. More importantly, after his random accusation move didn't work, he said this:
Heh Caz, Why are you arguing against yourself!
It's because you don't stick out like a sore thumb... yet. Actually this post makes you kinda stick out like a sore thumb. That uncanny valley think Makeinu was talking about.
This was in response to a generally regular post from Caz which doesn't look that scummy to me. More importantly, the post also included:
It's too fast and too many.
Because I look scummy? Why're you defending me, SBC? Know that I'll flip town and want to appear on the right side of smart town? Having no suspects at all this late in the day is very lazy, also.
Note how this argument makes complete sense, especially in retrospect, and superblackcat completely ignored it.
Now their is his interaction with TheDarkStar:

TheDarkStar
This is where my post is to you by the way. I'd like it if you answered my questions. I am resizing this for you to see it, thank you!
(I resized it smaller for you)
I had RL going on earlier, so I was able to make only some short posts; I also changed color because I did not have time to fully explain my vote for Caz. I bet you've noticed how I've posted less over the last few days (in more than one thread); this is because RL started to happen. I'll have more time now, though, so I'll be replying more. Just remember that sometimes people aren't there to read your posts every second of the day.
Take your yelling to someone else, where the problem is being scum and not having a few days of RL going on.
Nice Job Not Answering the question! I think you need glasses.
As stated later, TheDarkStar actually
did answer the question, if not exactly well. SuperBlackCat's post wouldn't be very suspicious, if he didn't later post this gem:

TDS. Much Defensive.
Wow.
You do a good job, of doing a bad job.
Is that it? Have other thoughts or concerns?
Do I need any other reasons? I think being so defensive is a scum tell. And you can pretty much see it in the past two pages.
Being defensive is a very bad reason, as townies will do it just as much as, if not more than, (which is the case IMHO) scum. He also admits that this is his
only reason, which his horrendously suspicious, as earlier he said he didn't feel like scum hunting because he couldn't find anything suspicious. I find it hard to believe that, if Superblackcat were
really scumhunting, the only things he was able to find in two days was TheDarkStar being reasonably defensive and Caz "sticking out like a sore thumb" for no apparent reason other than his sensible arguments against SuperBlackcat.
There were also multiple cases where SuperBlackCat seemed perfectly happy to annoy and anger others, relatively minor, and if people want me to bring up quotes I can.
Between the deflection, random accusation, unfounded accusation, bandwagoning, and general attitude, it is obvious to me that Superblackcat is scum.
@SuperBlackCat:
If you address these arguments with real and valid counterarguments, I am willing to believe you're town. (though it will take more than a few lines to convince me.) As it stands, however, you have done nothing to suggest you're innocent.
