Remaining scum are probably Oliverz and TricMagic. The recent cross-vote might be the most obvious last-ditch distancing attempt I've ever seen.
Y'know, assuming they're both mafia.
To expand on this. Oliverz doesn't have any sort of consistent idea about who is mafia. On d3 he had 4mask, myself, and Crystalizedmire as mafia, with Fallacy as a scumlean. There's no attempt at a cohesive worldview. No attempt to determine a scumteam that makes sense together.
Then on d4 he lurks for over 48 hours before voting for TricMagic. The guy who he listed as "I forgot about him" on d3. Why isn't he pushing his d3 scumreads, when one of them flipped mafia? What happened to those reads, did they just disappear into the ether? Or did they never really exist in the first place? Either way, for him to push on Tric today makes 0 sense, unless it's distancing or I suppose just a random vote.
There is a complete lack of town perspective coming from Oliverz and I'm astounded that he doesn't have more votes.
What are the interactions that show Oliverz is mafia with 4mask? Can someone lay this out?
Oliverz is independently scummy and should be lynched based on his own play. There are a couple of indicators that he is paired with 4mask, but these are less compelling than his own play.
1. 4mask's first "case" after he got redchecked was on Oliverz (
link). I don't believe that he was trying to get him mislynched. Instead, I read the post as him knowing he's about to be lynched, and distancing as much as he can before he dies. 4mask's post against Oliverz reads as if he already knows that Oliverz is mafia, and is able to come up with good points against him as a result. You might also notice that he gives two separate reasons for isoing Oliverz first; this is because he had chosen Oliverz first based on the fact that he wanted to distance from him, not for any stated reason.
2. The complaint that Oliverz's posts give him psychic damage is a lame way to avoid interacting with him. Oliverz also failed to acknowledge the half-insult.
3. Oliverz went hard against 4mask on d3, after the redcheck. This is speculation, but I feel as if Oliverz is rather inexperienced and that if he were town, 4mask's claim would have given him pause. Instead, 4mask is bussed without hesitation.
