I mostly buy Zrk2's defence. Though I'm still annoyed by his move, he's no longer lynch-worthy for today, given his
role claim and justifications. Maybe not optimal play, but not necessarily scummy. Also, for the record:
It's basically a very noticeable day-ending day-vig power.
The day ended on schedule. Zrk2's shenanigans didn't trigger the day end. On the other hand, Shakerag's non-dying means he's likely not a jester, so his D1 play makes it possible
Shakerag is scum in RIA mode.
Although weekends are generally lurky, I'm most suspicious of those who were lurking beforehand and haven't done anything useful yet. Like, say,
Think0028: Please tell us your top scumpicks, and your reads of those I bold below.
Regarding Dariush, Here's what he said:
Toaster, you are scum, your role is Something Fun and your abilities are Fun, Something and Have Some.
I don't think that's Toaster's role; I tend to buy the notion that he tried to inspect him, got redirected, and whoever he hit has a "something" "fun" role, and is likely scum unless Dariush flips scum. I don't think his trying to inspect a claimed miller is necessarily scummy ("I forgot his miller claim", "why would scum single out a miller for inspection?" That's all WIFOM-street), but his lack of his own roleclaim to support it is. A miller claim is a
null tell, meaning they're as likely a target for a town's power as anyone else. (That's the '"plan", isn't it, Toaster?)
Still,
Dariush: please tell us your read of Urist I, Native/UristM and Think0028. What do you say about Leafsnail's points?
But my top likely scum spot goes to
Flandre, for the following reasons:
a) Her very first jumpy RVS response
[1] "Scum? Me? Go vote yourself!" Jumpiness may be noobness... or scumminess. Her explanation later of "just as planned! But I'll stop now!" smells to me of being caught and correcting a course when seen as scummy.
[2][3]b) Curiosity on cult clues
[4] (yes, there's likely a cult, but scum are more worried about it than town on D1, and likely to insist).
c) Buddying attempt at me ("I'll agree with you to make you look elsewhere! please don't look too deeply at my posts!")
[5], along with a massive "look at me! I'm contributing! I can't be scum if I do that!" feeling to her post... while at the same time jumping on the bandwagon du jour.
d)
Many "can't post now, will post later" active-lurking instances
[6][7][8][9]e) Her tendency to jump onto badwagons/easy lynches. Zrk2's D1, and
Dariush's today. Even her FoSs then and now have been bandwagony (Powderminer, Shakerag).
Bookthras: Why FoS Zrk2 and then not vote anyone? Who is scum and why?
I FoS'd him at the start of the day because his move was scummy. I didn't vote him then to avoid a premature hammer. I no longer think he's scummy enough for my vote. Who I think is scummy is answered above.
Speaking of which,
Toaster: Please give details on your millerness. Is it inspect-only, flip-only, both, neither, something else?
