OK so I'm just going to lay it all on the line.
My top pick for Scum today is not one of the two I listed Yesterday (though the second was on my list yesterday.)
I just re-read D1 with the knowledge that Tordeck was Town. I still think Pedrobear is scum, but I'm not convinced NightArcher is. Working under the assumption there's only 2 scum in the game (as more would be incredibly broken), I believe the second scum is RedNihilist.
His play has been pinging me all along, but in re-reading him, the evidence is there.
Firstly, this post:
Rezmochu, when you've got some spare time, can you please link me a game where you didn't just mindlessly call me scum over and over?
Just for the sake of asking.
Because I might be biased, but I recall you being actually right only once while being wrong like a million times.
Not because you're wrong or anything, but you're wrong as usual
This is a LOT of worrying about 1 vote:
Votecount
NightArcher (1): Manders
Tordeck (2): imopen2, RedNihilist
RedNihilist (1): Tordeck
imopen2 (1): PedroBear
Not voting: rezombad, NightArcher
With 7 alive, it's 4 to lynch.
Tentative deadline in 6 days-ish. Make sure you have at least 7 posts by that time.
This vote count was LITERALLY the post following his above quoted. There's absolutely no reason for Town to give a crap that one person is voting them (much like Tordeck did for most of D1, and he had more than 1), ESPECIALLY if it's someone who's often wrong about your alignment in your experience (as Red states is the case in his own post. He's trying to brush it off as no big deal, just wondering...but he shouldn't care in-game. This is more appropriate conversation for after the game.)
I no longer believe NightArcher is scum, and here's a good example of why:
After rereading the game thus far, I'm going to change my two. Nothing Rednihilist said thus far reads particularly scummy, he was my first choice on a gut suspicion. I'm noticing a fairly aloof pattern from another player though.
1. Imopen2
2. Tordeck
Back to Red, but this post bothered me when I read it the first time:
I don't like the fact that N_A vanished after being posed a direct question.
In reviewing, RedNihilist's post was made at 2:54 PM. I posted my question to NightArcher at 2:39 PM CST.

NightArcher had last posted at 7:39 PM CST the night before.
Why were you so quick to make the accusation you made? (That he'd disappeared after being posed a direct question.)
Meta isn't involved at all - I know for a fact that your read is wrong, I don't need to read old games to know that.
Not the first time he's called himself Town without actually saying it. (Always "You're wrong.")
Red
Tordeck
Manders
Pedro
Imopen
Nightarcher
I think?
Is/was this your order of scumminess?
Other than this, he's done a whole lot of nothing in this game. He's sat back and watched as it all goes down.
Vote: RedNihilist
