Imagine that 10 people right now say
"vote: e
dunno, just feels off"
So e is lynched. If e turns up town, how do we differentiate from people expression honest but lame reads, and people who used lame reads as cover? Order on the wagon?? That introduces a ton of assumptions with little to no reasons why they might be true. ("well if I were scum, I'd vote early" "but *I* would want to be late on the wagon as scum")
What if e turns up scum? Well great scum doesn't want to lynch partners, so the wagon is towny! But if your partner were slowly becoming a lynch prospect, wouldn't you get on the wagon? Well, AAA would and BBB wouldn't; CCC would defend their partner and DDD never would. All we have is WIFOM, and any serious attempt at vote-count analysis is just disguised guesswork.

Y'all can't tell me how informative and important a lynch is, and at the same time let so many people explain their vote with "I just have a feeling".
If that indeed happened I would scumread the last 3 votes to hell and back, because hammering someone for "feeling off" is incredibly scummy. Especially if he flipped scum. Really, you're completely underestimating town AND scum with that post, just because some people have done that doesn't mean they'll continue it when the wagon's much bigger...
I've also realized that faust moved from Robz to Jimmmmmmm and then said this:
I think there is some consolidation necessary beforehand then. I'm not sure we can rely on a burst of activity on a Saturday morning. Currently the following players have more than 1 vote on them:
e, shraeye, Awaclus, Jimmmmm
@everyone, do you think this could possibly be partner interaction? Because I think this post by faust could essencially say "let's only lynch these 4 people", which is pretty scummy if none of them are (his) scum team. Luckily there could still be scum there, but still...
Yes, yes, the read list is coming, but I think it's only useful to consider people that I think will actually get lynched...in fact I'll state those now: Jimmmmm, e, Didds, Space, LL, shraeye, Glooble, mcmc; in no particular order.
