I've made some PPS re-read notes, but really I think my whole evaluation of how scummy he feels is going to hinge on my re-read of theorel, and whether or not PPS's tunnel on theorel can seem in any way sensible.
The arguments in favour of theorel being scum, paraphrased from PPS, seem to be that theorel's reaction to Joseph's SK claim was scummy, PPS hasn't played before with theorel, and theorel's reads list started with an introductory sentence to why a reads list was useful there. I feel like I may have missed a nebulous "he sounds scummy" somewhere, and then a bit more confirmation bias, too...
Only 16 game posts, which is lower than I'd have thought.
His very first game post at #52 is a failed attempt to vote theorel, because he had "the scummiest" reaction to Joseph's early joke SK claim, and for a ridiculous reason that theorel is more likely to be scum because PPS hasn't played with him before.
Makes a presumably-jokey SK claim at #83.
Successfully votes theorel at #103. Urges others to vote at #139.
Says at #150 that he can "do a thing" on theorel, but that it's all really based on theorel's initial posts, and how he never did anything to change PPS's read. Emphasizes at #162 that he found one thing scummy and stuck to that because "D1 sucks" and that's how he rolls.
Responds at #173 to WW's post about theorel pseudo-townslipping, but doesn't seem to update his read at all -- only comments on how we already have two claimed SKs. Then a weird "all serious" post at #179, then a huge gap till he takes the hammer at #290. It looked really scummy, except that for PPS it's probably not so alignment-indicative, because I think hammers are something he likes.
His first D2 post is at #319, immediately following a theorel reads post, nad saying that theorel still looks like scum. His main argument here seems to be that theorel's post opened with "Okay, I think I need a reads list to keep track of everybody...", and PPS read that as "I need to make sure I stay congruent while influencing town and trying to appear towny". I opened my main reads list post with "Some things for people to disagree with me on, given that this is going to have to be a readsy game" -- so how is mine (which shows consciousness of how people are likely to take my observations etc, which I think is something I get scumread for) so much less scummy than theorel's that he's getting scumread for that, and I'm widely townread?
PPS's own reads list is at #333. He comments on Robz, schadd, WW, me, TWM and theorel, but misses out Joseph and Galz entirely. He only talks about theorel in the context of being maybe-partners with WW or me, but then theorel is the one who gets the vote at the end.
He responds at #335 to WW's question about PPS's note on WW's interaction with theorel. It's notable that PPS didn't say "lack of interaction" in his reads, but that seems to be how he's explaining it. His response is 30 mins after the question, even though the question was posted within 90 seconds of PPS's reads.. I've got no record of whether PPS was online or reading things in that time, but it's definitely long enough to pick up the question and go and re-read enough to make something up if the first "observation" about WW and theorel's interactions wasn't actually a real observation at all..
At #345 he responds to schadd's catch of some logic fail in PPS's reads, and at least is willing to admit he was being inconsistent.
At #346 he implies he's set up a "scum trap".
At #354 the game has slowed down again, and he seems to be suggesting that I'd be a good town to flip over. Thankfully that one wasn't followed by a vote.
