Rereading the thread this stood out to me again:
That Xerxes guy is scummy. Someone should vote for him.
Vote: Xerxes
Also, what have I done / not done that's scummy?
Also, POE this early probably won't be very useful.
These are his second and third posts of the game. Faust was clearly not serious in his post, but xp still felt the need to defend himself. First he joke-votes himself, then asks how he is scummy. I don't really see this reactive behavior from town!xp. I originally voted for him because of the "PoE...won't be...useful" bit, which I still don't like. Which goes completely along me my totally disagreement with this statement:
I'm also not sure if revealing all your reads this early is a good idea, if your suspect is in fact scum, he can adapt to it. I mean that's a general thing, so you probably have your reasons, but yeah.
Scum knows who other scum are. Town doesn't. In my opinion, honest reads from town are one of the best tools for finding scum. Scum have to fabricate reads. Which is much more difficult than just saying what you think. But silverspawn is definitely consistent and hasn't given out any reads. He has made jokes, corrected grammar, voted several different people, and done a lot without getting much done. I am going to keep my vote on xp, but my second choice right now is silverspawn for scum.
