Okay, I just re-read Day 1. Good news, friends.
The last scum is mcmcsalot. It's much, much clearer on re-read. Like overwhelmingly clear. He's scummy in his own right, and by process of elimination.
The gist is this: He consistently votes for raerae at times when she is not in danger, and then is not voting for her--but saying she's scummy and that he
will vote for her--at times when she is in more danger. Comapared side-by-side with Scotty, mcmcsalot's behavior toward raerae is strictly scummier than Scotty's.
Here's him, when the raerae wagon is building:
vote: raerae
What answer could he have given that you would not have replied the same way?
From my perspective you asked him a question and afterwards voted him for a reason unrelated to his answer.
Then I think he realizes this vote is more dangerous than he realized, and unvotes:
vote: raerae
What answer could he have given that you would not have replied the same way?
From my perspective you asked him a question and afterwards voted him for a reason unrelated to his answer.
Exactly how I feel about it. It can't be a serious vote. I dont get why someone would post out of spite in this game as it really doesn't help anything.
I want to add raerae is a doesn't one, I can see town raerae thinking Andrew is scum and doing this exact same thing. Remember pirates where she swapped in and went at it with another townie(I was scum and loved being able to pick either side) soo with that unvote off to reread Yuma and see of I get that sense from him
Justification:
More remembrance, Yuma and me have discussed the idea of townie "pushing" lynches similarly to the way scum does and Yuma was of the opinion that town shouldn't and would rarely use tactics to make the person they think is scum look scummy so that is consistent with his thoughts in town!raerae not having a reason to do what she did.(correct me if I am misremembering)
Followed by the giveaway:
He also mentions the poor town play possibility definitely no scum read there. This makes me want to go back to outing raerae though I think she is not the best day 1 lynch based on contributions.
"This makes me want to go back to [lynching] raerae." But
he doesn't. Not then, at least. Not until the wagon builds up to L-2, Axxle does that fake out thing, and then it goes back down.
Then mcmc votes for raerae. Historically speaking, this is a safe time to vote for your scum partner; they just survived an early Day 1 wagon, and will likely not actually be revisited.
But then... we stall out, votes fly everywhere, and we actually come back to raerae. Note who casts the next vote for her, after mcmc:
Vote Count 1.18:
raerae (4): AndrewisFTTW, mail-mi, mcmcsalot, scott_pilgrim
yuma (2): shraeye, pingpongsam
shraeye (2): yuma, Robz888
scott_pilgrim (2): Eevee, A Drowned Kernel
AndrewisFTTW (1): raerae
Not Voting (1): Axxle
With 12 alive, it takes 7 to lynch.
Day 1 ends at 4:30 p.m. on March 3, 2014.
That is in less than 24 hours.
Scotty's vote is more likely to get raerae killed than mcmc's, herego, mcmc is more likely scum.
Interesting things--things I forgot about--happen after that. I start a mini wagon on Scotty. I do think Scotty reacted pretty scummy to it, but... Yuma clearly preferred it as the alternative to raerae. His best last effort to achieve a lynch on a non-mafia was to pivot toward Scotty. Note that this wasn't an entirely desperate thing. He had a good shot at achieving it. It was my idea, I trusted yuma, Scotty was kind of scummy, we had Eevee on board for it.
Scotty is very, very unlikely to be scum, based on Day 1. Whereas mcmc did exactly what scum would have done, especially in comparison to Scotty.
