This thread is REALLY FREAKING LONG. Like holy cow a re-read takes forever.
Here’s some relevant stuff I found when rereading.
I just thought of a point against shooting, or at least publicly announcing. If scum has any kind of redirection, bus driving, whatever, they can essentially control Yuma's kill.
Nobody else had brought this up at this point. Does WW just randomly guess scum might have a bus driver, or does he know?

Awaclus wagon votes (starting from 0 current votes, goes all the way to lynch):
1239: faust votes Awaclus
1242: ww votes Awaclus
1243: iguana votes Awaclus
This starts the wagon, and are the first 3 votes.
Hydrad stays offwagon.
Would scum team REALLY do that? Would they be that ballsy? More likely imo they keep one off.

Day 2: Iguana and Faust fight a bit. Like a lot of back and forth.
Then Faust goes and votes WW in the middle of this. Would he really try two in-team fight gambits at once?
Maybe… he is Faust after all.

Climax of faust vs ww :
Faust says he has a result.
ww posts 3 times in rapid succession, instead of once. This seems much more indicative of emotional responses, posting them as they come. it reads more towney, and I’d expect scum to have a better written response.
Hydrad shows up after a bit and releases a flurry of posts. He doesn’t even seem to delve into why faust is doing what he’s doing and just writes about how WW might be bad.

Why did you target me, Faust?
Would scum WW be this aware to ask this? It seems a town thing to say.

WW, why did you target Hydrad ?
Originally I submitted Yuma, the thought being in that he could potentially be caught in a lie, or possibly half verify his claim. (Say, he claimed to use his power but there was only one kill, and not from him.) I decided to change it, though. My main thought on Hydrad was that he was the kind of guy to claim VT as scum in a game like this. He was also not very present yesterday and I had no indication towards town or scum. He'd probably be one of the more likely people to perform a kill on the scum team, too, with getting little attention.
I also expected Yuma to shoot, and I figured the kill flavor would verify him, so my result wouldn't mean a lot.
thats... pretty accurate. I think i usually end up being the one with dirty hands when I'm on the scum team.
Hydrad saying when he’s scum, he’s usually making the kills. He’s obviously not making them this game, and this right here sounds off.

Iguana goes hard after faust during all of day 2. Faust is clearly trying to get WW dead. So let’s say WW dies and is scum, faust looks good. Iguana looks like scum for going after Faust. That play just isn’t worth it.

You know what?
Vote: Hydrad
He is scummy, and a flip here just might help you all realize that WW is indeed lying.
Okay, that was scummy.
Vote: Hydrad
and later…
So Hydrad is just a mix of null and scummy throughout the entire game. There are a lot of unexplained votes, a lot of "let's kill this person for information" posts, and a really heavy use of the word interesting as a sole commentary on things happening.
I think the only reason I wasn't voting for him before is WW's claim.
Vote: Hydrad
Right, Hydrad is better than Haddock.
Vote: Hydrad
Scum really seems to want Hydrad dead… they’ve been infighting all game though, so this isn’t out of place.

Really leaning towards Hydrad being the scum. WW’s investigations check. Hydrad as goon, not submitting kill. e as being investigated by Teproc. faust is bus driving people. Hydrad still not making kill, iguana must have. I’m obviously not doing anything.
There is some busdriving potential in there, but it all checks out. I’m pretty confident that Hydrad is the scum.
Not voting yet; would rather talk it out a bit more.
