Okay, I did more or less a full re-read. I went into thinking Umbrage was scum, but I've changed my mind and think it's LaLight now.
Day 1:
joth was voting for me for a large portion of the Day. He made a big (for Day 1) case on me:
#393.
After DatSwan's Mason claim, Galz and I had 3 votes on us each. Dylan and joth both voted for me (
#385 and
#386), putting me on L-2 with Galz still on L-4.
They both (particularly joth) pushed for lynching me ahead of lynching Galz. If I was scum with them, it would have been the easiest thing in the world to get the Galz lynch through. Obviously joth did end up hammering Galz, but only because that's the Towny thing to do (avoid a no-lynch). If you read Day 1 after the DatSwan claim, they definitely tried to lynch me.
Bear in mind that if I'm scum, I'm a full (not 1-shot) Strongman, which is probably very close to the most valuable member. With various possibilities for for Town Roleblockers and Doctors, the Strongman would be the one to make every kill a guarantee. Also a Strongman flip helps Town solve the game as it indicates the possible number of Ts. There is no way scum wants to kill their Strongman on Day 1.
Day 2:
This is the Day that made me change my mind about Umbrage. It's the one significant Day that scum hasn't tried to lynch me, and they tried to lynch you instead. joth seemed pretty keen for your lynch, and Dylan voted for you too. The same argument apply for them not bussing you, except that if you're scum you're only a 1-Shot Strongman.
Day 3:
Funnily enough, joth says it best:
By the same token, “scum makes a fake cop claim and accuses themselves in order to guarantee the game that they’ve basically won drags on two more turns” strikes me as absurdly implausible.
As I've said before, scum was in a very good position before Dylan's claim. Even if all 3 scum had come under suspicion, there were plenty of opportunities for mislynches. New reads and cases always come up, and it was very unclear who would be lynched that day. In the scenario in which I'm scum, Dylan's claim absolutely guaranteed that the next lynch would be scum.
Day 4:
I didn't technically participate in the joth lynch. In hindsight I probably should have voted for him at the start of the Day, and I should probably use my vote better in general. But I was very vocal about wanting to lynch him. I feel like I led that lynch (primarily on Day 3) more than anyone, except maybe DatSwan.
Also about the Dylan claim - a Dylan/joth/me team in this scenario (if we did for some reason decide to claim a Cop result on our own), would have been much better off if I had been lynched instead of Dylan. Dylan and joth tied themselved together very strongly and Dylan probably would have received much more Town cred for his claim resulting in a correct lynch that I received by being targeted. So if this was the case I should have done less to fight against being lynched. As it happened, I fought hard against it and succeeded, making the following joth lynch fairly inevitable.
About the mcmc kill:
LaLight argued pretty strongly against mcmc. I think that if you (Umbrage) or I were scum, we would kill the other and leave LaLight and mcmc alive, hoping for a mcmc lynch. Scum LaLight leaving him alive doesn't help much if he's the only one who expressed a scum read on him.
