I would edit Lalight's quote list differently. First I'm taking out all the fluff. Then I add a few comments.
So let's finally do what needs to be done. Joseph reread.

I’m here! I had closed my dedicated forum tab in my browser… I have to get back in the habit of checking this again!
Sounds like what lurking scum would say
Everything above is pretty much fluff. But here it gets interesting, given what Awaclus said:
Why is this scumreading of gkrieg fluff? It's the same level of accusation he made against Awaclus and mathdude, just this time it's gkrieg.
Now comes the theory that leads to his Awaclus vote, basically in reaction to joth challenging the discrepancy between his reactions to gkrieg and Awaclus.
Interesting. Why is that something lurking scum would say but
Looks like I don't get e-mail notifications from f.ds at all anymore, it used to be a little random before but I haven't gotten a single notification this whole thread. I guess I have to keep up with it manually.
is not? They're both very similar excuses for low activity, but Joseph called one out and ignored the other. Could it be because one came from a partner? J'accuse
Vote: Joseph2302
Vote: Awaclus then
My theory is that they're both scum, so doesn't matter so much which one we exile first (if we exile them both eventually, obviously godfather first is good)
Post #160 Joseph votes for mathdude 3rd, after Awaclus and LALIGHT
Vote: mathdude
#wagons
Now housekeeping/theory talk:
That's L-3 I think?
So we have 2 wagons with L-3 (is correct terminology now meant to be E-3?)
The traitor isn't irrelevant, we stop winning if we find the SM if the SM recruits the traitor. So, if we exile the traitor today, that's great news for us and bad news for scum, which is why it's in the strongman's best interests to stop that from happening if possible.
Agree, this is what I was (badly) trying to say earlier in the thread. Better to kill a scum than a town, even if it's "only" the traitor.
Gkrieg seems like an easy vote, as he hasn't posted much at all
OTOH, seems like an easy misexile target for scum to wagon on, which I think could be the case here
Ergo, I think there's scum on the gkrieg wagon, as whilst exiling lurkers seems to be common, it's an easy out for scum SM to avoid being exiled and losing immediately
None of this seems focused on mathdude. So far we have only the #wagons vote that refers to mathdude.
But here he doesn't sr Awaclus anymore (which also doesn't really clear Awa from suspicion):
Vote Count 1.4
gkrieg (5): WestCoastDidds, LaLight, mathdude, scolapasta, MiX (L-1)
Mathdude (3): Awaclus, Joseph, Joth
scolapasta (1): EFHW
Not Voting (1): gkrieg
So by my previous logic that SM is on this lazy gkrieg wagon, I think SM is in {WCD, LL, math, scola}
This also doesn't target math specifically. Didds, Lalight and scola are equally pointed to. But he stays where he already was.
Vote Count 1.4
gkrieg (5): WestCoastDidds, LaLight, mathdude, scolapasta, MiX (L-1)
Mathdude (3): Awaclus, Joseph, Joth
scolapasta (1): EFHW
Not Voting (1): gkrieg
So by my previous logic that SM is on this lazy gkrieg wagon, I think SM is in {WCD, LL, math, scola}
And so I'm fine with my vote on math, don't see a compelling reason to change right now
Do you see a compelling reason to change that he ignored?
{snip fluff}
Lalight:
And the last post
I don't expect to be around much, but think my vote is in a good place right now
What's the rule if we don't get a hammer? Presumably no exile (which is bad for town)?
I'm not sure what to draw from it, it's basically nothing. It points to mathdude, actually, probably, surely vote: mathdude
Joseph is not tunneling mathdude here. He sheeps onto the wagon and then doesn't have a reason to get off the wagon because math didn't strike him as towny. 5 of us settled on mathdude for similar reasons. "Actually, probably, surely" seems like overstatement.
vote: Lalight for his case. Also, I'll restate that I found math's argument that he would have recruited convincing.
