DiBs stated the the scum roles would be drawn randomly, so saying there should be a guard and a healer or w/e is silly. It could be two guards for all we know.
Who do you think HD was targetted by last night if you believe there were already two scum kills?
My issue with vigs early game was that IF a killer was also a vig, a double kill late game would be very powerful. Since everyone has decided there will be double kills anyway it's now a bit of a moot point. With two vigs down raising the possibility of a triple kill seems silly.
I suggested three people as possible scum, but noone seems to want to follow that chain of logic until we know for sure the number of kills scum have.
In terms of additional scum hunting - in order of my suspicion: I'm inclined to agree with people's assessment of Tapper as being sympish. If there is only one kill, I feel Silencer is the most likely to have lied. Bent has been very quite and gavin is a chronic low poster so not much to go on there, which is worrying. Either you or Mappo could be playing the 'present but not too involved' killer and HD is either being an incredibly ballsy killer make such a bit fuss, or is inno.
OK, I missed the scum being drawn randomly thing, which kind of screws most of my theorising.
If I knew who had targeted HD I'd be shouting "SCUM" at them by now!!

Has Vengeance posted at all this game day? Hoosier asked him to pop up and say who he healed and he hasn't surfaced from whatever part of the world he hails from. America, I think.
I agree with alt about speculating on what roles scum could have. It wastes time when really it cannot be proven till CF. Also as to who targeted HD - it doesn't make much sense, unless Hinter is lying and didn't guard Ment, assuming he tried to use his vig. So either Hinter lied (why, by the way, all these useless proclamations of innocence?), and the scum went for the two remaining vigs HD and Ment (a probable outcome, as you said Hinter), and Ment vigged Gavin, or Hinter is being truthful and my heal did nothing. I'm leaning towards the former, as it makes more sense. If I was scum, I would target vigs first, as they're the most dangerous.
All these useless proclomations of innocence? I think I may have said it twice, but meh, sometimes you have to say something several times to try and get it into peoples' heads. I didn't claim to know who targeted HD - you'd know if I did - I said I would have if I was scum. Something you in fact repeat in this post. I say it and I'm scummy - you say it and its all roses?
How does me being truthful (i.e guarding Ment) mean your heal did nothing?

Interesting that when I call you on not posting you show up fair soon...but I'm willing to credit work as a reasonable excuse.
I accede to your wisdom on scum matters. I just assumed that an insta-kill action when the players trickle down could be of a greater threat than a guard. But I see the logic.
What I find most suspicious about both HD and Hinter are repeated claims to innocence. We're all nominally inno,
so no need to go entrench the notion in our brains when making a case. It seems a little to me like trying too hard. HD is suspicious as well because he's been so provocative. In the interest of the game, apparently, but I dunno...something's a little off there.
Soo...V
enge healed Silencer (guard), I healed HD (vig), and Alt healed Hinter (guard). HD (supposedly) did not vig, and Hinter (supposeldy) guarded Ment, who then did not vig. That implies two killers. However, we have to trust that both HD and Hinter are telling the truth, which might be drawing too long a bow...
EDIT: spelling
First underlined bit - sorry for trying, perhaps I'll not bother posting any more because that would really help us.
Second underlined bit - so Vengy and Alt get a free pass to inno land in your book, whereas HD and I don't? Is that because we are actually pointing at people, probing a bit and voting?

I don't really understand it either. From what I can see he's been logical and helpful, if a little too focused on mechanics. From what I can remember, the votes were based on assumptions that he'd made, or things he was overlooking. I think. Hinter voted for him, I know that. I'll go re-read.
I was very logical and helpful in my last game. Unfortunately for the town, I was scum, and offed every motherfucking last one of them

Being logical and helpful does not prove innocence.
