Vote Emurlahnis
Not just because of the self vote, but because at the start of day two you voted for me without looking at day one properly. You also didn't vote day one, and we know scum got away without a lynch.
IE:
Your first reason I follow.
Reason two reads to me as a retaliation vote, not sure why as all my votes at that point were to pressure out responses. My intention was always to vote Eldat day 2, the fake reveal had me and that's the only reason I hesitated on that count, bad play on my part. I made no real claim on you as scum IE, I wanted info from you as you had the spotlight at the time. your explanation satisfied me and I moved on. looking at you now I still can't tell if you're a symp or not. heck maybe you're the killer? I just think stronger evidence points in a better direction.
Reason three I have explained away ad nauseum. I did not vote because neither case had me convinced. Rikkters case felt contrived and Eldats case was, at that point, lynched around him being too perfect a townie. Scum tends to get away with day 1, poor reason to peg me as one thing or the other.
I'm gonna walk you through the Day1 train as I saw it (tried hard to avoid this as whatever perspective I give is schewed, I get that). I just hope this makes things less confusing once you get my CF.

At this point the train on Eldat seemed to comprise of one gut feel, one finder, and two on the train just wanting town to get a lynch day 1. this support did not help me build confidence in the train. I kept silent against it though. we've been lucky before off gut feels and I wasn't gonna complicate things with nay-saying against the off chance Skintick was correct. Decided I'd sit back and wait to see how Eldat would respond.

Then we got a switch over to Rikkter. Prazec had held a speculative stance on Rikkter, not very strong but he felt it was a better seat for his vote. I didn't support the train at all but hoped this would get Rikkter back in here. The longer Rikkter kept off the forum in the face of this accusation the less likely he seemed to be lurking and the more upfront his cover story looked.
Aparal Forge jumped on this train and Eldat immediately followed suit. Alarm bells rang in my head and I was looking forward to Eldats CF because there was a ton wrong with this new train.

This is a tough call. I'm around to change.
vote Rikkter
Karatalid came in with the type of Vote I really couldn't agree with. Didn't feel very convinced, the vote effectively split the lynch train in half and made the likelihood of a successful lynch less likely. I followed up on this day 2. but never really wanted a lynch on Karatalid, a CF on Eldat was a priority. I missed the boat Day 1 and Day 2, Karatalid gave a decent account of himself later on in Day 2 but I find that I still suspect either AF or Karatalid was trying to stop the lynch, Perhaps both.

18 minutes left and Hentos Ilm and Kilava join the train. at this point if Rikkter was playing games with us he'd have shown up. I was convinced this was the wrong train but did not think voting Eldat at this point would yield anything nor would introducing a fourth train with a rushed case on Karatalid or AF. I decided to reserved my vote. unusual but not unheard of. A lynch was important but I was sure this was the wrong train. I didn't think holding off on Day 1 would cheapen my stance against Eldat Day 2. I made my first vote on him and would have made him my last vote had I kept track of the votes correctly.

I was not alone in avoiding the two trains but I realize I may have been the best positioned to balance things out mid lynch. In this particular game my vote activity isn't doing me any favors but I think I did make my stance on scum pretty clear and a vig or lynch on me should lead to some interesting follow up play. Anyways I still can't decide which of my preferred suspects is the best fit for the killer.
AF was followed onto the Rikkter train by Eldat linking the two. Karatalid split the vote. Kilava was second to last on the Rikkter train, followed by Skintick a bit of a convenient hammer considering all the back and forth between the two. Other than myself I think the best place for the killer would be the early 4 votes. Apparently Scum got pretty desperate to pull a fake reveal drawing out our finder. looking at the Rikkter train...I've the opinion AFs vote followed by Eldat was the most desperate and therefore (IMO) most likely move for scum.
Again very schewed opinion as I'm the popular candidate this round. Rather CF me and get the "vig" to handle whatever conclusions a train on me may divulge.
