This post is disjointed and partially out of sequence because I'm gathering bits and commenting where I need to. Follow the trackbacks if you want to take them in context. That's all the apology you're going to get
Not DKT-style at least, although generally added to as I read up.
First stated views when asked by Rashan:
Nimander Golit, on 15 May 2017 - 10:48 PM, said:
Not that you asked, but:
Kilava
Amp
Merrid
Galain
Kilava, on 15 May 2017 - 11:01 PM, said:
Galain/Ampelas (haven't decided).
That's it. I consider everyone else town at this point.
Ampelas, on 15 May 2017 - 11:46 PM, said:
Kilava
Merrid
Galain (scummiest by far, but I do believe him to be the symp)
^WTF? Scummiest but bottom of the list?
Votes as current:
6 Players still alive: Ampelas, Galain, Kilava, Merrid, Nimander Golit, Rashan
4 votes to lynch, 3 votes to go to night.
2 Votes for Ampelas ( Kilava, Galain )
1 Vote for Nimander Golit ( Merrid )
1 Vote for Kilava ( Ampelas )
Players not voted: Nimander Golit, Rashan
Dare I suggest it but Kilava/Galain as scum/symp (in whatever order) based on their general scumminess impression on thread and that they're both voting the same way? Another point to note: should you really be putting someone at L-2 when you're also speculating that there are 2 scum alive still? Because that rather implies that at least one of them are on the train since there hasn't been an instant pile-on the moment it got to 2 votes. If this is D-Day then scum'll be playing to hammer the moment they can on town.

Back and catching up. I for one miss the dragonsecks.
I don't like Nimander's reveal, but without a counter I think we can believe him.
Why is Merrid in a twist over it?
Vote Osseric
This is the type of post I have come to associate with scum especially in a situation like this. Nonchalant acceptance of the reveal because there is no counter and a question aimed at Merrid's play without actually delving deeper into it.
Compare it with say, Denul's jokeyness, Silchas/Merrid's seriousness. This post by Osseric is lacking in town presence. 100% scum.
why no mention of Kilava?
Without re-reading, why would you expect a mention of Kilava here, Rashan?

Sorry about the alt reveal.
@ Ampelas. I know the lyric (from listening to the radio in the 70s and not from the Simpsons) and it was close enough to reference the song.Go bark up some other tree.
So defensive.
I was also eying SR, but you seem so much more responsive. Again, keep your panties out of a bunch. If you were a symp, I wouldn't waste time voting you off right away. Not like your death would tell us anything.
This line bothers me. it's all about scum pouncing on a straggler (while diffusing from SR)
-on the other hand, would scum really bring up yet another angle on SR on their own volition?
What do you mean here about another angle?

For the record I have never seen whatever movie it was and I don't remember it from the SImpsons, I know it from a song (where it's not "the loneliest")
remove vote
I don't get Nim's vote on Galain but I don't think me questioning everything Nimander does and I don't get leads anywhere or is much helpful so I'll just leave Nimander be
I need to reread the but it seems like Kilava has managed to stay relatively low despite not being low-poster. Denul's non-commitment warrants attention but his play has not been that much different from mine so they're not that supicious to me.
Galain, Rashan and Ampelas are all serious and sensible, maybe that's not such a bad place to look too. But I admit they all make sense in some way, but Ampelas is giving me the most tryhard feeling of them.
I like Galain's vote on Osserc, although as Rashan points out they have too little posts for my liking, would like to hear more from them.
This post takes subtle jabs at Kilava and Amp, while talking up Galain.
SR eventually votes Kilava (along with Amp, whom he describes as "tryhard")
I previously pointed out how weirdly he twists that line about me, Galain and Osseric to make it sound like I'm blaming osseric, rather than attacking Galain.
I'm reading the vote as distancing purely off your post here, not got time to check back (someone will I'm sure)
Rashan, on 16 May 2017 - 02:19 AM, said:
If Kilava is scum, then they must've spoken to SR and made up their minds to start distancing by this point.
Either that or they looked at thread and decided they needed to do so and said "bye!" in PMs

I don't know, Silchas, your 'joke' is just so weak and lame that I'm having trouble seeing you make that joke in the first place - it's almost like you thought up bits about it as you went along and tried to make it all stick together now.
On the other hand, maybe your jokes really are just that bad.
Kilava is really hammering SR now. This is either supremely strong acting (mind, SR is still at L-4 at this point), or Kilava is genuinely not scum.
Lets look at this another way - Rashan, what would you do if you came on thread and saw your partner had put a second vote against a claimed town role? Me, I'd reach for the flamethrower.
Rashan, on 16 May 2017 - 02:25 AM, said:
Ampelas actually jumps in right at that moment to attack Kilava, who is asking SR all kinds of questions, leading him to make questionable (?) jokes.
And puts Kilava at equal votes with SR. While following SR's lead.
Yeah I'd be distancing the fuck from Silchas about now, not following them. You?
Rashan, on 16 May 2017 - 03:04 AM, said:
That proves nothing, John Snow. that's the whole point of why symp cases are bloody pointless.
Galain is getting very whiny here. He's also now open to suspect half the thread, after his initial. quite dubious case on Merrid.
That to me feels more like I'd expect from Galain in a town role, admittedly I'd have expected it more on D1 than D2 so take it with a pinch of salt.

Kilava, on 09 May 2017 - 11:47 AM, said:
I wonder if you aren't retconning a reason after finding the pressure diverting on to you instead.
This post, when SR is still at 1 vote makes it unlikely Kilava is really scum. This is the exact same kind of pressure I later apply (albeit much more vigorously).
It's either supremely risky distancing, or genuine town play.
This post is about the only reason I'm not sold on Kilava as Rash makes a good point in their defence here.
Rashan, on 16 May 2017 - 03:59 AM, said:
Merrid: mostly all we've heard from Merrid is a lot of anger. There's been no real effort at making cases. They were vote 3 on SR, which speaks in their favour, and vote 3 on Denul, which really doesn't as it looks like a lazy, "easy pickings" "he slipped!" vote. Beyond that we've had Galain make a weak case on them (and with his syp cred that does mkes them look more inno), Kilava PIed them due to the anger, and Amp is on the fence, but more concerned with Kilava.
I acknowledge as much. With Nim being inclined to play as they have it's making it rather hard to see the point of cases when he's been there going "x is scummy" <they CF RI> from a CI perspective. If you throw yourself forward as CI then you'd better play like you've given it more than a seconds consideration every time you post.
Rashan, on 16 May 2017 - 03:59 AM, said:
Kilava strikes me as least likely scum at this point.
After reading through your roundup I've come to the opposite conclusion. I think Kilava our best bet for scum. I'm not going to vote yet, I'd like to hear others views on my thoughts (and also, you know, sleep) If it doesn't make sense tell me so and I'll try again later
Back at some point in the next 7-9 hours.
