OK before I start, I must say that before the night's kill was posted I was about 70% sure the 2nd scum is Montosh. He posted that neither here neither there post right before the deadline and only took a stand when I asked him to vote. I was thinking, if he voted Kazio and kazio turned up townie he will look pretty scummy, so he made a calculated move to get his scum partner killed so he could look townie. Anyway thanks scum! you killed him and made this day easier.
OK. so today, we have the following left alive:
d3mon, Imran, Kazio, KevinH and EM
I think we can apply a process of elimination and identify the scum.
d3mon - first on the Rafay lynch wagon. If he was scum he could have easily jumped on the Kazio wagon or started a wagon on me. He didnt and instead went for Rafay. scum will have no motivation to do so. d3mon - confirmed town
me- I could have easily stuck to my kazio vote and got him lynched instead of Rafay. I had support from kevin and EM and montosh might have probably joined me as well. If i was scum i would have no motivation to switch my vote to Rafay and get him lynched. Me - confirmed town.
kazio - this is a bit tricky. he was getting lynched if I didnt switch my vote and montosh didnt vote for Rafay. He had his vote on me instead of on Rafay and only switched when it became obvious he will get lynched if Rafay was not getting lynched. If he is scum, he might have calculated that as both scum were under the spotlight, it is better for him to survive instead of Rafay. However, I find that unlikely for the moment. so. Kazio - Most probably town
so it comes down to kevin and EM. the remaining two on the Kazio wagon. To see what Mr. Scum, Rafay, thought of out 2 suspects, lets scrutinize some of his posts:
@Kev: I already said I'm against random voting but judging by your gameplay your aching to get 2 kills 1 in the day an another in the night but with whom.......?
ATM I'm getting suspicious readings from Kev n Lyner.
Maybe Lyner's just having fun but Kevin.....
Sad that it has come to this. I'm kinda stuck here don't you think??? If I vote to save myself, I'll be blamed for abandoning my strategy of no lynch on 1st day and declared scum. If I don't, the town loses a townie........
I'll vote if we can lynch KevinH or Lyner as I suspected them from the start so I'll pick either just wait....
Vote: Lyner
It was either Kevin or Lyner so I went for some1 who could be lynched easily....
Interesting NK.
Only Kevin voted for Robert.....
We see numerous posts from Scum Rafay against Kevin. The last post also seems to indicate that he was trying to imply that robert was night-killed because kevin was against robert and had voted for him (this may be the reason they killed robert -> he wanted kevin to look scummy based on robert's death for some reason).
That makes me think kevin is one of the chosen and Rafay is trying his hardest to get him lynched. Who else was trying to get kevn lynched? well EM of course. So it seems like a clear-cut case of EM being the second scum.
However, there are also posts like the following from EM:
Usually when people preface their sentence by saying, to be honest or Im not gonna lie, it usually means that person is lying or is a generally dishonest person.
That was posted in reply to Rafay. He knows Rafay is lying if he is his scum partner. Why is he putting a spotlight on his partners amateurish post? He has also at times commented on Rafay being a lurker and not contributing much.
But then EM is a very experienced player and knows that if he is not pointing out flaws in Rafay's game style, he himself will look suspicious. So he is covering his bases, in case Rafay gets exposed as scum. Unfortunately for him, Rafay's lynch, being switched from an almost sure lynch of Kazio put him into a very bad position and comments like those against Rafay is not enough to acquit him.
So in summary, it comes down to kevin or EM. Rafay's posts indicate he was strongly against kevin which gives kevin townie points.
