Well, this looks bad. To all of those labelling me as obvscum, please keep in mind that Pesco knew he wasn't the only partial vig role, and he still believed me strongly enough to swing the lynch away from me and towards Suwako. Also keep in mind that Suwako knew I was wrong about him, and still stated that he believed my story. This isn't an open-and-shut case.
There's not a whole lot more I can say in my defense. I wouldn't roleclaim SK here, even if I was one, because I very much doubt that it would save me. As Kiro says, my actions aren't at all consistent with that sort of victory condition, and an even-kill SK would be beyond a bastard mod role in the first place.
As for who I think actually is scum, we now have confirmation that Suwako was town, and that every flipped player who was on his wagon D1 was town. With one flipped scum, and presumably three left, and three unflipped spots on the D1 Suwako wagon including myself, I at least have proof that at least one scum was bussing VgameT, and if that's the case, maybe they all were. A conspiracy of a different sort.
I have one top, stand-out suspect, and it's founded on last night's actions. Pesco is beyond bizarre as a night kill choice. He was the swing vote that sealed Suwako's mislynch. Yet, he was an unclaimed power role. If scum has a tracker or a role cop, then they'd know that Pesco would be the one player that could stop them in the event of a mislynch today.
Here's my theory. D1, VgameT makes a policy lynch of himself, whether as part of a plan or by complete accident. Scum realize that he's not going to make it to LyLo. Nietz, the scum tracker, decides to bus him, planning to cruise straight to LyLo on the towncred. N1, he uses his ability on Pesco. If he's scum tracker, it returns whoever Pesco protected. If he's scum rolecop, it returns "Kevorkian Doc." Either way, scum now know that Pesco is dangerous.
D2, scum lets the town go about chasing newbies and following false leads. Nietz hangs back and watches the circus. N2, scum decide to let Pesco live for whatever reason. Maybe they think he's probably protecting himself, maybe they have a roleblocker. Nietz either tracks me as he claimed, or scans me vig and makes the obvious conclusion from Zakeri's death.
D3, he sees suspicion building on him and makes his roleclaim with proof to reclear himself. He lies about who he tracked N1 - chances are, this would paint Affinity as his scumbuddy, unless he was gutsy enough to name a random townie as using no ability N1, betting that he wouldn't be unlucky enough to pick another power role. N3, he figures that Pesco is going to be protecting him, and so offs Pesco so he can't bring his ability to play on the night after LyLo to keep the town in the game.
##Vote: Nietz
A bit of a stretch, I know. I may have a bad track record with those, this game, but I now have confirmation that bussing was going on, so the only question is who's doing it.
