8 people left. No LYLO warning. That's a decent sign. Looks like there's only 2 scum in this game. No telling if someone is a Survivor or not which would determine whether 5 or 6 Townies are left. Also, Jailkeeper and Cop combination... how counterproductive. Acts as a limiter to prevent 8 or 9 Townies from overrunning 2 Scum especially if 1 of them was lynched early.
Not liking Pesco at the moment. Along with the general evasiveness, he left his Day 1 vote on Nuclear Fusion when it was somewhat evident that the lynch wouldn't have gone through. That's rather lazy and somewhat anti-Town behavior to just meaninglessly park your vote there and you had ample time to pursue someone else. His explanations for who his second choice would be were also inadequate as I had mentioned before. But I let this all pass at first because I thought Pesco was crumbing that he was actually the Cop, especially being the first one to vote NF. He consistently keeps that stance by voting NF into Day 2. Of course since NF is actually the Cop, this destroys any notion that Pesco is another Cop, especially when this game should only have 2 Scum. And if you want to say Pesco is another Town power role, I'm not quite ready to believe that along with the way he's acted. Which leads back to the question of why he's bothering to pretend?
I could also understand why Pesco would vote so quickly for NF after his copclaim... if Scum had no roleblocker. They had to realize that they were expecting NF to be protected by a Doc no matter how scummy NF had been acting and NF would get at least one result out so a Scum Pesco would have taken the chance and keep the pressure on NF. Even if there was little chance of the lynch materializing, he probably wagered that NF was set to be mislynched in the future anyways and wanted to keep that stance. It's also possible that his scumbuddy would have caught on and tried to force the lynch to L-1 thus increasing pressure for the mislynch to occur Day 1. That is a much weaker case, but the fact that it did not happen does suggest the possibility the Scum buddy was already on the NF wagon. Meaning Affinity and Carthrat minus dead Donut have suddenly caught my attention.
Affinity has suddenly jumped up with the rather quick Roukan vote and the somewhat lame reason. You don't give much conviction for the vote; feels like a prod. I also don't see the need for such a thing right off the bat in Day 3 because Roukan is usually responsive AND his case on Pesco is decent. It feels too much like you're trying to set up something out of nothing. Also, if we're following your reason, if Roukan has been tunneling on Pesco, Pesco had been tunneling on NF and we know the latter was wrong. Why aren't you at least mentioning Pesco's case Affinity? I should also note that your comparison of Pesco versus Donut in #146 seems rather short and doesn't seem to give a rather definitive reason for how Donut is more deserving of his vote over Pesco. Feels like distancing.
As for Carthrat, I don't get that much of a presence from him who also was on NF's wagon early. He is less suspicious than Affinity though because given a choice he voted Pesco rather than Donut in Day 1 when both were close on the wagons. However, the suspicion does go back up a bit because of the reversal of opinion in Day 2 leading towards a NF mislynch before NF rolled over.
Zakeri is still a distinct possibility as per my Day 2 case.
Overall, my suspicions have been pegged as Pesco, then Affinity, then Zakeri and Carthrat being interchangable. If Pesco flips Scum, I think Roukan is Town (deja vu again). 2 Scum "probably" wouldn't be bussing each other on Day 1, especially if one of them is Pesco. The added attention on Pesco would just get him lynched sooner rather than later and that would hurt the remaining buddy. If Pesco flips Town, I'd have to reevaluate Roukan as well as everyone else of course.
I like Serp's vote there and for all the nit picky concerns I've had with them, none of them are standing out as extra serious. Sodium is a bit unusual, but the switch from Nietz to Pesco on Day 2 reflects decently well for him. His having to confirm the vote on Donut when he replaced in feels neutral to me due to the deadline and the reasoning wasn't that bad.
