I think at least one of Mitsuki, Zakeri or Oarfish are scum.
Generally: Mitsuki vote parked on PX from RVS and kept her vote there for a very long time. It's relevant, so I'll get to that in a moment.
She has also been making many what I consider to be empty content posts. Here are some examples.
"No one seems a mafia"This is largely a glorified justification for her vote park on PX. It is not an actual case.
Here Mitsuki town clears some players (Bardiche, Raikaria).
Mitsuki town clears Raikaria again, and now also Zak. Now there's a list of three town clears.
Now, she responds to someone else's question, but she's evasive - instead of supplying the direct answer (which would be faster and easier), she writes a longer sentence describing how her list works. It's stalling.
Stalling is when in response to a question or challenge, you say something like "I already answered the question" or "reread my post". It's scummy because players who have lied in their posts don't want to repeat the lie. They unconsciously avoid it, in the same way that when people tell a lie, they often touch their nose or ears afterwards. Try it yourself and you'll see~ Another way of stalling is rephrasing the answer.
Basically in this scenario, I posit that Mitsuki actually thinks one of her town clears is actually scum, which implies she is scum herself.
Here's another empty content post. Mitsuki spent a lot of time asking people to answer her questions - to be fair, she did promptly respond to any questions people asked her. My feeling, though, is that of a person who went to great effort to appear busy but hasn't actually done anything.
It's reflected well in
this post. Serela actually asked Mitsuki about her scumhunting. Here's the quoted response:
You don't recall correctly. While it's true that it's unlikely for me to find much stuff scummy D1, I did way more than that. When you read it I can explain better if there's some point you don't agree with/don't understand.
It's scummy because Mitsuki is stalling; she didn't indicate any of the posts she considers to have been her active work and puts the burden of proof back on Serela. I have read all of Mitsuki's posts and I'm concerned.
Mitsuki hasn't made any claims so far this game. She voted for PX in RVS and kept it there until near the end of the second third of day 1.
At this time, she finally
votes for me. Her case is 'I think you should be considering current wagons. There's just a day and three hours left.'
With that she votes for me, despite the fact that my 'wagon' at this stage was just one vote. If she was wagon hopping, she should have hopped on to Raikaria's 4 vote wagon - even if she was town clearing Raikaria, her argument implies that 'any lynch is better than no lynch', so if you want to get a guaranteed lynch, why vote for the person who probably won't be lynched? It's a mystery.
But more interesting than that is what prompted Mitsuki to decide that 27 hours was not enough time to pick a new target.
It was when NNR voted Oarfish. She not only discouraged NNR to vote for an 'existing wagon', but avoided voting for an existing wagon herself. That's a big surprise.
Well, maybe not such a big surprise.
Reminder: Mitsuki
town clears Raikaria and Zakeri.
When she
voted for me, she was soft-defending Oarfish by telling NNR his vote was wasted.
When CF7 challenges Oarfish, she then
re-town clears Oarfish, and also includes CF7 as 'probably town (but terrible)'.
Zak then appears and
chainsaw defends Oarfish; with the excuse of CF7 has taken longer than an hour to respond. The specific line of 'good catch' just makes me ugh. It feels fake. He then
handwaves CF7's argument out of existence because CF7 has gone to bed.
Finally, Mitsuki then appears to make a weak case on me, but votes CF7 anyway. But only a few posts ago, Mitsuki said that she thought "CF7's reaction was terrible but I could also see town act like that."
Finally, Mitsuki was asking players lots of questions all game. She never asked me any questions before voting for me. In Justice Juice Mafia (the only one I played with her before) she was very actively scumhunting and tackling players like Dormio and Kilgamayan fearlessly. The Mitsuki here is comparatively quiet and complacent. I feel like her meta is off, so that's what makes me feel confident about this situation.
***
TL;DR; I think Mitsuki is scum because of chronic empty posting, stalling, lackluster and questionable voting, and suppression/quelling votes players voting for Oarfish.
(NB it's not the same as against Raikaria - Mitsuki just townlcleared Raikaria. She never pressured people to not vote Raikaria, but she did pressure people to not vote Oarfish.)
So in summary, I think there's a rat in amongst Mitsuki/Oarfish/Zakeri. From my previous experiences, picking the person who is doing the defending is usually more viable than picking the defendee.
