And realising the above is a bit sparse.
8 people voted Chronos. Some thought he was scum. Some, it stands to reason knew he wasn’t. For those who thought he was scum, early votes are best. This is when they can still be discussed, and changed if need be.
You jumped on late Meeko - did you think Chronos was scum? If so, why the problem with me and zeriel specifically? Why did you vote Chronos?

#515 Defends his playstyle, vote is stayingThe things that stand out to me are:
@ Meeko: What did you mean by: “The death of Potter, and win-cons based on that have obviously changed” in #420? Were your reasons for voting Chronos substantially different to OaOW’s? Do you think Hardly is scum?
Hey, folks, sorry to be quiet early in the day. Three factors at work here: (1) I wanted to avoid the “Mason-lead-the-Town” syndrome that seems to affect Towns when a Mason is semi-confirmed; (2) I was kind of hoping that a Scum player would be foolish enough to counterclaim me; and (3) I had a real-life issue that absorbed more time than I’d expected. I’ll catch up and post today.

The wizards feared speaking, for speaking can lead to accusations. Perhaps they would just hold their breaths and hope for the best.

They are obviously practicing their non-verbal spell casting in preparation for the big battle.
**No one was saying anything and the Order of the Phoenix was just staring at each other, occasionally glaring, sometimes almost speaking, but not doing much of anything.
Until something unexpected happened.
They were on a (self-described) “well deserved” break from heavy conversation (heh) when they heard a cry from somewhere in the castle.
“No!!!” screamed one voice
“Avada Kedavra!!!” cried another.
The Order of the Phoenix scrambled back to the Great Hall.
And there was Meeko, laid out dead on the staff table.
He had not changed form. He was who they thought he was.
**
Meeko, who was Fleur Delacour is dead. Fleur had no additional powers beyond voting for the daily lynch.**
“What in the world?” said several wizards together.
It is still Day Five. Day Five ends in less than 48 hours.**

What happened?
Was that a mod kill?
Meeko had a vote in before his death. His vote stands. The vote for Meeko are now removed, since you can’t vote for a dead player.

No.
OK, I’ve finally got some time to sit and muse.
First off, we sure talked ourselves into lynching the wrong dude. Sorry, Chronos. Frustratingly, even as I go back to review, tilt’s posts still ping me as scum.
I think what threw us off is that Chronos came in from the outside, and may have had speculation from the peanut gallery in his head that the rest of us haven’t encountered.
I’m not entirely sure where to begin, so let’s just go through all the survivors one at a time. Sorry that this is unorganized and not cross referenced and all that.
Hardly jumped in the middle of the Red shenanigans, and opted not to participate in any of the speculation.
When he did show up, he pointed suspicion immediately at Meeko.
Didn’t show up in the Chronos lynch until the end. Gave some analysis and some suspicions, but no vote.
Has been active today: His thinking is a little hard to follow, but he is making an effort to explain his actions. Also, he’d been mostly forgotten about. I think if he were scum, he could have laid low a while longer and avoided any attention. Pinging somewhat town to me, but not sure.
ShadowFacts
He started the train on Red, way back in day 1, when Red was trying to start a pile on me. Pretty sure Shadow is town.
OneandOnly Wanderers
Third on the bandwagon against Omi, which is the most suspicious vote.
Had the fourth vote on Red, just before the false claim. I find this actually kind of neutral, because I don’t know if the false claim had been planned the night before. If Red came up with it on the fly, then OaOW’s vote may have been cover. If Red planned it the night before, then OaOW’s vote is more likely a town sign.
Third on the bandwagon against Chronos.
Jimmy Chitwood
Second on the bandwagon against Omi, which is a somewhat town tell.
Voted against Shadow when the Chronos bandwagon was in full steam.
Chipacabra
Town, obviously. 
Inner Stickler
He jumped on the red bandwagon after it was a foregone conclusion.
Started the voting against Chronos
Zeriel
A late bandwagon vote against Red.
Seconded the voting against Chronos
Meeko
Ah, Meeko. I have trouble getting a ping on Meeko either way; I can tell that his way of thinking of things is very different than mine, and motivations get lost in the translation.
Right now, my gut feeling is that he is town. And possibly also a crazy person.
Guiri
He made the first vote against Red after Red’s false reveal, which strongly pings town to me.
Storyteller
Pretty much a confirmed mason, so far.
So, my top candidates for scum, in no particular order, are OaOW, Inner, and Zeriel.
My top candidates for town are me, Shadow, Guiri, and Story.
I’m in the weeds about Hardly, Jimmy, and Meeko.
I really wish I had better evidence, but at this point I’m kind of operating on gut feeling and playing the odds. Right now, Zeriel is the one on my short list that just doesn’t feel town to me, so:
Vote Zeriel
Wait, what? Someone shot meeko while I was typing! I guess that takes him off my list. o.O
**Vote Count:
Hardly(1): Meeko
Zeriel(1): Chipacabra**
Huh.
My first guess would be Vigilante with the power to kill during the Day. If so, I say “Lousy shooting, Tex.” Looking for a silver lining, at least the rest of toDay will not be a Meeko-fest, so perhaps Town will get off its collective ass and get to work.
I plan to spotlight another player tonight like I did with OAOW last night and see what I come up with. I know who it will be, but am in the process of making dinner, so it will be in a couple hours.
Hokay. The scum knew that meeko was town. Since meeko was up on the chopping block, it seems unlikely that they’d spend a day kill on him. So that means meeko was killed by a townie or a third party, right?
Only assuming the day-kill was triggered recently. Probably, we can assume that, but… this is a closed game, after all.
Hm. Well, godspeed, Meeko.
I agree with Shadow; the most likely explanation seems to me that it was a town killer trying to accelerate the process.
Anyway, it’s something to talk about, so that’s something good. After Sanguine got on Meeko, Zeriel showed up with a fairly terse vote - the same pattern as with the Chronos vote: “I won’t be saying much, but here’s this point against somebody, vote.” Meeko was town, like Chronos was. Combine the low profile early votes on townies with the late votes on scum (sixth and final vote on Omi about 2 hours before the lynch @ #223; ninth on Skeezix, # 309) and you have a spotty record. Combine that with the push to out a mason and I’m with Chip.
Vote Zeriel
Well, crap, now you both stole my thunder. 
Zeriel is who I was planning to profile. Despite you jumping the gun, however, I will proceed.
OK, Zeriel… Day One:
Post 126 - Comments on Rysto’s opening post
Post 138 - Petulantly disagrees with Drain Bead about prevalence of scum slips
Post 188 + 189 - Fluff plus pledge to re-read
Post 223 - Votes 6th for Omi (for having a “bad-for-town attitude”), but disagrees with Drain Bead, who is also voting for Omi, while doing so
My thoughts: Not much activity at all. Takes a few shots at Drain Bead, who was of course Our Hero, which could mean something or nothing. The vote for Omi is bad, though. Well, not the vote, but the reason for it and the swipe at Drain Bead while doing it. Also, it’s a total bandwagon vote.
Day Three:
Post 311 - Casts the 9th vote for Red Skeezix, calls it a “boring” vote. What’s more interesting about it is what he has to say about Guiri. Guiri said: “so it is likely he’s a scum claiming 3rd party. Why? No real idea. Somehow to protect or draw attention away from his buddies. What do you think?” Zeriel’s response is: "I think that’s an awfully odd thing to say, but I’m sure we’ll find out when Red flips after the lynch. I inherently refuse to believe that names are going to be meaningful in any closed colored game, because keeping the names meaningful makes the game somewhat more likely to be breakable with a mass claim.
Your saving grace is I can’t imagine any scum motivation for theorizing that he’s a scum claiming third party. Nor is there a town motivaiton–it’s not as though his scum or PFK status is going to be a mystery after the lynch, so at most he bought someone one extra day alive even if he is scum." This reads like a smudge to me, i.e. “I’m not saying you’re scum, but that was really weird. Hmmmm.” The use of “saving grace” is interesting as well. Of course, Guiri was right and Red was a scum claiming 3rd party.
Post 319 - Dismisses the possibility of a bomb in a closed set-up.
Post 323 - Again dismisses the idea that Red could be scum claiming 3rd party. Is still wrong
My thoughts: Very little activity again. Another late bandwagon vote on scum, and another vote post that disses somebody else. Not promising.
Day Four:
Post 386 - Dismisses my [almost certainly wrong] suspicions of storyteller.
Post 418 - Votes 2nd on Chronos. Here is the whole reason: “I’m finding that Chronos’ statements about scum team makeup are/were a little too matter-of-fact and specific for me to be comfortable with.” It’s a bad vote without knowing Chronos’ status; it’s a terrible vote in hindsight knowing Chronos was Town. (Also says he’s going to be gone most of the rest of the week.)
Post 429 - Reacts strongly to storyteller’s mason claim, saying: "Your other half should NOT stay in the shadows, and in fact with one of you claimed, I am going to commit to voting for storyteller tomorrow unless his fellow mason confirms him.
You were IN monkgate, you know why it’s dangerous to have a mason claim sitting out where one kill can leave it in an unconfirmable state.
I am going to break one of my cardinal rules, now–the other mason ought come forward as soon as possible or this play makes very little sense. " This could be scum fishing for the other mason, but if so it’s amazingly obvious, and I’m actually inclined to give him the benefit of the doubt as I had a very similar initial reaction until I thought it through some more.
Post 434 - Responds to story’s sarcastic reaction to above
Post 447 - Ditto
Post 451 - Monkgate description
My thoughts: Actually more active than in previous days despite saying he would be away (this is a good thing, not a bad thing). The vote for Chronos stinks badly.
Day Five:
Post 519 - Votes for Meeko for an apparent voting contradiction. The vote post is very similar to his Chronos vote, i.e. slim reasoning and second vote on a target someone else started. Also contains this gem: “Y’know, I just find myself with not a lot to say in these games anymore.” :dubious:
This post is already long enough. Thoughts to follow.
Zeriel thoughts:
The voting record is extremely poor. Late votes on both scum we’ve caught, while simultaneously tossing a little dirt on other players. Early votes on two townies with slim reasoning, both times following someone else’s case. The other thing about those votes is that they’re…not sure how to put this…easy votes. That’s not the right term. What I mean is this: They are the kind of vote you can point to and say “Look, he did something really obviously scummy right there - Vote!” In Chronos’ case it was supposedly Perfect Information Syndrome, in Meeko’s it was seemingly contradicting himself. When I’ve played scum, those were the kinds of semi-legit things I would look for to hang a vote on.
Participation is minimal, though it did pick up a touch yesterday. Is here and voting, but not really contributing much, and not making any waves. Perfect scum “lurk in plain sight” strategy. The “I don’t have much to say” comment really rubs me the wrong way.
After that review, I am feeling confident about this one.
Vote Zeriel
