In reading through Thing Fish’s postings he is among the first to I find that **Boozahol **was suspicious for the “canoodle” question on Night 0, and in post N0 #238 throws out the “ceremonial first FOS of the game” towards Boozahol.
Does Thing Fish follow up his FOS when the real game starts? No. Instead (Day1 #141) he finds Total Lost’s suspicions of ToeJam to be the more “egregious” example of possible Scum asking questions to mods of which they already know the answer. D1#327 he likes the cases against both Colby and ToeJam, but no longer mentions Boozahol Squid. Thing Fish tangles with Pleonast for much of the time over the next two game Days while also posting cases on MHaye and** Hal Briston**. When he finally gets back to** Boozahol**, it is only in the context of analyzing Brewha voters (Day3, #263). He still gives Boozahol a slight Scum lean. In doing so he says Boozahol was “weird and overaggressive on Day 1, Townier since.”
My impression is that** Thing Fish** wanted to draw suspicion on Boozahol, without it* really *drawing suspicion-- Scum team members trying to create separation. Of course maybe Thing Fish was just throwing out cases and leans he didn’t really have any intention of following, just to see what would stick. As someone else pointed out, Scum don’t care who dies, as long as it is not their team. But in reading **Thing Fish’**s postings I get the feel everything is measured. You can almost see the ruler marks in these posts. Odd he did not follow up on Boozahol.
There are other concerns that point to Boozahol as Scum:
- Vote on** Hawkeyeop** for making his N0 “unfair to Scum” comment on Day 1. Does he really think a Scum player would argue about whether a tactic was fair or unfair to Scum on Night 0? Poor vote.
- Complains to Mods about how Town roles don’t have cool names, being sure to refer to “us” as Town. Seems forced, phony light talk with hidden agenda of aligning himself with Town.
- Spends lots of time wanting to vote for the cult and then voted for Crys75 on Day 3 before deciding now Day 4 we probably shouldn’t go after the cult.
- Worries on Day 4 about what the Angel Town flip means for him. He votes Professor Pepperwinkle and then unvotes him. This whole exchange is troublesome. I have no problem with his initial suspicion of and arguments with Angel, who plays a great Scum game. I have no problem with his suspicion of Professor Pepperwinkle because I still think he (PP) could flip Scum, but not LUTHA. But I do have a problem with Boozahol’s voting self concern over Town concern.
5. Angel of the North’s death removes a major Boozahol accuser.
