In this game, it seems like a good scum tactic would be to build a plausible case against anyone not on their scum team, and let others jump on board agreeing with it - I know I’ve been motivated by the cases others put together, if I can find something plausible in it.

I remembered this post from yesterDay, I thought it was quite scummy, and thought to do a review of Cygnus, I’m quite convinced he’s scum. Take a look:

- all bandwagon votes, on solid wagons: D3: 11th on Prof.P, D4: 13th on Diggit, D5: 13th on Prof.P, D6: 5th on Inner, 19th on Cookies
- subbed in D2, 19 posts in total  
D2#1121 Just checking is, has been following all game (so no excuses about catching up)  
D2#1300 General comments, Johnny is townie, Cultists are harmless, Meeko is weird and this gem, which is the start of a trend, Promise #1:

D3#52 Likes ToeJam as lynchee, comments on Drain’s suspects, Prof.P. also suspect:

> Also we should keep in mind… **Drain Bead** was suspicious of a few people before getting killed in nondescript fashion - **TotalLost** , **BillMC** , and **ProfP**. So, he/she may have been on to something and struck a nerve. Also, all three of these were among the last to jump onto the \*\*brewha \*\*bandwagon, making a pretty safe vote at the time.

D3#64 Comments on Sario’s death, too late to be a result of a Night power  
D3#68 Gloating about how quickly townies are falling

> PS - Man, our blue power roles are droppin’ fast here. I don’t remember the ratio of vanilla to town powers, but it really seems like we’re losing a disproportionate number of them.

D3#818 Happy with Idle lynch, votes Prof. P, mild suspicion of Bill, Promise #2:

> BillMC - mild scum lean on this, not exactly sure why, have to review all the old posts again. I do recall the blanket throwing of suspicion on all the new subs though…

D4#378 cult is harmless, still suspects Prof.P. Will look at Boozy or Diggit, or else revote Prof.P. Promise #3:

D4#379 Comment about switches and giving scum more info  
D4#530 Does not vote Prof.P. again but votes Diggit over Boozy, simulpost with Sunny Daze, when it was apparently 11-11:

> I do get a more scummy vibe from him, and can follow that case a little better. The case against \*\*Boozahol \*\*seems to rely a bit on a personal meltdown, which may not be the best indicator.

D4#582 Byes to dead peeps  
D5#16 Wonders if wolves had results on Mafia, to even the score, or got lucky. Assumes Bill was killed by Batman, Promise #4:

> I assume the dead BillMC is a result of Batman - I’ll have to review the roles to see what the other options might be.

D5#18 Wolves can’t kill twice, maybe Whelp was protecting  
D5#353 Votes Prof.P., maybe Pleo theory is right, not sure where he stands on cultists now, since none have died, Promise #5:

> Aside from that, I hope to have some time this weekend to dig into the posts some more, and try to come up with a scum case.

D5#481 Farewells to dead peeps, nice to see a cultist reveal, Promise #6:

> So, time to dig in and find a new prime suspect - I’ll see if I can make sense out of some of the other cases people have brought up. I’m not so good at figuring out scum on my own, especially in this complicated game, but hopefully I can come up with something useful.

D6#127 Byes, has been following along, case against Inner makes sense, votes Inner, Promise #7 (note the wording “come up with”, the same wording Boozy used):

> I think I’ll have some time tomorrow to read up on Texcat and a couple other people, and see if I can come up with some new suspects.

D6#195 Responds to vote from Klutz, defends vote on Diggit, hopes vote on Inner is good  
D7#217 Votes Cookies, doesn’t buy bomb idea, smudgy Promise #8:

D8#45 wonders about NK choice, smudges Johnny for being alive, Promise #9:

D8#105 To Johnny, explains suspicion, but was wrong, Promise #10:

> I’m curious to see the reaction to the khameleon claim, and feel the need to review Hawkeye and Koldanar some more. Hawkeye has been getting low-level suspicion all game, so maybe there’s something to be found there.

So, from here I see no scum hunting, lots of safe bandwagon votes, a life-saving vote on Boozy, some choice words about the game, lots of unfulfilled promises - some pot-stirring, some smudges, others possibly indicative of busy life, but little or no follow-up - all hollow posturing.

I’ve a one off on Texcat, will move to Cygnus if this gets more traction.
