I don’t think so.

Here is the last vote count we have. I realize a lot happened after that – mainly Toejam made a big run – but we know that wasn’t scum-motivated.

Lakai (14 votes) - Inner Stickler (257), snfaulkner (295), RedSkeeziz(319), Plumpudding(647), Light Foot (883), Koldanar (900), Guiri (977), Scathach (1031), AngeloftheNorth (1078), Hockey Monkey (1102), Drain Bead (889), Raventhief (1109), Meeko (1082), jsgoddess (1129)

ToeJam (7 votes) - Sunny Daze (113), Hooker Chemical (184), sinjin (200), Sachertorte (534), Captain Klutz(796), Normal Phase (1011), Prof. Pepperwinkle (1057)

colby11 (6 votes) - Texcat (91), ToeJam (132), Hawkeye(350), Nanook(455), brewha (683), Pleonast (841), Suburban Plankton (1026)

And here is a vote count from a few days earlier:

colby11 (8 votes) - Texcat (91), Guiri (101), Meeko (130), ToeJam (132), Hockey Monkey (152), Lakai (154), Hawkeye(350), Nanook(455)

septimus (6 votes) - Enderw24 (243), normal phase (322), Colby(335), Captain Klutz(347), Hoopy(480), Pleonast (511)

ToeJam (4 votes) - Sunny Daze (113), Hooker Chemical (184), sinjin (200), Sachertorte (534)

Angelofthenorth (4 votes) - Zeriel(413), TotalLost(492), Boozahol Squid PI (546), jsgoddess (503)

The thing that strikes me here is the lack of overlap between those who were voting for the non\*\*-Colby\*\* candidate at earlier and later stages of the game. If there was some organized effort to save **Colby** , you would expect to see some of the same people pushing the alternative candidate in both cases, but I’m really not seeing that. None of the six people who were voting **septimus** at point A turned up voting Lakai at the end. And given the size of the **Lakai** bandwagon, it has to be MOSTLY town.

If anything, it’s more plausible to say that the **Toejam** wagon was organized to save Colby; we do see both **Normal Phase** and **Captain Klutz** jumping from \*\*septimus \*\*to **Toejam**. But we know Normal Phase was Town. So maybe **Capt. Klutz** is **Colby’s** scummate? Well, then where were the other five of them when **Colby** was twisting in the wind?

My first impression is that it seems unlikely **Colby** is scum, unless his team is trying to bus him.
