Nah, that will work. Can you link me to your case on Silver Jan, or do I have to find it myself?

And yes I play to the crowd. This is a social game for entertainment purposes, so number two priority after finding scum is: showmanship.

I hope I’m not interfering with the Peeker/Giraffe/Pizza show if I interrupt to cast a tentative vote elsewhere.

**Vote: Blaster Master**

Blam has posted several times but, except for a few FOS charges and votes, most of his posts are tailored to be non-controversial. His votes and FOS seem wrong to me; for example he points FOS at Scuba Ben for vote flip-flops, but to me an attention-attracting vote flip-flop would not be a scum move. Blam’s vote for Silver Jan was equivocal.

I admit this case is weak, but it’s the strongest scum hint I have right now.  
Another possibility might be to vote peeker for his unexplained mood swings. @ peeker: Would it be rude to ask what drug(s) you’re on? 🆒

Oh yes peeker. There are only two outcomes: glorious victory and bragging rights, or shame and disgrace on our name for generations to come. It’s the only way I play.

I don’t do whatever the fuck is in between. It’s just not me.

Which question? Or was the question asked of Pizza? I can answer any of your questions, I think 😛

OK, two scenarios:

**Scenario A: peeker is not scum, who is?**

I have two soft candidates. **NAF1138** , for putting the third vote on **peeker** with “I’ve just got a great read on this guy, seriously it never fails” reasoning. Sounds defensible, since it uses the results from past games, but it’s not based on anything anyone else can verify. If he’s wrong he can just say “oh well, he had to break the pattern eventually.”

**Episkey** , for [this post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=14151225&postcount=393), which feels like scum cuddling to me. If he’s scum, he knows I’m Town, so I’ll react favorably to him reading everything I’ve said in such a forgiving light. Town on the other hand had every reason to be suspicious of my early interactions with **DanceCat** and shouldn’t be so quick to clear me of all charges.  
**Scenario B: peeker is scum, who are possible teammates?**

**TexCat** is a logical candidate, for his vote in [this post](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=14151629&postcount=459), getting the bandwagon back on **Mykbot** after **peeker** started gathering votes. This would actually be consistent with my vibe on **crackedquads** , that two wolves were near the top of the vote boards, so some wolves would push the **Krayz** bandwagon while another tried to get some Townie cred with a vote for the lower of the two.

The other candidate(s) are one of the avalanche of votes that happened about halfway through page 10 of this thread (posts #473-#499). **Inner Stickler** , **Silver Jan** , **Drain Bead** , **Meeko** , **lilflower** , and **Scuba\_Ben** all threw out votes on one of the three lynch leaders within the space of a couple dozen posts. I’d bet at least one of these is a wolf, trying to get a safe bandwagon vote in, possibly trying to steer it away from a fellow wolf. **Meeko** has posted only four times to this thread (did she get subbed out?) so jumping on the bandwagon could be a sign of a busy scum not wanting to miss a vote and/or not help their scummates by steering the bandwagon away from one of them.

I’m not getting a strong scum reading from Silver Jan, peek.

Looking at Tex and scuba. Interesting that both you and Giraffe think Tex is guilty.

Let’s look at TexCat first then.

Also, \*\*TexCat \*\*is female iirc.

We must celebrate females in mafia, or else we may as well just start hosting sausage versus pepperoni themed games. That’s not the kind of thing pizza wants. Even though I just hosted one.
