You guys have put so much faith in them that you have essentially lynched me without any ability to defend myself. Just because Seb and Oling have some “bad feelings”. That is absurd. And as will see with my death, all that listening to these people will get you is another town death.
I am also extremely wary of Bizarro who seems to be the biggest slurper of these “confirmed townies” and is constantly pumping their tires and reminding us that they are super duper 100% confirmed town.
I guarantee that at least one of the three is scum, and Bizarro is highly likely.
Stop letting Seb off the hook with not explaining anything. That is a total cop out. Putting blind faith in him when he hasn’t done anything to earn it is ridiculous. But he is getting away with it for god knows why – especially with his number 1 fan Bizarro in his corner.
As for my other scum thoughts – Mrkajz has been at the top of my list for a while. I don’t like how Peanut is flying under the radar. Lego I could go 50/50 on.
My townie thoughts – I generally trust Squiggs the most. Pretty sure HG and Dissent are town, and I wish they would lay off each other and work together. Devo I think is probably town.
Not going to vote HG as I think he is town and he will probably be more helpful to the town down the road than I will be.

So I feel like I need to respond to this. Saying I'm the biggest fan and "slurper" (whatever that means) of three confirmed town is a false representation of my position. Puxlut is confirmed town by her genetic anomaly reveal and lack of counter reveal. Nobody has really made a counter argument to this idea. I was a strong supporter of Seb as a townie prior, as I thought his posting style made him town. I took flack for that, and like to think I potentially diverted votes off him at that time. He is also essentially confirmed town by Mazrim, at least for now. Voting with and listening to the confirmed townies is good gameplay.
The biggest advantage the scum have in this game is their ability to communicate outside the thread and that they know who each other are. If I can identify a few other townies to vote with, I'm getting information I know I can trust the source of. That starts to counter the information advantage the scum have, and gives them less places to hide. I won't apologize for that strategy, as I think its sound.
All that being said, I don't see Oling as a confirmed townie. While I have him in my "likely town" pile, I wouldn't be willing to follow his ideas in the same way. I think pux and seb have pure motives, which makes me more willing to trust their ideas are sincere, even if they're not always going to be correct.
As for trusting Seb without hearing his ideas, he could certainly post more and I think that would be helpful, but just because his style is a bit odd doesn't make him scum. Honestly, if he changed his style at this point I'd be more likely to think he was turned by the spore.
