I've gone all the way back to Day 1 to do some digging. One thing that stuck out to me was ECF's urgency to get a vote through, regardless of who it was on. Some examples:

Get some votes out there, put your reasoning behind them and lets get some discussion going.

By my count we are at:
-3 votes on Party
-2 votes on Active
-7 of us with one vote
That leaves 5 without a vote.

Devo noticed it too, and implied with this post that it didn't jive with him:

I've mentioned earlier that I think the scum's strategy has to revolve around forcing town lynches, and the best time to do that is early in the game when we're not really sure what's going on. The way ECF was posting on day 1 suggested he was nervous there would be no lynch. On day 1 there was a 14/17 chance of getting a townie with the lynch so obviously it would make sense for scum to be pushing the "Just vote, doesn't matter where but we need a lynch" agenda. The more town they can pick off early, the better their odds. In my opinion the spore is too unreliable for scum to base their strategy around it as once they send it off they have no control over who it goes to next. Hell, they might not even be using the spore at all. Just pass it around in a circle between the hosts to keep the town guessing.

-the early death post: I saw the way the tides was going. With Oling and Seb voting for me, I figured Bizarro and Pux weren't far behind. I figured Peanut would probably jump on at the end. Looks like that has mostly come to pass.
-GGG's reasoning for me (and the only reasoning I can find against me so far...) is for trying to divert from HG. Yeah, I did try and divert because I think he is town and everyone was hammering him - wanted to start some new discussions.

Had my vote on him almost the entire (game) day. Still high on my list.
Oling and Seb - would love to hear any explanation at all from either of you as to your votes. The silence is incredible. Everyone else - make sure you push them for an answer tomorrow if I do get lynched.

Of the current frontrunners, I'm not really on board with lynching mrkajz. I don't really see enough of a strategy in his posts to think scum. In my opinion hockeyguy is the most scummy, but my recent analysis has got me thinking ECF could be scum as well. Would make sense that the two scum with heat on them collaborate to vote for the other frontrunner. I'd like to see either get lynched, so I'm comfortable moving my vote.

And IRL, hope you guys all have a great weekend! ECF, I'm jealous you're going to the Canada game. Looks like fun!
