Vote 1: lends itself to peanut plus Mrkajz, plus one of HG or Biz
This is interesting to me. While the scum voting "random third party townie who won't get lynched" like peanut makes sense, I think voting for the 2nd place vote-getter is a likely scum strategy, especially early on. It lets their votes blend in with townies which makes them easier to defend, and in vote analysis it doesn't show up as a vote on a townie until that person gets lynched. That would imply that one of starseed or party elephant are scum.

They are my two top choices from before going back over the thread, so I understand if this gets discounted as confirmation bias (I know what that means also, PE). On the other hand, the weird mistakes from Lego (XXX) as well as the switch out and then starseed posting way less frequently than I would have expected from previous history suggests that there is something suspicious there. Two posters playing the same character who are both suspicious is a real red flag, imo. I won't re-hash my party elephant arguments here.

I have party/starseed as top choices, with peanut as a strong wildcard choice for scum.
