So reading back on this, yeah, Faddy was just shade heavy everywhere. I’m not sure there can be much to be gained with who he was scum reading except for maybe Fandorin himself who Faddy was fine calling scum but not actually voting for when he would have been a perfectly acceptable candidate over malus.
If Fandorin is scum as well then that opens up a few new lines, malus clearly is not scum in that case (unless they really shit the bed on this game) which makes his first few votes suspect, that’s Brazil, Natiko, and Fireblend.
I was looking at that rac vote and kind of scratching my head. It’s only one post under Fandorin’s so it felt like a cross post but it was 8 minutes later so rac has plenty of time to see Fandorin’s vote. I don’t think they’d be that blatant right there in the day phase and at that point, bussing should have been happening so I don’t think rac and Fandorin are scum together.
Going back to the three from above. Fireblend obviously sticks out a lot since he voted for no real reason. It was fine at the time but he ghosted from the thread after that so it’s just a hanging thread. Brazil’s malus vote was fine at the time (and he was the first on it) and he wore his Fandorin defense on his sleeve and that’s a hard pill to swallow imagining them both as scum in light of Faddy flipping too. That’s pretty much Brazil 100% refusing to bus in anyway possible.
Natiko is probably the most glaring vote in there. Where as Fireblend seems to have RL issues, Natiko got his vote on at the most opportune time to switch suspicion away. For how much time he spent scum hunting/reading elsewhere, that malus vote was sticky for a long time.
Other notables you mentioned were Sawneeks and L_P, I still don’t know what to make of LP, Faddy calling him out reads more like Faddy looking for an angle than bussing a scummate to me but it’s so hard to tell with LP not playing. Sawneeks is kind of dependent, she stuck hard to that Fandorin vote so I’d be curious to see how he goes first.
If Fandorin is town then I feel like a lot of this is lol because then Fandorin’s vote would also be a haven to save Faddy but then, I don’t see why the vote would have been split the way it was.
