Okay.
I don't think Fanto and Zipped are scum. They had TERRIBLE reactions to the slip thing but I wanted to see Sorian's flip before anything else so I didn't vote there and I'm glad because I think it would have been a mistake and then today we'd have repeated us v Sorian and the game would be all but lost. The thing that got me more was Fanto going at ME over people actually voting for him. Zipped is always quiet. That means nothing. Fanto is the key there and while the vote-shopping is not a good look, going back over Fanto, though he's been quieter, he does not have the air of scumFanto.
You know who does have the air of his scumself? malus. And Pirate Bae's reads were F A K E. She started scummy, ended scummy, and did nothing in between. I believe I'm on the fake claim train now. Unfortunately Sorian called this out as me trying to set it up so it's gonna be suspect but I don't care. Check this:
There's no reason to breadcrumb that obviously that early that you are a cop.
There's no reason to reveal that you are one shot. Seriously. None. That's not bad play. That's a bad claim. That's the hole.
I believe that if she gets any pressure, she will reveal the gossips. That's why we need to apply pressure. She's not holding them because she thinks they're town; she knows they are. She's holding them as a hail mary again. And don't say this in the thread, but - if she gets too much pressure, she throws the game. SO LET'S MAKE HER THROW IT.
I believe this is also why Fran died. Fran would have chased her forever. Fran does not let go of a thing. I don't think we'll die today because she was ramping up to get us killed today - that's why she started siding with Sorian after votes picked up there. I don't know if they will kill Coolest and LP but it wouldn't surprise me, since they are basically confirmed.
Her reads do not mention the double vote on CS/LP. She ignores anything about Geno/Sparks and rac/VA and just says they are not active. That's not true and she knows more about the pairs than that. If Brazil/Flux are town, she sets up a possible future vote there. Most of her reads too are loose, easy, could go either way. These are fake scum reads. They are picking the easiest, most obvious, surface things and leaving an out in every place possible. The only teams she really reads as town are Kyan/Donna (see above, re: hail mary) and Ab/Fat. Look at her read on Fanto/Zipped and tell me that's not scum reading town:

If they are scum, maybe Chuggs and Sky. PB asked what the other train was and voted Xbro around it. She had them as "light scum" for reasons that made more since than the Xbro/Reki reasons but she didn't switch there.
