Anaylsis of Quad for now, because it's highest priority:
ISO 0-6: RVS and filler
ISO 7: Answers RVS
ISO 8: more filler
ISO 9/10: Attacks Equinox too strongly for my liking over an RQS. While I personally hate RQs's, I understand the motivations behind them. If they are truly rolefishy, I will refuse to answer and call the RQs out on it, but asking what people's favorite roles are in a game with no PRs except masons really doesn't strike me as rolefishing. It isn't at all helpful, but it's not fishing.
Attacking such an RQS is a good way to appear townie while still avoiding actually making any stands.
ISO:11 V/la
ISO 12: Backtracks on his opinion of a rolefishy RQS. Now it's a nulltell, while before it was being overdramatized, after nobody supports the agressive attacks on Equinox. Also noted that his attacks on Equinox were done with his RVS vote still on Nobody Special. A note I'm keeping in the back of my mind is a Quad/Equinox scumteam, especially if Quad flips scum. Voting someone else while FoSing partner is a common scum ploy to seem like they suspect their partner to get the townpoints upon an eventual flip, but not actually start any kind of wagon on their partner.
The rest of this post is very scummy.
Zed's post announced a hunch he had that was that Lowell and Antihero were a scumteam. While the reasoning was pretty weak, it was an attempt at scumhunting, noting interaction between players of the game....Something quad has not done at all up to this point. Yet he is attacking Zed for creating a weak case.
When all you do is tear down other's cases without building any yourself, you aren't helping the town, and there's a scummy motivation for this.
Also, this is a classic chainsaw defense. A attacks B, C rolls in and votes A.
Also a note about scum-pair analysis. Very useful. Maybe not as useful before any flips have been seen, but in a game with 4 scum, barring a large number of cross-kills, Town has at most 2 mislynches, and possibly only one. So yes, very early in the game buddy analysis can be quite useful, because scumbuddies are just getting used to how they are going to interact with each other during the game. This is when slips occur, and when buddying can be seen.
ISO 13: Buddying with Uite. "That's actually a really good question, I hadn't thought about it that way"
The continued attack on Zed reads to me as opportunisticly attacking a weaker player who is stumbling, not as someone who is trying to actually hunt scum.
Iso 14: Again, backtracking and then calling someone out for not posting content, when he has posted only slightly more _content_ himself.
ISO 15-17 are similar, so I won't comment on them at the same time.
Overall impression: Has done zero scumhunting, yet has managed to start a wagon on a chainsaw defense for my slot voting based on a hunch during page 6. Weak case is a towntell. No case is a scumtell.
Has been backtracking ever since the flak from his early agression towards Equinox.
Also I noticed a significant difference in the interactions between Equinox/Quad and Uite/Quad, however it is just a greater shade of the same thing.
Quad attempted to find random things Equinox did scummy, and there was no support for this. However Equinox's slot was more patronizing towards Quad than any other slot.
I would write this off as a relationship between the two due to meta, except there is an even greater correlation between Uite and Quad. When Uite questions others he is far more agressive and a lot less patronizing than with others.
Interestingly enough when i went to get quotes for this, I can't find it, but I know I got that vibe from this.
IGMEOY: Uite
Unvote
Vote: Quad
@Uite:
I read a game or two with Lowell in it. One he was scum and one he was town, I believe, but while reading both games I noticed his play was very anti-town.
Also I didn't check the votecount when I replaced in, I only saw that I was at L-2.
I still Like Singerscum better than quadscum, but given the deadline, I have no problem voting a 60/40 scum/town read.

I _think_ you were scum and it was in Coney Island, but I'm not at all sure, sorry.
