Let's get started on the scummiest player in this game Mala.
Mala post are reactive and she hasn't shown any signs of actually figuring out the game. She has not built a case on anyone and the only post she gave a scum read to is this one.
It also seems convenient that it follows gamma's vote on Umulat.In post 84, Malakittens wrote:Oh.
VOTE: Umulat
This is a good place to start. Your intro post reminds me how you started our last micro.
Post 269 has her throw suspicion on gamma when she is compared to gamma by IO. Mala also accuses gamma of sheeping her reasons. It is entirely possible that gamma had those reasons before mala as he was first one to vote on gut umalet. What pings me here is she didn't switch her vote to gamma at this point even after build up on gamma.
Also after reading the early parts of the game again.
It's not above gamma to sheep a scum buddy for shit reasons. So if Mala flips scum I will do a complete 180 and slam down on gamma.In post 893, Gamma Emerald wrote:popopo (I don't like the way he's leading my lynch, feels like he knows it's a mislynch)In post 892, BuJaber wrote:List your top 3 lynchees in order please with reasons if the reasons are not in your ISO

UNVOTE: Nofs
So in short I think it's pretty obvious what happened here is she voted Nos slot to get a better read on him/to make him post more content. Then when two others (pop/lapsa) sheep her, she suddenly doesn't care about nos anymore and drops the vote then starts attacking the people who sheeped her. This isn't townie thing to do.
This shows
1-That her reasoning to vote nosf wasn't very strong anyway. (she never claimed it to be through)
2-She really doesn't care that much about figuring out nos's alignment. Because Popo and lapsa votes would of added pressure to the slot.
3-Neither slot has any bearing on her read on nos at all. They don't post much content to think if one is scum they are lynching town over bussing.
4-She never intended to start a wagon on nos at all.
Potential Motives
1-Could be concerned about her image with two low content poster sheeping her on a vote that was low content.
2-Wanted to appear like she pushing by voting nos. Quite obvious she didn't care about the nos read.
3-Felt like it was dangerous to stay on Nos so wanted off and to feel safe.
VOTE: MalaKittenslike NosI will go in to detail I didn't think I would have to go into.
Basically I'm saying if she wanted to form a read on nos she would of keeped her vote on him to pressure, engaged with him after that point despite taking her vote off him, the normal stuff to do when you want information out of a slot. This makes me think she has the information already on nos's alignment so she's not concerned about getting the information.
Since the slot was in no danger of getting lynched, even if she scum read those two (which she didn't) so there was nothing to lose. Also the line of thought "a scum read is voting someone I'm voting, better unvote." Is trash for two reasons. One they may be bussing then all your doing helping their cause, two you may be wrong on the scum read. It better to judge the reactions and then unvote so you get some information. So will only people that don't think will follow nos's line of surface level thought. But the fact she never really followed up on nos or show indication of looking into nos; While over explaining why she wouldn't be on the same wagon as lapsa and popo, (while being unvoted) despite claiming to be unsure makes me think it's the scum motivation rather than a town with bad logic.
Finally I think she is concerned with her looks because she didn't want to be on the same wagon as lapsa/popo. If people start looking into the wagon (it gets big enough) Her's was the only vote with substance to start picking at. (mine was rvs,lapsa and popo were blank votes.) Which is bad if you are scum. If you are town you shouldn't really care about that and be only concerned with lynching scum/getting information. Also this is speculation but if one of lapsa/popo is scum that would give extra reason to do this.
Her timing and the way she handled he jump off awkward which makes it look artificial to me.
