It's strange, because I really think the last ten pages have far more useful information to go on than the other 50 combined.
Now, getting back to what I was saying before Cream claimed and everything went a bit crazy, I'm pretty sure there was scum on his wagon. ashmite pointed out a fairly reasonable connection case between Rogue and Cream, and suddenly a whole bunch of people appear out of the woodwork to say "good point, ashmite! vote cream!"
Cream is now apparently confirmed town, so frankly, if you don't think there's any scum amongst {ashmite, goborage, incrediball, armlx, Surye, killa seven}, I'm revoking your scumhunting license.
I went after Surye earlier, but he seemed to see the same thing in Cream's claim that farside did, so I think he's off the hook.
ashmite did the legwork in finding the evidence against Cream, rather than just piling onto a bandwagon, which is a point in his favour. But then he later piled onto
my
wagon at its peak, saying that he "just read the thread after all the other wagoners". If there's anyone pretending to get what farside was talking about earlier, I'd say ashmite is a prime candidate.
armlx hopping on the wagon with an "I agree" and not presenting a case of his own I find a little suspicious, because I think he's a better player than that, but he was consistently after Cream throughout D1, so I think he's OK.
killa seven I fully expect to hop onto wagons without explanation, and he was also on Cream's case D1.
mr. incrediball and goborage are I think the most suspicious of the Cream wagoners. At the time ashmite presented his case (Thu Jul 10, 2008 1:56 AM by my time) neither had made a post since Sat Jul 05. That's four days without a post. But as soon as a remotely viable wagon appears, they're there within six hours to add votes to it. That, to me, suggests that they were actively lurking, waiting for a good opportunity to get a wagon going on a townie.
Looking at mr. incrediball and goborage's posts in isolation, I'm finding incrediball the more suspicious of the two. His attitude towards Cream on D1 was extremely fence-sitting:
mr. incrediball wrote:i'm still not seeing the case against cream. on the other hand, we need a lynch. i'm happy to consider voting him if someone can explain the case
Seems like trying to score townie points by being against the Cream wagon if he did end up being lynched, but still giving himself an excuse if he needs to get on it, if one of his buddies started to become a leading wagon, for example.
Then there's his reaction to our plan for tonight to have populartajo buy a star and clear Gremwell & TSPN. First he
tries to get us to just use a feather, perhaps hoping to kill tajo tonight and leave Gremwell/TSPN's alignment up in the air. When it's explained (again) why we're not doing this, he starts
questioning the sanity of feathers. Seems like he really doesn't want too many confirmed townies around.
And just lately:

Asking "who do we lynch?" is pretty obviously scummy, and the "is my vote on cream?" just doesn't seem quite honest, somehow. It's like he's trying to distance himself from having made the vote.
Anyway, that all adds up to an
Unvote, Vote: mr. incrediball
.
