Best way to find the buddies is with a wagon. With a wagon on Walnut, we force them to take a position on the issue. Until then, they can just kind of let it slide, and not have to interact much.
There's also the issue that Day 1 ran 19 pages, which is well past the point of diminishing returns for town, getting into the area of just making rereads harder. A quick Day 2 isn't really detrimental after that, especially when we have a clear choice for it.

You think you're doomed to be killed eventually, so why not investigate the people you find most suspicious to be helpful toward the town?
Investigating the scummiest players is not good cop play most of the time. Clearing innocents is in many cases just as helpful as finding scum (Read some of Yos2's thoughts on this in mafia discussion, if you want - he actually feels the main purpose of cops is to clear townies, not find scum). Battousai was definitely a good cop target, in my opinion. The only thing sketchy about Thesp having investigated Battousai is that Battousai turned up dead, which Thesp may or may not have had any control over.

Walnut naturally, and also Shadowgirl who I talked about earlier. Possibly Fark, depending on what I see from him and Thesp soon.

What is general scumminess? Why are short posts scummy? Were they low on content, or just short? Where was he wishy washy? I've seen him be pretty direct and committed on Walnut.

Why? Was there something wrong with his arguments from yesterday? They were all still quite applicable, in my opinion... justify why this was lame.
@camn and LG - why is charter saying all aboard scummy?
