Time to give what was promised:

What's with the vote on the person who hasn't posted yet? I see two town reasons: to get an active lurker to post or to get an inactive player lynched before their inactiveness does harm.
I don't see the first as feasible, as DDD hasn't posted yet. Therefore you don't know if DDD has been active, unless you have seen him post elsewhere (which I'm assuming you haven't as you have failed to link evidence).
The second I see as more plausible, yet unlikely or at least premature. The game started on Tuesday. You made your vote less random today, which is just around 7 hrs over 3 days. We have 3 weeks left of today, so you are wanting them lynched now instead of replaced or even prodded to make sure they know the game has started.
What seems to be the most likely, is that you are trying to lynch a player who hasn't been on to defend themselves, and leave yourself defence of lynching someone who would be hurtful when DDD flips.
When I read this is bothered me. When I read it again it really bothered me.
This is quantifying an early wagon into a no-defense lynch. There is no questioning this is "LF, the scum, is voting for DDD the lurker-town to get him lynched
before DDD can play the game
."
Then as soon as it becomes apparent DDD is on the site, but not posting, the vote is downgraded to another FoS (making three).
Yet, later we get:
LG- He may not feel it now, but he may feel it when he wakes up. Also, my FOS's do mean something, as in I find these people suspicious. Actually I think I can say with some certainty that at least one person on the DDD wagon is scum, regardless of DDD's alignment.
Which leaves us with:
4 - Debonair Danny DiPietro (SpyreX, LlamaFluff, ZazieR, Lord Gurgi)
Zaz already has a FoS, LLamaFluff was downgraded, I, still, wasn't mentioned and LG also FoS'd for said vote.
Now, as is mentioned later its because I was the "random" vote when asked but in that case - why not simply say one of your 3 FoS's was scum? Why still add me in to the mix if my reasoning for being on this wagon wasn't scummy?
There's a couple of things that have rung as scummy here. First is how you go middle of the road for a claimed role, but leave room for her to be lynched if you get the support by saying you don't like one of her posts. Basically you said, "I have no read, yet she has acted scummy."
From defender to odd finger pointing.
However, the above stuck an off chord. The actively unexplained vote on me (after I had said I would lynch him in talking with DDD) getting no response in conjunction with the above sure does.
I've got an off-the-wall theory about how this all connects but it is fairly cookoobanannas and not quite baked yet.
Lets just say that if Batt flips a scum PR then DDD is clear. If Batt flips goon then its questionable. If Batt flips town then I need to be less paranoid because this reeks of maneuvering.
This definitely isn't my best case - because, at heart, I'm just quantifying gut and I know it.
However the play involving me in comparison to the rest of the wagon and the ardent early vote are off.
I'd prefer THIS to a pure-lurker lynch. However, without question I am fine. Also, to add spice to the pot - if Zaz IS scum I'd put Batt on higher than baseline to be a partner.
Far too obvious compared to your masterwork in WoT (yea thats right cross-game props for that performance).
