1. I don't see how Xdaamno being surprised at the flavour (rather than the fact that there were two kills) makes any difference. I certainly don't remember ever drawing that distinction myself.
2. Distad's 191 is an example of the kind of post where surprise can be expressed without it being a scumtell - i.e. it covered a number of subjects and included a vote, rather than just saying "oh my, I'm so surprised!". We're talking about creating strong impressions, and a post which contains only one point will make a stronger impression than inserting that same point into a larger post. The single-point post serves scum's desire to appear surprised better, and is therefore a stronger scumtell.
Interesting theory on the killings, though I think CES pointed out the potential flaw fairly quickly. I also couldn't see anyone other than scum/SK killing Seol N1, unless our vig is a serious loose cannon.
Good to see Glork and CES fulfilling the requirement for at least one pointless semantic argument on day 1, by the way.
