I frankly don't like pre-flip associations all that much but really xyzzy and Light do look like a good candidate for a scum team.
For one he makes it pretty clear that his reads are identical to Light's reads. The only difference is that Xyzzy was scum reading Trancend for a while, but is now calling it just TVT which could be backing off realizing he couldn't push a Trans lynch but that's aside the point. Both of them are scum reading both Light and Verdith, and to a lesser extent Blackstar but Xyzzy just calls it a potential bus.
Also the interactions within both of them are odd to say the least.
420 mentions how Light's switching on their Naomi read looks "ineresting", but then still says they are a townie so it's like just pointing out a slightly scummyish post just for the sake of pointing it out but then just throwing away any real meaning attached to the point of calling it out. (I realize my rants can make no sense and hard to follow, but trust me it just doesn't look right if you can get what I'm trying to say.) Also the rest of his posts with light in them are kind of just filler, not buddying, scum reading, town reading, or really interacting at all.
Also Light and Xyzzy just both kinda town read each other without really talking about it at all. The highest extent of interaction was
296 being a light defense of Xyzzy.
I also want to mention how early both of them get onto the Creature wagon and never let it go. Xyzzy was #3 and Light #141; Light's is only weird because he doesn't justify it until
448, and while xyzzy's does look like it would come from a townie as it was in RVS and later turned into a real scum read with some evidence being thrown into why he believed it. Also just a little bit worth noting how close their evidence against creature came in time, which funny enough in
381Xyzzy said it was derailing to talk about scum having daychat when it actually would come into play when scum can coordinate reads and having 2 similar reads in close proximity to each other is a bit of a red flag.
If I had to guess I would say that with this post this guy is currently the third scum.
In post 754, Seraphim wrote:Has KTS seriously not moved his vote since page 2 or whenever he voted my predecessor? Hoo boy.
Xyzzy hasn't moved since post #3. You have little reason to call out KTS and not Xyzzy. Kind of a double standard there.
Oh and lastly. I do not think Verdith will be scum with Light. It seams way to incredibly convenient that almost every single player scum reads Verdith but there is disagreeing with Light.
It makes most sense for 2 scum (Xyzzy and Light) to push Verdith and have another scum (I think Seraphim) to bus Light and frame Verdith with the bus. Again Xyzzy said he thought it derailing to bring up the daychat as it was irrelevant, but the daychat would lead to a well thought out scum plan which is what this looks like.
TLDR:
Verdith is Town
Light and Xyzzy are very likely a scum team.
Seraphim is also a pretty good shot to be in the scum team.
