Someone mistakenly posted that the deadline was yesterday.
@Fonz - I didn't see any questions from Deer that I needed to respond to. I haven't gone through to compare Jack's post to the iso read. I'll try and get to that soon, but really it means that I now

why Jack is voting Deer, but I don't really agree with his read when I read Deer in iso.
I have gone through everyone's posts so far but the Fonz (last alpha), but I figure if he's scum, then it will be easier to catch him when we have a day or two behind us. I avoid any meta except for on people I have actually played with and Fonz hasn't seemed unusual to me yet.
A lot of lurking/low-contribution people so far. I'm not going to comment on everybody, just the things I thought were important.
MehPlusRawr: His initial vote on Sirdanilot sure looks like OMGUS. Outside of that, he's been quite defencive and hasn't put much effort into finding scum.
BV's jump on the Deer wagon could be opportunistic, since he seemed to be making it based on feel.
CryMeARiver puts a vote on MehPlusRawr, which seems OK, but I don't like how he only appears to iso on M+R and ignored the Deer wagon entirely. I need to know why he's not interested in even commenting on Deer.
Danakillsu: Interesting vote on BV. Makes clear he's not voting for Furcolow even though he wants to, and all his posts since then are petty arguments with Furcolow.
Diacria: Still think this guy is pretty scummy. All one-liners, no real scumhunting, except for meta, which is a nice way to pretend to scumhunt. His playstyle seems vaguely familiar, so I wouldn't be surprised if he's someone's alt.
Greenindirt: I don't like how he presented his vote on Furcolow. Vote appears to be based on a contradiction. I'm not sure how he makes the link between contradiction in this case and scumminess. It's not a bad vote for D1, but then he holds onto it until he gets a link to offsite meta. What is exactly he expecting to get from the linked site? Redeems himself somewhat with the M+R revote. The post about Meta on Deer seems a little odd though, especially when he later admits to not even understanding it or even worrying about meta. The last post makes almost no sense to me. He now says that he was wrong and Deer is not acting similar to the game he referenced. Then he states that he's not sure about the people on the Deer wagon, but yet he votes for him anyway. This seems like an easy way for him to get off of the wagon if he needs to or show that he wasn't fully on board if Deer turns up town.
Nicodemus: first comment on the Deer wagon is one of those things that makes me not get the Deer case. I don't really see ho the switch from "It's impossible to scumhunt in the pre-game" to "The game has started, we can scumhunt now!" is all that scummy. I think his role-fishing on Jack is what Fonz was calling out earlier when he said that townies should ignore breadcrumbing. He again calls out how deer is scummy, giving Jack's post a QFT, but strangely moves his vote in that same post from BV to Dramonic.
RichardGHP: Spends half of his posts attacking M+R for making a weak case (it's the beginning of Day 1, right?) and the other half talking about how difficult/wrong/annoying Furcolow is. No good vibes there.
sirdanilot: Yet another person pressing Jack on the "softclaim". Please people, think about what you expect to accomplish with a line of questioning before you do it. I must laugh. In the very same post he chastises M+R and shows how to quote, he fails to include who he is quoting in every subsequent quote. Spends way too much time on the Jack wagon and isn't making any sense with it. Has previously called out people for not scumhunting, but has tunneled so much on Jack that he's not doing any scumhunting. When he finally switches his vote to M+R, he has seemingly forgotten his case (or is too lazy to look it up) and tells us to do it. Sloppy or scummy? Why is Jack suddenly not on his scum list when he hasn't answered the questions that refusing to answer made him so scummy?
That puts way too many people in my suspect list, but I think watching these wagons progress will be pretty helpful. My vote on Boberz isn't doing anything right now, so I'll join one of the larger wagons. MehPlusRawr is scummier in my book.
