Leaving yourself open to suspect everyone else is both a scum and town tactic, because if you are scum, you can buss (bus?) your partner without drawing attention, and as town you have to be suspicious of everyone.
As town, yes, you can be suspicious of players, but you also have to write people off as town and narrow down the scum suspects. Actions such as saying he finds me town, but still tossing suspicion on me anyway are simply not pro-town and are very easy things to do as scum. When I play scum, I have to hold myself back from doing that exact thing, because it's really easy to do and fits the scum mindset perfectly. Scum don't want to write people off, because they want as many possible available mislynches as they can have. If Sthar is able to convince you that I'm town, then I'm no longer a possible mislynch. It's better for him as scum to say he thinks I'm town but toss on a bunch of suspicion and let the town do the dirty work for him.
It's difficult to explain exactly why Sthar is scum. Like I said, he's played a good game, but there are a couple of things he's done that just make me positive he's scum. Tunnel vision, perhaps, but we're at Lylo. At what point do we start tunneling in on scum? This game has honestly been frustrating for me. I was correct about both FL and Alvinz to no avail, and I feel very confident I'm correct in my scum suspicions, but because the scum have simply outplayed the town in this one it's tough to nail them. Point blank, the townies in this game have made more mistakes and played scummier than the scum. Take FL and Alvinz for example.
Something to think about: When I said I found FL town and pushed my case on Sthar instead, both Sthar and Veerus pushed to keep pressure on FL and get her lynched, and Veerus both tossed suspicion on me and defended Sthar at the same time. Other than that, the two have seriously not acknowledged the other's presence in this game at all. That's a perfect match for scum buddies right there.
The fact that Mega was the vig makes things tough because we have to lynch correctly today and don't have a vig shot tonight to rectify things if we mislynch.
Also, I feel that if there is a doctor or other role that prevented a kill that first night, they should claim and also claim the player they saved as it would confirm 2 players as pro-town and narrow down our search by a lot. What's the consensus on this?

I've looked at every player in this game and made my decision. What's the difference between tunnel vision and zeroing in on scum? I'm not going to be like Alvinz and just say screw it and not answer questions or read posts, and I'm open to hearing arguments.
