I find that concerning as well. The thing is, I can't discern if it's scum shifting where the winds blow, vs town that's confused etc. Bulba isn't my primary lynch target because of that.

Although our main goal is to lynch mafia, isn't this bad/dangerous either way. If I were to be at what I assume will be final 4 (unless there is a save/no lynch/no night action), I would rather have a potentially town radmann than a potentially confused town Bulba.

while we're all talking about radmann and while I do think he is pretty scummy, I think Bulbazoor is always at a very opportunistic position on both the drixx and the radmann wagons

It's debatable. I'd rather have strong players at LYLO/MYLO. Ultimately, I'd prefer players who are at least posting enough so that I can get a read, ergo I prefer to keep Bulbazoor over Radmann9 (I also see some small reasons to lean town on Bulba that are lacking from Radmann).

While I find your assessment reasonable, I personallly vacillate between opportunism and confusion on that slot. Push comes to shove, I'll vote Bulba, but I would prefer Radmann.
Bulba did come right out of the gate attacking me as if trying to disperse any suspicions on himself by instantly pushing it onto me. It felt weird at the time and still made me have suspicions on him. At first I just thought he was new and trying to test his wings so-to-speak, but then his votes on which wagon to ride kept changing with the wind. From me to juckter to me to drixx and so on. If Bulba would provide an actual in-depth analysis on his reads other than 'he's town, he's scum, he's null,' I'd be willing to move onto other targets. The fact he has yet to do so just feels scummy. Even after being asked to provide some reads.
I will not lunch anyone on the LQ wagon and will assume they are town today. Scum can only come from the last 3 people, namely the Drixx, radmann and Bulbazor
Radman seems to be to derpy. I do not think scum would act the way he is acting in this scenario. Its not even too scummy to be scum, its pretty much #YOLO
Drixx for me is dismissive and is trying to hard to sound townish. He's trying to sound authiritative
But Bulba is my main suspect today for the reasons I have mentioned before. His wagon placement is opportunistic. Not to mention Ilhom saod he'd hammer at deadline when he could have easily hammered. That is grade a stalling
Starngely, I really can't see why scum in a 1 scum-all town would act like he's acting. He sounds like he's throwing caution to the wind and throws shit to a wall to see what sticks. Its not cold, calculating scum

Doctor, you may be getting replacements confused. I didn't see where ilhom said he would hammer. I did see this if that's what you meant? That would be Drixx not Bulba though.
To sleep. I already said what I have to say. One person in the game has a town read from me. Scum could literally be anyone else.
I am; however, amused by how everyone who was voting for LQ yesterday is absolutely sure that his partner has to be among the ones who weren't voting for LQ.
I'm also greatly amused by the outright dismissal of my logic and the assumption that theirs has to be correct. Either line of thinking could be the correct one, and there's no objective information available to decide between the two. It's simply that the people on the wagon don't want to be in the suspect pool.
As I said yesterday, LQ outed himself as scum super early and had I been his partner I'd have been on his wagon and driving it. Sometimes getting rid of a liability increases the chances of winning more than extending the game reduces them.

Consider the implications of what you're saying here, Drixx, and ask yourself if you really believe that to be true - because from my point of view, that statement is both patently false and ludicrous.
I think competent scum would have at least tried to start a counter wagon. If i can recall, we had a player people also thought was scum (me), a possible Lq Partner (JTC) and numerous lurkers who could have been made easy counter wagons for LQ yet non had happened
There's no objective reason to prefer one line of reasoning over the other. That means that people are choosing how to sort subjectively. I believe it's more likely that LQs partner is on his wagon just because of how obviously scum that LQ was. Assuming that the remaining scum was on the wagon, they have a series of fairly easy mislynches in front of them, wouldn't you think?
I don't agree with you. I also don't agree that LQ was so obviously scum. You had the benefit of having the flip when you did you read through
We didn't. I read through under nearly the same conditions (minus the flip), and I would not say it was obvious. I was a good lynch, yes, but not obvious

This. Drixx wasnt here Day 1. There was uncertainty of LQ scum. In fact people thought he was a deadline lynch
