This post is a bit unruly, but nonetheless is my analysis for the moment.
Problems
1) A vote or accusation against Battousai due to his questioning of the game mechanics or setup is not legitimate.
2) L needs to immediately explain why he asked the type of questions in #222 if he is an experienced alt (The Jester).
3) MafiaSSK was incredibly inactive, and voting for him is an obvious pro-town move and therefore carries little pro-town weight.
4) Is there 1 scum left or 2?
The worst thing about my killing of MafiaSSK is that due to his incredible level of inactivity, voting for him was an obvious pro-town move. Therefore, that move carries little pro-town weight in my opinion. Also, he did not have many, if any, established connections with anyone. Although it was a success, we did not learn too much from it. (Unless someone can point something out!)
Battousai was originally on my scumdar because a lot of the town was on his back, mostly because of the setup questions, but I know believe that those questions are illegitimate and that Battousai is pro-town.

n) Claus.
Claus was a very interesting read from the get-go, because he is currently an obvious neutral. His goal was to kill three people, and that's what he did, and though some of his posts were obvious manipulations of the group to increase his chances of success, he seems to be playing sort of pro-town. Or at least he is trying to be. @Claus: I would really like to hear who you think is the scum. I know you're busy, but please get back to me on this. =)
n) Battousai.
First off, let me remind you, a vote or accusation against Battousai due to his questioning of the game mechanics or setup is not legitimate. Those now alive who had the hardest time not jumping all over Battousai for this are MoS, Megatron, and L. He simply was open to interpretation of the phrase "the Akatsuki, the followers, and the rebels." The followers could be assumed as either an appositive for Akatsuki or a separate entity from it, because the grammar is confusing. The Akatsuki could involve both the followers and the rebels, or it could involve the followers, or it could involve neither. The truth is that we are all Akatsuki, and that the usual "town" are the followers, the "mafia" are the rebels, and there seems to be at least one independent in Claus. Battousai suffered from a lot of harangue from the town because of this, but after all of my read throughs, he does not seem scummy because of this confusion at all. In fact, anyone who legitimately still believes that Battousai is scum should ask themselves why, and if it is because of this setup argument, then you should reasses the situation. I see that both Megatron and MoS have admitted to currently understanding the misinterpretation, though MoS seemed very determined to make Battousai suffer for it (#172, one liner accusation).
n) MoS.
Was not very active for a while, and was extremely vehement against Battousai concerning the setup discussion. Post #172 by MoS seems to be especially dumb. I know that by "slip" MoS means Battousai's misunderstanding or inquiry into the setup, but MoS implied that Battousai was a third party or a scum party because of this slip. I see a very shallow correlation. Starting around #174, MoS had a scuffle with SleepyPanda (now SP) over Claus's kill of Ashmite, defending Claus's actions. That is neither respectable nor deplorable in my view, because although Ashmite flipped town and its sad that he died, what Claus did was arguably necessary to establish order. In post #206, MoS voted and assassination-voted Battousai STILL about set-up problems, only to unvote and unassassination-vote after hearing the explanation. Overall sort of scummy in my opinion.
n) Megatron.
It is hard to get a good read on Megatron. Although he was one of those harrassing Battousai for the setup discussion, he also thought Claus was a townie -- meaning that he bought that Claus killed Pain to keep the law. Also, Megatron pushed to see SSK's "information" that would lead me to want to kill SSK pretty badly.
n) L.
Right now, you really need to answer andersonw's question about your weird, almost game-breaking questions. =/ After inactivity, in post #121 you voted Farside for the same reasons everyone else was. in #165, acknowledged that there is really no use for the lynch besides if we have a consensus on a kill and the kill hasn't gone off, but also questions Battousai about the setup discussion. Defended Claus's second kill in #181, asks the weird questions in #222, and thinks Megatron is loyalist in #226.
n) andersonw.
In #125, defends farside against the mob forming, though he acknowledged that he expected his defense of farside to do nothing. I don't know if that is pro-town or anti-town. In #166 he was anti Claus (understandably, Claus is an indy) but wishy washy on Battousai. In 232 he was pro Battousai, anti SSK's lurking without info, and pro Claus lynch until he understands the validity in Claus's roleclaim.
Thats where I am on everyone right now.
My scumdar would be
1. MoS
2-4. andersonw, Megatron, L
5. Battousai
6-7. Claus, Tom
2-4 and 6-7 on the same level mean that they are very close to each other for different reasons.
Also, fairly important question here, is there 1 scum left or 2? I don't have a clue.
