Sorry I didn't have time to make a proper post during the weekend -- this thread demanded a proper read.
I've now read the thread, and unfortunately it seems to be taken up entirely by Sparks and his deluded nonsense.
Even if he's a townie, the I want him out of the game, for all he does is spout unhelpful, illogical crap. His reference to "HOMOSEXUAL NOMINATION SYSTME" [sic] encapsulates all the reasons why the Town can't win with him in the game. I completely agree with Yosarian2:

In fact, I do think he is probably scum. I think he really gave himself away in post 55. mneme speculated on whether scum could talk during the day, but Sparks obviously knows they can't. I think he knows that from his role PM. As The Fonz said:

It gets me off the hook of a moral dilemma- you see, your homophobic and personally abusive comments are making this game much less enjoyable for me, but of course if they were combined with a general appearance of townishness, I'd have to weigh the desire to get rid of you with my duty to my town-mates to search out scum. Fortunately, I don't have to.
I feel the same.
Apart from the Sparks debacle, the only thing of substance in the thread is the matter of the lurkers, of whom dylan is the worst. Yes I know I didn't post over the weekend, but I was active before and you'll see I'm active now.
So who to vote for? Since my vote is irrevocable, I won't lay it down just yet, but I can't see that I'm likely to do anything other than vote to keep dylan. I've made the point about lurkers (active or otherwise) and I'm going to nominate him first thing Day 2 unless there is a significant improvement between now and then. But my desire to get rid of Sparks is so overwhelming that it trumps even that.
