Looking at Amrun's recent posts regarding the Stevie wagon:
Amrun wrote:No PM here either.
Nocmen is on the Stevie wagon so I won't be getting on it - though I objectively see why the wagon exists and there are townreads also on it.
Uh, okay, it's because Nocmen is on the wagon. Bad reason not to vote Stevie, because, y'know, SCUM BUS THEIR BUDDIES SOMETIMES. (For the record, I'm not saying that I think Noc is scum, but even from Amrun's PoV, a scumread on Nocmen shouldn't be what stops her from voting Stevie.)

I see what other people are picking up on, but it doesn't really read as scummy to me. No textbook reason why... Just gut. He seriously reads like a newb, but he says he's not... I've been kind of distracted all day so I probably need to re-read the last couple of pages.
Wait, so now, five posts later and nothing new from Stevie OR Nocmen, and it has nothing to do with Nocmen anymore? It's because of a got townread on Stevie? That's new.

But overall, there have been a lot of flaws in his play, which people have picked up on - but flaws don't always mean scum. They can be a townie too loose with words that doesn't think enough - and my gut says stevie is that, especially woth his comment that he often has to post many times in a row because he thinks of stuff to add.
That shows he doesn't carefully consider his posts, which I think scum wuld do more.
I was legitimately surprised when he insisted he was an experienced player because I never would have guessed it.
I see people picking up on the flaws in his play and I probably need to evaluate them individially to see if they come from a scum mindset, but when I read them the first time, they just seemed like a series of dumb mistakes with no over-arching agenda behind them. Gut says town on Stevie.
I wil look again when I have time but I doubt I wil ever support this wagon. It has enough validity that I don't think the people on it, especially early, are scum fabricating cases, but I just don't buy stevie as scum. I would hammer at deadline, but not before.
And now, although Stevie's play is flawed and he doesn't consider his posts well (which you think scum are more prone to do, according to the bit I underlined), you think they're dumb mistakes, but not scummy. However, you say that the wagon has validity.

tl;dr- Amrun keeps changing her mind about why she's not on the Stevie wagon. I didn't before this, but now I find Amrun rivaling Stevie on my scumdar.
FoS Amrun
