My immediate inclination is to go Persivul if we're going in the hood.
pushing lynchbait because he wasn't townie (not because he was scummy, mind you, or because papa zito was scumreading him, but for a lack of towniness). it's an easy push to make and it felt oppurtunistic/taking-advantage-y to me
the redtea townflip doesn't really change that
i don't really townread persivul, but i don't really scumread him either; his flip onto redtea and then robert was kinda meh but i can't really fault him because i did something similar before deadline so yeah
although thinking about the dynamics of yesterday, persivul seemed kinda bandwagon-y, kinda chiming in to say that he doesn't see a reason not to lynch robert after papa zito had been going on about it for a while. idk persivul looks bad if papa zito is town imo but i still think papa zito's push was bad
in the context of both of them flipping town persivul is maybe a little worse actually i think because he flipped from robert to redtea and back to robert; if he's scum he doesn't care which get lynched; like it's kinda scummy in a vaccuum but i guess the reason why i don't scumread this straight up is because i didn't want a no-lynch yesterday and i would have voted for either towards eod too

do you think there's scum in the hood?
i mean there probably is, and scum knows about it already probably, so i can see why you think you aren't outing anything new but it's a little ??? to claim something sombody else said in private in the main thread
like i'm kinda thinking that if i were in bef's position i wouldn't want somebody to say what i claimed in the hood in the main thread on the offchance there *weren't* scum in the hood, even if it was likely that there *are* scum there
i think this incident, and this quote, kinda belies a lack of paranoia about whether there might be scum in the hood, which i think is more likely to come from scum who already know whether or not there is

i think bef is pretty townie, irregardless of the conftown thing
