Okay, gonna do some VCA here.
Looks like we've got 7 voters on Almost50. That's a pretty big wagon and usually those are on town if you look at percentages of wagons that flip town vs. scum. So, drawing from that and concluding Almost50 is town, it would mean the voters are more likely to be scum.
At the forefront of the wagon we have Grumpy Cat. Pushing a town wagon is usually very scummy, but since they're doing it while Grumpy, there may be some emotional factors at play. I'm willing to give them a pass.
Next up we've got Hoopla (tremendous fan btw), the second vote is a nice comfy spot for scum to park on, so she could be scum.
Then, we have word321, as I'm sure we're all aware, the 3rd spot of a wagon is the one most often occupied by scum. This is 80% scum if Almost50 is town.
I lost track after this as my monitor's pixels are dead on this side of the screen.

Instead, I will move on to the other interesting wagon we have today; the Not Voting wagon.
Something_Smart is the sole occupier of this wagon, and it is a common scum strat to vanity vote your partner in an attempt to distance. My prediction is that Something_Smart and Not Voting are scum together, and hoping they can glide through the day while in this soft embrace. I see right through you, Aa.

Conclusion: [Hoopla, word321, Not Voting, Something_Smart] is the scumteam.

[Iconeum]

You misspelled gypyx in your scumteam

Phirst again.

[Datisi]

clover ebi, you should talk more today.

VOTE: gypyx

[Datisi]

am i conftown now? yes? okay cool.

[Something_Smart]

All hail our lord and savior Datisi.

Unless he made the 1000000 IQ play of colliding with his partner and then killing the one person who was arguing that scum would never do that.

[Grumpy Cat]

It feels like there's something I'm not in on right now.

[Grumpy Cat]

Oh, they're both 1s. IC lol

[Grumpy Cat]

Hoopla, I was your biggest fan and will never forget you. That kill surely implies a scummo in the top 3.

Umlaut didn't vote his counterwagon of Marquis (scum) until it was L-2 and there was no alternative. Then, later on, he pushed Gypyx over Almo. Starting here.

VOTE: Umlaut

[Datisi]

wait, does this mean people will actually listen to what i'm saying now? am i supposed to think before speaking? ughhh i was about to start throwing out takes with varying degrees of temperature to them, but i guess i shouldn't

[Grumpy Cat]

Hoopla was one of the few defending Gypyx btw. I don't think a scumteam of 2 including Gypyx opt to kill one of his only defenders over the top spots holding PRs.

Mod notes: Iconeum is V/LA until 9/8

VOTE: umlaut wheeee

Eh, this points away from him though. Marquis isn't a wagon and doesn't need to bus his scum buddy when he's already under serious pressure.

[Datisi]

how many bus votes do we think there are? marquis was a spicy scum PR to bus on day *one*.

[Grumpy Cat]

DrDolittle 8 - Townread this doc
Something_Smart 9 - Townread this Aa
Umlaut 21 - He's iffy. His actions point to him being partnered with Marquis. Marquis's actions point to him not being partnered.
Marquis 1 - DEAD
Datisi 1 - Town
Clover Ebi 3 - Hoopla was with me on him townslipping. Less likely to kill Hoopla.
the worst 3 - ???
Hoopla 5 - :[
Iconeum 5 - ???
Grumpy Cat 11 - :]
Gypyx 11 - Hoopla is a very strange kill for him to make.
word321 4 - ???
iamausername 4 - ???
Green Crayons 4 -???

Thoughts so far. Need to look back at the wagon dynamics for the others.

[Datisi]

OK.. tw says I'm being survivalistic... so I robably should quick!hammer? But what if Gypx is town? But what if I do NOT hammer and Gypx is Scum? Ok, what if I'm trolling and really don't care (which I am)??

ok, thoughts about this a50 could probably either tell or be told in the scum PT that the game wants his head, so might as well lolhammer a random townie and make sure you at least get the chance to use your 1-shot vig, no??

[Datisi]

ahhhh, i love being able to ask vague surface level questions and not worry about being called a scumfuck

[Grumpy Cat]

You're a scumduck

[Something_Smart]

The irony here is that that is a really deep and interesting question.

[Something_Smart]

Hoopla kill probably slightly implicates the oldies who would have known to be more afraid of her.

[Grumpy Cat]

Interesting, so meaning that implies either Gypyx is scum, or no one active and with a good grasp on the gamestate was in the scum PT, since they're more likely to give that advice?

[Datisi]

/shrug, i dunno. i haven't yet reread that part of the game to figure out whether a50 could tell himself that, hey the day was coming down to either him or gypyx, might as well lolhammer town!gypyx, secure a misexecute and an extra vig shot.

in and of itself, not ironclad by any means.
