Alignment indication wise beetlejuicing itself is null. Town is just as interested as mafia to find out why they're being suspected, and it could've been a coincidence and she could've been in the middle of catching up. But she could've been an active-lurking mafia too.Show"I used to think you had this elegant-trolly, minimalist playstyle. Then I realized the playstyle is ~Lazy~

This is who I think is most scummy at the moment.
VOTE: curiouskarmadog
Why? None of their posts have seriously moved towards scumhunting. In fact, to the extent that they've expressed theories on how to scumhunt, they've done the opposite -- or even worse -- not followed through on what they promised/gave the illusion of doing. First:
Earlier I asked why Kawaii and not Hsu? If they believed me, why not vote for Hsu? Sure it's early and essentially a random vote, but I asked for explanation directly in post #39 and got crickets. Like, the whole idea of starting a flimsy wagon at the beginning was to generate some conversation about what scummy behavior is...but there's no effort to actually discuss that behavior.In post 33, curiouskarmadog wrote:
Im sold.In post 21, Bub Bidderskins wrote:In post 17, KawaiiKame wrote: It begins
So right off the bat I'm somewhat suspicious of both Kawaii and Hu Tao here. This is admitedly somewhat weak because the game just started, but both of these posts are really fluffy, non-commital and not progressing the game. Now, is this progressing the game more than a random vote? I dunno, but the reason why "random" votes are a thing is to create an initial paper trail of some sort...they aren't really random, so it immediately puts the scum in a bit of a pick of whether or not to bus. So far, these posts are just the most flimsy, "hey I'm here but not actually advancing the game" kind of posts.In post 18, Hu Tao wrote: Hello everyone
I'm, going to go ahead and VOTE: Hu Tao
Mainly because it was another post right after a fluff post by Kawaii. Kind of reads as scum thinking "okay, need to say something now to not look suspicious" while being non-comittal.
Also going to put afinger of suspicion on Kawaiifor similar sorts of reasons, but I think it's very unlikely that both Kawaii and Hu are scum. No way a scum comes in right after their buddy to make an almost identical post.
However, Im going to
vote Kawaii
I hate finger of suspicions...its like getting credit for a vote without having to do anything. If Kawaii flips scum, this looks sketchy.
consider this myfinger of suspicion (any hypocrisy) on Bub
Second...
Making some vague allusions to the idea that Andate is scummy with no follow-up or serious pursuit. Just trying to sow generally mistrust on people in low-cost ways is scummy. This makes me think Andate is town -- conditional on curiouskarmakitty being scum -- because this is way too weak to be a bus. Also, curiouskarmakitty themselves said that fingers of suspician are cheap because it's a way to get credit for suspecting folks without doing the work...but here they are doing something very similar. I know they were intentionally hypocritcal earlier for a laugh (I don't read that as scummy) but this seems actually hypocritcal in a way that would be beneficial for scum.In post 96, curiouskarmadog wrote:

The wagon's already going my friend. Maybe try actually scumhunting instead of saying that you're going to do it.In post 97, curiouskarmadog wrote: also lets get this wagon started...

I'm not rocking the boat too much because I'm content with where the game is going rn. I think CKD is scum.In post 376, Glitch wrote: Hu Tao's ISO is full of a lot of questions and probing but a little lacking in actually making a point anywhere besides saying they're suspicious of curious for the simple reason that curious didn't follow up their suspicion with a vote. HT has maintained that as their primary tunnel so far and is still on that train.
KT's ISO has very little actually contributing and seems like he's just coasting without rocking the boat much.
Andante ISO opens with silliness and joking around. She gets wagoned and then is like, "tf? why?" but is pretty adament in defending herself. Gives me vibes of town getting scumread and being pissed and annoyed about it; scum wouldn't be so defensive imo. Andante can be town for now.
Kawaii ISO meta hunting Andante right off the bat, I appreciate that. The whole ISO gives me soft townie vibes and I'm good with looking elsewhere for now.
Andante, Kawaii, ballpoint, and Bub are in my townie basket.
Hu Tao and Kitty are in my scummy basket.
