There are a couple of things I don't undestand about Espy's vote here.

Non-conventional yet still clearly shows how Nick's actions are scummy. I see the case and agree with it.
Why is this the first time you've made an opinion on Nick?
What about the case is non-conventional to you?
Do you agree with all of it?
About the Nick case points:
I feel like the suspicions towards ABR are justified given Rampage's playstyle, but I don't think it means he's more likely to be scum if he sings songs about how confident he is in someone's scumminess, etc.
Nick's bizarre attack on farside is something I've tried to unravel since early day 1. I can't get on the same page with him. I don't know why, but it keeps going to a dead-end. So I've just gotten over it.
The instance of unhelpful play justifies some attention and pressure, but I don't think its scummy unless Nick had a lapse of judgment and didn't see how an obviously anti-town ignoring would look obviously anti-town. I think scum are more aware of avoiding those kinds of things in more scripted responses.
The first WIFOM defense looked normal given the context, which was the timing of his switch. I still don't understand why he made the switch when he did, but it doesn't really make logical sense as scum so I gotta back off that point. The second WIFOM is unreliable at this time because he thought she was lying town. Even though he didn't really explain that point, he never indicated she was scum.
The strange roleclaim looks like an alignment claim, but still unnecessary.
His opinion about Pom's claim being a lie did ping something from me. I still don't understand how he could balance thinking Pom was a cop with the situation she was in and not claiming cop. That is still an unknown on him. But setting up ABR's lynch looks like another example of reacting to ABR's personality, so null tell for that.
Overall, and I can't believe I'm saying this, Nick looks town.
