The emergence of the Nacho-wagon was very strange. There hadn't been any sign of it for a long time and it emerged very quickly. Plus, Nacho voted for me – his case was weak, in my opinion; it basicly based upon that he thought my catch-up was shallow and I was concerned about the Deadline. His other scum/townreads were weird too, I think. At that time there was no votes for him and I don't think
five players
found him scum only because of his weird reads. So, there must have been at least one scum on that wagon.
Nacho and House voted for him (2 minutes' difference!), Luca joined about half an hour later. Shinobi unvoted Luca 12 minutes later. A half an hour after Luca Klingon joined the wagon, Shinobi claimed a hammer intent (and told he did so only because of seeing no other alternatives). After a realtively stalling phase of the game, EvilKitty hammered (here about a day passed).

Been thinking about it, and I'm really liking an aphix/Shinobi team. Half the scum team on the wagon, half off sounds about right, and it would explain a lot about the early game interactions between the two. Not to mention their similar approaches towards me.
Just a lot going on there that makes me want to lynch them both.
I too think it's possible. Especially Shinobi's hammer intent was scummy, in my opinion. I mean, there
were
other wagon possibilities: Aphix, who was at L–1 before and WBO who was a counterwagon of Aphix. It was scummy not only because of this reasoning – but also because that hammer didn't happen!

I'm going to make a more detailed reason why I believe he is scum when I wake up or after work tomorrow. A lot of my case is behavior and such, but it's all listed in my ISO if you want to check before I have time to make a detailed case. His meta tells are off between games he's mimicking to what I believe is his towngame as his scumgame. Most of it is how he's going after lurkers, his buzzwords and how he's so willing to sheep.
Having read this I was about to refute your reasoning because he hadn't been on the Nacho-wagon, but I've just checked and he was not here at all (no posts elsewhere on this site as well). So, not voting Nacho is
not
a towntell in intself.
(Before any of you check it, I'm giving you a shortcut: I was away from the site too, but for a shorter time, though. I didn't ruled out Nacho as a possible scum, though he wasn't my strongest scumread.)

Just read the end of day yesterday. There isn't town motivation at all with what happened.

Thanks to Regal's posts, and WBO supporting them.
Really, you think I'm scummiest, most likely to be scum, but you state shinobi is scum no matter what and you've already paired down groups? No. That's bullshit.
An OMGUS-like post first and sheeping his counterwagon next? I wouldn't call it a towntell.
Also, WBO's
725 is terrible. He says something like "Aphix is scum, Shinobi is null" – and votes for Shinobi. Are they partners? (If so, Aphix must be bussing.)
Though, Klingon's
728 is very weak too. Sheeping vote, no content?

Anyways its 6am and I randomly woke up in the middle of the morning so I'm just going to go to sleep. My cat has decided to want to play fetch and run ontop of me and she hurts when she does it so I'm going to see if I can make her fall asleep again with me.
Olololololololol! Our cat is sleeping right now and I bet he'll be awake in the middle of the night and meow-ing loudly.

Conclusions: examining "separately" the four major things mentioned above:
As for (1) – the emergence of the wagon –, the most scummy votes are House and Klingon, also Aphix (naked vote for a wagon-start and he was the counter-wagon), but I think we should add Shinobi too.
As for (2) – House's post, one scum is on, one is not –, the most possible scum on the wagon is Aphix. (Klingon is the second most possible. It would be a bit lame if both scums had been on the wagon, but who knows?)
As for (3) – EvilKitty's post – if WBO is scum, Shinobi can't be his partner – in this case Shinobi needn't have waited with that hammer at all.
As for (4) – WBO's, Klingon's and Aphix's Day2-start – WBO and Aphix were terrible, Klingon was merely strange but that didn't give me town-vibes too. Shinobi's Day2-start is not particularly scummy.
So, summing everything, Aphix, WBO and Shinobi are the most possible scums. Because of (3) I don't think the latter two players are scum together but both of them can be a partner of Aphix ( (1) (2) and (4) ), I'm voting him now:
VOTE: Aphix
