Anti, if you don't stop spamming, I'm going to break your fingers. One at a time. With a hammer. And I'll gouge your eyes out.

mastin, do not piss in my Cheerios. >:(
Aeronaut was not town and it makes me feel good about myself.
Just let me have my SK flip, dammit!
The resistance to ika's wagon makes a lot of sense given ika's role. It's incredibly powerful in that it's like a Mafia Roleblocker and a Mafia Rolecop combined into one role. Not only would ika be able to stop the action, he would also be able to gather quite a bit of intel on what the action actually
was
through the paragraph the target would be forced to write. Whatever the other power roles the other scum have, I can't imagine any would be as valuable as ika's. As such, I think there's a significant chance of finding scum concentrated on the counterwagons,
specifically
theamateur wagon since it never was very well supported and it just happened to be on someone who wasn't saying the "right things." At its peak, theamateur wagon consisted of these: theamatuer (6) - The Bulge, Aeronaut, Seraphim, Brian Skies, Gilgamesh King Of Heroes, PeregrineV.
Of those names, the one I think
most
promising for another scum flip is Seraphim.
As Antihero's already stated, the überstrong townreads on us and pirate mollie were "overdone." We were both on the ika wagon for the better part of the day and actively pushing it
and
I had already expressed reservations about theamateur wagon at that point. Disappointingly, that never actually translated into tangible results. Seraphim never made an effort to reach out to either of us on theamateur read in a meaningful way, opting instead to appeal to Psyche (
Post 756) to resuccitate the wagon as ika's was gaining traction. He treated Anti and I with this odd mixture of compliance (
Post 566) and antagonism (
Post 604) that doesn't quite fit with either the screw-everyone-else-I'm-a-badass-scumhunter and let's-get-shit-done-I'll-settle approaches. It ended up being this weird in-between that was dysfunctional and didn't really work optimally on either ends. It also didn't involve a lot of voting for ika, which would have been the natural product of sheeping townreads. All this may have been forgivable if the case on theamateur was ever really good, but it wasn't. I think the most likely explanation is that all Seraphim's actions Day 1 were calculated to help ika's chances of survival and push a mislynch on town. It certainly makes more sense from that reference frame than from the reference from of "I have this really strong townread on pirate mollie and Heartless" because he then proceeds to ignore mollie altogether and have this weird will-they-or-won't-they with us.
VOTE: Seraphim
This is the play today, gentlemen.
