Elias didn't vote Korlash, on the basis he was looking for reactions. That isn't scummy. It's a complete and utter nullity. I admit, the reactions thing seems odd given the delay, but I don't see why it is scummy.
It's the same type of thing that caused my vote to go onto Korlash earlier in the day: strange actions that are backed by implausible explanations.
Any reactions he might have wanted to draw out from his gonna-vote-for-Korlash-soon announcement should have been apparent in the six days of real time that passed since he first did it. Every player in the game except AlyG has posted since that announcement. What possible new reactions could he hope to draw out by doing the same exact thing that no one reacted to previously? It just doesn't add up.
So I decided to fire a shot across his bow to see what would happen. Lo and behold, suddenly he's full of ideas and contributions to the game
Here's a fun fact about post 1582: this is Elias's ONLY post since D3 started that was not made in a direct response to a question posed to him, or a response to suspicions levelled against him. His case against Korlash was only offered when he was directly asked who his first choice of scum would be. Elias is not scum-hunting. He is engaging in self-preservation. His only contributions to hunting scum have been offered in order to distract from the case against him.
I note that Elias's lastest post is covering familiar ground -- complete with saying I sound stupid, and continuing to push the Gemelli/Korlash scumbuddy scenario -- and frankly I don't see the need to respond to any of it. I didn't join the game to participate in a hairsplitting battle, where you claim that the hairs YOU split are important and relevant, while the hairs that others split are stupid and meaningless.
I'm happy to respond to questions from the rest of you about my arguments. As I said earlier, I'd support a Korlash lynch if push comes to shove, but for now I think it's clear that the only way to get Elias to contribute to our game is to keep a little pressure on him, so my vote stays.

I'd rather not leave us less than a week after Korlash claims (so as not to cause us to do things hurriedly), so would it be acceptable if Korlash were to claim in 24 hours? I agree he is most suspect and he would be getting my vote at deadline, but now that things are solidifying I think a claim soon would be useful.
Unless I've miscounted, Elias is at L-1. I wouldn't be averse to claims from both players, honestly.
