Sorry I've been neglecting this game; real life has gotten in the way. =S

Yes. No lynch is not a wise move at this point.

I feel best about Aranfan right now based upon his reaction to Starbuck's claim yesterday. I'm confused about Starbuck because her claim doesn't match up with what the town PM says but as I mentioned earlier, it appears that the mod did not use a standardized PM. The fact that she did claim using details which were rather specific makes me feel good about her being town. That leaves image and you(KittyMo). Right now I would peg image as the SK and you as the maf. But with so little to work with from you(and your predecessors), like I said I'm really looking forward to hearing more from you.

so it's possible Aranfan-scum took a risk and had it pay off.
Never mind, it seems Aranfan was the one who pointed it out in the first place. Seems pretty unlikely to me that he is scum.
Starbuck's claim also seems genuine to me; we have pretty solid evidence that kik's PM contained the "no special powers" as Starbuck claimed to have, and there was no indication of this in the thread. Again, she could have been taking a risk or trying to set up an explanation for why she would be unable to answer other meta questions, but it seems like a horribly over-risky way of going about that.
Process of elimination therefore leaves Namttam and KittyMo as scum. KittyMo seems to be gearing up to vote Aranfan; I'd like to see the rest of her analysis. I'd peg KittyMo as SK and Namttam as maf, but doing a lot of analysis to figure out which is which seems unnecessary at this point.
I love how you two basically made the same post. In fact, on reading isos, you two tend to have the same playstyle. Neither of you post enough, you both bring up new points, neither of you are that scummy... Bleh. Let me read once more... If I had to choose who was scummier, I'd choose Namttam, because he's followed the crowd more. However, it's not by much. My gut says image, though.
I personally find Aranfan the scummiest, but since Namttam and image would rather play not in the spirit of the game, I don't think an Aranfan-lynch is possible. (I didn't read into the "no powers" part, as I would rather scumhunt than cheat, so I don't know if their reasoning makes sense or not. image said it best earlier:

So, on the subject of hard evidence and PMs, we could get each person to post some unique confirmable characteristic of the VT PM, such as the number of times a certain letter occurs. Assuming everyone can count, this would lead to us outing all three scum and the doc, and we have enough people that we can afford the one potential mislynch.
However, I see this as going against the spirit of the game, even if not against the rules. Even getting MM to correctly claim his role name is pushing the border of sportsmanship, from my point of view; I would find it unfulfilling to catch scum in this way. )
So, my scumlist is the following:
Town to Scum:
KittyMo
Starbuck
image
Namttam
Aranfan
FOS: Aranfan
because I'm too tired to figure out whether he's scummy enough to vote. I do like his avatar, though, because my cat does that all the time, and she looks almost exactly like the cat in the avatar.
Thanks and g'night.
