Yeah, I'm well aware that I wasn't really on much that phase, but on the day I planned to post, turns out, the thread was locked. The wagon was rushed, and that's my biggest concern.

i don't really feel like the day should have ended there, and i didn't really get the vibe that he just wanted the day to end either and that's why he hopped on
(tbf i also read the whole day in one chunk overnight so it's possible i missed something)
This is a solid point, but at the end of the day, Azure was throwing, so either a lynch was going to happen and Azure could still win as Town or Scum or Azure would be replaced or mod-killed for throwing. In the event of a Mod-Kill, then we wouldn't even know what role she was because she would have been turned into a Survivor. I think the hammer was necessary given the circumstances, and Vortuka did give the intent to hammer on constant occasions. If he's scum, then yeah, that was an easy out, but in that circumstance, it was either have a Mod-Kill end the day, a lynch end the day, or have the impending replacement get hammered anyway. There was nothing that the replacement could use as a defense since there was nothing to defend against, and being at L-1 would only make things worse.
I just think Vortuka is Town based on the intent to hammer without going for the sudden hammer out of nowhere, a tactic that Scum would do in this circumstance.
Again, I was absent for most of the day, and I only found out about these events recently, so this is my interpretation.
