So I asked a while back why slandaar looked at his interaction with blueberry but not with ETA. I didn't get an answer, so thats where I'll start.
---------------------------
tl;dr
Early potential distancing followed by slandaar/ETA actin like best buds up through #120. Slan left out his own analysis of his interactions with ETA because they don't show favorably for him = scummy. Slan/Alice interactions makes sense with slan-scum (see post #104 comment evaluation at the end of this post).
I have a lot more to look at I didn't even have time to finish all of slan/ETA but thats all I have time for right now. Maybe more tonight. Slan has brought up a couple good points about rainbow I'll want to look at - namely Rainbow mason hunting and #460 was going to be pretty much my same response as to why rainbowscum would kill tracy (but it also explains why slandaarscum would kill tracy if he thinkgs tracy could have been mason and welpobvtownanyways, so..).
----------------------------
Post 22-28 is an interesting little back and forth. Slandaar takes a couple snipes at ETA but doesn't vote him even though he says he would. ETA just responds to slandaar and moves on. Could be early distancing.
Post 36 - a notice of something ETA did, with a hmmmmm. Its interesting because Slandaar didn't really say anything about what it meant that ETA forgot who he voted, and thats pretty much the same thing he called ETA out for shortly before - pointing something out but not saying anything about it.
Post 49 - slandaar questions ETA about why ETA finds rainbow town. Could be coaching, ie maybe slandaar was hoping to lynch rainbow and didn't like being undermined by his scum partner? At that point slandaar was voting rainbow, but as he was questioning ETA why rainbow was town, slandaar moves his vote off of rainbow. Interesting.
Slandaar #62 is another interesting post if it is directed to ETA #61, but I can't be sure if that was the case or not. Assuming it is, Slandaar is calling ETA "caught scum" but still no vote.
But all the above doesn't make sense with
Slandaar #90 - "I THINK Elmo is town but I am very soso and its based on loose ideas which might be wrong but hes not a good lynch today." - aka "protect my scumbuddy softly but be wishywashy enough I can bus later and/or don't look bad when he flips scum"
slandaar #95 to elmo 101 - tries to convince ETA to vote alice with him, ETA does, but has to think about it for a while first. IDK this seems almost too obvious to be scumpartners, but I think ETA's hesitation makes it plausible, like he could have realized he didn't want to blatently sheep his scum partner but slandaar kinda backed him into that corner so he had to.
elmo #107 - elmo helping along slandaar's case
Out of time for now - Up to post #120
-------------------------------------------------------------
Not slandaar/elmo but I got to
slandaar #104 and realized what slandaar was talking about earlier. About how if he is scum and realized that
alice #9 meant alice had a QT (even if its based on a wrong assumption that doesn't come up til later), slandaar is arguing that he doesn't bother making a case on alice because he would have just nked her and killed a mason, so he'd have never even bothered to make post #104 at all if he was scum.
Rereading now, I disagree. I think slandaarscum could still pursue alice as a suspect even if he thinks she's a mason for a couple reasons. First being somewhat a longshot, but its possible she could have gotten lynched before a claim (see: pizzalynch). Second being more likely, but if you can make a case on a mason maybe you get clues as to who the mason partners are ie if someone defends her. And getting alice to claim confirms his suspision that alice is a mason and takes away any uncertainty in the nk. I think the prospect of identifing 1 or more masons overrides any downside to slandaar looking somewhat worse for pressuring a mason. In that light #104 looks like role fishing -> "Scum qt before game starts -> someone told her who scum were in qt because she has a buddy who rolled scum previously (still working on which one)" -> leave out the mason explanation to see who jumps and says "hey what if she's a mason". I jumped, maybe slan initially thought I was a mason with alice idk. After that point the QT theory goes away because alice explained she was talking about a previous game so slan no longer has reason to believe alice has a qt thus no mason and thats why alice didn't die.
, I didn't pick up on that in the iso and remember I replaced in after that.
