This was one of the examples I was thinking about, but rereading it, he was answering a question with "demon" and was asking Selkies/us why I didn't vote him when I said I suspected him. At the time, he was not my number 1 suspect though - just the first person who had pinged for me. my other suspect at the time was milkshake, and I think that's where orcinus had put our vote.
^^ this is an example of him trying to push associations when other people bring up scummy looking players.

I'm like 99.9% that I voiced on opinion on Matt in 78. I read the situation totally different then you. In 79 it does look a heckva lot like Milk is try to get me to vote Matt when I already said that I wasn't interested in lynching Matt today. I feel like she was not trying to get me to "commit to an opinion" but trying to get me to move my vote off of Selk. Considering that you have a scum read on Selk, do you not find it just a little strange that she doing this? Or do you think it was a whole coinkydink and its less likely they are scumbudz?
^^ More pushing of associations.

I think they're both independently scummy and since I know we don't have two scum teams and its not confirmed if we have an sk or not so it does make me want to put them together. I mean the whole "Nero votes Selk, Milk tried to get Nero to unvote Selk" seems a lil' weird but maybe you're right and its just a big coincidence.

That, and I had taken a closer look at that post and realized it wasn't as good as I had originally thought
This *might* be a link between SOO and Miss Des. Sure, as the pressure on SOO heated up she kinda backtracked to distance herself. But I'd be tempted to kill this when/if SOO flips scum.
^^ and more.
Maybe this stood out to me because in most instances he was trying to link us to other players. I'd go so far as to say trying to plant the idea of linkages.
Orcinus and Milkshake both pushed him about his vote on Selkies/us because he'd earlier said he wasn't interested in our lynch and it was an rvs vote.
I'm trying to look at this from the perspective of Nero Cain being town, and I could see him getting stubborn about the vote and suspicious when questioned about it, though I think he hung onto it for a pretty long time.
Rereading his ISO with that possibility in mind, I am seeing less to dislike in his posts, though the above posts still kinda bug me. I'm going to retract my statement that he'd be my preferred lynch if I had my druthers, and put him back in my null pile for now.
