Alright, cool. Glad I (probably) don't have to worry about Kaze anymore. In the meantime, here's why we should lynch Venmar today!

It was, and I'm sure there was a bad vote on it, but I don't really think it's this one. It's quite in character.
Cephrir and Venmar talk about the early
Brian Skies L-1 wagon. Cephrir says that there was "a" bad vote on it (Flandre), and quick early-game wagons are usually Town-driven in my experience, so this suggests that Flandre was the token Scum player on the wagon while the rest of the team was off the wagon.

But there are a

of players who haven't posted enough for me to get a read on them yet, including you.
Engaging each other on a safe topic of conversation ("Is Metal Sonic Scum?"), which leads to Cephrir casually mentioning that he doesn't have a strong read on Venmar even though that was never in question.

Sorry I don't want to talk to you anymore, it's giving me a migraine.

This might be a scumpost. When I ragequit talking to someone there is a lot more rage and less quit.
"Might be." Keeping his options open so it won't look weird if he has to bus Venmar later on down the line.

Venmar is scum for suggesting otherwise
And yet, no vote? No push on Venmar? No effort to assert with any sort of conviction that Venmar is Scum and needs to be lynched? Distancing.

yeah ok i need some air before i go all caps.
This ATE is materializing out of thin air for no discernible reason and I think it's poppycock.
I'm going to say that more, so brace yourselves.

This looks like Cephrir is trying to advise Venmar to ease up on his unrelenting tunneling of Metal Sonic because Cephrir knows that Metal Sonic flipping Town will end up hurting Venmar in the long run.
In post 1054, Cephrir wrote:Venmar- has rubbed me the wrong way at times (and I think you were the one who threatened me with a mutual scumread which I hated?) but nonetheless his neighbors are scummier
Now Venmar is no longer the scummiest member of the three-person neighborhood even though nothing of significance happened to change this view?
1054 is a good post to analyze in general. Cephrir was nice enough to split up his reads into four categories (five if you count Mastin's one-person category), and lists Flandre and SSK in separate groups. Seems logical to think that he'd put his three partners into three separate categories, which means that the last Scum player is either in the Town group (Pidgey) or the ??? group (Venmar or ActionDan).

Why did you say that Venmar is Scum for doubting Pieguy's Bodyguard claim? What does Scum-Venmar have to gain by persisting with his suspicion of Pieguy after the claim?
I didn't believe anyone could read that ATE post and not declare pieguy town. Since then, I've seen a decent number of others continue suspecting him, so I must conclude it's possible.
Also, yes, this is true, nothing. Pieguy isn't getting lynched. However, I can imagine how it could be useful to scum. It gives them someone to talk about suspecting who will not go away fro quite some time and yet will also not survive the entire game. It keeps him in the public eye for possible lynching if he doesn't get a successful protect off in some arbitrary amount of time.

Possible that Pieguy is actually Scum or possible that other players doubt him? You make it sound like you suspect him just because others do.

So you think Pieguy is Town and Venmar is Scum who is setting him up for a future mislynch. Is that correct?
Re: point 1; possible that other players doubt him. I still don't suspect him, but I have concluded it's not ridiculous someone could do so because enough people are doing it that they can't all be scum.
I did think that, but I don't really anymore. Venmar could almost be town for being the first to doubt it, in hindsight, because it seems like a risky position. I thought he was trying to keep pieguy as a mislynch option, but he's not really focusing on it and seems willing to let him eventually die to night actions.
I ask Cephrir directly if he thinks Venmar is Scum and he gives me a wishy-washy non-answer -- almost as though he doesn't want to say anything that could potentially incriminate a partner.
The second half of that last sentence also looks like more coaching from Cephrir, like he's telling Venmar to focus his attention elsewhere and let the Pieguy problem resolve itself in time.
