I'll be honest, my approach has been somewhat lazy. I got seriously pissed off by the early wagon, and really demoralized by a bunch of scummy stuff being ignored by the same people who were sheeping Mastin on the so-called "newbscum tells" that have not really been explained. Mea culpa.
Unfortunately, this game is really lacking in strong analysis. Too much taking the easy route by too many people. Not saying it's all bad, but the noise ratio is much higher than optimum.
Peak wagons, at the point of vote counts.
I did not look if the wagons got more/different votes between VC. The point of this is to get an idea of where to look, since re-reading the whole thread and analyzing 10 players would take quite a lot of time. Looking at the copper wagon after the VC was easy and obvious, so I did track it down to the actual max point.
davesaz (5) - Mastin2, Wickedestjr, Tean Samargo, eyestott, copper223
eyestott (5) - dodgy56, BlueBloodedToffee, davesaz, Mastin2, killapenwin
copper223 (4) - BlueBloodedToffee, killapenwin, Heartless, davesaz
Umm, copper only had 3 (or less) votes at time of claim. After I get castigated for claiming VT at L-2?
Really??
On 2 wagons:
Mastin2
BBT
killapenwin
Not on any of the wagons
Vettrock
Aneninen
beastcharizard
Suppose all of these wagons are exclusively town driven. While I can't say why scum would not have been on any of the wagons, a scum team of Vettrock, Aneninen, and beastcharizard is pretty damn appealing. Vettrock has been very noncommital the whole D1 but waves it off as being a bad D1 player. beastcharizard is active lurking and I remember seeing comments that producing content is his scum meta. But meta can be manipulated. And Aneninen has had all those catchup walls.
Let's say that one scum is in the group not on any wagons, and one is in the group who have been on two wagons. Even that narrows down a re-read to just 6 players.
Can I get a little help here? We need to pick someone if we're going to squeeze in a lynch before deadline.
