gogtrial34987: Swift catch up. I'll intend to do a regular detailed response later today, if on a thorough reread I find that I have things to question and/or respond to still.
I can't imagine Joe being scene's buddy either. Not so much for the EoD hammer call (though that strengthens it), as for the way he stayed on the wagon all the way to the end. It would've been trivial for him to state "my vote was RVS, and I'm not yet convinced enough about scene to stay on". Instead he did an 'explicit' (well, for Joe-standards) "I'm good where I am" post once scene's wagon took off. ('course, he could be SK-scum, but that still basically goes for everyone.)
I've had Lift and SPF as possible scum buddies bussing, but Lift got taken out of the running, and Vitek does make a compelling argument on SPF's townness. (@trent, @bookwyrm, @flub: do you find Vitek's argument to be solid as well?)
scene+Vitek+SPF? that would make sense perhaps with the early scene/Poppy interactions. (I imagine Vitek's scum game is near flawless?) Wouldn't expect the Vitek-SPF interactions from scum, but that might of course be why they'd play like that. Need to ponder this - it feels too shiny.
I find the scene+HSL+Joe concept intriguing as well. I think I recall both Joe pushing on HSL, as HSL pushing on Joe, but no real interactions. (Reread fodder.)
Are there roles / possible twists that would fit with Ixam just ignoring everything being asked of him? mchack and Joe have now put him in their "could lynch" category as well, but everyone else keeps ignoring him as much as he keeps ignoring all of us.
trent: yes, that's indeed what I was wanting. So you see SPF's reaction there as town?
1. Vitek makes a good point, when HSL started the new wagon on SPF scene was quick to jump on it and I don't see scum jumping on a wagon for a lynch on one of their teammates at EOD like that. It gives slight town points for SPF in that regard. Scene could have realized that the lynch of SPF would probably not happen but wanted to have another wagon for people to focus on instead of him even if it was his buddy, but I'm not sure scene's scum game is that advanced. I can't imagine Joe being scene's buddy either. Not so much for the EoD hammer call (though that strengthens it), as for the way he stayed on the wagon all the way to the end. It would've been trivial for him to state "my vote was RVS, and I'm not yet convinced enough about scene to stay on".

2. SPF's reactions seemed natural and not forced, but that is not alignment indicative as even scum in that instance would react the same way as scene's behavior and actions were screaming "I'm scum that's lying" and his buddies would know they needed to react that way.
