Amok is high on my gut-level scumlist because of strategy disagreements and weirdness that can easily conceal mafia specificity, and in my urge of sniffing out a suspect I could have voted for him.
But, intellectually, coldly, and regretfully, I don't really think he's scum. His excuses are coherent, his strange status cannot be univocally scum as we know there would be mafiosi having more normal status, and I actually expect the mafia to be
1) on the list (so that likes/dislikes may involve them, or else what's the point)
2) looking quite normal (playing it a bit more neutral, gameplay-wise, and, profile-wise, requiring hint/clue investigation to be discovered, in an agathachristiesque "ooh i never expected good doctor znogarströl")
Plus, I don't expect Zchinque (who shares the out-of-list status) to be scum, because I kinda secretely expect him to be some sort of half-player accomplice of Joe, due of the way he got involved in the game. I may be completely wrong, but I won't be surprised by some dramatic Zchinque twist that Joe wouldn't afford with a playing player. Maybe it's not nice to express this suspicion here, but it impacts my read a bit.
Game is
what is game I GOT INTERRUPTED WHAT WAS I SAYING
game is weird and slow and feels incomplete due to partial participation and some weird impression of reluctancy from mod and players and what the hell nobody was forced to register or to host were they
anyway, my point is, with a deadline looming, i'll have to free some time for an actual scumhunt reread, and just give up on my hopes of getting systematic answers to my questions. But I'll probably end up voting for players on which I'll have the most "incomplete" reads...
