Just catching up here, needed a 24 hr mafia break after that ridic bad nightfall.
I see that Haggis has finally decided to jump in and make a case on someone. And they're right, Driver really hasn't contributed much, aside from commenting on how "we" need to be digging. Haggis seems to have cleared Scoop in post #997, can't quite follow the reasoning there.
Rickets may have been without internets all weekend, or they may have been laying low since things were going well for the scum team. At this point idk. I haven't seen pro-town posts from Rickets, nor any real digging. I did see some crankiness in their posts, whether that is townie frustration or not, idk either. A lot of theoretical ideas on how to play mafia, with the whole post on "no votes". Not sure how that post helps find scum since it tells us what we already know, no votes suck. The case analyzing the voting patterns on day 1 is the first real digging I've seen Rickets do. Their analysis of the voting events seems wonky to me, as they are making a big case of Nar tying up the vote. At that point it was so early on, a tie had to happen to get HH to surpass Nem in votes. Someone had to tie it up so HH could go ahead to be lynched. So Rickets, maybe you can explain that to me. To me, Nar was on HH early enough that I would doubt scum would have given up on saving HH, so I doubt scum would have moved there at that time.
Now the suggestion that the detective come out if they've found scum is VERY suspicious to me; Rickets even notes that the last big PR, detective, is in BIG danger. The "I see no real downside" statement sets off all sorts of red flags in my mind. I just looked over the rules about the role block and it doesn't say whether Mad will tell us when it's been used, so it may have been used or it may still be in play. We know it wasn't used Night 2 because the Vig hit went through. Could have been used night 1 or night 3, though night 1 seems too early.
This post by Nar directed at Rickets is exactly my thought:

You want the Det to come out...
And you know the rules...
This struck me as interesting:

It seems like the people that are posting are at least trying to help the Town. I wonder if the scum think they have this thing wrapped up and are staying more quiet. We shall see. At least re-reading today's posts won't be that bad.
I must disagree with you Tree. Now is the perfect time for the scum team to put their spin on things, with the townies very frustrated. I know I had to take a 24 hr break because I was so freaking irritated. I'm still a bit irritated. Would be stupid for scum to keep hiding right now, in fact I'd expect them to start posting more and making fake cases on townies to keep things spinning and chaotic.
Ok, this post is getting too long, I've only gotten through #1028.
