Has it occurred to you that if he was scum the vets in the scum den might have helped him straighten out his story enough to keep him off the chopping block? We do have players that will coach a newb and help him to post in a way that would prevent situations like last night.
While it is true, and we won't know until his role is revealed, that he could indeed still be scum. I am basing my thoughts on the number of times in the past that we have had similar setups for the lynch and a quite thread.
Most of the time that has been that we were doing the scums job for them and putting 2 of our own up for the lynch.
