I'm not convinced of the case against Crys. Zeener's change of heart gives me pause about the case on Ender.

Are you implying that I finally knuckled down and started searching for scum?
In a sense, yes. I was frustrated about not being able to see any discrepancies in posts that might indicate shadiness on the part of the poster. I had time to go back and re-read the (then) current posts, and I focused on the case regarding crys. I wasn't feeling compelled to vote her, so I looked at what her accusers (Lightfoot, Daphne, and EnderBoy) were saying about her. Lightfoot made probably the best argument against her, but it rested on crys making a lot of fluffy posts yet nothing pinged me as scummy. Daphne seemed to be interested in why crys would claim so quickly, and decided to apply pressure with Lightfoot. Others chimed in with their concerns and two cents, and there was discussion about a reply crys made to peeker re: her cell blowing up (I'm paraphrasing). The more I read the less I became convinced crys was anything but a panicky townie. In past games I've been quick, maybe
too quick, to attack this type of player and learn they flip town after we lynch them. Then EnderBoy arrived with his vote. There was something about it that pinged me as I read and re-read it: it seemed convenient. It was a third vote, with anticipation of more votes to follow: that's very convenient for scum. And the questions regarding PM formatting appeared directed at the rest of us in general: what were our PMs, and how would they differ? It could be an honest inquiry designed to ferret out players who may have "cover" PMs, or an attempt to uncover other townies with non-vanilla roles (one player, to my chagrin, has admitted to this). I'm leaning toward the latter in this gambit, and leaning toward scum on EnderBoy.
