I don't love this post. The way you've presented it feels performative to me, and your cases are geared more towards deconstructing town reads than they are hunting for scum.
Why, and in what fashion? Do you believe that scum went out of their way to save a scum buddy, but just came up short?
Well if he wasn't being bussed, then that's all the more reason to look at his counter wagon?
Surely Sanji isn't the only scum read you have after a scum Godfather lynch day 2.
Why?
Ekko was a serial killer, not aligned with Mafia. His reads aren't informed from the perspective of bei g on a scum team, so this is a silly argument to make.
Again, Ekko's reads are mostly non-consequential, he wasn't aligned with Mafia which is what we're looking for. You can assume that, as serial, there was a degree of his reads being genuine, because he needs to kill Mafia too.
Why didn't you like the Jesse lynch?
Is it a coincidence that all those happen to have been low-hanging fruit slots that are otherwise very agreeable, Gad? Surely you have something better on the table?
