Okay. I'm rereading the thread, and a few people stand out as most worthy of suspicion:
Carthrat: Was on the Eph train damned early, and only vaguely echoed Yakko's misgivings of Captain K. while expressing disinterest in following up on them. Didn't give a whole lot of detail when he did vote Eph, here:

His subsequent posts pretty much ignore Eph beyond acting as though his lynching was inevitable (sure, other people jumped on Eph without saying a lot about him; two of them have since flipped scum). Until Eph claims doc, of course, when he realizes his case is nonviable and immediately unvotes Eph, jumping in with the CK crowd despite barely being interested in him before. His explanation for joining the CK voters is here:
Ciato: I'd say it's because he's practically on the block?
The game was (is?) trundling towards the Cap'n K/Eph doublelynch, doesn't seem unreasonable.
That's pretty much all he had to say on the matter, and he revoted Eph after Yakko came out with his claim. In fact, here's the post where he does so:

We know how that turned out now. Not sure what to make of that roleblocking speculation given that he now claims to be the target of one. Frankly, though, his involvement in the whole mess looks bad and I want some answers.
##Vote: Carthrat---
Taishyr: Badly needs to do something more than pop in and claim "Big post coming when I have time." This here is pretty much his most recent post that doesn't say that:

Sporadic presence isn't a guarantee of being scum (see Fnorder, who I was going to open up on today had he not been nightkilled), but the longer this behavior goes on, the more likely it looks.
It's hard to say more about him than that...which is bad in its own right, since it suggests major lack of contribution. So here's my personalized
FoS for being lurkerrific:
##Shoot: Taishyr---
Bardiche: Needed some serious prodding to get on the Captain K. train yesterday; expressed a desire to wait until CK showed up to do anything when it was already clear that the Captain wasn't about to listen to us. He says this in favor of not voting for CK:
Stop inciting paranoia by saying Captain K will potentially DayVig again. If he does that, he knows just as well as I do that he's screwed and that we WILL lynch him.
even though CK had already proved he wasn't going to listen to us when he ended day one by killing two townies.
He also says this in CK's defense (in response to someone saying that CK had never voiced suspicion of QR prior to killing her):
Ciato, he already mentioned he considered the possibility QR was scum, just no one reacted on it.
Actually, someone did react to CK's totally rubbish post on QR:

Tied in with my misgivings about his early day one arguments, Bard looks pretty bad right now. Why go to all that trouble to defend someone who, on day one, had done exactly that thing which half the group said would be the scummiest thing possible (smashvoting Soppy with no announcement)
and killed a cooperative dayvig in the process?

I'm not seeing a whole lot I can hold against the others at present. Admittedly Excal was pretty much the first person to jump on Eph when he got unruly, but there's a difference: Excal actually talked at length with the person he was accusing. If any living player involved in that fiasco put in an effort to justify his reasons for an Eph vote and get Eph talking to get more information out of him, I'd say it was Excal. If there's a mark against him, it's jumping in after the hammer on day two. Yeah, he's explained this, but do you not at least glance at the most recent of the posts that ninja'd you, man? I'd have to imagine the bolded Smashvote in Rat's post would grab your attention and make you wonder what else you might've missed, at least. Still, I don't see him as scummy right now.
Bah, double-ninja'd by Nitori and Bard. Will read in a moment.
