Ok, going back and reading EvilTom, a few things stand out to me:
One is his attack on Excal. He used the "Bored Vanilla Townie with nothing to do" point here, and Excal attacked it. Now, while I DID agree with Excal on his point at the time...and frankly still do (Vanilla Townies are important if only for the whole "Town's advantage is its numbers" aspect alone, which they help for obvious reasons)...it feels more like bad wording than anything else. He and Excal go at it...Excal eventually gets modkilled and flipped as a Scum. Point in EvilTom's favor, especially since Excal tried to vote for him. Now, could be a WIFOM situation; they go after each other, one dies, makes the other look better as a result, but...risky move when they already lost someone and have only have gotten 2 Towns dead in 2 nights. If Otter was still alive/was town, that might make their little sacrifice strategy more meaningful, HOWEVER, given it was suggested that there's likely only 1 Scum left, with the off chance of a 4th (hard to say at this point), so back then, there'd be two, and killing off one means they'd be playing a massive gambit that...yeah, not worth it at that point. If all Scum were alive, I'd probably be more willing to accept this theory at the moment, but with one gone and the fact that they lost at least one Nightkill, this puts them in a bad situation to pull a move like that.
Feel free to explain why it'd still be a good move, granted (and it could still work out if there's one more Scum than we think; if there's 4, that strategy might still be worth it; 5/2 split for them puts them in a good position.)
Anyway, the other thing that stands out?
EvilTom DEFENDED Alex. He pushed for Yakko initially, explained why he thinks its him, and explained why Alex's strategy wasn't a good strategy for scum. While Alex didn't really play all that well (despite his claims, Tunnel Vision to that degree wasn't a smart move, ESPECIALLY when Smodge DID role claim and we had little else to go off of, ended up killing one of our own in the process, and all it did was make him look bad), EvilTom did accurately explain that Alex playing Scum like that would be worse than him playing Town like that, and low and behold, Alex flips up Town.
I'm willing to accept Tom's statement of Bored Vanilla Townie as just bad wording; these things happen, scum or town. Without the use of an Edit button, you can't go back and change that (you can try to correct in another post, but I can see that being paranoid and saying "wait, changing that wording might look equally bad!" situation.) As a result, giving him the benefit of the doubt here; his Yakko analysis was jumping to conclusions some, ones which helped his theory out, but in the end, he didn't consider "but wait, what if he isnt' Dalek" which completely alters his strategy, or conversely, what if in this kind of Mafia, OK made Dalek a town?
HOWEVER, Tai's not looking good regardless, and Tai defended Yakko, and Yakko hammered Alex (albeit, I supported it.) Yakko's hammering makes sense; he asked for support, did get some, and apparently was pressed for time in a manner where he genuinely felt he was the deciding factor for hammering, and there weren't enough for anyone else to really change anything. As a result, giving Yakko the benefit of the doubt.
That mainly leaves Tai as the suspicious one.
What about Ciato? She seemed to be going after Alex in a way that was mostly "Stop your damn Tunnel Vision!" nonsense. Again, while she was wrong on this being a scumploy...I agree that Tunnel Vision is *NOT* a good thing, especially to the degree Alex was playing, and considering how it backfired horribly, both for who we lynched, what the result of said lynch led to, and how all it did was make Alex look more suspicious by lynching someone whose role claim ended up being exactly as he claimed.
Alex did roleclaim before getting hammered, yes...but by that point, it was too late, so different story.
