New developments abound. Had to reread all of this again and my opinions are changing.
Regarding Alice's #297: Saying Soppy and I cover most of Yoshi is meh. I don't usually have a problem with people reiterating other points because at least we see specific reasons coming out of your mouth that you can be held accountable for rather than us having to guess which of Soppy's or my points you agree with. In any case, the original points Alice takes the time to provide is only of Yoshi believing the fakeclaim (which 2 other people happened to support as well) and "hammering for Town cred." The first point doesn't differentiate Yoshi from Tom or Smodge. And I thought the hammering for Town cred is a null point; it was at the end of my case on Yoshi as well, but hardly the largest thing I disliked about Yoshi. So it does seem like low-effort reasoning to vote Yoshi. And I see you repeat those 2 points in #331 when you revote Yoshi, not really mentioning Yoshi's Day 1 actions which is what I focussed on to differentiate Yoshi from Smodge or Tom.

Actually, since I seemed to miss this when reviewing Tom's new cases, Soppy actually takes the time to present a case on Yoshi, but instead of voting Yoshi, votes Alice saying Alice needs to participate more. I can probably understand you wanting to highlight Alice, but your later unvote of Alice indicates it was more a lurker prod as you proclaim, "Alice is finally participating" without mentioning whether Alice's content is actually any good or not! You just said there was content, but did you really agree or disagree or what? I can now see why Tom decided to declare you two a scumpair.
Also Sopko: "Bard hadn't even been suspected until Alex and I jumped on him?" You trying to claim equal credit with Alex for finding Bard? Unfortunately for you, that's subjective because Alex had presented it first. You just happened to be the next person to post and also voted Bard. I don't believe you can declare that so strongly. And it doesn't really prove your point anyway, that you couldn't have bussed Bard just because you were second and early.

None of these new points are really obvscum damning against Alice, but I'm inclined to switch mainly cuz I've started to feel better about Yoshi off to the side (his reclarification of his case on Smodge helped quite a bit). I've had the time to vet Yoshi, see a variety of people comment on him and his case and I'm feeling better about him now. Alice is still more of an unknown along with the points of contention from before: end of Day 1 offenses, lack of end of Day 2 presence, and a case on Yoshi that I'm starting to disagree with. Smodge is still a little meh, but his also voting Alice alongside Yoshi kind of tips the balance in his favor. Because I'm not seeing both of them as scumbuddies so one if not both of them honestly see Alice as Scum. If it's between Yoshi or Alice at this point, I'll go with the vote on Alice.
