Alright, I have to head out for a bit but I'll be around for a good long while when I return in a few hours. Let's use this day to look at past interactions with the Comedian (what little of it there is) and sort out who we want to look at tomorrow? Brief notes before I go, mostly reminders to myself for later:
Flay/Tick: 100% cleared to me. I already trusted Flay, and me protecting him night 3 and there being no NK as a result is the clincher. Tick is cleared by extension (masons).
Hazel: Looks good for obvious reasons. Only scum if she's pulling a completely gutsy gambit with Comedian. Incredibly unlikely and not worth thinking about except for days down the line and even then only if Comedian flips Godfather (in which case Hazel could actually be a scum watcher; again, this is extremely unlikely, but it's clear that town's already got a lot of power on its side so I can't totally rule the possibility out. Sorry Hazel! The paranoia is unquenchable).
Hilda: Was on both of the scum lynches, neither of the mislynches, and was riding Comedian for a while before today. Needs to talk more but says good stuff when she does. Looks alright to me.
Bats: Eh. Pretty unlikely given that Middleman was town. Would still like to hear who he thinks is scummy right now given that Kirk is dead and the Comedian is pretty much flaunting it here.
Axel/Gordon/Almaz: Axel and Gordon were on both of the townie lynches (so were Tick and Flay, yes, but I'm discounting them for reasons above). Definitely warrant close scrutiny. Axel's looked very good to me all game, just have to include him as a wildcard possibility here given the townie lynches. Almaz is just, I don't know honestly. I have to reread his posts (which I've been avoiding doing since some of the day 1&2 WoT exchanges are kinda painful).
Hilda and above aren't worth considering as possible scum right now, in my opinion, but if anyone has good reason to suspect the contrary then please let me know.
