OK, ao if there is no cop, which would be a the worst possible scenario for us. Who at this point is the most suspicious. I still like my current vote for scum. Here is one reason why I think he is scum. Since I am guessing we have 2 mafia guys, if my vote would have been for a townie, they would have both bandwagoned my vote and ended this game already. Thats why I think Arkzero is scum. There was no reason not to, everyone has gotten on since I voted so everyone had a chance to do so.

There are a few problems with your theory.

First, it seems pretty dangerous.  Trying to speed lynch someone before the cop shows up on a day we are all expecting the cop to role claim is really scummy.  So whoever would put that second vote would have SCUM tattooed on their forehead.  So if that third vote doesn't come quick enough, one mafia member would have just exposed themselves.

Second, you could be mafia.  That would explain why there are not two extra mafia to jump on the vote.

Third, you could both be mafia.  You may have been trying to distance yourself from what you thought was an inevitable guilty investigation today.  So to get in the town's good graces, you decided to get in your vote before the cop could say he was guilty.  It would make you look like a great scum hunter, and it would be very sneaky to be the first vote on your guilty partner.  Now that there is no cop, you can't just back out of your vote.  You need him lynched to make you look good.

This brings me to a question for you.  Why were you the only person to vote before we knew there was no cop?  I can't understand why a townie would do that.

All that said, ArkZero remains one of my top suspects.

Now to decide which of you to vote for.
