Evening Day 2
With another of there own dead, there could be no question of mercy. While many were accused, suspicion eventually coalesced around the child, Cuthillius. With half the town agreed, Cuthillius was allowed to set his affairs in order and fade away to a shade of his former self

Morning Day 3
When dawn broke the next morning, it at first appeared that everyone was present. It was only after the sun was well in the sky that they realized that the farmer hadn't come into town that morning. The remaining villagers went out there and found the farmer decapitated. He had clearly tried to defend himself with his scythe, which had been sliced in two, but he was no match for his killer.
Takhisis was

I don't really see why letting the lynched people keep talking in the thread instead of revealing allignment (and potentially role) would be a good game design decision
especially since this change doesn't apply to those killed as well

If Cuth was scum, Arakhor is the top suspect for his buddy, with Al the only other likely candidate (though Tak's murder seems calculated to make him the prime suspect).
If Cuth wasn't scum, Snerk has the highest probability of being so, based on interactions.

"based on interactions"
You're going to need to explain that a little more, Winston. Snerk's pretty much my only town read, otherwise.
I still think Lohrenswald looks scummy in at least half his posts. Like why does he come in here this morning complaining about ghost posting? It's not a detriment to town, usually.

I can't easily explain it, except to say that a review of all the interactions between remaining players left me feeling like Snerk has positioned himself quite carefully.
What looks townie about him to you?
He pushed me a little and I didn't want to kill him for it. Not saying that my OMGUS/OMGUdon'tS reads are the be all/end all, but it's a thing.
If it's not Snerk, though, then who could Lohren's buddy be?

And why Lohren?
Anyway, long story short, someone claims to have vigged both Cuth and Tak. The story seems plausible though my gard remains up.
If true, it leads me to these posts by Arakhor for pushing the vig angle:
Could be scum looking to score insight points.

Wouldn't comment on the game design before you see the whole picture though.
Renata picked him as looking scummy.
You mean Yako and Tak, presumably.
What the hell have the scum been up to, then?
And how are we supposed to just accept this on your (second hand) word, given that if Cuth wasn't scum we're potentially at lylo here?
Snerk
Smeghead
Yes, Yako and Tak. Got it mixed up.
Just telling you what I've heard. You don't have to accept it as gospel. Got some theories on how the scum could fit in but I dunno.

It's close to being a zero sum game here, though. With no more info than you've given, there isn't really a middle ground between accepting it and not accepting it.
Can you explain them?

One of them is something along the lines of town has Nether blade (item capable of killing), scum wins if they get a hold of it.
In that case, getting hold of the blade surely couldn't be as straightforward as targeting the holder with a theft ability, or else the scum could potentially have fluked the game N1.
On the other hand, it being necessary to lynch the holder and win the blade in a vote would seem to pose too great a challenge for a scum team of two, given the vig.
