Earlier today, I went through my about D3 taking Faddy's flip into consideration. These seemed the most salient given the outcome:
> Faddy claimed Stuart and Gorlak were scum, but said that Nin, Spot, AB, Malus and Chuggernaut are town.
> Spot voted for Faddy.
> Z-Beat thought at least one of the players in Faddy's town list is scum.
> Turmoil kept pairing people off for their takes on each other - myself and DCPat, Nin and Gir.
> Zeke posited a scum team of myself, AB, Faddy and Melon.
> Gorlak read Faddy as town, along with Zeke, Turmoil, Spot, Chuggernaut and Nin.
> Faddy leant town on Turmoil and vice versa.
> Gorlak felt that if Faddy is scum Chuggernaut would be suspect and did not think that Stuart and/or Zeke would be scum-mates with Faddy.
> Stuart's next pick if Faddy flipped scum would be DCPat.
> Gorlak asked Faddy, Stuart and Zeke for their two top scum aside from each other. All of them named me - for the other, Faddy and Zeke picked Melon, Stuart picked DCPat.
> Gorlak himself picked Malus, Melon and AB as his top scum. He would later feel better about Melon.
> Turmoil wanted to look amongst Spot's D1 voters, like L_P and Nin, rather than ET's D1 voters like Faddy. I initially went along with his suggestion to vote for Nin - however, as soon as I stated that I preferred Stuart's argument and switched to Faddy, the wagon on me took off. Turmoil was the first to turn on me once I switched.
> Stuart, incidentally, wanted to give Nin a pass for feeling towny on D1 and D2.
> DCPat asked for Stuart's view of Turmoil - Stuart stated that he town-read him.
> Nin did not like how quiet Faddy was and thought scum may keep Stuart around.
> GP thought that Faddy and I were the best lynch options, followed by Z-Beat or Melon. Was sceptical of the case against Sophia/L_P.
> Chuggernaut was suspicious of the wagon on me.
> Stuart thought that the wagon on me might have started because Faddy vs. L_P might have been scum vs. scum.
> AB read Chuggernaut, Stuart, Spot and possibly Gorlak as town. Disliked Zeke's shading, feeling worse about Nin the longer he's alive.
> Z-Beat felt Faddy would have been the more useful flip.
I think that while it's possible that Faddy might have been bussed, I would be surprised if that was scum's plan from the off - they'd already let ET go and a ninja kill is a useful skill for them. I still think there's another busser in the ET vote list from D1, and I think there was a deliberate effort to swerve discussion towards the Spot voters. The fact that the wagon on me took off after I took up Stuart's suggestion adds weight to that for me. In all, I now find Turmoil and DCPat to be looking quite dubious with that in mind. Stuart naturally gets a boost from the day's events and I get a positive feeling from Z-Beat. Zeke gets no points from me for that hammer - while I found his 'if he doesn't back my theory, he's worth lynching' approach unnecessary reckless, I still slightly err on the side of tunnel vision as opposed to scum work.
