Suspect #1
Meatwad.
Yeah, this looks like a pretty bad. He shows up says he doesn't want the role and then has an exchange with Cabot about it that feels like Cabot is trying to get on for him for possible town cred later without going full into it. I really don't like this on reread.
Suspect #2
Exodus.
Drops in, votes for Meatwad for no reason, and gets called out about Cabot for it. He then dips only to show up later and briefly comes back to say how he doesn't like NF. Then comes back later and for no reason again, votes for Swamped? And then we get this post:
Wait. What am I missing? Why did Cabot die?
Is Exodus new? Because I feel like it's fairly obvious what happened and this kind of feels like role fishing just to make sure.
That being said, I don't see both Meatwad, Exodus, and Cabot being on a team together. That's WAY too much noise involving the three of them really early on and some of it is caused by scum Cabot. It's just not something I see scum doing. I would say one of the two is probably scum, but I don't think both are.
Suspect #3
Swamped.
I like Swamped and really don't want to believe that Swamped is scum, but I've had alarm bells just blaring in my head from her during this day phase and I feel like I'll regret not saying anything.
Someone mentioned that it felt like Cabot was trying to pocket NF and I had similar concerns about Swamped trying to pocket me I guess. She talks about how she's voting for me because she feels like scum wouldn't try to get the power as hard as I've been. Cabot then points out that this incriminates Swamped herself, and then she says that she was hoping that someone would go for that, but doesn't really say anything convincing about why that makes her town. Then Cabot just kind of drops it. The whole exchange just felt very forced and I was not a fan of it.
That being said, she did seem like she was starting to move towards Cabot after Faddy started coming after her, which makes me feel a bit better, but as of right now, I think I'm still leaning scum for her.
I saw some people mention Apollo and I kind of want to reread Vere because I think I might have a blind spot for him, but as of right now, I wouldn't mind voting for one of these 3 tomorrow.
