I have no idea how Swamped fits into all of this. She NEEDS to chime in.
I also want to expand on 2). If scum was in any danger whatsoever, I'd expect both scum to be present around the end of the day, so we need to look at who was possibly active at the end of the last day.
There are 2 options:
1) Town was nowhere near lynching scum at any point
2) Town was near lynching scum
If it's 1), we need to look at Malus, Zeke, and Meatwad. That would clear Fran, and maaaybe Swamped.
If it's 2), then Fran is the prime suspect.
I will remind that votes prior to the last hour were for show only. They meant absolutely nothing. I'm really bothered by those going in hard on Fran jumped ship so quickly without any hesitation or convincing. No evidence was presented. They were just happy to change their votes.
