hm. Some people just never learn I guess.
Kudos to whatsherface for pointing my submarining out, but no follow-up. Tch. (Nice to know it still works after all this time tho

)
Anywho, let's see what crazy, far-fetched theories I have for us today
This game is pretty full of strong players, downside of which is whatever "slipups" happen are usually very minor and aren't definitive scum tells. Even nag's "scum level 9000" post (probably the most scum-tell tell so far) isn't that comparably bad. In my opinion, very careful voting would be a good way to go given the situation.
As for shadowstar, I have learned that no claim can be entirely believable. nekocatbusthing is from a very popular movie. Very popular. Even many non-anime watchers have seen my neighbor totoro, so even if he's never seen it, it wouldn't be hard to find a lot of information on it. Sure it seems random, but look up anime on wikipedia and Miyazaki's name shows up. Click on Miyazaki and totoro is right there. Also, a vote-stealing bus driver? Really? His vote stealing powers have been more or less confirmed (barring some genius scum teamwork between mandy and shadow) but his bus driving really hasn't. Having a mafia vote stealer is mch more understandable than a bus driving vote stealer. I'm not saying that I suspect shadow of anything scummy, just that his claim isn't completely believable to me. I trust him for now, but if he slips he'll be in the same suspicion boat as anyone else.
