Whoa lots of posts. Gonna be commenting on things as I see them.
First and foremost: We either have a bus driver/redirector, or between Ed and Soviet Coffee, we have a liar. I'll say more on this at another point.

1.) I am the town vote blocker
I called it. It was pretty transparent to me. Which has me wondering why scum didn't kill you.
I believe your claim and your voteblocks line up. Doesn't do much for me allignmentwise, though.
2.) I was in mason with Overswarm until he died
He recruited me during N2 and left PLENTY of breadcrumbs for it. He also told me that he wanted to recruit Praxis on N1 but it failed because Praxis was killed.
I'll have to reread to confirm this, but I believe you. As he said, his breadcrumbs were very deliberate, and he was quite loud about wanting to be friends (and if not, you'd have to die on D3). You were my pick for his recruit attempt N2.
I especially like your rationale behind the two investigations you picked for OS and Tando on D3, it lines right up.
Honestly, I'm never one to jump to conclusions, but everything you've said lines up so perfectly with how I've been reading the game that you are bottom of the barrel when it comes to plays, for me. The lack of breadcrumbing whom he's going to recruit suddenly makes perfect sense -- OS had a mason that was going to live on for him and be able to verify and explain his "investigation result". There was no need to jeopardize the sexy possibility of a double-investigation for that very reason; leaving it to Gheb to tell us if OS hit scum is
exactly what he'd do, since the information of whom he'd investigate was so sensitive.
Add in the fact that Mad Scummy has been looking like **** during my N3 rereads and I'm ready to take your hand, Gheb. Whattayasay?
*offers manly broshake*
Mostly unrelated:
Regarding Overswarms role: It's not a traditional mason recruiter - he could only recruit 2 people into his masonry during the whole game [his attempt to recruit Praxis didn't count because he was killed]. However, his death doesn't mean the death of the whole mason - only of himself. In our QT Overswarm told me that he thinks that the reason for this modification is related to the flavor but I can't vouch for it because I know nothing of Bioware. If you read through Boondock Saints mafia you'll realize that mentos seems to like modifying roles a little. In that game he added a survivor that had the option of becoming mafia later in the game. Thus I'm more inclined to think that mentos modified the mason recruiter for balance's sake just as he did in his older game.
1. I believe you. OS's attempt to kill Praxis was utterly blatant, and I remember considering that he might be a mason recruiter when I read that. And facepalming when Gordito and Ed kept trying to get him lynched after he softclaimed but that's another story >_>
2. This makes sense balancewise, because mafia having a oneshot recruit (as they surely did) would be utter BS against an infinite-recruiting Mason Leader on the town side.
3. I only played Mass Effect 1, so I have no idea whom OS's character is. Could someone tell me a bit about him and verify some of this character speculation?
I want to hear the full story from both EP and SC - the details and stuff because with these conflicting claims there is more to this than what they gave us. I don't like that.
+1
I wish you were this active in UCM's endgame Gheb we'd have run that ****.

1) He breadcrumbed he wanted to initiate me D1 (go re-read). He didn't btw. Just doesn't mean he did recruit you.
Link to this post. I'm not wasting the time to reread D1 for the thirtieth ****ing time for a weak OMGUS. Actually Gheb put it better. And by put it better I mean destroyed you.
Still wanna see that link though.

Well in this case, if Tandora is 100% clear, the remaining scum is presumably Nix.
Mad Scummy did not night kill anyone last night.
FoS
Swiss said:
Who's the other scum? Me?
So quick to jump to conclusions? Mr Indie? Amirite?
Even bigger FoS

Going to post on the hydra...
Let's just say ^ that one was knee jerk.
While I recognise what seems like obvious breadcrumbing, something is seriously off here
Overswarm did not have any night actions night 2, according to Mod PM.
However, that tracking was meant to be for Edrees, which still hasn't been explained why it was redirected to Overswarm.
I want to believe, I really do. But this in itself will honestly make it hard for us to consider Gheb's claim.
So, Tando claims cop, and we have Soviet Coffee running around in circles trying to figure out a way to clear as few people as possible.
OS flips mason recruiter, Gheb is a blatantly obvious recruit pick, and... second verse, same as the first.
Lookin' like cornered scum right here.
Adum Coffee said:
While on one hand, gheb's claim doesn't match up with my results, those breadcrumbs seem mad pure and mentos seems to love secret poisoner death millers, so from the mechanics end I'm not sure if it could happen.
Damage control, am I right?
Believe it or not I'm not going to tunnel on you though but you guys look like *** right now and it's mostly Shaya that you have to blame. And since you seem like the stronger player that's certainly interesting to me.
Shaya said:
If Mad Scummy flips scum, then Nix should die.
> The only possible scum left would be an unknown recruit, a Gheb busser (highly unlikely) or Nix (not backed up by any investigations/claims)
If MS doesn't flip scum...
Then Gheb goes into day 5, with 5 remaining, with someone vote blocked. As pointed out, most likely there is 2 scum remaining. If he isn't role blocked and/or killed (vigilante) it's gg.
This plan is ****ing terrible and does nothing to address the serious contradictions between you and EdPieces. Meanwhile you're saying Nix should die, who may not be cleared by an investigation, but had a serious 11th hour push on him by TWO MAFIATS WHO WERE BOTH VIABLE ****ING LYNCHES.
FoS
I want a full claim from Soviet Coffee, Mad Scummy, and EdPieces, in that order. Gheb might as well offer up his character and game --
after them, though. Unlikely to trip anybody up in that, but certainly not impossible. Nix can jump in there anywhere he wants as long as it's after Mad Scummy.
After everybody claims I really think I can break this game open for a definite town win. And I don't say that kind of **** lightly. I really think I can address all or most of the loose ends.
*Insert Soviet Coffee claim here*
Interesting. Funny thing; when mentosman told me he was designing a Bioware game like a year ago or something, I told him Shepard totally needs to be in it as a Jack of all Trades. I'm not sure what that means to me. I feel like I just got into WIFOM with God.
Last night I roleblocked Mad Scummy, the fact that a kill still occured means that it was impossible for him to be a killer.
Not necessarily. Town roleblockers don't always prevent a kill, in my experience. Especially since we also have a doctor, that's starting to lean overly pro-town.
What are all of your abilities?
Phew, finally caught up.
