Party pooper. J probably would of answered the question the same way I would of, but I guess it doesn't matter.
Nabe should go simply because everyone else is much more townie than him by default. It's not even that his actions are necessarily scummy, per se (although I do believe he has done some scummy things). Rather, he simply has not cleared himself, were pretty much everyone else has.
Yes, Tery and X1 butted heads, but you know who else butted heads? J and X1. Pretty much just as much as Tery and X1 butted heads, maybe a little less. Idk, you'll have to check that to make sure, not that it matters much.
You want to know what else happened? J KILLED X1. Prematurely, when scum could of easily gotten someone like Tery (assuming J is scum) lynched. Why would they do that? Why would they agree to kill one of themselves off so early? So that they could create WIFOM? So that they could give J a free ride to endgame? Maybe, but it's much more likely that it was a townie J doing that. Although I honestly COULD see X1 pulling some insane gambit like that, just to be awesome, I still think that it is much more likely that scum (even X1) would want to preserve themselves.
You're stating the fact that you saw J visit me as evidence to J being scum. Well, okay, maybe. Maybe J has some scum pr and visited me during the Night using it. However, I CAN confirm that nothing has happened to me, not that I know of at least. I have not been silenced, and I'm not dead. Also, J's cop story checks out. I know that DH, who was handicapped with a scum like claim, ended up getting a reviver power upon death. So it makes sense that Kirb, who was handicapped with the suicidal townie role, would get to bestow a townie with something like one-shot cop.
As I said earlier, Nabe has done some scummy actions by himself. For example, I don't recall him really doing anything for town since he replaced in. Sure, he has been super analytical of pretty much everything, but in the end it seems so . . . mechanical. You can analysis what's going on all you want, but anyone can do that. He hasn't really formed his own theories, or pushed his own reads until toDay. On top of that, what he does analysis is deceptively shallow, and he seems to be on repeat a lot. Perhaps this is hindsight bias of mine but I seem to remember Nabe always going over the same things all the time, maybe with just different wording. It's the prime definition of phoned in content, and it's what I would count as pretty freaking scummy.
There are three main things that DO worry me about a Nabe lynch.
1. Tanny called Tery town. I know this might sound like worthless WIFOM, but honestly, when does scum ever directly call there buddies town? I mean like wtf, that never happens. Ever. I mean sure I guess Tanny might of been trying to get the lynch off of a buddy but still.
2. After I made my case against Tanny, J was just like "Oh, interesting case there Swords!" In other words, J didn't really take a position at all, just kind of blew it off. Kind of in a way where she could go either way with it. Can't fault J too much on this one since he was caught up in other things but still.
3. When Tery replaced out she was all like "I can't tell you guys why I'm replacing out but just trust me, it's for a good reason!" That's sooooooooooooooo townie of her.
Anyways though, I'm sure I could list a whole bunch of points as to both why J could be scum or Nabe is, but above is the main reasoning. All said and done, Nabe simply appears much more likely to be scum than J.
