Did you just compare Jexy to Swiss? That kind of made me smile a bit. The thing about Jexy and Reader is that they have 0 meta and therefore we have no way to know how they play.
Occam's razor mainly is who benefitted most from Zen dying when taking out the fact that he was the Hitman, you did but it's a very small point because scum just benefits from killing the clear in general. I mean, if I was scum, I would have kept Zen alive because he had me as his hardest town-read and also for the fact he wouldn't have been a threat. Occam's razor also suggests that since you are not really posting and showing much thought for your reads I think you are also becoming more likely Lazy Scum. If there is a proactive scum in this game, it is Kanty. I am looking at both sides of the coin here.
I was right on Ditzy for the reasons before so through my eyes if I am seeing you doing similar things, that makes me believe that you are more than likely scum as well. I also trust Zen's ability to nail at least half the scum-team when he is town so I am putting faith into his reads and giving the dead person a voice.
The only varibale I see that could end in the game being a lose for town is if Reader is in fact scum, but meh I just do not see it currently mainly because there isn't a whole lot to look at. I cannot really see his hammer being that of a scum-hammer.
I would like to go in a bit more on my scum-feel on you since I have gone into Kanty a bit. I feel you are more likely scum because in your update post it really holds nothing but air and things that could be presented from both angles. I'll go more into it here with this excerpt.

cuz PoE is real. reader's approach to the game from the get go and j's proactive scumhunting are enough for me to feel confident about em both
You vote Kanty because PoE is real, yet you give no reasoning as to why he may be scum. Like, at all lol. I mean sure, you can say Kanty is scum for PoE but what about his play is scummy. If you could expand onto this a bit, I would be appreciative.
Then you say that reader's approach to the game is why you are confident about him, but what exactly about his play is making you lean town? Reader sits in my book as a null because that is what most of his actions have been this game. I just have a problem seeing scummer quick-hammering someone and putting their face right in the bullseye if Ditzy were to flip town. Feels more town than actually scummy.
Then you say you have me as proactive scum-hunting, when in a game like this, isn't really the best reason to give someone a town-read and looks more like a cop-out. I caught scumDitzy and got the wagon going but the thing is, there are two scum-teams. I mean I guess I'm proactive but there is just no one else willing to do anything. I actually wish I could switch my role PMs with the actual mafia member so I could fix my meta, but eh I like being town more.
I mean the read you go into the most was your Jexy read and even then it looks like you are trying to leave yourself a back-door if Kanty flips scum that you can just go and switch on over to him in LyLo if it came down to it.
Basically, the reason I find you as scum is that you are being incredibly vague in your responses to reads and then there is the fact that I just don't believ you as town more than likely. Plus this line:

i've been mad inactive in this thread and, admit it, none of my play has been inherently scummy. so wouldn't that mean that the case that may be against me is chock full of nothing BUT assumptions?
Feels like you are more so appealing to my emotional side over that of my logical side. You have been inactive, that's not a point I am holding against you. You say none of your play has been inherently scummy, well again, the same could be said for anyone. The only person who was scummy blatantly was Ditzy and look where that got him haha. It does not mean the case against you is chock full of assumptions. You are also in the boat of PoE with Kanty so it's just *shrug* there too.
I have a question for you though: Why did you make the posts at the end of the Day Phase where you were stressing urgency and distress over the fact that Ditzy had been quick-hammered? That does not really seem natural for a person like you to do.
=========
I'm still mulling over toDay and who should die between Gorf and Kanty. On the fence still and content to sit here. Kanty has two votes so if I voted him, I'd just quick-hammer him. I'm also not voting Gorf because if I vote and sleep + Kanty votes and Reader comes in and quick-hammers, I'll be sad.
