The most telling things from people are how they react to us.
As you've already pointed out, some people have a concensus that you/I are paired. I would definitely day Mele and Gerrick epitomize that outlook. Corbin is definitely focused on me for extremely poor reasons (hiding behind words, post length, etc.), yet I don't get that same vibe from him as I do Mele and Gerrick wrt to susing you and I as a team.
Kane's recent post is one I dislike because it's hedging. The one thing I don't get is how he falls in with the logic Mele has been peddling that Aers succeeded with his targeting to affect the NL targets when there is no indication of the such (chances being lower that there was a success vs just normal targeting). Further, the belief that I am 3p because of NoName dying. It's an arbitrary pick that you'd believe I'm the 3p. Especially since, seemingly, the reason is that because it was NoName that died to the Killer and I was voting NoName that makes me more likely to be said Killer.
It's disingenuous analysis at best that.
If we chop through someone to find scum, I'd day there is a potential hit inside Mele/Gerrick. I'm not as sure wrt to Corbin, but he could just be being coached by his team (if the team is Mele/Gerrick) Given his approach to the game thus far. Could be. The strict alternative being he's just completely wrong as town and will continually place subpar analysis as the game continues.
Back to Kane: that kind of post I could see coming from a 3p player. You'd expect a 3p player, given how loud Neon and I are, to just lay low and let things play out. That as opposed to posting loudly, but if posting, then hedging on perspectives would be a thing. Like, take Kane's view that I may be town. Ok, cool. Why, then, would you consider going me because you think I'm town? Because you think I may be scum? Then what, exactly do you believe? And why are you not seeking to resolve that properly outside of flipping my slot? Because, ultimately, your action literally undermines your words which serves to indicate a true lack of being genuine in the perspective you put forth.

Mele/Gerrick/Corbin as a scum team based on how thread has progressed doesn't feel right in that it absolutely has to be right.
Like, fights are being picked among, mostly, five of us. Then you have the likes of Kane coming in and adding a little fuel to the fire.
Zooming out, we still have others not heavily participating. The key problem, for me, is whether or not we're dealing with active scum players. Proactive rather -- those getting involved. Because that would point to the likes of Mele/Gerrick; however, if t/t as far as fighting goes, then scum can sit back and watch (a la Kane) since it's less work.
Vote: Gerrick
I think flipping Gerrick here will help resolve whether or not there is merit to a scum Mele. Especially since Mele was the first to be vocal about the perspectives Gerrick/Corbin/Kane have echoed.
That should help calibrate who to look at further then.
