It's a bit odd that scum got killed during Night 7, and then there appears to be no kill Night 8. I think our driver died though, so I was wondering if the indie had something to do with the kill on Reinforce. But, there being no kill Night 8 - and the fact that it doesn't look like there was an attempt - gets me a bit confused. >~>
Anyways, I think a lot of indies (a bit like scum) tend to be in the middle when it comes to cases. They don't seem to attach themselves to cases very much, because if it's on scum, they risk getting nightkilled; but if it's on town, they risk being lynched. Attaching themselves strongly to lynches tends to backfire on them too. They also tend to lurk/fly under the scumdar and not contribute all that much, again to avoid the nightkill.
I've got a few likely indie candidates in mind, though I'm not going to say them all just yet in case the lack of nightkill this last night is not a permanent thing. If there is a kill still, and if it's the indie operating it, then they might kill some of my more likely indie reads unknowingly, which would be helpful. I'm most confident in lord o/
@double o squirtle right now, as I think the case is most solid, whereas the cases I'd have for my other reads are bit more WIFOMy.
Lord o in particular kept moving around on my scumdar, but even then, here's sorta been flying under it. Here's something that I posted in my QT chat, after quaking flipped, which shows why he kept moving around for me:

Neutral siding by lord o
here. That said, I think
him backing off here is genuine pro-town newbie-town just not following properly (which tends to happen when you're playing by yourself as town). And then
lord o says quaking is strange Day 4 but doesn't act on it, which is a possibly scumbuddy scumtell. (They vote for quaking later, however.) lord o is jumping around my scumdar far too much, tbh. >.>
This also shows lord o having neutral siding, which is a common indie tell. In hindsight, that pro-town newbie-town thing could also come from an indie, as presumably they are also playing by them-self. The problem is that really, it could be both an indie or townie thing, so I'm not putting much stock into it. As for double o,
his vote on simsands is certainly interesting, as it came without contribution (or explanation, for that matter).
The main concern I have with these tells is that new town and indies tend to do similar things. Many new town also lurk, bandwagon and/or tend to not contribute that much. There is still the neutral siding though, which is moreso a tell shared by indies and less experienced scum.
##VOTE: double o squirtle
