not so fast fillies, i want to make a case on Twistedracher first. here is a compilation of most of his posts.
Hi everyone! I've read the thread but honestly not a super lot of thoughts thus far.
no content, but overly polite
Did I miss a mason claim? Ww and sudgy? I see several references but no claims.
Who are masons? And why did you claim so early d1?
playing confused and innocent
Sudgy strikes me as his idealistic town self
Well, I am confirmed town pretty much...
Oh right sorry.
a town slip? maybe. or just another attempt to seem towny?

SK and sudgy. SK got worried about sudgy's wagon.
It's not confirmed, but looks relatively certain.
Ok, we can wait for confirmation but I'd believe it. Probably came out too early if thats what it was but not much you can do at this point. Masons are very strong.
let us not make any enemies. just be friendly to everyone.
Town read on silver spawn for me. I'm more suspicious of hydrad than xp but I don't have strong feelings on either one, I guess. Hydrad's post where he basically said "but I've always been town, and I'm similar this game, so I must be town here" stuck out the most to me.
again. i vote for him. his reaction is to post a town read on me. just stay on the safe side.
and now we get this:
Re-reading, and this post moves me from 95% convinced to 99.9% convinced that SK and sudgy are town:
I think it is just too easy for one of us to get killed. A smart scum team would leave us alive to blame us, yes? So yeah, kill one of us if you want proof. Preferably me, I suck at this game and Sudgy is a better player.
Looking just at how this whole thing went down with existing:
Robz888
Hydrad
silverspawn
jotheonah
Eevee - pointing out in-thread is doubleplus town
Kingzog3
Witherweaver
chairs
Voltaire
XerxesPraelor
sudgy
SK
Twistedarcher
Townier reads on WW, Silver, Zog, joth (these are the most tentative). Leaving scum in Hydrad, Robz, chairs, XP, TA.
This list seems extremely correlated with activity level thus far -- would you agree, or is that just a coincidence?
This reason doesn't really make sense -- it just seems like you're trying to get anything to stick on anyone right now.
He can't just be friendly to everyone, that would look suspicious, so he does attack some people, but he does it in the safest way humanly possible. make a careful remark about Votlaire's list. jump on the hydrad wagon - not last, not first, just somewhere in the middle.
I mean, this could totally be a careful town play, but I could also see a scum playing exactly like this. Don't post much; just post enough to not stick out. Don't do anything crazy, that will get you killed. Make a few redundant comments, post a few nice town reads on people that are either confirmed town anyway or that might attack you. be nice to everyone. if there is an opportunity, make some accusations that will be popular. In the end, go silently onto the wagon. A town will be lynched, but there is no reason for anyone to suspect you more than the others.
Honestly, this makes me not want to lynch Hydrad so much anymore. Can't we do Twist instead?
And before anyone thinks I'm trying to defend my scum buddy - the possibility that you spare Hydrad now is not big enough to justify the risk that I'm putting myself in when Hydrad flips scum.
