As for dsister, it's true that we didn't test his lack of a vote ala trangentspree, but it seems like an awfully big risk for him to take that we would all fail to think of that. And his role is a bit similar to trangentspree (only he can become one with the town if he desires, which he did), so I guess I'd ask someone more industrious than I am who roleclaimed first?

That does seem like a big risk.  Hmm.

I quickly scanned a couple of pages and it looked like the role claim order is:
1. j0
2. Trangentspree
3. Dsister

Well, that makes dsister a bit more suspicious IMO due to the similarity of his role to trangent's; he might have just mashed up something that was kind of similar but sounded different. 

The idea to vote theRepublic as a way of pressuring him to roleclaim is also making me leery.  I'd like him to spill, too, but he said he wouldn't until some L number that I forget but which seemed way too risky:  it puts us in danger of a human ninja-vote attack.  If two humans remain, and they get a mislynch on theRepublic and kill someone at night, we lose. 

In fact, yeah.  If there are two humans left, we can't afford a mislynch.  Hopefully there's only one, but...

Anyway, I'm open to suggestion on why YOU were finding dsister most suspicious, theRepublic. 

It seemed to me like his role was a convenient way to avoid voting for his human buddy SuperMario.  That coupled with his attitude regarding SuperMario's slip-up on Day One lead me to think he was also human.  However, I wasn't really thinking about it the way you put it above.  It was a big risk for him to take if he really could vote.  It would have been easy to prove if he was telling the truth or lying.  So if he really was a human, I don't think he would have taken that risk.

In my mind, that brings me to either Nordlead or SuperAdrianK.

Nordlead was the first to vote for SuperMario.  It could be he saw it as a way to get on the town's good side.  It could be that he never thought the town was actually going to lynch him.  It could also be Nordlead trying to keep up appearances.  Look what he said here:

...For example, if I ever no-lynched off the bat on day 1 people would probably be suspicious of me, as I almost always try for a day 1 lynch...

His lie detector role claim could have come from Trangentspree's actions on Day One.  It was already implanted in everyone's heads so there is a chance he used that hoping it would seem plausible.

SuperAdrianK was the hammer on both lynches.  It could be he saw hammering his human buddy SuperMario might be a way to get on the towns good side.  He also seemed sorry to do it.  Hammering Trangentspree could have been him taking out what he knew to be a zombie or at least not a human.

They both have unverifiable role claims.  Your thought that Nordlead's role claim isn't strange enough is very interesting to me.  Both dead zombies had crazy roles.  You have a crazy role.  Dsister and SuperAdrianK claim to have crazy roles.  And I know my role is crazy.  Lie detector does seem a bit too normal by comparison.

The other thing that stands out to me is how consistent SuperAdrianK's play has been.  Almost from the start he kept saying how awesome he was, and talked about his awesome item.  That leads me to want to believe his role claim.
