I haven't had time to read them very carefully, but I did note that part about "my pm has information that a vanilla wouldn't know".

So, I'm going to have to take some notes on him and see if I can lookfor the general flow.

Oh and I also wanted to mention something last night but forgot. Someone chided him for "pretending not to know setup" using the "how many scum are there usually in a game of X size". See, I chided him myself, noting that he seemed to be trying to act smart or useful and being scummy for doing so. His change in effort could be indicative that I hit a nerve.

Paranoia kills townies.

So I reread HD, annnNNnnNnNnND, I think he's town.

In fact, I started getting a power role read on him about halfway through...he keeps mentioning "alignment", but he's really trying to say "role".
I also liked his post of "how do you know what my pm says...therefore you are mafia", the argument actually makes sense in a strange way. I also liked wonk's response,...it makes me feel good about wonk as well.

After rereading I'd say there's a good chance that both wonk and HD are town.

Also, I think doc should at least consider protecting HD. I'm not asking you to actually do it, but I at least want mafia to consider that he may be protected.

I have a very strong theory that explains almost all of his actions.

Thanks, but what can doc do if my real foes, the paranoid townies, kill me first? :S

I also felt good about pezus.
So, after the re-read, I'm thinking pezus, wonk, HD are town, adding on to my previous feeling that manuel is also, and spurge, slight town reads on rol, moreno, and trucks.
Which leaves me about 10 suspects.

Also, I don't like how Hat flipped on his feeling about HD so quickly. He soon abandoned his thoughts when HD said he was padib. I didn't like that.

OK, here's my theory, because scum are likely going to figure it out anyway, so I think it should be put out there.

I think HD is the cop. His pm might've said something like "investigate someone, and you will see if they are pokemon or human".
This explains the arrogance (usually a sign that someone is making a BIG mistake voting them), it explains him constantly saying "you'll be sorry when you see my 'alignment'" (what he really means is "role"), it explains his non-accusations and no-votes, it explains his "I assume the best", and his response to me of "all in good time", and it explains his understanding of human and pokemon as mafia and town.

Also if there is a cop, please do not step forward to dispute my theory. Stay hidden.

I think pezus is legit town or an excellent mafia, not only because I want him on my side and I want to avoid a lynch (just being transparent), but also:

Why would he vote me so soon unless he saw that I seemingly mafia slipped (which I didn't it was a confusion with my flavor) and wanted me out. It's either that or he is incredibly smart and planned it all along. And that's also possible, since he acknowledged Rol's ability to pre-seed the turf for future days. (I'll get the link in a sec). If he was mafia, would he behave that way? I don't think so unless he were a very good noob.

I get a good read on M.U.G.E.N. because, though I gave out a mafia scent, he refrained from voting me because he thought I was playing mafia as a townie. Remember when I said at first that humans were mafia, pezus asked if I gave something away. Mugen then said: "it was maybe intentional" and voted rol instead. But why would a smart player (he was smart otherwise he would've voted for me regardless, but he saw alternate possibilities) vote Rol? What insider knowledge could he have? I know cops can only investigate at night, but is there a possibility that he had some kind of insider scoop on some of the players?

*playing mafia as a townie" -> by that I meant role-playing mafia, while being a townie.

i.e. to fool mafia at the expense of seeding doubt in my fellow townsfolk.

(Which is not what I was doing)
