Some thinking out loud about linkz.
When Linkz answered my question, http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5139643, I figured he was a watcher (or tracker) and that his disbelief of hatmoza's claim was him meta-ing that both investigative roles wouldn't be present in a relatively small game. Him claiming vanilla means he lied to the town and now what we need to figure out is if it was motivated by a townie's conviction that hat/spurge was scum or by a scum's desire to see the cop lynched.
At the point where hatmoza claimed, spurge was already in trouble but I don't think he was in so deep that a vanilla townie would conclude he couldn't possibly be town. I think it was brought up that it would be a strange move for scum to sacrifice Linkz (even for a cop lynch) but it could be explained if Linkz was a goon and the other members of his team had powers and also by the fact that Linkz is skilled in the art of weaseling out of a lynch. Maybe he felt confident, he could talk his way out of this situation.
The only reason I could see Linkz being vanilla town and acting the way he did is if I underestimated Linkz's and hatmoza's rivalry and that this rivalry clouded Linkz's judgment. I remember making the wrong LYLO vote a long time ago because I didn't want to be the guy that was fooled by a scum radish, my judgment was clouded by pride and I ended up making the wrong move.

yes I am also bothered by his conviction.
However, I can see how Hatmoza asked for it. He played really awkwardly, even saying "I'm scum" and "when I die and role cop shows up"...and to me, just really making a lot of statements with no evidence at any time, along with his prodding of two players claiming roles and not looking at anyone else.
So, as far as Linkz really believing that Hat was scum, I can see him fakeclaiming...but to fakeclaim so hard? It's difficult to say what linkz would have done as town/scum, but pushing the fakeclaim til the very end makes me wonder what he expected hat to show up as. Did linkz think he would be lynched if he admitted to lying without gettin scum hat? Did he think the lynch wouldn't haev gone through?
I can't think of a strategy that is best served by linkz putting all that out there.
There is a chance though that Linkz knew hat was a cop before claim..but I digress.
I want more people to theorize as to why nacho was killed.
