MAFIA LAW NUMBER ONE:
He is guilty of refusing to talk, deflecting accusations, using blatant manipulation, (I BELIEVE) using subtle manipulation (I HOPE TO GET TO THIS TOMORROW. I think I just realized something really interesting.), and THIS
Also I haven't been deflecting anything. I have just not been responding to you because I do not want to nor see any merit in it.
is still genuinely the most scummy thing I have ever heard in my entire life.

IGNORING THE NK ANALYSIS THAT YOU ALL HATE SO MUCH (though the analysis and his reaction to it are contributing factors), he seems hyper-focused on finding the truth. I feel like he should be more driven by like, specific goals that he has developed during this game (such as how I get caught up in pushing people I think are scum), but he's always posting things like "alright, I liked Zalak's points, but let's hear Generic's side of the story now". To me, that seems like he's just trying to remind us that he has the town's best interest at heart. Also, like I've stated earlier, he's barely put himself out there at all. LASTLY, he sometimes posts things like "argh this is so confusing", and I feel like those posts are just there to remind us that he's not scum so he knows nothing.

This could change soon. Pretty much just based on the thing with J.

His more recent posts are more null for me, but I remember he did something in the early game that left a bad impression. When he was being relentlessly attacked by Generic and Radical, in his defenses, he would post things like "I know this defense isn't very good... but", and that doesn't sound like something a town would do. I feel like a townie would have more confidence, cuz they have the knowledge that they are town.

Hasn't generated a ton of townie content, but I don't think he's really generated ANY scummy content. ThatSmasher however, was as scummy as scum could be.

He's inactive, but I usually get townie vibes from him when he posts. The only thing that puts him higher on the list than RedRyu is I feel like posts a lot of content that isn't necessarily helpful. Like, sometimes I'll see him questioning someone, and I don't feel like he has any particular goal in mind.
#7: RedRyu
Only seen townie content from him. Pretty inactive, but that makes sense considering he had to replace someone.

I AM A TOWNIE. I AM ONE OF THE THREE.
I think my biggest flaw when it comes to forum mafia, is I tend to be too set in my beliefs. I pay too much attention to the initial impressions I get from people compared to their actions later on in the game. In Gheb's Crazy Auction mafia, I got caught up in a 900 page argument with Laundry, and he turned out to be town. The same thing happened in Film Cow mafia with Kary. It's something I've been trying to work on, but in this game I kinda fell into the same trap of focusing on one player at a time in this game, and not really considering their defenses.
I'd like to argue that if I were actually playing as scum, I'd be much more focused on self-preservation, and probably wouldn't have made myself the LEADING MAN in both of this game's lynches.
SPEAKING OF THOSE LYNCHES, just because I was pushing those lynches harder than anyone, that doesn't mean I was the only one who believed in them. Like, I really don't think it's fair to give me dirt for lynching someone who claimed to be mafia, and I think most of us thought Generic was scummy since day one.
"Screw occam's razor" is basically my middle name. My convoluted theory in Gheb's Crazy acution mafia turned out to be (MOSTLY) true, so I maybe got a LITTLE COCKY, and decided to ignore occam's razor again. The theory was driven by a strong feeling in my gut, so I guess I refused to believe I was incorrect. I'm still not convinced I am, actually. I think it's very possible that Slick will turn out to be a WW, and I still have a feeling he killed Kary for the reason I theorized.
I think as a whole I've been generating good content, I just have a few major improvements that need to be made to my play as a townie.
