Finally, Swiss gives us some reasoning. Trust me, I've already considered this 5 times over. If you recall, which I'm sure you do, I'm not alien to this concept as it is exactly what I used in DnD to stay under the radar. Thing is, there's a point where genuine town clueless-ness starts to shine through those suspicions. I would never have gone to the lengths to act so honest that I name claimed and claimed my role entirely at random unless the entire thing was planned by my scummates. I simply would not have been good enough/confident enough to craft it myself. With Dietz, he's obviously not fake-claiming this role as Rockin confirmed himself as his neighbor (unless you think both are scum, which you don't). And, due to the nature of his role and the information accessible to him if he were to be scum (a QT with Rockin and a QT with his mates), I'm positive his mates would have found it more fruitful to gain information from forming a bond of trust with Rockin than randomly outing the neighborhood for the vain hope of gaining dumbtown points for a player that certainly wouldn't be expected to carry their faction come crunch time.
And besides, the only scummates I could see being crafy enough to tell him to do this is Me, you, and possibly Ryker. Since you're both pushing him and I obviously didn't tell him everything just seems to line up as it appears: dumbtown.
