If Thil was doing some sort of bussing gambit in order to become confirmed town, that puts other scum in the awkward position of having to decide which scum needs to get bussed more. And Thil's whole claim-but-here's-some-anti-CC-insurance thing doesn't sit well with me.
And if thilisscum, the gambit means he is very likely scum power. Om nom nom.
Also, this is setup-guessing, but if Thil was actually town I refuse to believe that someone in the bloc wouldn't have been shot at. Scum would likely assume that any town doc in the setup would protect Thil, meaning us obvtownies are suddenly left bare.
When I re-read in earnest I am going to take a look at other people who reacted awkwardly to the thil/pine thing.
I didn't look at it this way. This is worth considering. Still, letting the bloc live could also be basic wifom (let alone this is the first time we see full night-kill power, so scum may have tried to hit the bloc earlier in game). Or there may have been a good reason to kill someone else. I will re-read the later ISO of the two fresh corpses who turned out to be town and post my conclusions.
