Caught this question. Sorry for the delay, I'll respond now.
I don't think IAUN's suspicion of Twomz was well justified. His recent turnaround on Pug is somewhat worrying as well. As well, 454 makes the (relevant) argument that he hasn't been contributing a whole lot. This isn't enough to make me lynch him, but it does raise my eyebrows.
I have private thoughts on Mayhem about why he thinks I'm town, and I am keeping them "private" because, while plausible and perhaps even correct, it is all mere speculation and the logic tends to break down on serious scrutiny. I'm keeping it in mind, but I don't think sharing it will benefit anyone right now. He seemed a bit pushy on the Pug case, which makes me think he might be trying to lead the town. I need to look up Mayhem's other games to fully commit to this point, since without taking playstyle into account it's an unreliable tell at best.
In more current events, Naba's pushing of the Alabaska wagon is a bit strange. While I will admit (as I have before in this game) that his reasoning is a little borked, I do not believe an Alabaska lynch is our best move at this time. Also, as I mentioned in 257, Nabakov seems to hold the opinion that if you don't think as he does you're anti-town (a reasonable interpretation of "It is the town's responsibility to kill Alabaska" is "If you're not voting for Alabaska you are not town"). I think it's totally possible for people to have different playstyles and have them both be town, so this false dichotomy of his isn't winning any points with me. In fact, it's having the very opposite effect. If Alabaska is town I would think the scum would be ecstatic about his wagon. It uses up one of the town's lynches and possibly a vig action when town viggs are very finite, provides no immediate information, and gives them the chance to get a two-for-one by nightkilling whoever shaft.ed hides behind. This makes you trying to strong-arm support of the wagon very suspicious.
Pug does not seem to be responding well to pressure at all. I'm really not fond of the way the wagon grew; Mayhem repeated that Pug was scummy until it became an issue, then everyone piled on based on rhetorical questions about the wording he used. His last post, however? It's really hard not to read that as, "Dammit, he might have gotten lynched if I hadn't been so hasty! I shouldn't have stuck my neck out!" I am somewhat torn; I pointed out that his vote on me was OMGUSy, but since we have some time remaining I would like to try to explore Nabakov a bit before the day ends.
My top three right now are Naba, Pug, and Alabaska (in that order). If there is inadequate support for a Naba wagon or he's able to assuage my concerns I am not opposed to hammering Pug (so don't think you're off the hook just yet).
