I think there is credibility to this theory. Think about the players who you commonly see get mislynched. Think about their playstyles. Now think about their play in the games where they get mislynched. They often are minimal posters who do not appear to be as invested in the game as other players.

It is true that these players don't always get lynched but they almost always arouse suspicion. It is the same for prickly, or spiky as Maggie Smith puts it, players like Thor, LlamaFluff, and Magua. They are often not lynched but they do arouse their fair share of suspicion for being generally more antagonistic than average.

It is a trait I've noticed in my own lynches. When I talk down or insult the town, I more often get mislynched. When I appease to them, acting nice in the process, they mislynch me less.

But I do have to say, yelling at the town is cathartic. :shifty:
