Big fan of OP. Definitely don't agree with the don't be arrogant/antagonistic, as I love to play that card. But the rest is definitely spot-on with optimal town play.

Bolded is why. Apathetic sheeptown will lynch the wallposters first so they have less shit to sort through when they feel they can finally get a grasp on the game.

Its the opposite more often than not from experience, like amazingly opposite. If you can make wallposts that are sound most players immediately equate it to town. So much easier to get a player who doesnt make big posts lynched. Maybe spammy wall posters are easy lynches, but go through all of the "really hard lynches" on the site and you get far more wall post type players. Lynch bait are mostly spammers and lurkers.
Weird, I've usually seen the more concise players being read as town more often, and the wall posters being tl;dr'ed and eventually lynched as a compromise or policy following one person making a case against them.
