Whee, page eight brought the fun!
Also what's this?

Well tbf. I probably would have just hammered klazam and figured it out tomorrow. Think there was one more person that was active around the time and opted not to hammer so townpoint to them.
But maybe that makes klazam my partner actually… or that person could have been klazams partner.
Actually now that I’m on the topic I dunno why we’ve kinda blown past it and none of the voters followed up on what I would assume was a pressure wagon out of rvs.
Is this... Am I detecting an attempt to distance by claiming that RCE
would've
just hammered there for the heck of it, now that this is a safe thing to push since townies have been distracted with shiny town wagons? Why yes, I believe it is! It's so self conscious of that way in which RCE both made a flippant comment acting like hammering Klazam there was actually a good option (y'know, in case T-Bone actually does) and then immediately they start working to discredit the push.
Seriously, this whole "oh I think I'm going to be hammered" from Klazam around page five comes off as pretty fake. I don't see Not_Mafia here, the odds of a page five hammer not even 48 hours into the game over some vague suspicion are not high. It feels excessively worried like scum would likely feel here, knowing that they are scum and having that increase the feeling of pressure.
And the pushback on Merlyn's lack of vote likewise is not towny at all, in contrast to RCE's attempt to portray it as such. It comes off as an attempt to
look
unconcerned with the votes on him, but why should Klazam be so focused on a lack of voting him when there was already a large wagon on him? "Why
aren't
people voting me?" doesn't seem like the line of thought a townie is likely to have here, it seems like a way to discredit someone else and look like you're selflessly scum hunting. Merlyn hadn't expressed nearly enough suspicion to warrant such an early hammer; if she'd voted in the post he took issue with that would've been e-1 and shortly thereafter a hammer. See my sig for supporting material on the concept of people not wanting wagons hammered early.
I'll get caught up on the most recent pages later.
