Starting in on the research, here is a Thesp summary. Had to start somewhere, no agenda implied by this choice. If anything it's just that this iso has a manageable number of posts.
Key to 1st char: n=null t=theory q=questions s=takes a stand r=response
Note on "taking a stand" posts -- some of these are taking a stand on the application of theory to this game, most of which are stating that the fake cop claims are bad, lynching the possible doc is bad, etc. I marked the ones which are pure theory as such. Any post which had other content was marked as the other content.

13 Taking a stand
Iso total 26
I'm happy with the way Thesp is taking a stand against the fake cop claim scheme and against lynching Team 9 just to see if the doc claim was real. I could see town going through that initial questioning period, but could also see scum doing the same to feel out how strong the players being questioned are on their reads. There is a definite progression of type of post. Someone who doesn't distinguish between posts which are pure theory and taking a stand against a bad theory play could easily interpret this as being more than half misdirection. Overall, plausible for either scum or town. Feels a little more town to me, scum should be happy to see systems where PRs might be outed unnecessarily. But it's not an especially strong read.
