I was looking for The Big Case that I assumed you made somewhere to get a fuller grasp of your feelings about him and then to compare it against his suspicion of you. I was a little surprised that, at least for the first half of the game, you didn't assemble a comprehensive case. You certainly expressed confident suspicion of Quin, and starting on Day 3 it became a constant thing.

He's a cop.
Hey Quin, what is your opinion of sig? Straight up.
This was the beginning of Scotty Hates Quin. You "did a read" of him and came to a conclusive read: that he's a cop. I won't even concern myself with that, it's the next bit that is of interest to me. Why, at this moment, did you care about Quin's opinion of sig? This is not meant to be accusatory. I'm burrowing into your brain and extracting data fragments that will help the people in my laboratory determine your motivations.
Eventually you did produce a larger case against Quin, on Day 6.
In hindsight, Quin's thorough understanding of what the warden does, and the external prison thread, is of interest. Initially I thought it could just be implied from the role description, but that might be too generous.

The yellow bit seems to imply Quin knew something about the
other people in the jail beyond just those who were arrested, which is not implied in the role description and indeed was a total secret until Day 5. The orange bit is less jarring, but perhaps still of interest just because of the language Quin used. The prisoners definitely have "some sort of goal to achieve", they have exactly that. So on one hand that's a
good ass guess on Quin's part, and I can understand it being called
too good. I don't know why the warden would just blurt this out into the game thread, that seems like an absolutely silly error for him to make. But it's possible. He doesn't even have to be the warden, he could be some other cop who chatted with the warden in BTSC about the nature of the prison.
Talk about this Quin. My confidence is shaken.
Otherwise, Scotty, there is one recurring theme to your analysis that I think needs to be revisited now. Your suspicion of Quin in this case seemed to strongly rely upon his relationship with Boomrique (you thought they'd make good cop team mates):
Scotty wrote:If Enrique/Boomslang is bad, Quin is a great candidate. Enrique was in no danger of getting lynched D1, and even though Quin keeps him in the periphery of his suspicions, he doubles back with "I'm feeling better about him" on day 2. How convenient. But no matter what I said or how i justified my Tranq vote, he keeps pushing the envelope. Quin continues to read Enrislang as town to this day.
Boomrique has since been lynched and flipped town. What impact does this have on your mindset?
