Okay, I'm going back and reading Russtifinko's case on Alien, and the Alien lynch makes a lot more since now. I didn't keep up with what was going on end of day 1, and was only noting Alien's constant probing on other people's posts (including my own) which is why I gave Alien such a strong town-read. That aside, I'm going to analyze the lynch and some of Alien's posts, and give my thoughts.
B

ased off of the Alien lynch, I give
Russ a pretty firm town read from his effort to call Alien out. It also convinces me that
MacDougall is town because I don't believe Alien would have tried to form a case against a scum-mate.
Now for all the fun WIFOM in Alien's read lists:

Colin - light Town although I don't remember why I have that in my head
Kyle - I don't remember any of their posts, null read
Marmot - Same as Kyle
Robot - Null, nothing alignment-indicative so far
Russ - Light Town because their posts accusing me felt genuine actually
Spirit - Same as Kyle and Marmot
Turnip - Same as Robot

Alright, legacy reads as of right now bearing in mind I've missed the past few pages:
Scum: Russ - once I die please go back and read my response to his case against me because it's completely biased and agendary
M Plus 7: my gut is back on him again now after he suspected me trying to catch up and I have no idea how he got to that, and 'player salad', feels like he's just trying to find reasons to suspect me again. Will repeat his dogpees didn't feel genuine to me at all
Probably scum but gut says Town: Mac, reasons same as before, but gut is saying his reactions to my slowly turning against him is Town
Town: Tsiah, Jay, both I love their lines of interrogation and they just seem really Town to me. Aby, her defence of me from Jay felt really genuine trying to figure Jay out and wasn't afraid of splashing herself with what was being thrown my way
I wanna say Luna's town now for her defence of me too
Everyone else has for + againsts that I outlined before, nothing really changed on those
When I read
JJJ's analysis of Alien and Colin's interactions, Colin didn't look very good to me. Add that to the fact that Alien slaps a TOWN on him at the very top of both read lists, and I'm pretty convinced
Colin is scum.
Jay's in-depth analysis of Alien's interactions makes me think he's town. Regardless of what ever WIFOM may be going on in Alien's posts.
MP has to be town. I have been convinced by his effort in this game, and also by Alien calling him scum.
If
Sprityo was Alien's scum-mate would Alien really do him the disservice of not giving him at least a tentative town read? Perhaps Alien didn't care about the sprityo case because sprityo is town (Complete 180 on my previous sprityo read, but that was a forced GTH, and I'm allowed to change it).
Alien kept a pretty neutral read on Robot for a while, but then
in this post Alien felt a need to point out that Robot was exhibiting town behavior. I'm inclined to suspect
Robot as scum.
DharmaHelper has a rough, devil-may-care approach to mafia, which makes it easy for someone who hasn't played with him before to peg him as scum. This may be why Alien thought he could drop an easy scum read on DH. But he also ignores DH in the rest of his player read posts. I think DH could be town.
Kyle, Marmot, and Turnip are all listed as null, and are only mentioned on one of the above posts. I'm inclined to think Alien gave three townies null reads because he didn't want to put in the effort to peg them as scum if they weren't posting things obviously questionable, but that opinion seems too easy, so off to JJJ's analysis posts I go.
Kylemii/Alien: I couldn't find a [mention]JaggedJimmyJay[/mention] analysis here?? Alien remembers none of Kyle's posts and gives a null read. Could be genuinely ignoring a townie, or deliberately distancing from a teammate. Kylemii's references to alien seem just as distant, since he doesn't know who alien is and asks other players to characterize alien's gameplay for him.
Kylemii just strikes me as town. idk
Marmot/Alien: Alien seems to have a hard time grasping who Marmot even is. However it could be an act. Marmot may be scum.
TH/Alien: this analysis leaves me with a very blank read on
Turnip Head. Their initial interaction originated from TH posting "Luna is bad. Anybody want to fight me?". The rest of their interactions give me nothing. TH did vote for Alien, but didn't give a reason why. TH could be scum.
Okay, Alien defended me and Aby in almost the same way. We both stuck up for him, and he gave us town reads for it. That gives me reason to think
Aby is actually town.
Tsaiah doesn't get mentioned until Alien's legacy post. At which point Alien gives her a "town" read for seeming really genuine. I suspect Alien might have done this because he knows a scum read on an "obvious" townie player won't get him anywhere. Tsaiah may actually be town.
I apologize if my thought copy what others have said. I didn't exactly catch up on the thread before diving into this.
