So, I think my case on TH is actually quite compelling. When I get people to do simple exercises like I did with Mac getting him to just read TH's posts on day 5, he suddenly finds he sees TH as suspicious. To me, it's like people are predisposed to like TH's style and just town read him naturally, but when they actually look deeper or consider my points, they see they're there.
I've had a natural predisposition, I think, to town read those people who seem to genuinely consider what I've said about TH rather than just running past it.
This post was quite significant in my continued town read of DDL:

Eh I don't put much stock for or against the nova conspiracy theory. A vote is a vote, it may carry ill intent but it also contains WIFOM.
I kind of not feel so good about nova yesterday. I wanna lynch either him or TH.
I also found both Nova and TH bad at that time. Although I preferred lynching TH to Nova. This post was on Day Three, so by that point you'd expect this suspicion to be fairly well formed and I would have assumed the basis for DDL wanting to lynch these two is that he had read, understood and agreed with (at least enough) my case on TH.
I also forgot that he framed it this way around... Nova preferred to TH. I only noticed this now.
But by day five it's this:

So I get the impression that both Golden and TH are mostly just complaining about how the other doesn't understand/listen to them.
Now, I could understand a turn around on a read of someone. I'm not upset about the inconsistency. What doesn't make sense to me is that he goes from essentially agreeing with my case (it was me pushing the Nova/TH link) to suggesting it lacks substance and is just be complaining.
Most importantly, day three was also the day that Dr Wilgy has lynched when I tried hard to get TH lynched. I've long suspected there is a save going in on TH on that day. The Enrique CFD swapped who was leading that lynch from TH to Wilgy. At the time I suspected Nova primarily. I already had that idea in my head. I could see DDL had done a similar thing, but I already had my town read reinforced in my head.
But actually - DDL was a key part of the CFD on to Enrique and then the move back to Wilgy. And where at the start of that very day he was saying his preferred lynches were Nova or TH, by the end he didn't vote TH at all and was a key part of the end of day actions that saved him.
So, I've been looking for who I think TH's teammates are for ages - and I've just realised that I've been spending a lot of effort saying I don't think it's DDL and I think I've been completely wrong.
I'm going to vote
[VOTE:
Dragon D Luffy] aubergine. And assuming he comes back bad, I hope that people will be willing to give TH a serious examination tomorrow, because I think there are big signs of teammate compatibility here.
