Ok, for realsies this time:
MacDougall
Sparing or fighting attitude vs. the great Papryco
Tested by the great Papryco throughout N0/D1, but fairly consistent in calling his bullsuit head on
tl;dr resists gaining EXP by voting Papryco; good chap
middlebrows players like Zebra or Golden in interactions with Papryco; later does the same to HB and Boom complimenting Papryco's on-topicness
prefers LoRab as D1 lynch option
tells Rico to eat a dick
dislikes HB's comparison between Papryco and him, engages in rebuttals on the subject
Mac - zebra - Mac
N0 calls zebra adversarial off the bad and sense underlying intention in that
infers a staged debate between zebra and Papryco
pleased to rattle zebra's cages, considers it required
then again, strays away from suss'ing zebra anymore, finding her legit despite agressive, and takes more focus on Papryco
D1 talks with zebra about lynching Rico, staying rooted in their opposing expectations
reads him as "good feels"
rebuttals against Zebra calling him subdued
shares two suspicions from Zebra's Six List, but confused by others being placed with no background
more banter between the two upon being called out by HB for deploying Papryco-like gaming; strong rebuttals
tells zebra to fuck off
N1
121 mentions of zebra on page 11 FUK considers zebra baiting him
[post-NK] D2 reads juliets as "most suspect and nervous" in interactions with zebra; confused by MM previously confirmed zebra as town
[post-NK] considers zebra taking juliets out of his Six List indicative of teamies
[post-NK] further pissed off by HB's connection between him and zebra and his suss on him
Mac - LoRab - Mac
N0 first post off the bat, LoRab is bad for waffling
calls her definitely bad in recap
clarifies that LoRab's tone is bad
keeps pressure on her when she decides on the night poll vote
suss's Draco for LoRab defense
engages in "previous roles knowledge" debate with LoRab
D1 resorts to voting LoRab
N1 keeps insisting LoRab is bad for better reasons in the game
puts LoRab on his scumradar
D2 criticises Epig for not doing enough to convince people to vote her
in reply to FZ., argues that LoRab remains suspect, but "has been usurped by greater suspects"
tones down on LoRab ping
asks juliets to ISO LoRab
D3 recalls LoRab, Boom, JJJ, juliets and LC as getting most attention, but suggests looking at other leads as well

emojis one of LoRab's replies
keeps LoRab yellow skittle
when LoRab wagon picks up, thinks we should stick to main wagons; reiterates counterwagon being berserk
D3.5
comments on his N0 ping vs. his current view
doesn't view FZ. as bad for slipping a LoRab vote
rescinds view of LoRab counterwagon being as malevolent as first imagined
changes to LoRab amidst tie chaos for retroactive and tie chaos reasons
[post-NK] boasts N0 ping vibes when accused by FZ. of not being inspired in finding baddies
[post-NK] N7
returns to judge D3.5 lynch: reads Wilgy, Ninja, Sorsha unlikely
[post-NK] later states Matt, MM and Draconus are more likely teamies, if only one bad team
votes
D1 LoRab
D2 HB (retroactive pings, unusual defense ping) > sig (scumread?)
D3 Matt; switches to JJJ to extinguish LoRab wagon
D3.5 JJJ; switches to Tranq for pressure and his vote on LoRab being the only unexplainable one; switches to LoRab for retroactive pings and tie chaos satisfaction
D4 Tranq (for sucking); switches to Llama; switches to JJJ for him being KFM
D5 Matt (resurfacing); MM (at MM's request); Tranq
D6 Matt; switches to Draco
alright, as for the walkthrough, this being MacPostalot, second to only Big Pappy, I'll resort to just posting his scum and civ reads and see what sticks and what pings; or better yet, you do the same evaluation upon reading this:

== Stray observations ==
=== Well, zebra and Mac were both very eloquent in analysing my spaghetti antics. If zebra took the "no mercy" approach and Mac the "bullsuit call" one, there are small odds they could have synced duties off the bat. Then again, Mac reading zebra unusually adversarial reads too much like Mac taking an opening shot at someone to feel scripted.
=== Overall, there's something symbolic between Mac calling zebra out for being too agressive (then rescinding the suss) and zebra calling Mac out of being lax (and pushing for the suss all the way through). But not sure what I can make out of this? The important detail is that Mac dropped it, but zebra did not, and baddie zebra was also quite obstinate about me, too. It could be in their nature to face off like this, but unisolated from the rest of Mac's posts, this doesn't make me come up with a verdict. Late D1 arguing looks rather genuine, so... Can only hope there's nothing to this, I guess...
=== Worth noting that zebra's Six List now only has Mac, Matt and juliets remaining alive; the other three flipped civ. Is this a point towards imagining that Mac is also put in their for redspraying? Mac, refresh my memory, in THM, did you place teamies on your legacy bullsuit scum list or only greenies? Do you think zebra might have placed teamies in Matt or juliets? Oh wait, you later mention zebra might have taken juliets out of that list. Is that true? Hmmm!
=== Up to a point, his LoRab lash makes it impossible to read him as teamie. The level of bussing required to spew on your teammate, first post in the game itself, would be just incredible. The later catfight over "role knowledge" and semantic questions doesn't feel staged either. Mix that with LoRab allegedly hating on being bussed, while not exactly losing her cool at any point versus Mac's allegations, and it really doesn't feel like a grand orchestration. THM MacBaddie was merely an antagonizer and distancer, so I've yet to catch a taste of him being grand, scheming BusMan. Also good is checking up on Epig's investment in challenging LoRab and bringing her as a subject to the other players. Why would a teamie push LoRab back into trouble?
=== Unfortunately, as it the case with several others, Mac took the pedal off this lead, either saying others have been more eloquent (D1-D2-ish), either getting spooked over the LoRab counter-wagon D3.0, either preferring tie chaos over actual top suss voting on D3.5 EoD. There's nothing to convict him of wanting to put away his trophy ping and save LoRab - he even acknowledges being in the same boat with Wilgy and others, in regards to the tie chaos vote moves he did - but it's not a clean slate either.
=== Post-thoughts on judging the D3.0 counter-wagon and D3.5 lynchfuck evolutions were highly intermittent, didn't bring any baddies to the surface and, in general, not something he seems to insist on. Mixed feeling about this.
=== posts on why sig is bad during D2 are sort of faint. He spent way more time addressing, engaging or musing about other names (HB, juliets, JJJ) only to resort to sig being the "likeliest" zebra teamie. So... huh?
=== juliets' D3 vote being as poopy as it is, is Mac genuinely bemused by her approach or taking a stadium-length step back from her?
=== now that I'm revisiting it, he went to great lengths to push a theory on JJJ surviving as a baddie...
=== now that I spotted it, him saying Golden is trying to save teammates and naming FZ and/or JJJ as such, hence everyone EXCEPT LoRab or MM involved in that four-tie fest is giving me sudden chills. MacBaddie?
=== Now this is interesting: I think Mac dismissed the idea that DH is bad for his stance on LoRab being counterwagon D3.0, but then jumps straight up calling DH bad after LoRab's lynch D3.5. Hmmmmm.
=== Well, his D4-D5 game certainly looks like slipping on spaghetti. Can't trace a single line of serious hunting.
=== That support of Wilgy spatting with JJJ, D5 EoD, doesn't look too charming, either.
=== Unfortunately for him, most of the NKs aren't players he put a suss on too much. JJJ, as the only exception, could well be a "let's get rid of you" victim, considering their back and forth. Open to interpretation.
=== Wilgy being deemed civ on D7 doesn't sit well, now that I looked over the evolution of his reads; plus it's for the same "LC trusted Wilgy" reason Sorsha baked. So same question to Mac: where has LC done that and why is it such a strong verdict. Posts, per favore.
Up until checking the scumcalls trajectory and mid-game phases activity, based on tone, gut and interaction with baddies (for the most part), I would have phrased my verdict as "Mac being among the players I can still see as civ". But with the inconsistencies, fluff & Duff along the way, not having his name on the scumlynch when it mattered, plus the uncanny skate along most nightkill names and suspects he took whole Days to put back on the table, I will phrase it as "Mac being probably #2 in my hope-you-don't-turn-out-to-be-scum list" (DH being #1 currently, FZ. #3). I have literally no strength left to push the projection past this and see if anything nefarious might be in Mac's game after all. You guys tell me what you think.
