Bill biabi, your case has several flaws.
First, I was looking at seeing the outer borders. I wasn't saying a GF couldn't be in the game because scum would be too strong. My posts were seeking confirmation that Aeronaut and dragon were indeed town. Your point about balance is irrelevant. While obviously the townie was likely truthful, people can disagree about balance and both be town. Otherwise, mafia discussion would be boring and empty.
Second, you haven't really taken much of a strong position
according to the vote counts
at the game. You've always been in the sweet spot middle, which is where scum like to hang out on a wagon.
Third, I cannot comment on what Cheetory was actually thinking but reads do indeed evolve. I haven't read the past game, but given the fact you misrepped my thoughts on Aero, you misrepping Cheetory's read evolution (which I'm presuming without looking) did happen.
Fourth, your case is largely conclusory. You put forth that all the good is "distancing" for show. The neighborhood tactic is a strawman. I could always paraphrase the chat, but you'd just go back to this strawman anyway. The strawman can equally be turned into a strawman of "you killed him, and saw the opportunity to make the very argument you're making now pre or post flip". It's an argument that can't really be proven or disproven.
