I'm on mobile, just started my shift at work so it won't be pretty.
Here's the thing, Oa, CoolKid, and now dead W3 are all variables. We cannot get solid reads on them, regardless of how much you look.
Shock is unpredictable, but rarely a liar. If he's claiming cult, I'm willing to believe it. I'm down to hear how he isn't.
Andre and Kae are probably the most helpful, but that doesn't mean not a cultist. In fact, Andre wouldn't be a bad target for recruitment, but cultists don't really matter here. I don't get leader reads from either. Kae could've been recruited, but I think that's a bad recruit. Too active, too much attention.
I'm town. Not cultist yet either.
Link is semi confirmed leader.
As for Root, early game Root was the post judge. He sat back and decided who was useful publicly. This is a pretty power move from a leader. By forcing attention on certain people, he can hopefully influence the other leader. I think he wants kae or Andre to be recruited so he can kill them. Later, root gets pretty defensive on me from some pretty minor pressure. Root has played games with me in the past, and knows my reputation. He knows I have to fight tooth and nail to get anyone to listen to my proposals. Very interesting thing to defend.
According to Kae's Lynch log, and today's votes, Root hasn't started a wagon. He simply joins them. Maybe this is deadline/TZ conflicting, but Kae when we were scum we always piled on wagons and rarely started our own. as scum this is the best way to influence who gets killed without looking too sus.
Mws setup here was terrible given that he didnt make good on his promise and other problems Link pointed out, but this doesnt really matter. Mw still considered Root as a leader here, which makes it impossible for town!mw to have seen cultist (ofc he could be leader as well or (at this stage) swapped target for some ungodly reason, but he still offered the best setup for a leader to copy without pointing out their own cultist or taking a bigger leap of faith)
Sorry for being inactive, but that’s unfortunately how I intend to roll this week.
I’ll provide you with some info, though. Root is town.
First to make a claim explicit, though MW waffled around a bit already. only reason to expect a cc would be if he were a leader.

Why did you choose him? just genuinely curious.
@coolkid you already have 1 night worth of info (if town) and if you wait we'll take that as you making it easier for yourself to make a fakeclaim. Mind you, serp allows us to most likely have you as an extralynch if you dont contribute, so you might even survive the day
No real mechanical reasoning, really.
Evasive about the motive. My question was not as innocent as I made it look, in my opinion there was little reason to think Root would turn out to be a cultist. Main reason to do this claim would be to piggyback of MW. MW telegraphed that he didnt see cultist!Root, which made this claim fairly safeish. In the alternative case (MW not town or deviating from planned target) it still would serve to push MW further into lynching Root.
Can someone give me a TLDR of N1 claims? As far as I can see there have been nothing except me (and MW) on Root?
As I called out earlier, wrong sense of priorities from a towny. Oa being first to explicitly claim could not hope to catch someone in a lie. Vice versa however...
You should have recruited me (i even kept the pressure at just the right lvl to backout, yet make it clear I was suspicious of you
), now im hoping for the good will of the other leader in the future.
