check out this post history (pretty much every other post is irrelevant horsing around). aside from the post about apollo, none of this seems like it's coming from a townie mindset. answering for tank is wolfy, and posts like the last one are sooooooo commentary mode. in fact, their whole tone seems almost robotic, or at least overly formal. even the townie stuff (asking questions and following up when someone doesn't answer, making your vote match your convictions) is surface level and awkward. there's nothing genuine behind it. this is someone who knows what others look for when they try to townread someone and is following that "code of conduct." their endgoal isn't solving the game: it's to look townie.

While the case here isn't strong enough personally for me to get antsy for a vote on them, I can at least see where they're coming from it's honest. I'm not sure I'd go ahead and say that all of answering for somebody would be wolfy, but it's something to keep a note of, especially when there's the potential for it to happen multiple times for the same player like what I thought was happening when it seemed Dora was doing the same thing.

Not shoehorning into acquisitioner acting a certain way and playing solely based on that, but keeping worlds open.

There's a very slight chance this could be a setup for backtracking if molly ends up getting lynched and ends up being town, but I think it's more likely here that they're just cautious about wagons forming too quickly which is a towny mindset.
