@abraker, I believe that you're attributing a lot of NAI information as actual reads.
You need to go into more detail. Which specific things are NAI information?

You need to that just because he does this "analysis" doesn't make him a townie.
This is correct, it doesn't

Like I said before, I believe that he is trying to control the narrative with his "analysis", by giving us information that benefits himself as a scum. I pointed out at the beginning of today that his plans always seem to benefit himself more than anyone else. He has pitted us against each other because he knew that we both suspected him at the start of today. He wants to distract us away from suspecting him and wants us to go against each other.
This has as much truth as me saying, "Penguin is trying to control the narrative by trying not to follow along what Sakura said we should do." Does it really help in figuring out who's scum? No. Does it try to make one person appear less trustworthy and another appear more trustworthy? Yes.

Figuring out who is scum in "an orderly fashion" gives full control to abraker, since he is the one who is doing all the "analysis". That is why he refuses to answer my simple questions. I'm not refusing to engage in analysis like Sakura wanted us to do, but there is no reason why abraker can't answer my questions first. Abraker figured out that he can use Sakura's plan to benefit himself as a scum.
I was avoiding answering questions because I wanted to clear Igor first.

The reason that I am pushing so hard against abraker is due to my previous suspicions on him, along with the fact that I believe that Igor is a townie due to his town slips and his general town play, which means that it HAS to be abraker. There will always be a lingering fear that Igor has been scum all along, but at this point in the game, everything points towards abraker being scum and Igor being town.
Since we both can agree Igor is town, next please come up with an analysis on me.

@Igor, since we are both clearing you as town you are taking on a critical role here. You are going to act as the judge between us because at the end, your vote is all that matters at this point. You have all reason to believe both of us are trying to miniplate you. You can't really manipulate facts, however. If you believe someone said something without reason or is just false, point it out.
Keep in mind it is in scum's best interest not to follow anything logical. That's the only thing that can tell truth from falsity. Doing so puts scum into a very tough spot because it can be very likely a conclusion would be found that proves they are scum. This why even if I am "controlling the narrative", it cannot be anti-town to analyze players from an objective lens. If Penguin doesn't want to do that much, it will be very telling who's side he is on.
Town-like behavior is not to try and push scum on a specific person due to something they did. You have to lay out all the reasons that they might be town and all reasons they might be scum like I did with you. Your analysis was overwhelmingly town. If I missed something scum like, Penguin should have said so.
Now all that said Penguin's behavior worries me. Scum try to control the narrative and try to divert away from logic and reason, and prefer to speculation as proof. Penguin is currently pushing me to answer questions rather hastily without agreeing to look at things from an objective lens. Pushing me even though I said he will get his shot to ask those questions. Even if he is town, given all what I just said, these actions are very anti-town.
While you are thinking things over keep asking yourself this: Among everything we say above, who speaks more truth than speculation?
