If I were smart, and that's a big hypothetical, I would fade EASILY into the background of this whole mess and not garner attention on myself. There's just no reason to gain suspicion on oneself so early, especially with the murders coming in so slowly. I really have to reiterate the wasp nest and stick theory... if you're allergic to being lynched, why would you smack a bunch of townies in the face? Reenk is poking progressively more people in the eye, which eventually leads to people either thinking he is scum or wanting him eliminated anyway. TinCow doesn't have to put himself into the spotlight by challenging his behavior, yet he does.

Meh. I'll flip a coin between a lurker or someone who is trying too hard to "blend in", myself.
Then I'll say it again, myself.

WIFOM. Lots of WIFOM. If one of them happens to be mafia, they are getting exactly the kind of response they want from you: "He is putting himself in danger of lynch, therefore he must not be mafia".

I'll point to you and Reenk in The Prometheus.
I'll point to you and myself in Dark Descent.

It's not uncommon for mafia to be actively putting themselves in the spotlight, because the general consensus is that the mafia are going to be the lurkers, or those who blend in. That's why the three players who we've lynched so far have not been especially attention-demanding.

I'm not saying that the mafia couldn't be lurkers, but we can't just rule someone out because they are deliberately putting themselves in danger.
