This is a good point, but I've actually seen noobish town do this as well to seem helpful.
And I'm sure you all know how disdainful I am of godfather theories.
However, despite that, I think Burbank would be an O.K. lynch today. He's been taking the middle road, and the point about lying about the scum team is a good one. In addition, I'm starting to think Wilder's innocent from his level-headed defense, and, like you say, the convos he had with LEGOman's character make him look less scum.
Mhm, knowing Burbank, I think he'd distance himself from York pretty fast after that. However, I'm kinda thinking that York's mistakes were that of a bored vanilla townie. When she first arrived, she asked for PM chains, right? Well, she was a very noobish player, and she likely wanted some action. If she was scum, she'd have more than enough action - why beg for PMs and go around PMing people? Food for thought.
Yeah, this would be definitely possible as well, but I kind of think Burbank's response to York is not that of a townie.
This is the only one I don't see. Someone like York wouldn't think to do that.
As do I.
In addition, Daly makes a spot-on point about fake PMs - I don't think he'd call him out on it unless he was a townie certain about his decision, so I'll follow his lead here.
