So onto hunch number 3, charter member of the Gaspar Fan Club®, Rowain:
Piggyback's novice on day one.
Passive defense of thestick.
That was all that really stuod out on day 1 - generally he sounded Rowain-ish except the novice thing, which is not his style. As a general rule, he tends to run contrarian to whatever Novice/Zak do. Day 2 on the other hand...
Not going to paste, but he starts out night 2 on posts 406, 408 and 412 attempting to discredit novice. I don't think questioning anyone is bad play, but to my ears he was not questioning him (village move) but rather trying to attack his credibility (scum move.) After zak dies and day 2 starts, he goes right back to friends with novice in posts 504 & 540 in what I read as a "ok novice is on wrong track, I can get behind this" kind of tone.
So scoring at home, 2 days, 2 piggybacks of novice with a mild attempt to discredit him in between. Then he swapped to pindicator and never left, but more importantly...
Then it really starts, what sort of drew my attention to him here:
In the spoiler is 9 solid posts where he's asking about other people's reads and sharing none of his own. I generally believe this as scummy play - scum LOVES finding out everyone else's reads without sharing their own, because it allows them to gauge where they are in the "ranking" and adjust their play accordingly. Nothing wrong with asking for some contribution from folks here and there to clarify a read, but spamming up the thread with it while saying nothing yourself... scummy.
And... really that's all of day 2. There's another dozen similar posts. I've looked through Waterbats skimmer like 15 times and everytime its "Hey so and so, what do you think about this?" without once ever really explaining how he feels about anything.
Anyone doubting, go look for yourselves. Just one post after another quizzing people without suggesting so much as a single original thought.
So hey Rowain, why don't you tell us how you feel about the game before you play 20 questions with everyone else again?

A normal (more so nightkill immune) thestick was far more outgoing and participating.
Again he might be wolf but if he is not (and MAtt is true too) we have let the wolves f** us real hard. (outing 2 PR's and maybe killing one of them).

I've got some dirt on my shoulder, can you brush it off for me?
