@pindicator;
I think it's extremely flawed to assume that since the mafia we've caught so far have been playing a lurkish game, all the mafia are playing a lurkish game. There's definitely a more active agent or two trying to manipulate the town. I get the sense from waterbats posts that he's been trying to subtly push an anti-town agenda, but that he's not naturally good at pulling the strings. He was definitely active at the Merovech lynch, and was pushing hard to save Catwalk.
I also don't understand your point about waterbat being a lazy villager. If he didn't care about the game as you suggest, why would he be active immediately after the deadline? He's also popped up just before a fair few lynches. To me, that suggests someone who is interested and engaged in the outcome, directly contradicting your theory. Am i missing something here?
