kokirion: kokirion is at the top of my current town list. He's applied constant pressure towards the now-dead scum we've uncovered and was nearly a potentially successful lynch target for them. The only thing that stood out to me was his writing out the whole case on himself, but I suppose he was only trying to prove a point. Not much else to say here. Town read.
My early read still stays the same. I could look into his posts specifically, but I get a very consistent theme in his posts in regards to how he stands: it being that he's been a constant antagonistic force for the mafia we have uncovered.

@Mido who do you suspect right now?
- Tristan: I had to reread Tristan, especially since his post count is in that mid-to-low area, however, as a disclaimer, I am sort of thankful for that! (Easier to get through, but I digress.) I like how Tristan was dubious of the DekuNut lynch and he even outright stated that the evidence was not sound. I sort of have a dual read of this, as I can see scum doing this as well, but Tristan's outright pursuit of Pendio, (and towards the end of the previous day, Eduarda), looked very promising. His approach towards the two was very inquisitive, and I doubt that scum, in bussing their teammates, would put so much spotlight on them, especially more than one. Town lean at the moment, but I have very slight reservations. If he's scum, he's playing a good game.
- Libk: Libk hasn't been too active, but he did voice that he was busy, so it's fair. I never noticed much from him. Goes along with setup discussion, but hasn't been present during the voting sessions as far as my recollection goes. I get a sort of discreet vibe from his posts, but it remains to be seen where these elements go. Potential scum read, but I could very well go back on this.
- Doc'sac00lStorm: Another one on the replacement block, but I have a small note to mention on JC/Doc. Like Frozen Chosen, he voiced apprehension regarding the first Deku's vote wagon. Aside from that, he has primarily voiced setup concerns, which seems to fit the JC mentality. He did not, however, express any sort of voting direction. Then again, JC wasn't around in the game long enough to perhaps establish a stance, so the situation works both ways. Null/scum read. (Mainly because I generally have distrusted him in the past, only to be wrong most of the time.)
I haven't read too much since my last post, so I'll share my last set of reads with slight updates as removing people I once though suspicious. My views on Tristan are more of a general wariness whereas the latter two are somewhat more legitimate.

As far as what to say now, I'm still skeptical of the mason claim by Dekunut and Sadia. It could hold true, but it's hard to really check without one being dead to confirm this. Mason's wouldn't be uncommon, but the claim just rubbed me wrong. On the flip side, I also don't want to risk lowering our numbers if the claim is true. It's messy.
I am willing to believe their claim at this time, however, I do have slight skepticism towards it much like yours. (All circumstance-based, keep in mind):
1. This point is more of a gut feeling in regards to the setup. With wizards harboring multiple abilities for themselves, I assumed that the town players (and the mafia as we know now) would operate individually as separate entities. A mason group with a huge assortment of powers (if we are to assume our masons have as much powers as we have seen from other players' deaths) could perhaps be considered OP. Then again, their mason ability could be something that limits the pair from having too many powers. No evidence truly supports this, as I've noted, and I lean towards its unlikelihood.
2. If the first point is somehow correct, then a mason claim would be easy to make, since nobody could realistically counterclaim. Sort of a standard point in regards to claims.
3. Notice that both DekuNut and Sadia claimed after the death of (as far as I know) the town's most powerful investigative role in the form of LG. Quite the convenient time to claim since, in theory, given the lack of the presence of an investigative town role at the time of the claim.
Despite all of this, I will wager that their claims are true.
