If that's right, then brainbomb was right there on almost all my pushes and suspicious musings, egging me on. And although it could just be coincidental timing, it's strange that he goes quiet whenever I'm having a nice mellow town hug session.
I will say he's had some observations that have aged well, like aaro looking townie, and he might be onto something with the lack of bite in the rivera vs Riot subplot. The thing is that none of that is outside his mafia range. He could just observe that aaro is town and that rivera vs Riot isn't going anywhere. There's a lack of drive to resolve, for instance, rivera vs Riot that sticks in my craw. He hasn't asked a direct question to either of them about the other despite calling the interaction reasonably likely to be scum theater.
Actually, I almost wonder if brainbomb, HR, and rivera are all mafia--HR distanced from rivera because it looked like HR was going to get yeetwagoned, rivera reciprocated, they both re-upped today but toned it down because they didn't want it to become an actual focal point, and brainbomb lampshaded the whole thing because he's a fucking madman who would blatantly call out his teammates' scum theater.
