I think the natural response early game in the "did scum choose the daykill" question was that yes, they chose the daykill. I don't really find the line if thought that Mainez took to be a natural one, especially since she identified that the daykill choice the way we assumed it worked was unequivocally the best choice but still had doubts.

firstly, if someone had the daykill, it's either me or scum because i got the fortunate horoscope and scum might have chosen it based on farside's unfortunate horoscope.
so essentially, there is no risk involved for town because scum will wanna kill a town player; obviously there is high risk for scum because that person will be claiming scum should the daykill go through.
This seemed like an oddly semantic thing for Mainez to latch onto. She also tried to warp this into inside knowledge that scum didn't have the nightkill, but that seems like a really bad stretch to me.

Up to this point, there was a long series of posts where Mainez sort of half-pushed elusive and the culminated in the "you're not looking so town" point. But despite all of the pushes and posts around elusive, Mainez doesn't put a vote down until the vote on Aronis, which came immediately after Aronis said that he didn't want to vote on the elusive wagon alone.
That seems strange to me; Mainez had strong conviction on elusive-scum while the bandwagon was happening but never voted; that looks like Mainez was afraid of actually voting elusive and actively pushing the bandwagon forward until it looked like elusive was the for sure lynch because she didn't want to poke the bear.
Aronis is the much easier vote and suddenly having enough conviction to vote him immediately after the elusive post seems off to me.
It also concerns me that there's so little interaction happening between her and Metal Sonic this game; there's only been the friend town read and nothing more, which looks like defending each other because they can get away with it, especially since they're willing to vote anywhere but each other.
