Huh. Obviously, Mac's "reveal" yesterDay was a last ditch effort to save himself from the lynch, and I think on that basis that we can dismiss the possibility that he is the ranger. In that regard he is clearly telling the truth. THe tricky part, in my mind, is that both an innocent and a mutineer would have equal reason to try anything to stay alive - so which is Mac? Lommy's posthumous ranger reveal doesn't help me that much either, since she could also go either way.

I guess Mac could also be a cobbler just trying to distract us at this point, but my big question is - and I suppose this also applies to the issue of whether he's evil or not - why would an evil player, particularly a cobbler, who had convinced the village that he was the ranger proceed to immediately admit that he was not? That kind of relinquishing of power gained reminds of George Washington and Cinncinnatus, and looks almost innocent. A wolf could conceivably do something like that, but a cobbler certainly wouldn't. There would be nothing to gain, as far as I can see.

So we can rule out that Mac is a cobbler, just as we can rule out that he is a ranger (IMO). It's going to take some further reading for me to decide whether he's innocent or a mutineer though. I'll try to come back after dinner.
