I don't see the case on Texcat as strong enough to justify making him a serious lynch candidate just yet.
There are three possibilities:
1) He's town, and Scathach's reciprocal investigations have been blocked to prevent mutual confirmation.
2) He's scum, and claimed a successful investigation of Scathach to make himself look more innocent.
3) Both he and Scathach are scum, and he claimed a successful investigation to make the pair of them look more innocent.
To me, the first possibility seems plausible. For what I think are pretty obvious reasons, the scum wanted Swammi and Guiri dead asap, which would make blocking Scathach a no-brainer.
Moreover, we can see that, without confirmation, Texcat's claimed investigation hasn't done much for his town cred and, indeed, seems to have done more to make him a suspect. That much is, to my mind, quite predictable.
Now, of course, this doesn't write off the second and third possibilities - the scum might have felt they could rely on exactly the kind of defence I'm now putting up. But that still leaves us with the question of why they thought it worthwhile to take the risk of drawing more attention to one of their number, and also of tying him to another player so early on in the game.
Perhaps others can see something I can't here, but, whilst he should remain a suspect, Texcat looks to me like a bad lynch for today, especially when we've got other players around who did nothing at all to indicate they knew their names on day one, and have done little since to deserve any real town cred.
