Which is pretty much what a scum would do, wouldn’t they, if they wanted to keep up the pressure without any suspicions of fishing? Whether they really believed it or not? I don’t see that as a point in your favor.
Read that. then read it again. then read it again. Prior to your claim, to the best of my knowledge NAF would come up as scum to all investigations. So why would I ever have assumed that your change of heart would come from you being an investigator? If I thought it was possible you were an investigator, I probably would have given you more slack to avoid forcing a claim. Hell, if I were mafia then I would probably have given a suspected investigator even more slack because they’d eventually claim. What you’re saying just doesn’t make any sense. If your claim is real, then you have 1.) a role that no one has heard of before (well, it sounds a bit like Denathor’s false claim, but that’s about it) 2.) the only town role that could possibly have confirmed NAF as innocent last night. Expecting people to have played as if they knew what you were is silly.
Again, it makes sense from a scum perspective. Not-scum Idle is all over NAF, all the way up to Dawn. Five seconds after dawn breaks he’s changed his mind, with BS reasoning to boot. Honestly, what can that say to scum, other than investigator? Unlike the town, they know it’s not scum BS. What makes more sense?
– Idle’s being weird, but it means nothing
– Idle’s an unconventional sort of investigator (see Guiri’s question about the Book that Idle just linked)
– Idle’s some bizarre third party that needed to change sides as regards NAF for who knows what reason
NAF: Idle lists about 9 players who found his behavior suspicious and 4 who he thinks were role fishing (a claim he has not substantiated). If at least some of them weren’t scum, I’d be shocked. That’s a third of all living players.
