Okay, so here’s my thoughts… leave both FCoD and Pygmy alive, but reveal what was editted out. Since the town was probably going to kill them (along with NAF) on successive Days, I figure I can just let them work it out. ---

[QUOTE=Blaster Master] You’re both right, FCoD didn’t do anything wrong. However, my concern is based on what happened in M3, where Idle Thoughts accidently got game breaking information and wasn’t mod-killed, and it very much affected the outcome of the game. I think I have a better idea… [/QUOTE] But Idle got game breaking information \*\*outside \*\*of the game thread. I think this is entirely different. ---

[QUOTE=Blaster Master] If I go ahead with revealing the editted post, I’ll process it immediately. [/QUOTE] That makes sense. The game is about revealing info, so if you process the Avatar as it should have been done and then reveal \*\*Pygmy Rugger’s \*\* post, it is roughly back where it should be. Albeit, with someone looking really foolish. ---

Did NAF vote for zuma? If so, then an Avatar event killing NAF would have changed who MHaye investigated. ---

I checked. NAF did vote for zuma. Part of me wants NAF to get Avatar-rrrr-ed because I’m sure he’s scum. Part of me wants NAF to get Avatar-rrrr-ed because I’m a bad person and find the subplot more interesting than the game at this point. ---

I’m looking forward to the town reaction to all of this. It will probably immediately lead to the dunking of **Pygmy Rugger** , but who knows what else might occur. ---

Hmmm. Actually, thinking about it a bit more (before seeing the content of the post deleted) I think its sort of unfair to put the burden on the town to decide what to do about Pygmy Rugger. Basically, they have to dunk him which, if he is scum, doesn’t change the game dynamics (other than having outed himself as a scum, which he did). If he is town, then the game is essentially over. ---

ZING! Okay, that makes more sense. But it still doesn’t rectify the issue that if NAF were to die by the avatar, that MHaye would have selected a different target at night. Unfortunately, this is of course an extension of the zuma-avatar issue. I hope \*\*Gadarene \*\*is reading this game. I think he’ll feel much better. ---

I really do hope that Pygmy Rugger is the recruit. Because if all that “Where’s Nava?” sub-of-a-sub stuff turns out to have been scum all along, there might be a small riot. ---

You see **Pleonast** , this is why you tell people what your role can do. :smack: Because if you had, there is a very good chance that \*\*FCoD \*\* would be a small smoking pair of boots instead of you as it is unlikely I would have asked for you to vote against **zuma v2**. The whole point was to kill a Cultist instead of a town-aligned power role. :rolleyes: Hey, it nearly worked. Maybe next time 😃 Anyway, pull up a chair, grab some nachos and enjoy the remainder of the game. ---
