I think there are ways round my power; a roleblocker would be one. I suspect BlaM’s dream-kill power was another. If there’s a third I could be dead Tonight.

Ultimately lost information is no use to the Town. But, prematurely revealed information could allow the deadites to work out my protective plans. That’s why I’ve balked.

It would help confirm me, yes.

I interpreted “two deadheads” to mean “two people who really _really_ don’t belong in the Evil Dead movieverse.” My character does - it’s a well established type.

It’s not an unreasonable suspicion - it’s just that events have disproved it.

On reflection, I’m going to reveal who I protected on the first three Nights. I’d rather keep my Night 4 protection hidden for the moment.

Night 1 : No-one.  
Night 2 : NAF1138  
Night 3 : NAF1138
