Pedescribe, don’t answer that. There’s no reason to clarify right now. None. It might be an admission of a power role, or it might be that he thought the flavor looks interesting. Who cares? There’s nothing inherently scummy about possessing a power role, and no good can come of talking about it for no reason. > > It was an obvious slip and needed to be pointed out. There’s three cases here:1. **ped** is a power role. Deadites are not stupid and knowing who’s Town will easily pick this up as a power role slip. Pointing it out gives our protective roles a possible target. > 2. **ped** is a Deadite. Yay, caught our first scum slip. Let the Town decide if it’s worth lynching over. > 3. **ped** is a vanilla Townie. Well then he’s either going to draw an early Night kill (and better him than a power role) or he’s not. At least by pointing it out, it gives him a chance to respond, and maybe a WIFOM choice for the Deadites.In any case, **ped** ’s reaction (including ignoring me) to the slip accusation is something we can all use to help decide his alignment. But maybe you are having trouble remembering what I said originally about **ped**. > [@Mafia: Evil Dead - Signups and Night Zero](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-evil-dead-signups-and-night-zero/476736/222): > > > [@Mafia: Evil Dead - Signups and Night Zero](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-evil-dead-signups-and-night-zero/476736/177): > > > > Got my PM…looks pretty cool. > > Uh, is this some sort of admission that you didn’t get a a vanilla Townie role? Because this comment > [@JSexton](#): > > Sorry, that was meant to be clearer. Yes, the vote was based on Pleo essentially asking Pedescribe to claim. is a mischaracterization of what I said. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-evil-dead-day-night-one/477854)._
