You two might as well publicly claim now. Some of us are willing to give the Cult time to confirm their claim. But by hiding from us you’re simply reinforcing the case that you’re not non-exclusive.

So as of Day Three, Pleonast thought Prof. P was a cultist.
But then on Day Four, Pleonast is voting for Prof. P. This shift could have happened since Prof. P went all ‘kill the cultists’ nutty, which kind of blows away the Prof P is a cultist idea. And no longer thinking cultist, I guess it is plausible that Pleonast investigated Prof P.

I guess, Pleonast could have investigated Prof. P. But my personal take is no. Investigating someone who is likely to be lynched isn’t good play (Was Prof. P in danger of being lynched on Day 3? I can’t remember. I think he was).

The evidence isn’t as strong as I thought it would be that Pleonast clearly did not investigate Prof P. My personal opinion is that investigation did not happen, but I can see why some think it did.

I had a different take on that Pleonast post. He had found Prof P. was scum, so he called out AngeloftheNorth to give her a chance to hang herself. If she claimed to have actual knowledge of Prof P’s alignment (as either town or third party) then he would have caught another scum. So no, I don’t agree that this shows that Pleonast thought Prof P was LUTHA.

There is also this post from Day 3, talking to Idle Thoughts:

@Pleonast

I’ve voted you for being irritating while you were Scum, too. My vote on you now is because you’re derailing the lynch on Prof Pepperwinkle.

So Pleonast was indeed very keen on a Prof P. lynch.

I do agree that Prof P is an unusual target for a cop investigation (it’s not one that I would have chosen). But the evidence is that he did investigate.
