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** : > [@Mafia Reunion - Day Three](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-day-three/778068/602): > > 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. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mafia-reunion-day-5/779271)._
