So here’s some stuff that happened in the middle of bufftabby railing at me about that whole night-talking thing, so I hadn’t put much thought into it until now.

On Day 6, bufftabby expresses suspicion that Hal Briston (Mafia) is scum. Turns out she was right! She says that she is expecting him to be modkilled, but that doesn’t happen. So… on Night 6, Hal Briston is killed. If bufftabby is a wolf, it tracks that they would have gone ahead and used their kill to take out Hal Briston, since he wasn’t taken out by the mods.

But wait, there’s more. Here’s the full paragraph.

I feel like I’ve found myself agreeing with him at multiple points throughout this game, and haven’t gotten a scum vibe.

I had been going pretty (okay, very) hard at Inner Stickler, so this piqued my interest.

Does anybody want to guess whether bufftabby ever bothered to go about clarifying what she’d found so agreeable about him? Nope. Her vote remained on Hal Briston and she was content to let Inner Stickler get lynched.

This, again, is in the middle of the night-talking argument. As I pointed out a few posts up, bufftabby had claimed the previous Day to be keeping an eye on me.

Now, friends, if I’m a Person of Interest to you, and I’m going after a player who you’ve caught no whiff of scum from and have found yourself “agreeing with… at multiple points throughout this game,” wouldn’t you take the opportunity to at least look into it? If not right then, then certainly after the guy I’ve been going after flips town, right?

…nahhhh.
