> [@pwnsall](#): > > i never said i wasn’t roleblocked, depends what you mean by explicit i suppose I’m not asking about the specific wording. What I wanted to know is if it was abundantly clear from your PM that you were blocked, or if you were merely inferring it from some other information yo received? ---

CORRECTED Summary of message shenanigans (the parentheses denote what we know about the content of the message but doesn’t say anything about the recipient). Night 1: Scuba Ben gets a message that Jan is a villager (veracity unknown) Weedy gets a message that Texcat is a villager and a mason (confirmed true) Giraffe gets a message that Blaster is a villager (confirmed false) Idle gets a message that Dancecat is a villager (confirmed true) Idle gets a message that NAF is a villager and a mimic (unknown) Jan gets a message that gnarlycharlie is a wolf (confirmed false) We know Dancecat was able to send her alignment so that accounts for Idle’s message. We know Blaster could send false alignment so that accounts for Giraffe’s message Night 2: PCM gets a message that he is a villager and the apothecary (unknown) AskthePizzaGuy gets a message that NAF is a wolf (unknown; contradicted by Idle) AskthePizzaGuy gets a message that Episkey is a wolf (unknown) Donkx4 gets a message that Dancecat is a villager (confirmed true) Ed gets a message that he is a villager and a power booster (unknown) Idle gets a message that Drain Bead is a villager and a reflector (unknown) Giraffe gets a message that pwnsall is a villager On Night 1, we had two messages with both role and alignment. Idle is pretty sure his is correct (about himself) and know that the message about Texcat is correct. So the question here is why PCM got one that doesn’t seem right (i.e., how did he get a message about role and alignment that wasn’t correct). Also, on this Night there are three role/alignment messages and only two on Night 1. I’m not sure that means but it’s curious. Also, based on other claims, it seems that Ed is the power booster so at least that part of his message seems correct. And if we believe Idle, that leaves Episkey and PCM as the odd men out. Night 3: Scuba Ben gets a message that Weedy is a villager (unknown) Idle gets a message that he is a villager and a detective (unknown) Episkey gets a message that pwnsall is a wolf (unknown; contradicts Giraffe’s message) ---

> [@Giraffe](#): > > For completeness, don’t forget that I got a message on Night 2 saying that **pwnsall** is a Villager (unknown). Thanks. I also forgot about Episkey’s message about pwnsall that he got toDay. I think the corrected list is correct now. ---

So far we have \*\*pwnsall \*\*claiming to have been blocked on Night 1, \*\*Idle \*\*claiming to have been blocked on Night 2, and **J.D.** claiming to have been redirected on Night 2. As far as I can tell from what has been claimed, all three of these people were informed in their results PM that their action was blocked/redirected. Then we have **Special Ed** , who appears to have been redirected from **bufftabby** to \*\*NAF1138 \*\*on Night 2, but who apparently received no notice that his action was redirected. I’m going to ask now for the third time: J.D., how do you know that you were Redirected on Night 2? ---

No. He wasn’t redirected. I copied his power and then used it on myself, but I didn’t know that’s what I had done yet. ---
