I am being weird today. Sorry about that. I will stop fucking around it isn’t going to do any good and probably hurts town. I will be vigorously defending myself against accusations of scumminess though. Because I genuinely believe that it will be good for town. ---

It’s okay, NAF, I know you’re mad that I outed you…I’d be upset too. But I had a separate wincon from you and the others. ---

> [@Drain\_Bead](#): > > I can test Lightfoot’s claim > along with what Idle says my role is. I find it implausible that Town has four killers (Vig, Poisoner, Mason kill being the other three), so this seems a safe target to turn on itself. if I do what I think I do and you do what you think you do I’m fine with that. I win with Town ---

NAF, I’m in the unique position of knowing that Idle wasn’t lying about me (thanks for telling me what I do, bud…smooches!) in his not-so-carefully concocted role reveal speech. Chances are he was trying to get Town cred for you by offering your role but swapping out the wincon, a detail he neglected when crafting his own. I certainly know he wasn’t lying about me. ---

I have been rereading Idle’s older posts. He has been very ready to bus, and the people he calls town have tended to be town. FWIW his ‘suspects’ that are still around are Ben and PCM. Of the otherboarders/PoGgers he called Episkey and crackedquads helpful, and sangaman suspicious (way before the ‘9 scum’ slip), and the rest neutral. I think at least one of Episkey and crackedquads must be town, and maybe both. He said lilflower was pro-town, so I think she is clear. That probably sounds backwards, but he was adamant that Inner Stickler was a bad lynch, and lilflower has had a bit of heat, and I think he was wanting to look good when she flipped town. The other thing I noticed was his argument with Silver Jan over whether or not she is a roleblocker. Idle posted this at Night: > [@Idle\_Thoughts](#): > > Wooohooo! > And forgive me if this breaks the “No strategy at Night” rule, but it’s like so like beating my head against the wall, that I have to reply: > > :rolleyes: What part of this are you not reading? I DID GET A RESULT: **I WAS BLOCKED!** I’ve said that twice now. I was blocked. I was specifically told I was BLOCKED from performing my Night action. > > So…hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm…let’s see. It was probably due to someone who targeted me. Hmmmmmm…who said they targeted me that Night. OH…YOU did, that’s right. > > You targeted me Night 2 and I was blocked on Night 2: Therefore: Why in heck’s name is it so hard for you to think you might be a roleblocker? Seriously: 2+2=4! It’s basic logic skills here, Jan. If that is two wolves arguing together, then that is pretty clearly strategy. I think this is probably genuine frustration that Jan doesn’t follow the logic. So Jan is likely townie. ---

I like how you take my past posts as true on faith, not thinking that I could have been planing misleading seeds even back then. 🙂 Telling ya, Episkey is scum. And so are the other three. You’ll learn. When you’re on the brink of losing, you’ll learn. ---
