> [@lilflower](#): > > I’m thinking \*\*NAF \*\*could be a power stealer. I might know more after toNight since he targeted me last Night. I asked this just a few posts ago, too, but is “mimic” another word for “power stealer”? Basing it on what bufftabby has said, it appears that NAF stole my power and didn’t just mimic me. Not sure if that means anything, however. ---

We tested it out and it seemed true. So my guess is is that BUFFTABBY is a (LYING) third party too (because she’s not scum, that’s for sure). ---

Bufftabby is lying about it for some reason, anyway. ---

Lynch Bufftabby! **Unvote NAF** Vote Bufftabby She’s lying for some reason. 100 percent honest. No way NAF could just steal the power. If she’s not lying…then someone is (and I don’t mean me) of: NAF, Ed, Buff. Seriously, a lynch of NAF or Ed would be good…but Buff has suddenly shown herself to probably be a good one too. ---

> [@Idle\_Thoughts](#): > > Never got the result I was blocked. **Septimus** , the cop, got a message from someone else (one of the random ones sent out among all the cops) that Janet was a roleblocker. After she said she targeted me, we figured this was another way to get Town cred. Underlining mine. Why would I need Town cred from you??? You would already know I am Town! I think you wanted to have me cast as the roleblocker because it’s usually a scum role and thereby discredit me, Chris!! ---

**Idle thoughts** Read a little bit of the last few pages, solid slip up Idle 🙂 pwnsall I’m very curious as to what the hell you’re talking about wrt to my supposed theories that are wrong and that I should know better. I have nfi what you’re talking about and I haven’t even been here in like 5 days, are you confusing me with someone else? ---

Actually we don’t need the whole thread voting idle, can we come to a consensus on a second wagon? It probably won’t matter because there shouldn’t be any vote mechanics/day actions in this game (mod op says actions relate to night actions only), but just incase there’s something I’m missing I don’t want a random 1 voter ending up dead. ---

He (Pwnsall) is just trying to smudge you so he has a reason to vote later on (if need be). But chances are they’ll just kill you toNight, crackedquads. Yeah, major slip up. But at least tell me you had zero suspicious of me until that moment just to pander to my thoughts that I actually am GOOD at this game. 😛 ---

No way I’m a wolf that you say is going to be the nightkill because when you guys don’t actually nightkill me I’m prob going to get lynched. And if you do actually NK me like you say, well I’ll be dead and it won’t matter lol ---

There have been a few suggestions to discuss your “other” suspect but not much response. I stated when I voted that it was a damned if you do damned if you don’t situation. Not voting Idle leaves you hanging out for suspicion. Voting him at this point leaves no record. My intent at the beginning of this day was to solidify my case agains PCM who I voted for yesterday. But with all the ‘white noise’ here now I think most of us have decided to see how it all shakes out. ---

But with all the ‘white noise’ here now I think most of us have decided to see how it all shakes out. I mean if I vote for a second wagon to ensure shenanigans don’t occur it’s on the players on this board to not be retarded and assume it’s a sign of wolfiness on my part. Idle is a lock wolf, but there’s more to consider than just having the remaining 28 players or w/e the hell it is all vote for him. Like me voting for Idle or wagon 2 is supposed to have absolutely no bearing on my affiliation when wagons are analyzed later. It’s pro-village to keep two wagons here as long as Idle remains the top wagon and is lynched. ---

If anything me suggesting a second wagon should look good, not vise versa, because bussing Idle if you’re a wolf here is a lolobvious way to get village points on this board. ---

Meh. In the end it’s meaningless. Voting for an outed Scum is the nullest of null tells, because everyone’s expected to do it.
