Idle’s reason for clearing ba townie NAF would be that:

In the event NAF dies. Idle can claim he gave us a good peek.

In he event idle dies we might all wonder about Naf’s real alignment.

It’s wifom 101

And I legit think I’ll die soon one way another, I’ve polarized myself by pushing Naf and Normal so hard.

If I’m right, I’m going to be pretty damn pro-village after finding and shipping two wolves to the grave, if wolves don’t kill me it’s unlikely I’ll be mislynched.

If I’m wrong and I’ve spent this much effort only to result in killing villagers, the villager is likely to mislynch me and the wolves won’t need (or want to because I was wrong) kill me.

Either way I can’t imagine me making it til end of game.

Yes. If seer actions resolve before kills do, there’s no reason for this not to be a deal. I knew \*\*Lightfoot \*\*was a mason, after all, so I wanted to investigate one of the claimed masons to make sure they weren’t fake-claiming scum masons.

Actually I can agree with this to a degree. I think given it was in direct response to the naf = wolf claim though, we can assume it was to protect naf. The other thing to consider is that he could have done the exact same thing with episkey but choose not to.

Either way at this point we have to resolve NAF to find out. There’s no way we can let him live.

Agree w/ the fact that zeriels claim right now doesn’t really make sense if their all wolves, unless they think NAF is a very good PR and they can’t let him die. If he flips wolf then zeriel is a non-true seer or a wolf depending on how powerful naf is.

Yes, because it makes 0 sense for scum to make that move.

Fuck scum wouldn’t do that. I am, if I do say so myself, possibly the most unpredictable scum player of the group who plays here. I am the one most likely to pull fucked up shit for the sake of pulling fucked up shit as scum.

_ **I** _ wouldn’t have done that. I wouldn’t have endorsed such a move. I particularly wouldn’t have done it after scum had lost almost half their number (over half? They said 9 right?). Why? Because there is no chance of long term success. At some point one of the two players will get outed and then everything goes to shit.

Listen, either me or Episky, _ **probably both** _, needs to die before endgame. There is no way around that. It would be better if we could be taken out at Night, but you can’t always get what you want. Town easily has this mislynch so I am ok with going down. But your case against me 1) assumes that scum are idiots 2) isn’t really supported by the facts of my game play. Go back and look at my play assuming I am town rather than scum, it makes significantly more sense and requires far fewer assumptions.

Hell, Idle demonstrated PIS that he knows I am town, but no one is paying attention to that because people like you are showing shocking amounts of confirmation bias.

You should be lynched on general principle after I flip town just because town doesn’t need players like you guiding the discussion.

Naf, it’s not that either you and episkey need to die before end game, it’s that you need to die today. We just can’t let you live at this point.

If you’re a villager what you need to now do is give us your reads and theories so we can use that information to make better decisions once you die.

If he flips wolf, my seer powers are true or false randomly, or he’s a godfather. I have three results that exactly matched the subsequent death reveals for those people.

If you’re talking about me, check the signature line.

I suppose, if “naive” also gives exact word-for-word results on the roles.

Have we had a non-true cop claimed or revealed yet? I know we’ve had a lot of propaganda roles and the round-robin mystics.

i got a result last night that she s a detective

so her wolf role is basically limited to wolf mystic seer at this point

she wouldn’t control her peeks in that case and i think the other mystics claimed who they targeted

You have all my reads and theories prior to toDay, I haven’t decided how I think things have changed yet but you will get them like I always give them.

You presented a fairly fucked up case against me and now that you have been called on it’s fucked upedness you are changing your tune. Anything to say for yourself?

Assume I am town. Assume you know 100% I am town. What do you do? You personally. How do you bounce back from how badly you have screwed up here?

I could see a naive get the result with villager switched in for wolf. Can’t you?

Not saying you did. But most of our investigations have been fucked up

Nafcertainly does not need to die now. A zeriel flip can confirm him
