Well, that settles a lot. We were told not to expect Godfathers in this game in the OP, so NAF is now confirmed Town to me. Anyone care to speculate what the fuck happened yesterDay? Oh, and thanks for the heal, yo. I appreciate still being alive. ---

Going back over my notes, it looks like we now have confirmation on Zeriel’s results on NAF. As for pwnsall, I only have that he got a “successful” result on bufftabby (Night 2). I don’t recall pwnsall going after buff so I’m thinking buff is a villager, right? I also have in my notes that pwnsall was blocked on Nights 1 and Night 3 and confirmed Zeriel yesterDay. Anything else? ---

I was roleblocked. I cant fathom a town member would ever want to roleblock me when I give some form of investigation results ---

To explain that further: “Oh, Episkey gives out potential roles. They could be backwards, they could be paranoid, who knows. But I don’t want another role potentially outed” IS NOT A VILLAGER THOUGHT PROCESS. ---

By the time \*\*pwnsall \*\*told us that he’d targeted **bufftabby** , we had seen both Villager and wolf Vigilantes, a Wolf Tracker, a Wolf Doctor, and a Town Poisoner. I don’t think we can necessarily assume anything about bufftabby from pwnsall’s actions, or lack thereof. It may well be that he got a result that didn’t suggest anything in particular. ---

In other news, I have no fucking clue what Cracked not being lynched means. He wasn’t in danger really heading into yesterda, so I don’t think he could have been day angeled. ---

I was successful in my tracking last Night, but I’d rather remain mum on my result for the moment. I also received a message with my full Role PM telling me that I am a Town Tracker, which is True. ---

The ‘obvious’ answer is that \*\*crackedquads \*\*is a Scotsman, but that would seem to run afoul of the “roles that do not pertain directly to night actions” rule. **crackedquads** , were you aware that the attempted lynch Yesterday would not be successful, or were you as surprised as the rest of us? ---

**crackedquads** seems rather obvious no? ---

So it’s clear that the NAF result on atpg was due to Episkey, since all of Episkey’s results have been reversed so far. So the Episkey result was due to Ben. Episkey’s insistence that he is a Town-aligned paranoid or insane alignment whisperer seems to be directly contradicted by the reported investigations in the thread. **vote Episkey** ---

> [@Episkey](#): > > In other news, I have no fucking clue what Cracked not being lynched means. He wasn’t in danger really heading into yesterda, so I don’t think he could have been day angeled. Well, someone who didn’t know what their power was could have targeted him I guess. I’ve never come across a day angel - is it usually a scum or a town role? ---

I would also support a cracked lynch at this point but would like to hear from him (and any information about him that others might feel comfortable providing) before I decide to change my vote. ---

That is the pertinent question, isn’t it? (SP’s) It should be a night action in any case – someone targets X, X can’t be lynched the next day. I think Episkey is more obvious scum than CQ, but if this is CQ’s own power (or that of a scum teammate), then today is the window to lynch him, not tomorrow (or play WIFOM with it, at any rate). Tomorrow he could be targeted again, last night that wouldn’t have been possible. I’m baffled why neither of them seems to have been targeted last night by vig or poisoner – heck even NAF would have made a reasonable choice. But pwnsall? **vote: Episkey** for the greater evidence, but I need to think about it. ---

I’m still ok with my \*\* vote on Episkey \*\* for now. Some questions I’d like to consider though – Episkey’s result on pwnsall, which he says was bounced back when gnarlycharlie died. Seems unlikely and could be PIS. Or another whisperer. (Although surely two fake result whisperers is a little excessive) –Crackedquads - protected by scum or town? –NAF - pretty much cleared I think. Probably a scum target now though. –Did pwnsall breadcrumb anything? I think not, but I could be just obtuse ☹ –Shout me down if I’m wrong, but I’d really like to hear a crackedquads claim… ---
