> [@Suburban\_Plankton](#): > > How is this clear? I’m not saying that you’re wrong, but at this point, it’s not ‘clear’ to me. So both Ben and Episkey target atpg. atpg says he gets two results, saying that NAF and Epsikey are Scum. NAF is not Scum. All of Episkey’s other results have been wrong. So it’s clear to me that Episkey is responsible for the NAF result, not the one regarding himself. I think at least one Ben investigation has been proven right (will have to make sure on that one), so Ben appears to be an accurate role whisperer. He is not naive or paranoid because he’s gotten both Scum and Town results, and his having gotten only one Scum result suggests he’s not insane, either. Therefore, Episkey did the NAF, Ben did the Episkey, and the Episkey is probably accurate. ---

Go to your User CP and click “Edit Options.” Scroll down until you get to “Thread Display Optoins” - it’s the third box. Check the “Show Sigs” box. Save. Signatures should now be visible.

In that case, it does seem clear. Unless \*\*Zeriel \*\*was somehow redirected or otherwise deceived concerning **NAF** , I don’t see any way to argue against that. And Zeriel gave no indication that he wasn’t certain of his result. This also would seem to clear **Silver Jan** and **special ed** as well. **vote Episkey** ---

> [@special\_ed](#): > > We must lynch him toDay lest he be Day protected again toMorrow That only makes sense if you think he was day protected on purpose. Given that no one else seems to have been so far, I think it’s reasonable to assume that whoever did it didn’t know that was their power. ---

Before I get actually tilted at the game again, I’m going to step away for a few hours. I apologize for my “with a brain” comment, it came out of frustration for the absurdity of thinking I’d ever be lying there in either role. The whole “well, cracked should be lynched, isn’t and nobody knows why, but oh well Episkey is lying about being roleblocked so vote him” argument is tilt-inducing lol. So far every bit of “evidence” against me involves “but you could be lying!!!111” and is impossible to defend. I’ve pretty easily showcased how this role those who think I am a wolf believe I have is pretty anti-wolf once it’s broken down, but that didn’t matter. I’ve explained everything that’s happened to me from the moment this nonsense started, but that doesn’t matter. Hell, I’ve even cleared villagers correctly all game (Krayz, Dancecat, Pwnsall to name a couple), but that doesn’t matter. The only thing that matters is “welp, it’s possible you could be lying in a game in which there’s so much confusion and unknown information soooooo VOTE”. Hopefully after a good night of many beers and terrible movies (shark night 3D whaaaat) I’ll be in a better mood and we can figure this out. ---
