You told us you lied about who you targeted, not about knowing what your role is. Or were you lying about lying? Don’t bother answering, because I won’t believe you anyway. ---

> [@lilflower](#): > > How convenient for you. It’s too bad there isn’t some magical way to contact (PM) some omniscient being (the Mod) to get that information. Which I’ve done so shut the fuck up. My targets: N1: special ed N2: Dancecat N3: lilflower N4: LightFoot N5: pwnsall I was not successful N1 or N3. Lil was probably angeled N3 which is pretty lol considering how wolfy you were. I think I was roleblocked N1. Guess what happened to everyone else? They died. Drum roll pleaseeeeeeeeee: I’m a neutral vigilante My win condition is to survive until one side is victorious. It does not matter which side it is. I don’t remember why I targeted special ed, but I targeted dancecat cus I wanted to kill a 2p2er who could solve the game, N3 I wanted to balance it out and kill a wolf, thought lil flower was wolfy, and she was protected. N4 I almost targeted lilflower again but remember I couldn’t do it two nights in a row, so targeted Lightfoot instead. Last night I targeted pwnsall for pushing my wagon so hard and having you guys waste one of my lives. ---

There is no day angel as far as I’m aware, it was just a cover cus I didn’t want to role claim yet. ---

Obv anything I say should be viewed with skepticism, but here’s how this is going to go down from my pov: I just need to survive til the end of the game. I have a certain number of lives to help me do this, and I can also vig whoever I want. I can be roleblocked though, and my targets can be angeled. I won’t use my power anymore if I’m left alone. For every day the village tries to lynch me, I’ll kill vig one person each night who was voting for me. If the wolves try to nightkill me, I’ll vig my biggest wolf read that night. I am told everytime an attempt on my life is made. That’s about it for now. ---

> [@Gadarene](#): > > In addition, do not expect any roles that do not pertain directly to night actions – there will be no godfathers, no millers, no double voters. That much I can tell you. How would a multiple lives role play in with there not being any roles that don’t pertain directly to night actions? Even if you do claim to be a vig as well. ---

> [@Scathach](#): > > One of your lives? You know you have multiples? > > So you’re claiming to know your full role pm then? I was told I was a neutral and that I had a fixed number of lives in my role pm. I was not told my power though. I figured I was a vigilante just because I’m a neutral, but that was confirmed on N2 when I targeted and killed dancecat. N4 it was a lock when I killed lightfoot, and obv I knew what I was doing when I killed pwnsall. ---

A neutral vigilante. Lightfoot and pwnsall were shot. Was DanceCat? I can’t remember. You’re still postulating essentially pure luck in someone (whether town or scum) ensuring your lynch yesterday. But you didn’t claim yesterday, you only claim today. lilflower never claimed protection that I remember (and Inner Stickler WAS shot that night, right? So who killed him?) and I’m almost positive that Special Ed never did. What does “wasn’t successful” mean in this context, what sort of message? ---

Being tough isn’t really a day action. I just can survive a few kill attempts. I don’t have any other powers besides being tough + being a vigilante. ---
