Everybody gets PMed results. Lots of people have got alignment peeks. One or two have got a role PM with their own name at the top that didn’t seem to apply to them. Idle claimed to have been PM’d a full role and alignment peek. I don’t think anyone else has. ---

I had no apparent result otherwise. Curious. N5 you targeted pwnsall, who got shot the same Night by CQ. I don’t believe NAF or LFv1 reported anything significant the following Day. So you probably counter some specific role action. @LF v2 and lilflower: IIRC, Idle claimed to have received full reveals for multiple people, including himself twice on the same night. It’s quite possible someone is handing out their target’s full role, as well as someone handing out incorrect full roles. ---

After she said she targeted me, we figured this was another way to get Town cred. This is after Idle was caught out as scum, claims not to have been roleblocked after all. So either: [ul] [li]Idle was redirected, targeted DrainBead, and accurately reported PM[/li][li]Idle targeted fellow scum DrainBead, switched the alignment, and claimed to have been PM’d by someone else to divert attention if DrainBead flipped scum[/li][li]Idle really did target village DrainBead, accurately reported result. Claimed to have been roleblocked for village cred.[/li][/ul] Or another obvious possibility which I’m missing entirely? ---

I had no apparent result otherwise. Your Night 0 action presumably did not go through NAF reported feeling “safe” on Night 1 LightFoot felt “a warm glow” on Night 3 pwnsall wound up dead on Day 6 septimus reported receiving a “warm glow” on Night 1. He reported targeting you on Night 1, so if he is a ‘self-redirector’, that would make sense. Therefore NAF’s “safe feeling” has nothing to do with you. It seems fairly clear that you are the “giver of warm glows”, though what exactly that means is unclear. It doesn’t seem to protect your target from being killed (see pwnsall), and it doesn’t seem to cure poison (since you didn’t target Drain Bead). We have the following people reporting feeling “safe” NAF1138 - Night 1 Drain Bead - Night 4 Suburban Plankton - Night 4 Not sure what to make of that yet… ---
