So, Angel did lie, and her language is going to remain this way, correct?

Or am I fishing too much here?

Angel, is there any way that we can know that you are pure now? You claim Paul washed you last Night, but he also got killed last Night. We all knew that the plan was for Paul to disinfect you, but we don’t have any way of knowing if the NK order went before the disinfect order.

Assuming she’s telling the truth, I was under the impression (but I’m not sure why, did she mention it?) that the post restriction is only for toDay.

This is an interesting situation - **Angel** , it seems, was going to jump ship to the Sinners. But then paul stepped in, apparently. If paul didn’t, that means that the reason for speaking Chinglish is wrong and Angel is doing it for the fun of it.

I’m going to believe that Angel was cleansed by paul before he was NK’d. Whether Angel is Town or Blackheart, well, that is another question.

You were forcefully purged of the seed of sin. You have another choice, now. You may go back to your former win con as a townie, or stay with the sinners, and hope you are reinfected. "

I don’t get that. Since the beginning I’ve not really understood the stuff about being town but having the sinner wincon et al.  
But I really don’t get why if you chose to remain a sinner that you would HOPE to get reinfected. Would getting reinfected even do anything if you stay with the sinners?

Wait, what?

Angel, are you saying that the game mechanics suggest that a person can be purged of Sin, become a Townie, but retain the Sinners wincon? Wouldn’t that mean the Sinners can keep pumping out Godfathers, at least in theory?

I am sceptical.

**Vote Angel**

You can be:  
[ol]  
[li]Blackheart[/li][li]Sinner[/li][li]Town[/li][/ol]

You NEVER change what you are. Never ever ever ever

If you are Blackheart, you win:  
[ol]  
[li]When Blackhearts outnumber non-Blackhearts[/li][/ol]

If you are Sinner, you win when:  
[ol]  
[li]Everyone alive is Sinfected[/li][/ol]

If you are Town, you win when  
[ol]  
[li]All Sinners, Blackhearts and PFKs (if any) are dead[/li][li]UNLESS, you’ve chosen to win with the Sinners after being Sinfected, in which case you win when Everyone alive is Sinfected[/li][/ol]

So, Town MAY change their win condition. No one else may.  
So, in the end, you can BE town, but win with the Sinners.

That, I guess, sort of makes sense. But, if you are town, with sinner wincon, you are effectively a sinner, right? I mean, even if you are town by name, if you win with the sinners you are going to try to get rid of town and blackhearts, right?
