Just to roll back a bit here, Xam called it. I kinda forgot RedFalco was cleared... :/
Anyway, as for Zeke's post...
Says he would vote for Salva. At this point in time, the vote is 5 for Star, 1 for Salva
On top of the role being passed from inactive to inactive, Salva's "You see this? This is a face you could trust" post sat with me the wrong way. However, I then realized that's a pretty dumb reason to vote for someone, just for what was probably a flavor-y joke, so I wanted to sweep that under the rug.
As for StarSketch, I initially thought her Role Block claim sounded, well... Sketchy. But now it seems like she really did block Xam (Especially since no one else has come forward). There's a chance that she could have that same power on the Injust team, but if that was the case, why didn't she just let her buddies kill Xam? So I trusted her story of making uncertain moves after this point.
Says CB is most scummy after Star, but didn't vote for either.
So, I think we're good to name claim here, as you said? I'm Maya Fey (Surprisingly, she's a Vanilla role). I was suspicious of CB because I thought he was breadcrumbing Maya when he went on about Burgers, and that distrust lingered a little bit into the Gumshoe Power Reveal. This was especially so because, even at this point in the game and after people explaining that name claiming only benefits Injust in this case, CB was
really wanting us to name claim, and was trying to argue that having a player take the role of Masque DeMasque was suspicious simply because most of the other deceased players were primary characters, whereas Ron DeLite is only relevant for 1 case.
I made this post after he revealed himself as Gumshoe, but I was having difficulty understanding why he would give the player with the Cop/Seer role the power of the Cop/Seer, as it would just be a wasted move if we gave an Injust player that power, and Xam has that power inherently, while Scrafty is a cleared player who doesn't have a Night Power. It seemed anti-Justice to make a move like that, so I thought maybe his entire Role Reveal was just a large bluff. However, I reread and realized that the Metal Detector detects actions, not alignment (And Scrafty already had the Burger). Therefore, it would be
extremely bad in Injust hands, so the move made a lot more sense. I still think CB's fixation on name claiming is weird, but I believe he's Gumshoe now.
After that he says SP is suddenly active, then gives that up almost immediately it seems.
I was running out of ideas when I made that post, honestly. And I did forget that Palmtree was getting a bit more active. When he pointed that out, I dropped it because that shot a hole in the only theory I had. I've been having a lot of trouble with reads this game.
Then he votes for Redfalco, who was cleared by Xam, and had some quality post that day phase about Salva.
That post was made very late for me. I forgot Xam cleared RedFalco, as well as about RF's Salva-focused post. At this point, I trusted CB, trusted Star, and trusted Palmtrees. I didn't want to
not vote because we were well beyond the point where a No Kill is a good idea and, forgetting about the aforementioned stuff regarding Falco, I thought he was being way too quiet to not find suspicious.
When he votes for Salva, FEP has 4 votes while Salva has 3, so it is close. He obviously knows the story with SP since he stated earlier he would vote for him. But he chooses his last vote of the day (ignore my hammer, he was 99% sure he wasn't gonna be able to vote) to be a prod vote. Someone he didn't really even mention in that day phase. Not on any of the ppl he called out in posts today or either of the two scum candidates at the time.
I could read that as scum not wanting to get his hands dirty, but also not wanting to make it hard on his teammate and voting for him. So votes for random person.
At this point, the only reason it felt like people were voting for either of them were because they were replacements for inactive players/Salva's defense of Star benefited him no matter how she flipped. They were both worth looking into, but I was afraid of making the wrong pick here, because at that point, I was more focused on getting a vote in and getting to bed.
And not that I've been Scum in a GAFia Game outside of ONUW, but I'm a total bus-pusher during in-person Werewolf. I'm kind of a bad assistant.
Would also like to bring up my post about Zubz/TWE
As I said before, Edge always plays aggressively. It wasn't until he reached meltdown-levels that I started to think it was abnormal behavior for him.

With all of that out of the way, I'd like to look at the fact that we had 2 deaths, even after de Killer was de Kill... Kill de... There's a joke in there somewhere, but I'll let someone else dig for it if they want. Either way, we have another character with night kills running around. Personally, I think it's a very unlucky, pro-Town Serial Killer, but I don't know who that'd be. Nobody voted for either of Roy nor CF, so I don't know who would want to kill either of them outside of the Injust. They were both active players, so they were good Injust Kills, but I don't think they'd have a third way to Night Kill. I mean, that's totally a possibility, but it seems OP. Is there any way a Just player could have the power to give another player a free Night Kill, and then they accidentally gave that power to an Injust one?
As for Squidy, it's possible he could be a Godfather/Alpha Wolf that goes under our Cop/Seer's radar, but that's a bit of a risk. I'm with CB on being okay holding off on Squidy at the moment.
