Originally, my issue with Zeke's plan is that it doesn't help us get to the bottom of the failed N2 actions by CB and I. Now that Xam has copped to Ascetic, it makes sense.
I don't know why a scum Zubz would be so brazen as to keep mentioning Dahlia, unless he was banking on it being so absurd as to be shrugged off, as I'm doing now.
I'll verify this later when I'm on a computer, but if Stanley really didn't hint at his role at all-- especially to Xam, then I'm inclined to believe my prior speculation that Stanley is piggybacking off Xam's claim. Even if he hasn't been that participative, it's a simple matter to put some feelers out there-- I mean, I'm pretty low-activity myself, but I breadcrumbed at every opportunity I could. Not hinting at your role, not letting Xam know he wasn't alone-- that is anti-town.
A good way to verify that Xam is a cop as well as to verify Stanley's claim is to lynch the latter. Scum Xam and town SP makes no sense. The only other possibilities are scum Xam and scum SP, town Xam and scum SP, and town Xam and town SP. We have a 67% chance of licking the right frog (ha ha ha)

With Xam's reveal, he is all but guaranteed to be dead tonight, isn't he? But it still doesn't sit right by me that if he is ascetic, why is he still alive? Did scum really not even try to kill him? We've had six night kills, all town. Xam has been prominent since D1. He claimed on D2, and there have been four night kills since. No one tried to kill Xam? This isn't an indictment of Xam-- I trust him-- but a questioning of what is going on those with the night kill powers.
