No chat, one less thing to worry about.
So please read everything else, the part about the chat was more relevant about Fire and why he decided to kill instead of using another action. So with that out of the way, I think the most obvious solution is that Fire just decided to do the killing and he was picked up by bubs.
Now, the fact that there is chance and all NFA can communicate with each other means that hey know what each other can do,so that means that the NFA would be aware of the value of Fireblend as a member and that may explain why blarg wanted to get attention away from him with his claim.
Also, I want to say I really don´t mind if I get lynched, I know my way of playing is conflicting and direct to the point, I don´t have a problem making enemies and throwing ideas out there of how things could have happen, it really bothers me how easy everyone was on dismising Blarg, first when he claimed lightning rod (THAT EVERYONE BELIEVED) and then when he said he was lying (THAT, AGAIN, EVERYONE BELIEVED), so excuse me if I want lynched a person that has pretty much lied to town every single move he has made. If that makes me suspicious, then so be it.
The rest of your post was about exactly what was expected from your defense. I don't really hold day 1 against you but the fact remains that on day 2, you went over a lead that really could wait and now in hindsight that was protecting NFA's (probably) strongest member. Also who believed Blarg's lightning rod thing? Don't say everyone because I certainly didn't. It was still a scenario where he did no harm regardless of his role as opposed to letting a for sure scum stay alive.
Even in light of all the evidence, most of what you guys are saying about Salva can be said about Blarg, yet Blarg tried to kill me. As "pro-town" as his play might have seemed, the likeliest outcome was going to be me dead, not a no-kill night. What's more, why back off this claim? Most of us were buying that shit or at least buying it enough to take a wait-and-see approach with him.
Also, what happened to hounding me down? All of a sudden, it seems like he's lost his train of motivation. Isn't that suspicious as hell, coming off of heavy tunneling so haphazardly?

I do find it interesting that Blarg has been relatively quiet. I have a hard time believing that he isn't watching.
