It's actually STFUSorian. You lose, sorry.
Thanks! I would say you are good too, but I rather not lie.

He was prepared for this. It's happened so many times in his dreams; the screaming, the pain, the accusations. He heard it all the time now, even while he was awake. People skulking around his house in the Night... in the Day. He could hear the whispering again, but something was new. Smoke? Smoke and fire. He'd never died this way before, but he was ready.
They came through his front door chanting, but it quickly turned to screams as he ham-stringed the first one through. He could hear their skull crack as they slammed into his hearth. The next one tried to grapple with him, but a vicious eye poke and several swift kidney stabs brought him low as well. One last brave soul came through now, carrying some devious weapon in his hands, spewing fire and smoke. Unfortunately, he tripped and went face first into his own weapon, splattering goo around the floor. The job had to be finished though. He held his attackers head down, face smothered in the dirt and goo, until they stopped twitching and gasping.
Then he licked the goo off one of his fingers.
"Oooh, cream cheese frosting!", said Burbeting, as he stood to his feet.
The crowd outside his door just looked on in horror except for one man.
"Surprise!", yelled Tanner Bob. "You survived two nights!"
Burbeting has survived... but at what cost?
Cornburrito, *Splinter, and Cabot have died!
DAY 3 BEGINS

3 kills?!?!?!?
Seriously?
Ok real talk, I would call *splinter a great a worthy opponent but we were both town aligned.
No mercy on our top posters.

Oh. cabot was criticizing himself for guarding a sleepwalker instead of Drop. That makes sense now. Hmm.

Let's look at our top low posters:
Timeaisis
Trigger(can be forgiven up to this point bc replacement)
MattyG
GLT

Oh... *Splinter was one of the people I was leaning wolf on. Heh, sorry about that.
I was already pretty irritated that we lost Style after I specifically said:
Huh, guess even he thought that the Sheriff was too predictable/unnecessary a target that he opted to protect someone else.

So one Wolf kill,
One possible Sk / Vig
Third kill ??? Maybe a jailer like role again, or am I forgetting something?

And somehow, you're still alive. Fancy that.
Maybe Cabot was guarding that target?
maybe this other ability can only kill on even nights? or maybe it was blocked by cabot on night 1?
It was down to Style and GreatLord Tiger and my first pick wasn't getting any traction. But it wasn't even a contest. Hardly anyone showed up for the final vote and it didn't help that Style was absent. Almost everyone voted Style. cabot said he would vote Style to break a tie.
This sounds plausible.
N1: Drop (town) and Terrabyte20xx (wolf) died. One almost certainly by the wolves, the other by an SK/Vig.
N2: CornBurrito, *Splinter and Cabot died; all town. If the wolves have a double kill ability, that accounts for the two deaths and the extra one by an SK/Vig.
And three people didn't die on N1 because Cabot would have protected someone other than the Sheriff.

Then why would cabot criticize himself about his protection target on n1 if the target got attacked?
It's likely that Palmer is mad Burb lived
(Not really)
Maybe it wasn't a contest in your mind, but it certainly was unsure which would be lynched, until the last 15 min happened.
I'm mostly concerned about batsnacks, Swamped and zippers votes.
Because he wasn't predicting the Sheriff to get got on N1, probably.
Seeing how he specifically calls out sleepwalkers, maybe he even saved your life, Mr. Sleepwalker #2.
Maybe Cabot believed it was a better idea to save the confirmed townie who had a special ability, instead of someone who could have potentially been a neutral/useless townie. I'm sure we'll get the answer to this in Cabot's tell-all book.
Well, Cabot wouldn't have known if his protection was successful. Only the wolves would know that their kill failed.
It's possible that on odd nights, the wolves get an extra kill but it's too early to make conclusions.
Like, maybe Cabot protected a vet-type role and died in the process.
Anyway, i think looking through those three people's posts will be a useful endeavor.
If that's what Cabot thought, then why isn't Drop here hanging out with us like back in the day?
Cabot blocking a kill on N1 does make sense. It also makes sense that he spent a good portion of the previous day phase criticizing the doctor to distance himself from the role.
It also seems interesting that the wolves are kind of brute-forcing their way through the game, targeting top posters. Hopefully that confidence will be their undoing.

I wanted Time out, but nobody was going for it. I really believed GLT was town, as i explained during the day, but i was less sure of Style. Also i was one of the few people available at the day end, so i wanted to make my vote count. (I hardly ever get to witness the day end in real time!)
because he made a mistake? hence the public post. but it is what it is.

Holy wtf!? Day end is usually early morning for me in real life, so what a thing to wake up to.
How would three kills even happen, though? Wolves getting two pet night sounds a bit too strong, even in a game this big. Maybe it was a one-shot double kill ability they have?

My theory, with help from Swamped
One kill from Scum
One kill from Serial Vigilante
One kill because Cabot tried protecting whoever Terra visited n1 and he/she killed Cabot

He was trying to make it seem like he wasn't the doc.
All right, I got my stable internet now. I said that I wanted to talk about Cabots D2 behaviour, and my theory based on it. We now know, that Cabot was the Doctor. He was also on the top of the town reads for quite many players, and he was deputized to boot, so I cant say its an enormous surprise he was offed. However, I want to look at Cabots behavior after D2 began, with Drop dead. Why didnt Cabot guard Drop?
Well actually, in my theory, he did Guard Drop. Just look at this post in the beginning of the day:
So, I think he did Guard Cabot, and he is trying to tell us this out loud in this post. He guarded Drop but Drop died, anyway. What does this mean? Cabot seems to theorise, that he was either switched or blocked during N1. Since he was on top of the town reads for many, I seriously doubt a town roleblocker would block him. I also doubt town switching, there was two valid targets to switch (Drop and Crimson), and I think Palmer dislikes Scum Switchers, so thats not a thing either.
So what does this leave us? There is the possibility of a scum blocker, who blocked Cabot. There is a chance scum has some sort of strongman role, who can bypass all kinds of protections, so that Cabots guard didnt work.
If my theory is true, then the scum kill did go for Drop somehow, which lead Cabot frustrated, and typing out that post above me. Its a real possibility, that the scum was able to theorize that he is the Doctor based on it, and then killed him this night, as well. Why there was only Two NKs, and Three NKs this night, my theory does not know. But I want to say, its dangerous to just assume Cabot was able to guard someone on N1.

So I was curious about who initially suggested that the wolves could kill multiple targets in a single night after Fireblend mentioned it up top, and here it is:
This comment came out of nowhere when people were discussing the possibility of an SK, and then it was passed off as a "mistake" soon after:
It was a weird mistake, especially considering our role PM:
Now that this seems to actually be what's going on, it's pretty curious that this "mistake" ended up being an actual werewolf ability.

Is it possible that there's both a serial killer and a vigilante? Especially since there were a few people suspecting CornBurrito, so he might have been a good target for a vig to go after.
Only two kills on night 1 could be explained by either two parties choosing the same target, or maybe one of them is limited in some way.

So then, assuming my theory is correct (and this is only ASSUMING), wouldnt the Scum want to think, that Cabot was able to guard someone?
It could very easily make the town think, that someone is a sure Town someone who is actually Scum.
Now then, who were possibly N1 guard targets for Cabot then (other than Drop)?

LollipopDave & Makai, who were assumed to have some sort of connected PR, like lovers, due to Makais soft claim?
Wouldnt it be a great way for scum to make one of these people confirmed town, by making the assumption that Cabot was able to protect one of them from a scum secondary kill (Since this is the narrative already going in D3).
I had this nagging feeling that Cabot had protected Drop, and that the Scum might actually push for this narrative. So, I did this:
I wanted to bait, and see who might instantly bite on this narrative, and go for it. And look:
These two were instantly jumping on the narrative, something to think about.
Now then, this is JUST a theory, but something to think about.
