Killing me was a wise move. I had a strong vibe on you, and as I said, the only reason I wasn't going after you was that you had passed investigation. If you had killed someone else I might well have pushed hard that you were a GF. I do think that making you immune to all investigation made your role a little too powerful, but that is an arguable opinion. Big props to you for pulling it off, Preston!

I'm kinda curious where that vibe came from - but yeah it was pretty clear. And as TW said below, watcher/tracker could have found me - just no 'direct' investigations would have done so. Ironically Night 2 is when I could have started killing, and Kevin investigated me that night - but I held off instead. If I'd tried to take someone out then, he'd have seen me and it would have been game over! Thanks for the props though - as you can see from my chronology it's fairly stressful to be a SK!

@KingHitler : Thanks for the chat link! Funny to read about people wanting to take me out early as the game started, and your/iSoc's reaction at my first kill Unfortunately there's not so much of a neat read log for being a SK... hence me trying to list my thoughts above.

Also, for future reference, i would have neen suspicious of rhizos claim no matter what. It ended up being real but the circumstances and lack of evidence were petty suspicious. Hopefully people learn that they can't take every role claim at face value

 

It would be very stupid for a scum to voluntarily fake RC that early to trade 1 for 1 with a town (he'd be lynched right away on D4). It's not about believing every role claim. It's about analyzing the context of such claim.

Good job Preston, I think this is the first SK win since god knows when

 

 

Why do I have to die so early D:

I found your early votes to be questionable, and then you didn't vote in a couple of lynches, which has not been your playing style in the past. More than anything, I just had a gut instinct about you and in RL my gut instincts are usually right. I doubt I could have succeeded in getting you lynched because you are a brilliant player, and my argument that everyone should listen to me because when my instinct is this strong it is probably right would not have succeeded. But from very early on my gut was practically screaming to lynch you.

It's ironic; if I had been normal town those first few days would have played out the exact same way anyway. I got hung up on Lyner and Kevin as part of normal scumhunting - I thought what they were doing was genuinely shady - and I think the main wagon I missed was Rafay after Kevin roleclaimed on D2 because I didnt like the lynch-the-inactive push on Rafay. Still, good to know your thoughts

Really wasn't. Scum could have a goon fake claim in order to draw attention off of a more important role. (hence if wolf had been the ninja or something like that since he didn't role claim until wolf was wagoned, even though he openly said he was suspicious of wolf, which could have been a scum tactic to distance from each other.)

And there could have been so many things happening that would turn that scenario into disaster for the scum team. It's always easy to say what scums could have done, but there's no practical application to be seen yet to prove that point. When people theorycraft they don't fear the consequences of their plans failing, but when they act, they are far more cautious for that very reason.

 

But of course I'm eagerly waiting for a scum team to pull it of .
