Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for being confirmed as town lol. Even if a role cop checks me though and validates my claim (which they would) you wouldn’t expect them to out themself right away tomorrow just to confirm my basically named townie role right?
No definitely not, although they should obviously come forward if you show up as something other than what you're hinting at lol. But as long as they exist and don't get killed (neither of which are sure things, of course), then they can easily rule you out later in the game when we get down to fewer players, which can only help. I'm just saying it's basically a no lose gamble to use N1's shot on you if they have it since they're guaranteed to get something useful either way.
