Catwalk would be the best target to get miss-lynched since he can't be night killed if his role is real. Scum might be worried about us getting to end game with Catwalk who's practically unkillable and our protection roles (Rowain, Merovech) which would be why Rowain was killed last night and could be the reason behind this move. That said, I wouldn't be so sure that scum would find a 1:1 trade good at this point, especially when Catwalk had been gaining some heat anyway and was going to be one of the big suspects today and going forward. His role is not confirmed and the way he revealed it was fishy. And I don't believe this is LyLo.. If it is, then I reckon we're screwed anyway and probably were right from the beginning. I think Catwalk first has to be the right move to make here, it's just much more likely that a townie with a confirmed power role catches a scum, than that scum would willingly trade 1:1 for a target that was under suspicion anyway, and this all in non-LyLo where they won't win from that one miss-lynch.

And I think if the scum wanted a 1:1 trade, one of their own for Catwalk, they could have just killed him at night for that trade. THAT plan would not have a risk of backfiring. The other way would, because the town could kill the scum first and get a 1:0 instead.

I don't think they're going to win with a mislynch today either, but I think it's likely that they only need one more after that. I don't quite follow you about the plan to kill me at night, though. Why would they risk a shot at me when they have Rowain, Serdoa, novice and Merovech to choose from? Don't forget that my ability also prevents the night kill on myself, kind of the opposite of Lewwyn's role. I'm actually quite surprised that Merovech didn't protect Rowain tonight, the two of them together would be able to hold off scum for a long time.
I think that Xenu would be high on the lynch list today if not for his "reveal". I know this looks bad for me (coupled with being given a killer role), but I am by no means giving up on clearing myself.
On an unrelated note, I think this setup is pretty awesome and have had fun with it so far.

You strike back and you're also kill immune?

I'll find the post where I revealed it, but my ability is that I target one player. If that player tries to kill me at night, I'm immune to that particular attack and I also kill him. I may have killed MJW, I got the same message that night as I got on previous nights when I didn't hit anyone. If scum wants to hit me they can, but they need me to guess wrong about who's going to target me. The longer the game lasts, the more valuable my role becomes. I felt it was rather useless earlier on with many players, and prioritized staying alive so I could make use of it later. I'm not sure what happens if Merovech protects me and I'm targeted the same night, I assume that's covered by BRick's resolution order.

(January 26th, 2014, 02:17)Catwalk Wrote: I did go after MJW tonight, in a sense. I didn't succesfully hit him, though. My ability is Paranoia: Each night I pick a target to defend myself against. If that player tries to kill me, I dodge the bullet and shoot that player instead. MJW did not target me though, and I didn't hit him. I was concerned he'd target me due to accusations he made against me later in the day, and I also suspected him of being a serial killer due to his ability to hoard more abilities.
It was this one, except I posted a little bit later that I'm not sure if MJW hit me or not.

Okay, that'd make the role considerably weaker and even less likely that scum would trade one of their own for you.

Weak early on, but quite strong later in the game for the above reasons. I also think that I was accumulating a decent amount of town cred after being inactive for a day or two. In comparison, Xenu has been doing nothing useful and was starting to feel the heat. Most of the lynchbait is gone, and I think we're on to the remaining scum. Serdoa and novice are all but confirmed town, with Merovech + Mattimeto strongly leaning town.
I'm obviously going to try to argue that we hang spacetyrantxenu since I know for sure he's scum. Unfortunately the only way for me to share that proof is by hanging. The same goes the other way, though. If my town cred is established, it makes xenu very likely to be a liar.

Well it's a 1:1 at worst and 1:0 at best, so I'm okay with it if people prefer to lynch Xenu first. It's not like it's impossible that he's the scum, just less likely

At this point I will wait to see who chimes in and who not. Because obviously right now there are just 3 players active.
