Alright, going to try to address everything I missed.
did Whiteflame claim roleblocked?
@Luna I did not.
Why the fvck would anyone redirect a magistrate expect for to try to make Whiteflame look scummy but then on the other hand that seems too obvious and almost does the opposite
@Luna I was already in PoE and my lynch is virtually guaranteed next DP. Obvious clearly works to draw attention, though I know that's WIFOM. I was actually planning on doing something similar in the last game as scum, but as you recall, it didn't work out due to that last NK failing.
However, I will full claim: Doctor.
@Mharman Given the absence of any other protective role and that he's known chiefly for being a defense attorney who, as you say, has saved numerous clients, the Doctor role makes sense. He's not the only prominent defense attorney in the games, with Ema Skye (Luna's claim) being another main character who is known for her work as a defense attorney. It's not the most obvious choice, but it does make some sense. I don't love the long delay to post it, but compliments to Mharman on a convincing long post detailing his claim.
In before WF claims a protective role to cause a mislynch.
@Savant I am not one of those, hence I buy Mharman's claim.
1. Joebob’s role is basically the same thing as what Austin claimed, except it works with doctors and other irrelevant things
2. Doctor doesn’t work with Dreamer and I’m a dumbass for forgetting about how dreamers can be disturbed earlier
3. His behavior still sucks now that I think about it. He literally posted something like “look at me! I have this role and the matching character is the deuteragonist! No way I could be scum!”, then got busted for lying, then invented a fake gambit to cover his ass and get town cred because town was wondering if he was gambiting anyway
4. So there’s obviously a ninja. And a redirector. That doesn’t leave anyone left who could disturb Austin’s sleep. We know the redirector used their abilities, so the Ninja probably Nk’d JoeBob.
@Mharman I can see some point to this, though I think each of the arguments individually aren't that strong. #1 is modpsych, #2 is an interaction between roles that doesn't really tell me much, and #4 is an assumption (the Ninja) and an open question that suggests more actions on the part of scum. #3 is the main point I agree with, at least in part, because I do think the whole Day Dreamer gambit ended up making him look more sus and the lack of an action NP1 doesn't help his case. I still townread him behaviorally based on the previous DP - the whole CC back-and-forth with WyIted would have to have been an impressive misdirect.
