So... yeah, I don't like about how that last DP ended. Vader's decision to hammer early with his double voter definitely doesn't sit well with me, and especially now that we know Savant was telling the truth and he was RB'd (which remains the most likely explanation for why an NK wasn't committed in NP1), he's practically the default lynch at this point.
As for the choice of NK, I'm definitely surprised. Not sure why scum would have targeted WyIted beyond him being widely townread, since he had already claimed to use his role. I was the obvious target, and I fully expected to be the NK. Nonetheless, I chose to target Earth and it came back innocent.
And therein lies the problem. If that result is right, then I'm out of PoE for who could be Vader's potential scum partner. I just don't buy that GP could be scum and have the Reviver role, which we've already confirmed. Austin is confirmed town by his flip. So I only see two options:
Earth manipulated my result and it's a Vader/Earth scum team.
Or... Casey and Pie are a scum team.
I kind of wrote off this pairing being in the game after Casey tied themselves so tightly to Pie last DP. If Casey was somehow killed and flipped scum (and given Earth's still unknown Killing role, that was still a possibility), it would put Pie in the crosshairs. But that might just have been a risk they were willing to take. Setting that aside, there are really only two unknowns: why didn't they commit an NK and why did I Cop Pie innocent? The latter question applies just as well to Earth. The former is more of an open question, but given what WyIted was suggesting he did with his role and how he believed GP's role works, there does seem to be an explanation:
GP's role activated during the DP, was changed during the NP, and he is either BP or the Doc (I won't speculate which). Either one could explain the lack of an NK.
I'll be clear, I'm not sure which story I buy more right now. We know Savant's night action would have prevented the NK and was used on Vader. We only have WyIted's now cut off speculation about how he might have used his role, which might also have something to do with his NK.
With us at 5-2, we can take another mislynch if we need to, but I think we should discuss these two possibilities before committing to any lynch.
