Okay, for point 1:
- Playing AtE and Ghosting the thread while on the verge of being lynched is counterintuitive to surviving. In fact, that’s the best way to get lynched.
That's a rationalization, it doesn't mean by Occham's Razor that Gad can't be scum by realizing he's done after making the claim and hoping for the best. Simplest answers are usually the correct ones.
Point 2:
- Nibel suspecting Ratchet is different to him suspecting others who thought he was weird for his play around Ekko. Nibel explicitly suspects Ratchet / Flower because Ratchet projected Nibel’s approach to Melkor differently from what actually happened.
Don't see it. I thought his play around Ekko's opening posts and "not reading" his role PM was weird, Gram and Poyser picked up on it, so did several others besides Ratchet/Flower. He made a post saying "I'm not excluding any player from being potentially scum" but outright states he thought Ekko was either
Indie or
Town, which contradicts his own earlier statement.
Gram also prompted a question to Melkor about Nibel's slot and he also claimed his play around Ekko was odd. Ratchet simply added he thought Nibel was being opportunistic after Gram already voted Melkor, then adding himself to Melkor's wagon while not doing anything else. Don't see an issue here. Unless you meant Nibel's vote on Melkor before Gram, which cba to double check but that wasn't really the crux of Gram's issue with him anyway.
Point 3:
- This is complete Hypotheses. If you’re implying that Gram was killed to save Nibel from pressure, then it also makes sense to say that Gram was killed to add more suspicion to Nibel’s slot. There’s no proof other than tinfoil for both.
That again could be the case, or it couldn't be. Its 50/50 either way with most of the PoE being LHFs: Melkor, Gad, Nibel, Reloaded, Yoho, so to speak. Any kill, especially one of the most active players, can be mispreresented to intentionally shade a player who ended the previous day phase conflicting with the killed player. I offed T-Pein in the last game as mafia even though I beleived he wouldn't vote me or believe I was a wolf simply to confuse Magic and Gram further and have them go at each other.
Its entire feasible if he was scum and his mates went about it that way, that's what happened. Its no less tinfoil then your response to this.
