This is what I’m speculating. I suspect they could just be claiming the town equivalent of their actual role (one of the evil roles). Given how close the role description is across those roles, they probably would have no problem in claiming it—-especially since one of the evil equivalents outright tells you whether you’ll be CC’d or not and the other omits the town role from play entirely.
If you are against the theory, I’ll keep it in my back pocket until we get more evidence to support/debunk it, but it just feels really strange. The evidence we have here also isn’t wholly social—-we have mech information (votes) that he switched his votes and didn’t give a solid explanation as to why. That’s why I’m having a hard time letting it go.
However, I don’t want to tunnel-vision. That’s why I’m asking you guys for your thoughts. I’d rather us make a decision as a group.
