[The Narrator]

Kate the Waif was lynched. She was a Villager.

[Doctor Saul]

Um, what!?

[Doctor Saul]

That is not right. She scanned wolf

[Widow Edith]

So no seer for us. Leaves fool or wolf.
In case we have a vig I would like him to consider Saul as target. Shooting him tonight might give us a useful day tomorrow instead of a repetition of today.

[Know-Nothing Jon]

Getting that resolved would be nice, but I guess this reopens the Muriel debate regardless of how Saul flips. Lovely.

If Saul is a fool, this really highlights how unfun that role is. 2-3 game days completely wasted on a fruitless digression.

[Half-Nose Harry]

This is not what I was thinking I would find when I took a look after the lynch . This puts us in a pretty bad situation overall, and looks like we'll end up wasting another game day on a set lynch for Saul. I'll echo Widow Edith's request that if we do have a vig to please shoot Saul and save us the wasted day.

[Doctor Saul]

This is stupid. I am not a fool. It does not say fool in my PM. It says seer

[Muriel The Slow]

Yeah this will get ugly At least she wasn't a secret miller, that would have been annoying.

Jon, I think there is a good chance that Will is a wolf because he refused to reveal his role to us. Sharing this information with us would benefit the village. Everyone having more information helps the village. There was nothing to be gained by keeping it secret, at least nothing I could think of. Unless he was a wolf, and wanted to stay as a confirmed villager instead of presenting us with the evidence that he isn't exactly a confirmed villager. The fact that Bert died is just a small supporting evidence for Will being a wolf, but like I said myself, Bert was a likely target anyway and it could have been a coincidence.

Edith, the two theories were not connected. Maybe it was my fault for putting them in the same post, but I did clearly state that the second theory does not rely on Will being a wolf. In fact Will doesn't really have anything to do with it. He could be a confirmed villager and that second theory would still remain exactly the same. His comment just happened to make me realize that I would be lynched after Saul if Kate was a villager. The point of the theory was that the wolves could sacrifice Saul in order to get two miss-lynches on Kate and Muriel, and at the end of it they would either have already won or be very very close to it.

[Know-Nothing Jon]

Muriel, if Will is a friendly neighbor like you presume, how does that make him "not exactly confirmed"?
