Hapah:If he was guarding Shake, then that means you can't be the Exterminator (unless you get extra flavor? Unlikely). You could be a dopp fake-claiming the protect, but again, that would require the bodyguard, the exterminator, and the dopp NK to all target Shake. I find this unlikely. You're almost certainly not the exterminator (since claiming to be protected when someone else actually was would be a damn stupid thing to do), and fake-claiming the protect as a dopp would require the stars to align (triple-target on Shake) AND would mean that you are quick on your feet (parsing all the possibilities and coming up with the fake-claim 45 minutes after day opens). I think this somewhat clears you, but there could very well be a flaw I'm not seeing.
I don't follow your reasoning here. First, it's
certain both kills were not targeted on Shakerag, since Dustylou2 was a
heroic guard (protects against multiple kills), if they had, Shake would have survived. Second, Jim could have killed Shake, Dusty protected Jim, and the dopps target Jim with the results as posted, so it doesn't clear Jim of being the Ext.
Bodyguard killed while defending someone and wasn't just killed himself (flavor seems to read that way, but want to confirm)
As has been mentioned, it is not clear whether Dustylou2 was killed while protecting someone, or if he was killed when coming back home after his protection target was not attacked. Both are consistent with the flavour.
Jim claims he was protected. If he is telling the truth, then the dopps attacked him, Dustylou2 protected him, and it means Jim is not a dopp (but could be the Ext that killed Shake). Alternatively, the dopps purposefully killed Dustylou2 at home (after he protected someone else but wasn't triggered), and upon seeing the guardian flip, one of the dopps decided to fakeclaim the protect knowing it wouldn't be counterclaimed; this would mean Jim is a dopp.
From the two possibilities above, the first seems more likely to me. Jim is not a dopp (but can be the Ext).
Now, finding the Ext is important. If we don't then unless there is some dopps-Ext crossfire tonight, the town is doomed by tomorrow. So who is it?
My gut still points to
Jim being the Ext:
Don't you want to find the dopps as well? What's wrong with a Mr.Dwarfinton lynch? He's the clear lynch candidate for today but you want to extend to find the Exterminator.
Why do you want to find the Exterminator so much? Maybe it's because you're a dopp. Urist Imiknorris.
I certainly want to find the dopps, but it's
imperative we find the Ext at once, since with this two-kills-per-night setup, the town is likely screwed by tomorrow if we don't. You know this, yet you seem content with a Mr.D lynch. Why? Do you think Mr.D is a dopp, the Ext, or something else? Why are you accusing people who want to find the Ext? Why are you against an extension to look deeper? Why do you
not want to find the Exterminator so much?
Other suspicions, in order:
ToonyMan is mostly watching from the sidelines like he does when he's scum;
BMC's arguments are pure scummy bullshit;
Mr.D is flailing in a scummy fashion.
