It seems safer to me to just off you today then just in case. Here's what you're probably trying.
-snip-
I disagree, because we'll have more information overall if we lynch somebody else. He's an easy lynch right now, and if he does flip dopple, we'll have less to go on for picking tomorrow's targets.
The most dangerous scenario is that he's a doppelganger war vet, and he's encouraging us to night action him. But I think that's a long shot. He could just as easily be a town war vet, and he's trying to save town while encouraging the dopples to night-kill him.
Anyways, if we don't lynch him, and he survives the night, then I think he's worth some more attention. Unvote.
I would, however, view anyone pushing for his lynch with an ounce of suspicion, considering he's confirmed town if he's telling the truth.
Captain Ford as I've said before this makes little to no sense. Your attempts at explaining this away have been sub-par at best. I find it hard to believe that you just happened to forget a large amount of information like what happens when a Kook is examined. Also I fail to see how leaving him alive for a night would give more information.
The brain is a funny thing. You can
know something, but not understand every single tiny implication. I didn't forget what the kook was, or what it did. It just didn't occur to me that there was no way to prove it.
There are like, a half-dozen different ways to investigate someone in this game. I figured one of them would be able to prove something, and didn't bother thinking it all the way through.

How does claiming Kook attract night actions?
I mentioned this in my last post, but I derped and managed to forget that Kook meant that a race inspect was worthless.

This is complete bullshit. Please explain to me how it makes any sense at all that his survival of the night would have any bearing whatsoever on his alignment?
Yes, it is. It has no bearing on his alignment. I was responding to Nerjin saying "My vote stands" by saying "that's stupid. Wait until we have more information".
Captain Ford, I'm noticing worrying behaviour from you: You asked me about how to run a Doppelganger role as well as going to great lengths to defend Hapah in a... I don't...
1. I'm terrible at coming up with questions. I picked a random role and then realized it was a more interesting question if I added 'doppleganger' in front of it. That's all.
2. I was not defending Hapah. I was positing a plausible scenario, seeking others opinions (since I'm still new), and seeing how Nerjin reacted to my pointing suspicion towards him (subtly).
Captain Ford, what are you hoping for this post to accomplish?
My primary objective was to post. Beyond that, to seek other's opinions (I certainly got them) and inspire debate. Also, to probe Nerjin (and Hapah) for a reaction.
I had worried that it might look like me defending Hapah, so I waited until after it played out a bit to post my opinion.
Bolded for emphasis by me.
Okay... Wait until we have more information may mean something later on but not during the RVS. Besides the only information we can count on is the information we have now. More MAY come along but I always assume the game will die down soon. A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush and what not.
As for bold part #2: Subtle indeed! But I think you'll find that most of your posts where we discussed the Kook roll was you defending Hapah. In fact you seem awfully keen on leaving him alive to probe him tomorrow.
Bold part the third: I saw you prodding me for a reaction. Much less so you prodding Hapah. Care to point out where you did that?
1. Shitty reasoning combined with poor choice of words. In the absence of other activity, it seemed reasonable to consider possible results of the night phase.
2. Yes, I defended Hapah, and he was worth defending. Now that I think more about it, there's nothing wrong with that. I let the kook thing go on long enough to get a town read on Hapah, and after that it was going nowhere, so I tried to bring it to a conclusion. I fucked that up, obviously.
3. You know, he might have tried distancing me. He didn't. To me, that's notable.
