NQT:
This is my case for you.
Birdy has not once talked about what will happen two nights hence.
You want to talk the future, so let's talk the future. I'm not avoiding that subject.
Let's say that he allows NQT to find love. That leaves me, you and him left where he has the infinite ability to stall. This is a stalemate situation. But that doesn't mean it is a hopeless situation. Eventually, someone is going to have to give. That someone doesn't have to be you. You incorrectly assume that because you have no powers to dislodge him from his house, that you are useless.
No!
You have the most precious power of all. You have time. All the time you need to convince him to give way to love.
Deathsword... You may feel like you are useless right now, and that you have very little control over these proceedings. Please don't believe that.
He pretends to in this post, but he offers on real information or suggestions. He even admits the possibility for me to perpetually stonewall this game, but he offers no way around it. Despite this, he presses along without expressing any doubts about his plan to win. That, of course, is what motivates him. He wants to win, like all of us. To do this, he's claimed that he has to get every single third party role out of the game. But the plan he offered doesn't do that. The plan he offered would of made ONE third party win, and he completely avoided the subject on how the other third party would win. If he really was motivated by the necessity of getting all of third party to win, he wouldn't of so blatantly ignored what was obviously a gaping hole in his plan. His motivation and actions don't line up. He doesn't need all of third party to win, because his actions say he doesn't need it. All he needs is for them to not lynch him today. "But so what?" That's probably what you're thinking right now. "Why do I care? His plan would still let one of us win, and that's better then nothing. I don't see what his motivations have anything to do with it." This is the attitude that he wants you to take. All he needs is for you to be passive today. He's playing you! Don't you see that? I'm sure he has some form of nightkill. That's the only explanation for his actions. He's manipulating you into thinking you can win, all the while planning to night kill me and make ALL of us lose.
That explains why he claimed.
His play obviously wasn't stellar, so if he could convince the third party to go along with his plan, he could completely avoid the possibility of being lynched today.
This explains why he gave no thought for after tonight.
If his plan goes to plan, there WON'T be anything after tonight. Notice how when I prodded the fact that he never thought about the future, he STILL couldn't come up with any actual content. No wonder he didn't contemplate what would happen tomorrow. There won't be one!
He hasn't even expressed one worry about the apparent failure of his plan, the fact that DS and I can perpetually stalemate this game, without you winning.
This might be the biggest tell of them all. When faced with an almost certainty that NO third party will win tonight, and therefore not bring him closer to his goal, what does he do? He certainly doesn't propose an alternative! What he does is Shorten! He has no motivation to do this if his goal is what he says it is. What this does line up with is the motivation that I'm suggesting. He has obvious motivation to start the night as soon as he can while still keeping up appearances. He has avoided being lynched, and has therefor accomplished his goal. All he has to do is make sure this day ends and then he can NK me tonight.
Don't let him, NQT. Even if Birdy is telling the truth, the only way for you to win tonight is if DS lets you, and that's not going to happen. What's more likely is that birdy is lying, and will win the game tonight by manipulating you. Don't let him! Read my case, and think about Birdy's actions. They don't make sense for the role he claims. What they do make sense for, is a mafia, still with a NK, that's attempting to make it through this day alive.
