If it helps, at all, that only solidified my (revised, but only due to Hector's baling out) intended final actions that night. Revealing that information (which
of course I read, you telegraphed it loudly!) didn't cause the game-loss, just gave me a large part of confidence that what I was doing was right. Plus a new, albeit smaller, thought that you were actually being far cleverer than me and was perhaps a player with the role "Riding Shotgun", in the car, purposefully now fakeclaiming to shield the actual driver from the threat. (I'm not above fakeclaiming even as a Townie, in the right circumstances, or even deliberately sacrificing myself for the good of my allies, you'll have already noted from prior rounds.)
Generally: Town should still have more logically concentrated on Fish's claim, I think. Hitchhikers are easily Scum material (as noted, but not followed-up on) and while it's obvious in hindsight that the role
was made with the initial absence in mind, it very much needn't have been. Of course, the person likely most sure of this erroneous position would be the driver (originally the only one knowing that this means a double-claim of Town Weak), but I've already deleted my notes on what everyone appeared to be thinking about everyone else about this time and can't be bothered to check back in the thread on Fallacy's actual attitude, directly. My 'town personae' had definitely decided that Fish was the suspicious one, and couldn't believe that nobody else was doing anything about it.
Back in my 'real world' as scum, I even at one point had a nagging thought that the Hitchhiker might mean it was a
double-Evil game (unallied, obviously), or else a Neutral with a distinct anti-Town streak (useful to me or otherwise). And if Town had gotten rid of Fish (ungrateful as it would have been, towards someone unable to join in the early stages), I'm pretty sure things might have turned out differently afterwards, but I'm not sure to whose advantage.
But the Man Of The Match, this round, was definitely Hector. Fully deserving of the second Victory Point that would otherwise have been mine...
