A few things on the merc:
1. Merc can't afford to kill the FBI hacker. Televan wouldn't care to kill him. If the merc goes alone he'll need to kill 6 religious targets. Either he'll be controlled by Aria or he'll have so many kills he needs to do that he won't be able to spend them going after the FBI.
2. His best bet is to keep the Televan alive. He'll be worried about a town that's hunting him down, an FBI aimed at him, and accidentally killing his meal ticket.
3. As for the Theo claim, the reason why the Zealot did it is to try to pull a recruit attempt, since that would kill the Evan.
No zealot? Bah. Remember, ANY attempt to convert a religious power role would kill the Evan. Thus the Theo could easily be one of the religious.
However, barring trying to lynch him, the only way to take him out would be for Aria to merc him and if he turns out to be telling the truth that's 1 wasted shot.
Now, I'm not going to claim I'm a vanilla survivor, but merc? Why would I declare that we should target the merc when "I" am the merc?
First off, the threats against the town is much softer. There's one killing role, being controlled by Aria so that's the biggest threat. The aim should be on the merc since that'll end the Televan's power. Kill the Televan first and you get, essentually, a SK that desperately needs kills.
My first post. Also, second post to mention the merc and first to say that the town should off him.
Lastly, Person.. I'm not going to just say 'bull' to any wrong headed post. I give my reasons and get into debates. I'll try not to WOT though
