Maybe they just wanted to try it out in the beginning. Not much would be lost since there are still so many players. But they wouldn't go through the whole game falsely thinking he'd be untouchable. At least they would have info whether or not what he said was true.
This resonates with me. I think we're doing a tiny bit of overthinking in the thread. SOV more or less taunted the wolves with that post, so the wolves probably said "we need to find out sooner or later, might as well be now." It's not like SOV isn't known for pulling some pretty bold bluffs.
I think the death seen pretty much speaks for itself. Something weakened SOV - an item or a role. That implies he probably did have some sort of protected status.
The bummer is that I don't see any clues in the write-up that are useful for identifying anyone.
Yo, villagers, get with the info spread: Did anyone have an item last night? No need to say what it was if you have some reason, but we could at least start building our db of knowledge.
Lynch DVMD. Just because you said this last game when you were a wolf.
Look. We all know I like to lynch DVMD more than .... well, anyone .... but that's pretty much how she plays always. That makes your reason contrived. Which means:
lynch Escalla
I guess I feel pretty loyal to my little group already...
I never will understand why people feel some sort of loyalty to the artificial constructs of the 'groups'. We aren't here to win as groups (at least, that I know of) ... we're here to win as villagers or wolves. So why some loyalty to people who might be out to kill you?
I suspect I just gave SOV an idea for his next game. Sigh.
On that note ... .neuro exam, done - onwards to urinary. This week BLOWS. Two of my least-favorite subjects.
