...Well. In that case, let's see how that fits in with what I've got, just looking at this last Night.
Mood music goes here.
We have a triangle.
I claim to have gone nowhere.
Zar claims to have targeted me.
charter claims to have targeted Zar.
A kill occurred. One of the latter two is a lie. Well, both could be lies, but then I would just be Satellite of Love about the whole thing, but that doesn't seem likely.
If Zar is lying, then my primary hangup is "how the hell did he know what I did". It's just not something I'd expect someone to
guess
. Aside from that, Zar-scum would have incentive to lie and let charter wipe me off the map.
charter can't be lying about Zar's flavor, but we have no confirmation that he specifically targeted Zar Night 5. In addition, there is a gap where he has claimed to target shos Night 4. The investigation could have occurred there.
The idea of people investigating earlier for later Night results doesn't seem very plausible though. But, it's more likely to be the case than Zar being scum given his corroborated action...
In addition,
Zar reported that charter moved toward me Night 2, and charter confirmed this. This essentially confirms that Zar did not target me N2. That doesn't necessarily mean that charter was the one who stopped me N2, though (see: Nuwen), though.
Another consideration is if scum can kill and action on the same Night. If so, that means that Zar may have been able to use his action AND kill last Night. That throws almost all of the above out the window, especially with all of Nuwen's actions being fabricated. I want to say I know better than to ask the mod to clarify this point, though. As it stands it makes Zar-scum a dangerous possibility.
On a third level, I distinctly remember being suspicious of Zar and not charter D1, and that switching around later in the game. I want to say he's not necessarily lying about his role, though...
Aside from that, Yos's advice was to lynch charter over Zar, and I can't say I disagreed at the time.
Of course there's the obligatory thought that Zar-scum (who can kill and action) specifically drew up an endgame where I would lynch charter by design. Pretty much the only way Zar as scum would lose is if it came down to Yos2-me-Zar, aka a charter kill. Then again, clearing two Townies in a row with Track results is weird... and I can't really say that I was left alive to make the wrong decision...
And, I wish I hadn't lost my ability to savor duck cooked in honey and garlic, and the odor of the cedars of Lebanon, and the taste of bread-beer laced with the aroma of dates...
I feel horrible about this. I hate everything about LyLo. But if I had to make a decision, it seems like charter is the way to go...? Unless scum can action and kill at the same time, that seems solidly like the only thing that makes sense. And, I can't deny that Zar's reports have been more revealing throughout the game, which is pretty dangerous to do as scum.
I want to hear from charter.
Everything you say and do matters. People will respond in ways you may never see. May those responses be what you intend.
