LSU: that was on purpose
What a mess. Just to react on the recent diddle post, a big fat QFT. I really don't get why every cop and their donut decided to go out and claim when it was obvious there'd be various sanities and it's better in that case to lay low and try to figure it out. Anyway, right now the only cop that I fully believe is Brownie, as he came out happy with his scum result (left to see if he's the useless paranoid cop or the useful sane/insane kind

).
Now to reflect on a few interesting posts I saw along the way...

Unvote Vote SL
Actually, that's wrong. If SL is in fact scum it would tell us nothing about Brown's sanity except that he can't be insane

This rather unnecessary claim means 2 things: either a townie cop that was worried about Sierra getting lynched seeing his result, or a scum worried about his partner (and in both cases, skimming the hell out of Sierra's busdrive claim

).
Sierra_Leon wrote:Anyhow, I think there are two possible ways to go here:
1) Lynch kiwi. If he's town, browng is paranoid of insane. Or scum, but I doubt that.
2) Lynch me. You find out I'm really the busdriver, and you lynch kiwi next. (or even better, if there's a vig he can take him out)
My vote is already on kiwi, so I'm leaving it there.
I wish SL was around to hear him expand on this. I find it surprising that SL & Kiwi are linked by the respective night actions already, but SL manages here to make sure if one is lynched the other gets 'cleared' by it (in case they're both scum). Pretty weird logic...

Here it looks like Kiwi sees an exit from his screwup (putting both him and SL under heat) and goes for a lynch that'd be the less useful one of the 3 concerned.

Because I'm not going to contribute towards lynching yet another cop, I'll Vote Skoffin for unusual behaviour. Giving names means nothing and you know it. They could easily lie about it and throw us down the wrong track.
FOS Masket for this. It seems primordial to figure out who's lying/who will need protection right now and Masket detracts the attention from the problem. Plus I need an excuse to FOS him so all is well.

Without giving away information to make me vulnerable, I had a night action, and Kiwi and Sierra were both in it. At first I didn't understand my answer, b/c it gave no information I could use then. But after seeing Sierra and Kiwi under the spotlight, it all makes sense. Again, I want to be as safe as possible here, so I'm not going to say anything revealing.

Vote Sierra becasue he will be more dangerous than Kiwi. Fos Kiwi
Very interesting post. It reinforces my guts feeling that there's something between these 2 more than just their night actions; the analysis makes a lot of sense. One thing though regarding your action, even if I'm not sure if you can expand as I can't think of what kind of action you have in the first place: do you think you'd have gotten a different result if they were both doing their claimed action (ie sierra busdriving kiwi & himself, kiwi ending up investigating himself)?
In any case, at this point I find it likely that SL & Kiwi are both scum. Now to see which one to lynch, contrary to Jnd I'm not sure what's the best option: looking at it 'risk that we're wrong'-wise, Kiwi could be a cop (though when I checked his nameclaim the character looked kinda minor, if someone like Skoffypop if she ever pops up again could give an opinion setting-wise it might help); SL could be a busdriver (but a pretty cool town player to have if it turns out that way). I'll put my vote tomorrow before the deadline, since we have a bit more than 24h.
