Since when was not posting for 24 hours "disappearing"? I can't just let something play out, can I?
On Nark: I am actually inclined to believe Nark is a Jester. There's his scummy behavior for starters, which has been stated enough and can be symptomatic of Jester.Then there's the bomb claim. There are only 3 possibilities:
1. He's telling the truth. Obviously in hindsight this is not the case. But even when it was under consideration it has the distinction of being really bad. Let's move on, shall we?
2.He's mafia trying to bluff us. Possible, to be sure. The bomb claim served as a bluff to keep from being lynched or nk'd. But why would a mafia act so blatantly scummy? And wouldn't he put a little more effort into the claim? Finally, we have:
3. He's a Jester and wants us to call his bluff. Like I said, the bomb claim isn't even well laid-out. It's very possible that this lack of design is, well, by design. In this scenario, he wants us to call his bluff so he can get lynched and win. It would also explain his openly scummy behavior.
Now there's this new claim. I find it fishy. Here's why:
1. It is extremely outlandish. So Nark claims to be a power role (vig) with a lover connection to another power role (JOAT)? Let's do the math here:
This is an 11 player game. Assuming the setup is standard, there should be 3 mafia. Now, if Nark is telling the truth, consider the idea of the vig, the JOAT, and the mafia killing the night after a mislynch. In a worst-case scenario, the townie-scum ratio would be 4:3, which is a LYLO scenario. On Day 2. Also consider that if we were to lynch him, the town would lose 2 pro town power roles plus endure a mafia kill. In this worst-case scenario, the townie-scum ratio is 5:3, yet another LYLO situation. And Nark, well aware of at the very least the limited implications of his actions, put himself in a position to be lynched by acting scummy and fakeclaiming? This is a townie?
2. He lied. This is the obvious one. It's also a really big one. When someone says stuff like...

...then they better be telling the truth. Need I go on here?
3. The lie doesn't even make sense, so why bother? So he lied. OK. Why? Nark claims it was because he "didn't want to out himself". That makes sense, I guess. But when people start asking questions about your role, why default to this claim? Why not just apply the character name to the bomb role? Clearly, it's not hard to make shit up, but a little flavor to the existing fake claim is far more plausible.
Nark CANNOT be town. Townies don't do this stuff. The only possibilities then are that he's either mafia or a jester. I lean jester because it just feels like a bluff he wants us to call him on. But that raises a number of other questions, like how a jester fits into the theme. These are things we need to discuss before we can make a final call, but as it stands, I believe there is no way he can be pro town. Thoughts?
