[Teh_Showtime]

<p>Nobody here does any research on their own it’s largely manipulated by whoever talks the most and their whims. With DJ/Opulent running the thread it’d be quite easy to rack on a multitude of votes since people auto trust them. Add that to an entire scum team that can stack the vote as well and it wouldn’t bode well trying to stay alive against all of that</p><p> </p><p>

I don’t even have anything to offer ability wise at the moment but I’m not gonna just stand by and be the first lynch of the game. Town can certainly make a better decision</p>

This answer can (and maybe should) be different then the first. An explanation would be nice but not needed.</em></p><p> </p><p> Archer.

But now the most pressing/curious thing to me is how I feel about Showtime's claim. It's too important a role in my mind to risk lynching just because I don't 100% believe it. An unnecessary risk with other questionable people still around.</p><p> </p><p> But he did dupe town last game with a fake claim and was able to survive way too long before we finally pieced it together.

The (apparent) Star Wars reference is lost on me. But for the record I do wonder how auto pilot would work in the event that you’re trying to evade someone.
