[Rabbitman]

<p>On the Paws thing, there was a player on Ewb called srar and she'd sometimes find herself in the same position. She could easily blend in and it spooked other players. I once killed her because of that and luckily she was a cult leader. So yeah I can see the line of thinking that people would be wary of giving someone like Paws as described as being too long a leash.</p><p> </p><p>

I don't see the night ending thing as being mafia. The theory that someone feared death and wanted to use it is a decent one but I'm of the thinking that whomever used it probably doesn't like no lynches and wanted to force us to talk, use our deductive reasoning and probably lynch someone this time. A slight variant on that theory could be someone fearing the loss of at least one top player last night, for no mafia gone and wanted to wring as much discussion from our elite before we lose them and risk the bad guys taking control.</p>

[Destiny]

I'm still not seeing the logic behind it. There isn't anything that we can discuss today that we couldn't have discussed after a night phase with all the information we could have learned. As for being scared of dying, how fun would a never ending day one be? Do they really have much more to contribute today that they couldn't yesterday? I suppose things will be clearer when we learn their reasoning in post game.

[djthefunkchris]

Not getting the Paws thing? Did she really do something incredible in another game and everyone is scared she is scum every game now?

[FellaLibby]

<p>If people are so afraid of Paws because of "past victories, ya'll need to grow up and remember that, that was then, this is now. Seriously, just ganging on one person just because its her doesn't make it credible. And thinking shes automatically a threat based on previous games, is something that scum have to worry about right? So why just assume shes out to get you? For all we know, she could be a townie with decent powers here.</p><p> </p><p>

She may though still be scum but without any current game facts, and basing your votes and fears on past games is not applicable. Styles tell a person yes, but not every game is the same. This is me in my second official game and I know thats nuts of me to say but you should just grow some stones. Go on facts of the present, not the past.</p>

[Destiny]

As a sign of good faith I'll Google my character again to answer your question DJ, and looks like mine has been on TV before.
