I didn't really play day 3 as well as I could have because I knew it was going to be a 50/50 shot either way. Xander is new enough to not understand certain meta, and if I had tried harder, it might've worked against me instead. I credit the lynch to that dumb idea of prof being alive = mafia prof.
Sucks, but what can you do in that situation?
Like I said, I really expected xander to be more suspicious of spurge. Especially about the day 1 lynch thing, because spurge was wrong, and xander believed him because xander was probably not following the game. Spurge's accusations really came off as flailing, and I expected xander to see that.
