I see what you're saying, but as you said why not use the power yesterday? And I didn't twist your words to say I was recruited, but the only way I could see the flavor happening is if my hypothetical partner tried to recruit me.(and that would obviously fail since we're on the same team already)
As for "Linkz, the role that targeted you today. Is that a town role? Because it sounds like a role that's looking for someone. IS that town? Because the roles I've had experience with that look for others are generally bad people."
I think it's a town role, but cannot be certain. I do know I was not recruited, nor have I been informed of anything changing me(vote thief or whatever else may exist) except that my character name was revealed. I don't think we're dealing with any cult-like factions, and I can only think of a rolecop or poisoner as mafia abilities which could have affected me, since I wasn't RBed and am not dead. It would be very odd for a recruiter to announce their own name. Furthermore, I am able to find out not only which player targeted me, but their name as well. I didn't know the flavor was going to happen, otherwise my plan was to call out "Hai Yo"(if he agreed to outting or a large amount of votes called for it) to claim the visit at the same time. Like being visited by a FN there is no reason to lie about the visit even as mafia. It wouldn't confirm him, but my goal was only to be confirmed myself.
I'm not giving a name. "Hai Yo" has clearly chosen not to come forward.
