I don't think you've been following the discussion very well at all.
He started the game talking about how characters might fit with the game - indication that he is a character
Made a point that it might be too dangerous to talk about the characters after all - indicating some stress
Claimed to be a human- this is the only part that I'm torn on. Was he not paying attention? Ws he fishing? etc
Suddenly, on his arguments with me, thinks that all the humans are in fact random homeless people (unnamed)
How does one go from thinking that there are "characters" to "the humans are random homeless people"?
That is the big question, and that's what you're completely missing here.
What you're also missing is that at first, it doesn't appear that he ever meant to go claiming test subject #XXX, but that he didn't realize that he was going to get tested on his claim, and got stuck with claiming it.
I'll say that if he's actually town, it's a pretty big coincidence that I nailed him as being a non-character.
The last person to claim, the 5th human out of a cast of 4, coincidentally, is the one with no name, who lashes out the second I press him on his name, to which it almost looks like he's avoiding confirming what I'm saying until every last human claims a name.
I can believe it, but it's a pretty freakin' unbelievable.
