Personally, I've found happy's play admirable.
I am chagrined that I have fewer posts than the mod.
Didn't Smeags already claim Godlike instead of shadowspawn? If so, that would contraindicate attempted backpedaling. Even if not, I'd still be inclined to believe he just got a little carried away with his flavor speak, though less confident of course.
I have to say, blocking the cop and supposedly having a jailkeeper shot in a game with a doc and a nurse et cetera looks MIGHTY bad for Linkz, not to mention the guilty scan we have.
Considering how powerful the Silence is, it makes some sense that there would only be one use of it available. It could have been set up like a game of chicken: use it before it's too late, or hold out to try to outlast the counter-role and then use it. What boggles my mind it that it was used immediately, and not fixed. Unless it's a one-shot that only works defending against the Silencer on the night it's done, but that's just insanely unlikely IMO. I have to wonder what was going on with mantle that he was unable to fix it. Or was he blocked? I forget, and it's real forgetting this time and not just retardedly not noticing the Silenced guy on the scoreboard.
Anyway, the Silencer would have two shots, maximum. Maybe he's saving the other one.
I think I'm prepared to lynch Linkz, but I'd rather give this Night a little time to mature and give people a chance to weigh in before jumping on the wagon. Also, I'll be asleep soon and unable to react to potential craziness.
