It's also very possible for a serial killer to have one, or for a mafia to have one when the game includes a serial killer.

3. That's not exactly how I remember it. When RCT popped back in the thread we were already deep into the debate about testing padib's claim. RCT escaping the noose was mostly due to the efforts to have padib's power proven, his claim was far from the focus of the discussion that ended up saving him.

4. That is a good question indeed. @RCT: Care to answer it when you come back?

Well, I did say A triggering B is not certain. All I was doing was listing the exact facts. Yes, there was the padib test discussion. However, he DID come in and think he was dead, and he DID claim because of which. Afterwards, he was off the lynch train. Again, I'm not saying A caused B, but it's possible that he said A to cause B.

4. Not to step on your toes, but anything he could say will likely be useless in any discussion, since he could be mafia or sk and could just run us around in circles. I think what's more important is that he tell us exactly what happened.

(sorry the thread fell off my buddy)

So, I think it's much more reasonable to believe that there's a serial killer/vigilante than two mafia groups. Do we agree on that?

Perhaps. I don't know enough yet to know for sure either way. I am curious tho if in this instance the killer/vigilante has limited shots as trucks eluded to then why would someone waste one on someone that claimed they had a bullet proof vest? is there a chance they don't have limited shots? I would figure they would want to make the shot count if it was limited. Unless of course the killer/vigilante went after theprof and killed spurge instead and the mafia went after RCT? However that makes me wonder why the mafia would waste a kill on someone with so much suspicion, so little contributions, and a claim that he had a bullet proof vest? 

To test the claim? It's possible mafia also attacked RCT.

While I don't want to admit, it's also possible the person targeted missed RCT's claim. I didn't know he claimed bulletproof vest.

I thought of a way to make sense of a second Mafia faction targeting RCT. If there is a Bus Driver involved in the game switching a high profile player with RCT would make a lot of sense.

i'm sorry can you say that again in newb? lol What exactly is a bus driver and why/how would they switch a high profile player with RCT?

Now see, as opposed to padib's superficial praise, THESE are actually good questions.

Why would a vig target RCT? Well, we don't even know if this actually happened, but to extrapolate on what trucks said: Mafia would unlikely target a claimed bulletproof because they'd probably believe him, whereas town would try anyway thinking that he was a lying mafia. Again, that's IF this actually happened.

The killer/vig coming after me makes no sense. An sk/killer/vig would want to go after mafia first, to whittle them down. There were very few reasons to target me. Unless the killer is an imbecile. Mafia had lots of reasons to kill me. A secondary killer would have had none. 

Good beginning questions, only need the experience to tie them together.

Wrong, and FoS for introducing bus driver.

If RCT was bussed with someone, they'd have to attack someone else so that it hits him....but it actually makes much more sense to target RCT to hit someone else. RCT said he lost his armor, not the other way around.
