This will be a surprise to no one, but I investigated Qvist last night, to make it official; and yes, it's official, he is definitely scum.
Vote: QvistNow, to respond to Frisk's question yesterday that I was typing up when the thread got locked.
Qvist counter claiming him is very very strange play.
It made sense if he thought I'd investigated him and was about to out him as scum. The two big shifts in my expressed views between Day 2 and Day 3 were (1) less suspicion of Frisk and (2) more suspicion of Qvist, so his trying to preempt both by fakeclaiming Cop with a town result on Frisk was his best shot at preempting me.
This is very advanced play that doesn't make sense for someone who tunnelled on me all day.
It's a fair point that the preemption idea is advanced play. But Qvist's behavior can also be explained by a simpler narrative:
1. During Night 2, Qvist and ash decide to switch off the Doctor and to kill Eevee. They know that if the Cop is someone other than Eevee, then the Cop will have a working investigation going into Day 3.
2. ash has claimed VT already and so can't fakeclaim Cop. So only Qvist can fakeclaim Cop.
3. To fakeclaim Cop, Qvist needs to say who he investigated (and cleared as Town). Newbie scum Qvist thinks: "Who is the most believable target?" The answer he decides on: "The person I expressed the most suspicion of Day 2." So, Frisk.
4. To support that planned fakeclaim, Qvist makes a point of reducing his announced suspicion of Frisk during Day 3.
5. When I claim Cop, Qvist is in a "now or never" situation and decides he'd better fakeclaim. And so claims to have investigated Frisk, per the original plan.
Frisk, here's my question to you: Looking over Day 2, knowing now that joth and ash were scum - does
their play make more sense if the last scum is Qvist, or does their play make more sense if the last scum is me?
I posit that it makes more sense if the last scum is Qvist, but of course I am biased because I know Qvist is scum. I am confident that, upon your own review of the record, you will reach the same conclusion.
