Galz as the NK doesn't surprise me quite as much.
Scum had to decide whether to go after Swowl or not - and it was probably a safe assumption that Antman would shrink last night, given that the previous NK was chairs (i.e. Antman could relatively safely not shrink that night).
If scum goes after Swowl and he shrinks, we'd be at 5 today - and still have two Misexiles. By targeting Galz that get us down to 4 and Xilo territory.
That, or Swowl is scum.
I'm not surprised they targeted someone non-Swowl, just that they chose Galz, who was getting some scrutiny. The person receiving the least suspicion has been faust. So I'm wondering why Swowl thinks Galz was the obv!nk.
Swowl thinks Galz was the obv NK because I am thinking ahead about which 3 players are alive at the end. It is now known that skum is in [Pasta, EFHW, faust]. That will be the final day.
Just take it as a real hypothetical. 2/3 of you are town. Here are the 3 potential outcomes:
1. Town!Pasta must choose between EFHW, Faust
2. Town!EFHW must choose between Pasta, Faust
3. Town!Faust must choose between EFHW, Pasta
OK, then assume that they kill someone that is *not* galz
1. Town!Pasta:
a. Skum!EFHW shoots Faust. Town!Pasta choosing between EFHW, Galz - EFHW gets caught. I mean I assume at least, that would of been easy choice.
b. Skum!Faust shoots EFHW. Town!Pasta choosing between Faust, Galz - So the faust, Galz pairing is the the only close one. But still compare all of them to the alternative with Galz
being dead... I think faust gets lynched in that set up over Galz.
2. Town!EFHW:
a. Skum!Pasta shoots Faust. Town!EFHW choosing between Pasta, Galz. - Bye bye pasta.
b. Skum!Faust shoots Pasta. Town!EFHW choosing between Faust, Galz. - Same as the above faust, Galz Pairing... just EFHW choosing instead of Pasta.
3. Town!Faust:
a. Skum!Pasta shoots EFHW. Town!Faust choosing between Pasta, Galz. - Pasta lynched.
b. Skum!EFHW shoots Pasta. Town!Faust choosing between EFHW, Galz - EFHW lynched.
This is not typed up to make it seem like someone is more likely to kill Galz than others. The point is simply Galz was the best kill selection regardless of which one of the three of you did it. Clap clap clap.
