Also, FT you didn't mention alignment, I don't know if that's an oversight or deliberate, and am kinda assuming ? was town but I did want to check on that ambiguity.

Anyway, ? was killed, and that's a weird choice. I suspect the scum would have believed his semi claim that he didn't have a night action, and he was probably vanilla, but going into the night the assumption would have been that he was vanilla or a passive role I'd think, and generally most passive roles are horrible candidates for NK, since that would tend to be bulletproof, mason, miller, bomb, etc. Further, ? was a probable lynch candidate, so it seems a weird choice, lacking alignment I suppose it's always possible he was scum and attacked a PGO, though that option would generally result in a dual kill depending on mod, or something along those lines but I think we should assume for the moment that ? was the target of the scum and probably vanilla.

It's rather hard to fathom a motive for killing him, though that could be motive in itself, I know when I'm scum I do try to pick targets who are unlikely to be docced or watched for instance. Still, it could indicate the scum know something we don't, I mean besides their own identities and abilities, because I really can't think of a motive to whack ? besides that. They had presumably 6-7 people to choose from, you'd think they'd have better options than the guy who had an anti-town mark on him and had basically claimed to be either vanilla or something a NK would usually not want to target, I sure as heck wouldn't want to burn a NK on someone who could be a good scapegoat for framing and who might be bulletproof, bomb, or miller, when I'd have a handful of other people to gamble on to try to get the cop or doc. I suppose he might have been targeted effectively randomly, or as a false flag to indicate the scum weren't too smart this game, but we should put our heads together real quick to see if anyone can think of another motive, like maybe he had indicated distrust or trust for a player that the scum might want to be otherwise, or might want us to think as much, "He clearly suspected X, and now he's dead" sort of thing along with attached WIFOM.

So can anyone shed light on a motive for this one? Hints, clues, thoughts, anything, say it if you've got it.
