I'm going to now explain why I think Isquen is lock town and hopefully that will convince people that

1. He is town
2. I am town

I went into the night letting Isquen share suspicions. He said his reads were currently all the same and that Dumey was his number one suspect. He opened with the same thing that weirded Corrik out saying we should wait till 2 hours before deadline for anything important

I made a crack about "oh yeah if you say something big I might have scum kill you instead of the cop"

So then I shared some more suspicions. I had to argue with him that Chris was probably not GF because miller + gf in this setup would make the scanners garbage since the scans are already amambiguous. I had to argue with him that Corrik was town because to claim backup scanner blind and name the exact mechanic is ridiculous.

He had not talked that much at this point. Was a few hours in.

He said he was going to sleep. Like an hour later I said I was losing conviction he was town since I figured he would talk more if he was really mad Corrik didn't say anything.

I then claimed Gambit, Town Gambler. I said my ability was to redirect the night kill to the person I was in the room with once per game and if I redirected to town I would be unable to issue date requests the next day. I told him I was going to 100% use it tonight and I had decided to do this because. 1. I was not 100% sure he was town. 2. We were the big mislynches left on the table. 3. To gain another cop scan.

Isquen in the morning claimed his role to me (Travis Kelce, Vanilla), but said he guessed that was OK since it was saving the cop. He expressed some doubt over whether I was telling the truth but seemed to believe it in the end.

He then went into a few stages of theorizing scum setups and whether Id necessarily be saving the cop, and eventually coming to the conclusion that they'd probably shoot Chris roleblock Red if Chris wasn't scum and so signed off on my decision and said it made sense.

He then worked with me through scum hunting and we were thinking Dumey + Sultan/Ulti/Mzero/JC, with Sultan seeming most likely. I will say in honor of Lea's Death Ive decided to just give Kirby the benefit of a doubt going forward and not push his lynch.

I then after action deadline told him I was Boa Hancock vanilla and that hopefully there were no hard feelings

Overall his reaction to my claim (appear to believe it, work through whether it made sense to redirect to him, willingness to continue scumhunting, and the fact that Red was killed and not roleblocked with me being killed. I also quite liked that I had to argue with him about Chris and Corrik despite the obvious thing being to believe they are town.

So yeah I don't think Isquen's Sense Motive or Bluff are that high and going forward I'd rather be lynched than him if it comes down to that (since at least you might believe he's town if I'm dead)
