I can also prove that I am not an Invader all in one go. Since the Invaders all have abilities that add something special to their kill, I can tell you the name of my 2nd ability which is obviously not a name of something that would do that. Then CJ can confirm it.
It's crazy how so many scumtells can fit into such a short post. Let's break this down, shall we?
- You said that all the invaders have "abilities that add something special to their kill". Considering how only one invader has been killed so far, as a group, we know nothing about the rest of the invaders' abilities. Saying that all of the invaders have such an ability is a bit of a stretch, and unlikely to be an assumption.
- The name of an ability or passive effect may be helpful in determining what it does, but it's very easy for someone to come up with an alternate effect. Just look at the abilities of the dead players - some of them are vague and could mean a number of things. The names of a person's abilities should not automatically clear them, which is what you are trying to claim is the case.
- If I'm not mistaken, Chaos Jackal said that he can only use his ability every other night. Since he found out about your "Survival" ability the other night, he'll have to wait two nights to give his results, by which time he could be killed, allowing you two extra days to live. We've also got to consider the possibility that Chaos Jackal is also an invader, and the two of you have set this all up. CJ could have been lying about his ability to learn ability names (or could be telling the truth, this part doesn't really matter) and giving the town this information to gain townie cred. If you're lynched today because of this, he gets a lot more people to trust that he's a townie as well. If we do decide to hear you out and wait for a second result from CJ, he can back up your claim, effectively semi-clearing the both of you, and at the very least buying the invaders some extra time.
This is exactly why I support an alex lynch today, and depending on the results when he flips, we should look into Chaos Jackal afterwards. Ice Espeon has also caught my attention, as he/she is trying to divert attention away from the alex lynch to Porygon and Kecleon, two players who haven't even been too active. My eye will be on you as well.
