Tbqh I'm more inclined to think they're an older player since I hadn't even posted in the thread once so I can't think of any reason for them to have messaged me unless they know me from other games.
They said you needed them, as well?
That's an odd thing to say if they don't know your role.
Well, they are confirmed scum to me since they claimed grey, so I'm guessing they're either a Neutral trying to take a stab in the dark somehow hoping I wouldn't out them, or a Mafia trying to either find a Neutral or to fake a Neutral. I'm kind of leaning Neutral on them on the fact that they claimed it and seemed to want to fish out at me.
I can't really think of any other reason to message a person who hadn't even posted in the game yet, other than possibly knowing them from another game/meta.
I'm gonna have to agree that the setup seems to likely be 6v2v1, considering how 1 Mafia would seem too little and 3 would be too much since 5v3v1 would be bullshit for us. And there's apparently a Mafia or some equivalent considering how the message guy seemed to be sure "red" people exist, plus the OP states no NKs or conversions iirc, so the only other type of scum that doesn't fit that bill afaik is a Mafia. So I'm guessing there might be two Mafia and a Neutral (whoever it is that can send messages).
tl;dr: I think it has to be someone I know since I can't think of any other reason for them to message me out of all people.
You're making a lot of assumptions I'm not ready yet to make. I have another important question but it MAY be unlawful to answer (because I know fuck all about the rules) but did you get the message DURING the day, or at the BEGINNING of the day?
That is to say, you posted about it 4 hours into the day. Either this is an ability that can be used DURING the day, or it's an ability that can be used at the beginning of the day. If it's something that can be used during the day, it's particularly silly to use it so early in the day, on a person who hasn't posted. We can possibly extrapolate from that -- if it had to be used before the day began, then NO ONE posted, and it's irrelevant that it came to you as opposed to someone else. If it was used during the day... then that may say a lot about the player who used it, besides just that they know you.
