Ok I had this thing planned for a while now, been waiting for Tina to confirm that this wouldn't break a rule
Wait... ok. My flavor text mentions a lover. She was apparently sent away on the ship. After I die, the lighthouse closes, and ghosts will haunt the island. That's why I'm a "Time Bomb" (thanks for that wording Tina :/). The Veteran part of my role is caused by my paranoia. My theory is that someone is a Lyncher, my lover trying to lynch me, so I can be with her in the afterlife or smthn. On to the rainbow of reads.
ok, so apparently since noone else, not even punchy, is willing to defend him, i guess its on me to try and make a case for him. rn im thinking theres about a 60 percent chance of punchy being town, not great ik but its a start.
im pretty sure that this proves that his role is at least real and not a fakeclaim or smth he made up, bc:
1. the flavour text is consisntent with the rest of it in the game
2. the writing style is consistent with tina's ('the lighthouse closes, and ghosts will haunt the island')
3. the flavour text is consistent with his role, as a lighthouse keeper would probably be paranoid enough to be a vet
4. the flavour text is too complex for it to be a fakeclaim, and im not sure enough about the writing abilities of the scumteam to call it a fake with any certainty
this should definitely prove that it is at least a real role, but it doesnt necessarily prove that its a town related role. for that, i think we should point to the name of the role and cross-reference it to toms name. remember that tom's role flavour is a supernatural creature? now look at punchys role, where it says that upon his death, ghosts would be released on the town due to his relationship with a lover. this seems to suggest that the lighthouse keeper is keeping the ghosts away from the town, and that if the ghosts were released it would hurt the town and benefit the ghosts. seeing as tom was a supernatural creature, i think its safe to say the town is normal ppl and that maf are the ghosts and monsters, which would mean that his characther is against the maf.
the only counterargument that i can think of is that he used a fakeclaim and combined it with his own story written to be like tina, to which i would say that he would probably be more likely to just use his own role pm instead of smth original, and the flavour is too anti ghosts (and therefore anti mafia) to be coming from a mafia alligned role
ikik im just analyising his flavour text of all things, but i still feel like it has merit as an argument. if im still alive after night ends ill try and do an iso on him to see how his actions hold up
