Don't you guys think that if Ness was scum he'd be more in the background or trying harder to push someone else? like it seems as if he's just given up because he's frustrated. And if he was scum why would he claim such a ridiculous role, it'd be so much more believable to simply claim Granny.
so these are the possibilities, he's being:
1. bad town. he's not lying, was trolling 2 b funny and then when everyone was like wtf ru doing, he just backed himself into a corner
2. worse scum. he's lying and slipped majorly??? on purpose? idk I honestly don't think this is that likely. Ness isn't a bad player and I doubt he would be so obvious. although I have not looked into previous games when he was scum
3. third party?? where his wincon is being lynched or something idek
imo the 1st seems the most likely given that he was pushing Daniel in the beginning so id assume he was reaction testing. I just think if he was scum he'd be more likely to lay low and not bring so much attention to himself. anyway although some of his actions don't scream town, to me it seems like he just got emotional. so I won't be voting him. I'd rather vote someone that's kind of skating by even though they're usually strong/aggressive players. namely, Ender. I'll be looking more into him rn, I'm on mobile at work so I only have enough time to write this for now, sry
