Jazzmyn's post: Jazzmyn, how do you feel about this now? Has you opinion changed at all? I, for one, find the gradual changes quite telling, I have serious doubts about Gateway.
My opinion about the metamorphosis of his claim has not changed. He initially claimed to
possibly
get a list of two players (which suggests that instead he might get a list of one or none), and that one of the players on any such list might
possibly
be scum. He claimed that he had the option to
ask
his police friends to
deal with
one of the names, or the option to have both names revealed in the thread the next day. That claim seems at least plausible to me (i.e. a sort of weak cop role) and assuming that the names are randomly generated. At that point, Gateway wasn't claiming to be a hands-on killer, but rather a sort of quasi-investigative role.
Then he morphed that into
definitely
getting a list of two people, one of whom might
possibly
be scum, and having a choice of having one of those two players
dealt with
, presumably by his cop friends to whom he previously alluded. Again, this suggests a weak cop role, where he gets to suggest a name to someone else for investigation, and he says nothing about any hands-on work of his own or anything about having any ability to get a result himself - rather, it suggests that a cop would get a result.
Then, he morphed that into a completely different scenario in which he
definitely
gets a list of two names each night, one of them is
definitely
scum, one of them is
definitely
town, and he gets to either
personally kill
one or report both names in the morning. This is vastly removed from his initial claim.
From that, I conclude that Gateway is either scum or an independent faction of some kind, out to achieve a personal win condition, and that he morphed his claim to try to convince the rest of us that he's town rather than scum or independent. I don't believe for one second that the game mod would give a town-aligned role two names every night with one being certain scum and one being certain town, because that would be a ridiculously unbalanced setup. But I also can't fathom why Gateway, as scum, would offer up such a convoluted and ever-morphing fake claim.
So, I'm leaning more toward the likelihood that he is an independent with a kill ability but certainly not that which he claims (i.e. getting two names each night, one a certain townie and one a certain scum).
Sekinj is behaving very bizarrely in staunch defence of Gateway, which makes me think that she is scum and that the scum think that Gateway can be of use to them, at least for a while until they decide to kill him off after he's outlived his usefulness to them.

Oh, look, someone's taking first year psych classes. Well, far be it from me to dissuade anyone from higher education, even if it's a basket weaving course like psych 101, so I'll play.
Do you think you're insecure?
About certain things, yes.
@all
More later, and probably a vote, once I do a more thorough re-read of the last few pages and update my game notes and analysis.
