This is going to be a mega post. Sorry Anon. I'll have a tl;dr at the bottom of my post.
For the record, I honestly have no idea whether Amished and Anon see the same thing I see. I suspect Doc doesn't, but thats a discussion for another time.
here's what I see:
Ifrinn wrote:And if one person openly claims to have received a power role you can safely assume they would be chow food if Charlie is right in saying town have no set power roles.
Charlie im not sure on what you are saying here.
Ifrinn wrote: Sorry. I forgot to mention this sounded like rolefishing. Minus town points.
Condensed for people on the go:
Ifrinn wrote:What if Charlie is right!?
I don't get what you are talking about, Charlie. Please, tell me more!
Charlie's suggestion is scummy!
Talk about dissonance. He simultaneously tries to discredit my suggestion by using Charlies posit about power roles while calling Charlie scum for making said suggestion,
all while fishing for more information from Charlie.

are we certain that they ARE any town PRs in this zombie infested wasteland?
Both statements just rubbed me up the wrong way. If town receives an item tonight and then is killed off by scum the same night. In the scenario in your mind does this mean we'll have to wait another whole day for the item?Charlie what is your experience with either part of the AI director? Ive checked your wiki but there is no love there.
Ifrinn has a greater focus on trying to figure out the power of the town than hunting for scumbags, and here Ifrinn is fishing for whether or not Charlie has significant reasoning to believe there are no power roles, which is something that scum would be very concerned about. The questions Ifrinn asks have absolutely no weight on Charlie's alignment and serve to only fish for more information about what Charlie knows about the setup.
Speculation about the presence of power roles only helps the scum team find said power roles (For instance, Charlie is very obviously a vanilla townie, so the scum know to look elsewhere.) at this time and it is in the town's interest to stamp out such lines of questioning. Deliberately perpetuating this is absurdly pro-scum.
And just why is Charlie suggestion scummy? It rubbed him the wrong way. The only even vaguely concrete reason he gives for his suspicion is that it "sounded like role fishing". L. O. L.
Condemning an idea while simultaneously using it as fuel elsewhere, fishing for information about the setup, with contrived reasons for suspicion. What does this all add up to? Scum.
He is also riding the easy mislynch wagon while maintaining a facade of indecision, which is hilariously scummy.

I played coy about the reasoning involved because I wanted to use this as an opportunity to work on reads for the other players in the game. I have a couple town reads I am pretty sure about and I have a good idea who Ifrinn's buddies would be.
tl;dr: Ifrinn is AWFULLY curious about why Charlie might doubt the existance of power roles. Also, He calls the suggestion scummy while using it to push his agenda elsewhere.
