Oso, that is largely correct. If you read Tazaro's posts from Day Two onwards, I get a definite impression that Tazaro has been trying to get somebody
besides himself
to run with the logic of why Furcolow was killed. Tazaro does not start off making either of the two most obvious inferences (i.e., that both Anon + Furcolow attacked Benmage, or that Furcolow died and you, our only claimed power role, did not), and only later again brought up the subject when nobody latched on.
I have used such suggestions to great effect in the past, but suggestions do not necessarily have to be "Why didn't X die?" I think my most memorable game where I (and my scumteam) did something like this was Simon Mafia. In that game, after we had a couple role-claims so far, the informed the Town of a note left on a door which said, "All claims so far are truthful." Me and my scum-partners knew this was false (since a partner had fake-claimed prior to this announcement), and we decided to discredit whoever had that role before they could claim. Our team was allowed to write our own nightkill flavor, so we had our target die with a note written on his head, saying "All claims so far are truthful" (suggesting the note-writer was part of the mafia). I pointed out how strange this was
here. Take note of my language: "Not sure what to think about that right now. But it's dang weird, and I'm surprised I missed it at first."
You can see my scum-brain working in retrospect. The inference is obvious enough: that the mafia control the note-writer. But I purposefully avoided saying it in the hopes somebody else would make the suggestion. That way, the idea would be attributed to
them
. I feel like Tazaro is trying the exact same type of ploy.
