I think we learn quite a lot actually.I was working on the possibility that he may have been a communicating mafia. However unlikely that was, I felt since it's a long 48 hour day, that there was plenty of time to explore that option.
At this point, we certainly won't learn anything. The conversation has been killed. Ogre will come in and vote Rich, because that is the only vote to make. I guess he could vote me since I'm so scummy too apparently. I don't think devils advocate is scummy though. So, we'll have a landslide whatever to 1 vote to lynch Rich, and we'll see what he is.
At least we can talk about who else is connected, or not connected to the know scum, maybe that way we can help the innocent team make a better decision on who to hit tonight.
1) We learn which Journalist is trustworthy.
2) We lynch a Mafia (hopefully)
3) We clear (almost) another player.
4) We see who fought to not run Rich solely. (Zaffy, Annie, Ogre?)
I'm interested why the conversation has been killed in your opinion, there seems to be quite a bit of discussion.
And yes Devil's Advocate is scummy when you are suggesting voting a suspected INNOCENT just to try and flush out Mafia. They aren't dumb and I'm sure they can see through your masterful trap.
