I'm a guy. I'd also appreciate knowing this for everyone, as I keep awkwardly jumping back between he and they, and it kind of bothers me.

Regarding Xel's SK case against Psycho:

It's kind of tenuous. The problem is, it assumes that a serial killer will play super town as it's in their interest to do so, and that's not really the case. There's not a perfect way to play SK since it involves balancing different elements. Gradiant was killed on N1, and if I had to guess it was because of his town play--everyone was reading him as town, which would have presumably removed him from the pool of lynch candidates the next day. The SK will want to avoid suspicion during the day, while also not doing anything to attract attacks at night.

As for what the case says about Xel, I don't know. I've had trouble reading Xel all game, and posts like this--which contain a lot of stuff that seems strained to me--are part of the reason. An all out attack like this at this stage of the game, under these conditions, seems like a bad move for either the remaining wolf or the SK, so I end up reading Xel as town just from the commitment of it (plus Haku already turned red in my Haku-Xel dichotomy). But it's pretty obvious by now that Xel and I don't view this game the same way at all.

THAT SAID The DPB meta is strong with this one and I'll be shocked as shit if DPB turned out to be VT. That EoD on day one was a complete shitfest. While everyone could turn out to be the SK in this situation if I absolutely had to gutread someone as such it'll be Pyscho, although there is no way I believe they bussed two partners right out the gate. If so, then damn son.

I'll be shocked as shit if DPB/psycho turns out to be power role town, given that Gradiant flipped cop, Shado flipped vig, and Charu remains un-CCed. So I'm not sure what you're going for here. Psycho is either vanilla town or anti-town by simple logic, we're really out of other alternatives.
