Just so we are all on the same page, to put everything in one place, I'll post the whole theory here. It is just a theory and I'd like you to poke holes in it the best you can because trying to disprove it is the best way of testing it.

Primate is the watcher
Primate attempted to visit Buffy
Scum triggered a lightening rod role
All visitors went to this scum member
Scum opted not to kill bc it would redirect the killer
Primate sees everyone who was attracted to the rod
The rod survived the vig attack either bc they are gf or the doc that was pulled to them
Primates list is everyone who visited last night

Have at it

The best news I can think of is that I would hope more than 4 people did stuff so hopefully that's not the case

wikeyb9m3bek @ 7/8/2019 20:37 Cavin an Ahoda both hinted at visiting roles and neither were seen by Primate last night, which casts more doubt on a lightning rod scenario Did they suggest they actually visited?

No, but I'd say it's a decent bet they do.

Even so, you'd expect there to be a decent number of visiting roles in play, unless we mostly have passive/vanilla roles.

Too hard to say at this point, we don't have enough info. It's definitely interesting and we should keep this in mind going forward, but yeah, at the moment it's just a distraction

You either believe there is a back up RB Rodney. Or the lightening rod. You can’t have both!

Universal backup changes roles every night

Primate seeing buffy visit herself implies the lightning rod was Buffy. Or used on buffy

I see the shitshow started early tonight. Fun times.

I doubt there are only 4 visiting roles in the game. Just saying.

Doesn’t universal backup just take on the first Town role that dies?

Primate was attracted to the rod just like everyone else, he wouldn't have actually visited her and he saw her wherever that was because she was pulled to it too

Not always. Sometimes it just takes the first town power role killed and keeps that for the rest of the game.

Maybe I have the names mixed up but there's one that you get 1-shots of everyone as they die

To be accurate, Primate saw Buffy visit his target, which was intended to be Buffy, but might not have been Buffy.

That sounds sponge like.

Just a theory that fists the scenario well enough. I have no proof of any of it and I hope it can be disproven
