Yes. Let me elaborate.

What occurred in the Day 4 lynch post was the result of a lynch switch. It could not have been anything else. However, whether it was because of Ian Anderson's role or because of something else, that's up to interpretation.

Alex, maybe you can clear it up for us all...when Ian does make a save, would it appear to be a random stranger or would it clearly be Ian Anderson?

Sure, I can help by answering questions.

Ian Anderson's role is what it is. He can perform 2 lynch switches and 1 lynch pardon if he is alive throughout the game---regardless of how it is written into the story.

I hope that answers your question. If you (or anyone else, for that matter) need(s) clarification on anything else, just let me know. If I can't answer it, I will state that I can't, so it doesn't hurt to ask.

I've noticed a possible second option, but it still leaves some things unexplained.

So am I. Either "Ian Anderson" is playing us for fools or he appears to know more than he shows.

I doubt that, too, based on this...this description makes it seem like it wouldn't be a random stranger doing the distraction, but it seems as if it would have said something like "Suddenly, Ian Anderson showed up and *blah blah blah blah* thus convincing the angry crowds to choose a different target":

Thats true. Well, I'm stumped.

SPEECH AT LAST!

So the part in the character descriptions about the Kurt Cobain appearing to be saved by Ian Anderson intrigues me...

Also, thanks Bea for the defense.

no problem dp - as a rule - I shall never vote silenced players unless I am 100% sure they are evol.

when others do it - it just reeks of baddie manipulation.

Couldn't be that, because Joel voted for yours truly. So I'm guessing it must be an Anderson save.

Oh, I'd forgotten about that. Yeah, that seems much more likely.

It's possible, but that's a hell of a lot of host manipulation.

I'm more in the "Holy sh*t I'm really confused" court that S~V~S is in.

Good point. I guess that reading the last few pages would have been helpful before assuming this. LOL

That does not explain it.

Besides, Joel voted.
