On to the discussion at hand, Cranebeinn has been high on my list of suspects for a while, as a few people can confirm from private conversation. I was also in conversation with Finn, and he wasn't sure he could trust you either, despite your gift.
I am glad we have now settled that I am the inventor. That I have not lied about that or fake-claimed a role.

The reasoning he gave me for why you gave him a gift on night one didn't seem adequate, but he was hypothesising on your behalf, so it'd be very helpful to understand to whom you have tried to gift each night, and why you chose that person. Like some others here, I don't see what happened on day one to make Finn seem so trustworthy, and I cannot fathom why you felt Wilhalm was deserving of a present, especially after trying to call him out for his silence (which hasn't exactly improved a significant amount). Giving a present to Finn would help 'confirm' you to a townie, even if the gift was protective - you could just kill other townies instead, or having gained his trust find out if he'd used it. It wouldn't make sense for you to target him last night, knowing he had a protective item, but we unfortunately don't know if you knew whether he'd already used it. I appreciate that you may feel we will disbelieve whatever answer you give to that.
Your role in itself, as described to me by Finn, didn't strike me as necessarily only useful to townies, so you being an inventor doesn't necessarily mean you're a town inventor. There are other things, too, like your timely appearance as Demeter to support Hervi, and then reappearance in the form of Hephaistus - two names apparently to protect your identity, even though the person protecting this identity was Hervi, a known scum who was on their way to be lynched at that point. Anyway, for now, I'd like to hear more about why you chose to gift to the people you did, please.
It seems I've been a bit trusting all round. Trusting Finn, (vindicated) trusting Hervi (fail!) approaching bergulf...
Why Finn?
He called me out on day one about the vote on Wilhalm. That started us talking. I played a previous school with him, I needed someone to trust, I took a leap.
Never make that mistake again. Thanks for rubbing it in with 'Finn didn't trust you either'
Why Wilhalm?
He was on a list of sheep Dragmall suspected. But Hervi warned people off voting him. In thread. And Hervi was smart scum. He would never protect a fellow scum so blatantly. (don't give me any reverse psych over that. I'm explaining
my[/] thinking, not yours.) therefore Wilhalm was a very low probability of being scum. Plus an invention might move a silent sheep to an active and helpful townie.
As for knowing whether or not Finn used his gift. He told me something went weird with it night three. The night he was blocked... Perhaps we should take a closer look at that night.
As for killing him. Huh? I don't think I'd make that play if I [i]were scum. Surely I'd keep him around to verify my "claim".
Town inventor? Or not?
Let me unpack my role fully. Likely you haven't got all the details.
Target a player, granted a random one-shot night ability
30% chance No effect, 15% chance each of Bulletproof or Ascetic, 10% chance each of Watch, Protect, Track, Block.
I asked straight up, self target (no), repeat target(yes)
Yeah, that's a scummy list of powers, not.
Does it suck it's random? Yup. Does it suck that three times in ten its useless?Yup. Is it balanced? Ask Odin.
Hervi, and multiple names.
Hervi writes play including my words to Bergulf calling me Demeter.
I worry I could be called out as scum over that. So I come forward explaining my words, owning up to Demeter. Should I have not?
Then because I foolishly trust Hervi, I reveal to him I am the inventor. He code names the inventor Hephastus. Clearly he's not going to say Demeter is the inventor, since everyone paying attention knows I'm Demeter. I figure it's more protection for me. I'm already Demeter, no one is going to come hunting for me as the inventor. Then it turns out Hervi is scum and they know I'm the inventor (since I was blocked night three). So we're here on day five and I'm saying everything in thread (just like Snotra wanted) because there's no point hiding anything. I'm clean, and my words shine light on other lies.
