Right, I think that's quite enough..

It's a simple matter of the ruleset - Neither the SK nor the Vampires have anything to gain by lynching people. The SK stands more of a chance of getting caught before hitting his 5 people, and the vampires lose potential risk free food and cover and the vampires are benefitting quite heavily from having so much cover, and I doubt they haven't realised this by now. The smart bet on both bad guy sides is to avoid lynchings.
If you tell people this, it will colour their behaviour, totally invalidating the point afterwards, so I'm trying to get as much activity as I can.
It does depend on them actually being clever enough to realise this, of course, but I'd be surprised if the vamps haven't noticed. The SK, possibly not, but he's not really something to be concerned with yet. But everyone else doesn't quite seem to have realised that it is a different game entirely from that perspective.
Make of that what you will. But it stands to reason that the (early) people actually voting for me/and all for Curiosity are more likely to be innocent.
For now.Also of note: We were apaprently one vote away from a nolynch, and yet noone made it, It would've been good for the vampires to end the day and kill me there and then, as well as being one vote away from a night phase. Maybe they weren't around to tip the balance, or maybe they were already there.
But currently
-Vamps will not kill me, I'm causing too much confusion. (Originally, I was aiming to get them to hit me in preference to a power role, but that plan got blown)
-Vamps will not take me as their own, I'm too much of a risk for lynching.
-I'm not the loon. If Curiosity does go after me - excellent - we still have a eat proof loon running around.
-I've played my part, and don't really care if I die or not. The odds were stacked heavily against us, particulary if people didn't own up to bitings (as has happened, and it's really too late by now to start with that, noone else will come forward, and given we've had at least two people bitten by now...), and so certain assumptions and risky strategies had to be used for us to even stand a chance, before we did nothing, and nolynched continually in our frustration at how long it's taking. (Losing our vigilante, not good, losing our mason, not good, that we've almost certainly lost one person to the vampire cause, and nearly another, and yet still do nothing... Criminal)
- Killing me may well be your best play now, due to the first point. Whatever happens, you need to decide _now_ if you trust me or not, if I am innocent, you can count on me being a team player regardless, if not... It's no good having me being a suspect on the sidelines.
