See this Gorf? "Confirmed NA" stuff right here. We can look at Gheb's play based off the info he has now and had back then that we didn't know about!It's possible that I have stopped the kill. In fact, it's the most likely scenario because I have roleblocked no less than 4 players toNight - Gorf, DSH, Acrostic and Scary. Scary flipping town would not clear HBW via DSH's claim.

Gheb said:Vote Detective Sherlock Hound
FoS Hardbody Warrior
Like say whaaaaaaaaaaaaat
votes for DSH and FoS' Hardbody Warrior?
Does that fit with his NAs?
You bet it does, he blocked DSH. So far so good.
We now have the first concrete inclination that Gheb is town. Not proof, but an incliniation. Gheb had an option to block someone and blocked one of his reads and then followed up on no NKill by voting for one of his reads that was roleblocked.
We can also look at the other people in that list and say "is this solely because of DSH, or were the others under suspicion". In this case it's pretty obvious that Gorf, DSH, Acrostic, and Scary are all pretty disgusting slots at the end of D1 so concrete inclination that Gheb is town #2. There's absolutely no reason for scum to say "I'm going to roleblock these 4 ****ty hiding roles and not touch the giant in-your-face roles that could easily control town".
"But what if he's lyyyyyyyyyyiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing"
Then you lynch him
You know how stupid it is to claim to have roleblocked four freaking people?
Do you know what happens if Gheb says "I roleblocked player X, Y, Z, and Suzie Q" and none of them were actually roleblocked? If DSH came in and said "Uh, I wasn't roleblocked and have confirmation because I'm a role that can't be roleblocked and have confirmed town-available info saying my ability succeeded and no one will counterclaim" it's kill Gheb immediately. Complete and total wastebasket play. The only way he could do this is if he claimed to have roleblocked two people on the lynch and then two scummates that would be like "oh no my role didn't work". Super risky because if Gheb flipped a mafia sage then the other two would be outed. Plus the fact that a sage can only VB these:
DSH, Scary, Vult, HBW, MC, Nabe
As a sage, he could VB Scary and DSH. But Acrostic and Gorf weren't on there, so even if he was n0'd with quick or something like that there's no way he could have Sage'd them.
But let's say Gheb flips scum. A scum gadgeteer, Ryu's assumption of his role given that he RBed 4 people, would be pretty useful for a lot of things.
But would he RB his teammate? Doubtful. That'd be piss poor play, there'd be other things he could do. We could observe his posts and determine exactly who he could have targeted by what numbers. From this, we can determine who he DIDN'T choose.
Last post numbersPandoras Box – Choose one of the abilities below. Then choose 3, 4, or 5. Any player with whos last post is evenly divisible by the number you selected will be targeted. You can be affected by this ability. You cannot use the same chosen ability two nights in a row.
Silence- Target player cannot use any active ability that Night and will effectively be roleblocked (as this is simultaneous, your ability still goes through even if you are roleblocked).

So Gheb is not a gadgeteer or is lying through his teeth.
heavy
Let's look at all the roles that can, ya know, roleblock. As Gheb has described.
Gadgeteer - NOPE, DOES NOT COMPUTE. You can't have a gadgeteer and any other role.
Time Mage - Nuh uh. "Stop" does the trick but it also voteblocks them.. and is for the NEXT phase.
Sage - sure thing, but only two of his 4 he claims to have roleblocked
Blue Mage - Sure, but you can ONLY BE A BLUE MAGE. He could maybe get ONE crazy double role block on two people depending on how gova works the role... but for this case NOPE.
Alchemist - I could see this if Gorf and Acrostic both RBed him and Gheb was a sage. That'd send out 4 RBs. But WTF at that mechanic-wise. Who sends out a RB while getting roleblocked and then duplicating that RB on the original RBers? Regardless this'd be super easy to test.
In conclusion, Gheb we're gonna need you to explain a bit here.
