If you got banished you wouldn't have been able to share the results. I'd be glad for the two of us to be the candidates for the banishment because you're a traitor and I'm not. I think the others will see that.You spent yesterday throwing shade at me, if I had been banished you would be next after I flipped village. Edward was stirring the pot and would have been more likely to rattle any remaining wolves when you were banished. The trip wire proved my point, why the hell would I use it on someone I don't have a strong wolf lean for? That would make as much sense as me being your preferred choice but you saying you were going to vote for Countess.
If everyone could look at the above statement "I've just voted for who I thought was a wolf and didn't hang back to see where others were going either night, but then me being banished could only have helped the village last night as you, Countess, Edward and I were the ones with the question mark over us". If Friar was a villager how would their banishment have helped the village? It would have narrowed down the pool of suspects sure but so would banishing Edward (which we have done). So assuming Friar is a villager there is no difference between them and Edward being banished. However, thinking further on that it would've been worse if Friar was banished because he would be a villager with a prize versus Edward who didn't have a prize. We would have been losing a prize for almost no gain.
Now if you were a villager and you had a prize that could detect movement why in the name of all that is holy would you put in on me? There are two of us left in the three Lily voters and most people seemed to think that the Countess was telling the truth. What is there to gain from putting it on me? If you detected motion it would've been your word against mine as it is now, so why put it on me? If Countess is telling the truth (and I believe they are about there being a traitor on the lily voters) would it not have made more sense to try to detect motion on literally anyone else? One of the two of us would be lynched and if they were faithful then the other was going to be lynched. The village had nothing to gain from you detecting me.
You've just said there that I would be next after you "flipped village". So there would be no need for you to put a trip wire on me because in your mind I was going to be banished anyway. You'd put a trip wire on someone else to hopefully catch them doing something. You could have used it on anyone else, didn't have to be a wolf lean. You've put the trip wire on the one person in the game that was almost guaranteed to be banished if you flipped village. It would've been no benefit to the village because I'd be dead anyway. The confirmation would've been you flipping village, you wouldn't have needed a trip wire.
