Ok, I'm just rereading everything, and
I was the only member of this game to stick up for Croc once he outed, I even was so scared that shch a PR char had outed, I offered him the opportunity to retract so Mafia got confused potentially or so that if he was Mafia he'd think twice before real Ani had to out.
Am I seeing this correctly? It seems like you were sticking up for Croc because he's Croc. You explicitly stated that even if he were mafia, you still would offer him the chance to retract his claim. This seems like you're trying to protect him, regardless of his affiliation. Could you plz explain this?
