I never claim I was a important role, just not an assassin. Also I just wouldn't play the blame game.
Now if you want my thoughts, I want shade dead, she knew for sure I was innocent. Everyone else didn't trust me, but she wanted my trust so I would eliminate her from suspects.
As to why I was kept alive I was keep around to be blamed for kills that I'm certain. the plan back fired because I wasn't lynch. it made emmie random kill an assassin
Pimpd didn't do a good job clearing himself, but he did say he wasn't it. The assassin is one of the ppl who said go with the lynch, look for it there and you have your suspects.
