OK, watch my mind work, part two:

Consequently, if the order is ALWAYS Roleblock -> Bust, then (if Slimer did hit a Buster) a role reveal by Slimer isn't actually that bad an idea, the Busters can't touch him anyway and as long as the known Buster is kept alive then Slimer would be protected (we would know who he was so wouldn't lynch him) and if he told us the known Buster we would prevent them being lynched too.

OK, that's actually pretty clever.
+ It would identify that buster so we wouldn't be influenced by them.

Up until the serial killers kill Slimer, of course.

And Gazchap gave the reply:

Lulling us ghosts (and Slimer) into a false sense of security about the roleblock carried out last night, in the hope that it would make Slimer reveal himself thinking he could protect himself?
But then Kalmar says:

I don't think that's terribly likely to be honest. The GBs don't look to be in a very powerful position at the start of the game, numbers or powers wise, so they'd want to get on with knocking off ghosties both by influencing the lynch and daytime actions.
I'm not sure whether it'd be a good thing or not for Slimer to reveal at this stage. It's risky but also potentially a good gamble for us if he does.
I think it is possible he is trying to persuade people of the unliklihood of the GBs not acting and might be trying to gently push for a role reveal, but adds the 'I'm not sure' bit in to make it seem less like he is suggesting this is the best course of action.
When people repeat they now think it is a bad idea (The dearly departed A78i70807):

I thought it was a bloody terrible idea?
Kalmar still states its virtues:
Quote:
With Gazchap's addition, to sneakily keep them alive and in deadlock, it has merit.
Well, it is literally the only thing that I have noticed, and may be related to nothing and is probably just Kalmar genuinely thinking that it is the right thing to do, but it is all I have noticed and might be something to read over to help people make up their own minds. I had best go and read what Craster has written as everyone seems to think him likely and I haven't picked up on anything yet.
