Because he might be bodyguard.

And if he IS bodyguard then he is the only one who will allow our confirmed Mason Cop (YOU) to survive an extra day.

But whether he IS or IS NOT bodyguard the fact that he MIGHT be means that him being alive tonight will have a side effect of allowing Knightz effect to NOT be roleblocked so someone can actually CONFIRM THAT ITS A THING THAT EXISTS.

I already EXPLAINED THIS.

1a) Ben is bodyguard. Scum either has to kill him or allow him to protect you, and you survive. Knightz gets roleblocked again so we learn nothing about him, but you live an extra day making the day of 5 easier to solve.

1b) Ben is bodyguard. Scum ROLEBLOCKS Ben so they can kill you. Knightz is NOT roleblocked, this will allow someone to receive his damn clothes and push Knightz from the "probably town" to "definitely" town pile.

2) Ben is NOT bodyguard, he's scum. See 1b. Scum has to PRETEND to roleblock him so they can kill you. In this scenario Knightz is not roleblocked so again someone will be able to confirm to have received his groovy duds.

I already SAID all this and it is the logical truth of the situation.

The other thing to consider is Ben's play with Lea. We know scum has at MOST 2 people alive. If Ben is scum then Lea is 100% town. There is a chance that both are town, but there is a 0% chance that we don't have a bodyguard OR a bulletproof. So does a SCUM ben pull the "bulletproof counter" card to trade 1 for 1 with town BP Lea? I'd say probably not, which is something today that makes him more likely to be town.

And YEAH, that would mean he's also an idiot who decided not to use his bodyguard ability at any point, but there's been a lot of "idiot" going around so that's something I have to assume is possible.
