I do think you're right though, because that paragraph was a huge leap of speculation based on absolutely nothing in the thread on Slaan's part, which just doesn't make sense at all unless you have information everyone else isn't privy too.
Ehh, I don't think NK speculation alone is scummy, I've done it as both alignments whenever there's a kill or results that I didn't expect. It's just that the number of kills predicted after only one death is a little odd.
