Rimp is too obvious. A real Great Horde archer would have taken him out or hanged him if it were another player.

Good question. What do you think about this?
I haven't looked closely at the replay yet. Theoretically, there could be the following options:
1) The journalist overslept
2) The journalist used a different action
3) He was blocked
4) He was caught on a role that was protected from being targeted or this role has natural protection from being targeted.
I think those are all the options.
Sincerely,
Gur
