No, it was still a gamble for me. I mean, both options were still open: we could not have known whether you haven't protected Nessa already the Night after you protected Eomer (since of course, by then it was clear to us that Nessa was his dream, but we had to kill him first, the question was whether the Ranger a) already realised the same about Nessa now being "known innocent", b) would have protected her already, because it could have been assumed that we'd go after Eomer that Night anyway). So it still might have been that you'd be able to protect Nessa that Night. Personally, in the beginning, I was thinking that I would have preferred to kill you, because you have suspected me more and in fact, I thought it more likely at one point that Nessa will be protected. But in the end, two things have influenced my thoughts: even if you made a save, it wouldn't matter for the village, as you two still had to choose between me and LRH, and if you chose wrong, I would kill one person at Night (as I would know who was protected the last Night) and then simply win. Secondly (and a pity that this did not work out), I thought that if I targeted you and failed, it would be clear to you that it was me, because the probability of you or Nessa being protected was more or less the same; it was then a question of personal preferrence. Nessa suspected LRH more, you suspected me more. I thought that killing Nessa might make you think - at least a bit more - that it was LRH who'd want to do it more. It came down mostly to that.

Yes, "emerging from a game alongside Inzil victoriously and unscathed" has been officially put on my to-do list.
