i did load up another character named Bobby Chip to watch the aftermath, but given that,
- nobody even knew delaney was dead until i brought attention to his corpse
- nobody was out looking for me
i didn't think it would be an issue. as far as eavesdropping goes, there was nothing said that could benefit me
things i overhead during the investigation/funeral:
- people are traveling in pairs (i figured they would do so anyway to avoid further bushwhacking)
- the sheriffs know Clip Waster is Rick Pinot (they would have found that out anyway, since Clip Waster was known to use a shotgun and the suspicions on him were strong already)
- everybody wants Rick dead (this has been the case for some time)
as for "roleplaying not being rick", Clip Waster was a disguise. he let his beard grow out; he wallowed in dirt; he was unwashed, unkempt. he held a different posture, changed his voice significantly, had a totally different demeanor and personality. this, combined with the fact that they didn't even use Rick's real face on the wanted posters, gave me more than enough cause to further conceal my identity from a bunch of strangers who have seen one version of Rick's face in shit lighting a handful of times.
