And the fact that I have search abilities, and Grover said he did makes me think that at least the Illians are all searching, and clearly the Aiel have some sort of search ability and generally there is probably a lot of searching going on at night -- that is hinted but not spelled out in the ruleset but I think is an easy jump to make. So yeah, though any one search is unlikely to succeed, some are going to despite the odds.

I am Aiel. Vaimes has admitted to being Aiel. That means I know EXACTLY what ability he has: a one time per game, one target (not item) opportunity to steal something if that target actually has an item. We have no ability to know whether the target has an item or not ahead of time (unless someone told us). Point remains that our ability is very likely to fail. It's insanely unlikely that it would a) succeed AND b) succeed on someone about to be NK'd (which is the last chance to target them with the ability).

His admission of targeting Chief was a mistake. No reason to do it whether he's Light or Dark. Given what was going on, it's the kind of mistake that could be stumbled into by a noob. And one that can only mean he's Dark. There is virtually no other conclusion to draw from his action.
