If you were town why would you be aiming for a claim? Especially on day one. And what good would a claim do? I could claim doctor, vig, bus driver, seer and no one could doubt me because there's no evidence either way.

In so small a game, can town be sure we have anyone to protect those specials?
didnt yall talk over town specials in the scum clubhouse?

if there are 3 scum then we should have a few good specials for balance.

That doesn't answer the question bey. How would it benefit town to have a claim so early? I'll admit that I am a greenie little idiot, but I don't think you have an answer to that.

depending on the role claimed there can be a counter claim. now or in a day or two. i wasnt angling for a claim. but i was cautioning against dropping the hammer on someone who doesnt have a chance to claim

You weren't angling for a claim?

The voice of reason. at 1 vote to lynch we need to wait for deadlock to role claim before anyone drops the hammer.

You took him to the brink because that is what brings a claim. I still want to know how that is good for town.

because it puts him on the hotseat. til you get to one away it could still change easily. I was looking for a response and the one i got made me suspect him less. I cautioned against the hammer cuz having a special for one night is better than having one for 0 noghts.

but im done answering your questions demi. I think you are scum and talking with you wont help the town.

Ooh, intrigue! Demi's third comment was definitely quite the slip of the tongue, but it's also true that three has been the scumcount in most of our past games here, certainly the first two games plus my first Deadwood.

bey's "not angling for a claim" contradiction is shady too. I might just keep my vote on him and chalk it up to instinct.

bey, why did you say you weren't angling for a claim and then say you took him to the brink because that's what brings a claim?

Nope, this is way too suspicious bey.

You tried to force me to claim.

Because.....why? If I was scum I was in the clear to claim anything. Counterclaims notwithstanding.

Then you said that you weren't trying to force a claim, only to take me to the brink. The brink to force a claim.

And you still haven't answered Demi's and my question; why is forcing a claim good for town on the first day?

And you just saying that Demi is scum because she is asking you questions is suspicious too.

unvote; vote beyelzu.

I am sure she is scum so answering her questions is bad for the town. It occurd to me that our scum could be newbs or out of contact with eachother and that i shouldnt feed them info.

ill answer yours or livs though.

and i did answer the question. a cop with one view is bnetter than a dead cop with 0 views

The thing is, I only asked one question, how does getting a claim out there benefit town? I didn't know if you were scum or not when I first asked it. I still don't know. But my gut instinct was to question it and my vote still stands.

i am not going to engage with you on the possible number of specials such speculation can only hurt the town. especially since i think you are scum. and i explained how a claim can help or why we should leave an oppurtunity for a claim.

I didn't ask you to speculate on the number of specials, no one knows that and it would be a waste of time. I only asked how trying to out a special would benefit the town.

I am not satisfied with your answer, but I would like to hear from other more experienced members what they think about this.

asking someone to claim isnt outing a special.

I could give a shit if you are satisfied with my answer.

Good, I'm glad it's not personal. I would hate to think that I contributed to you having a bad night at work. I was trying to think of how to express that without making an assumption. :optimist:

This doesn't make any sense at all. Ask everyone here to claim and they will all claim vanilla town. Vanilla town because they are, scum because, well, duh and specials because on day one who wants a target on their back. Especially if they haven't had a chance to use their skill.

I see absolutely no sense is trying to force a claim. Unless you're scum in which case it makes perfect sense.

Yeah bey I think demi has got you on this. You are looking quite suspicious. Why would you push Deadlokd to claim? A special claim this early is no benefit to the town. I am not asking why you warned no one to hammer him, I am wondering why you put the L-1 vote on him in the first place. Your only explanation was that it was to get him to claim, but there is no advantage toward forcing a random player to make a claim. And now you are being very evasive in your answers.

unvote; vote bey

because most of the time when you get to one vote to go you get lynched. i figured you would be lynched but in case you had a claim i wanted to make sure you had a chance to make it. if you are a special and you get to one vote away. you claim. i was doing the proper thing.

furthermore sometimes scum flail during their claiming and that can provide info.
