GameRager: Claiming vanilla town then asking for everyone to claim...seems very suspicious. Claiming vanilla town allows a scum to not claim a possibly used(by another) PR that another could maybe debunk and the full claim coupled with it is suspicious to a good degree(as I said).
I've been pushing for massclaims even before I claimed (which I only did so, along with the fullclaim, at L-1). You may say OK, the mass claim idea is suspicious, but what about "the coupled full claim" that is suspicious? SPF asked for the role and the flavor name, and after a brief disagreement on the implications of giving out the flavor name based on precedent from a previous game, I agreed to put it out. Seriously, what is suspicious about this? I'm pretty sure if I put myself in a "let's lynch these next" list, someone would say "that's suspicious!" which is already what I'm getting for the mass claims idea and even the full claim I was asked for...
GameRager: Thing is, if we are eliminated(through a mislynch/NK combo) then town loses that edge which could be used(if we were the last remaining town) to likely hit the last scum with ease/certainty.
Now that you put it this way, I don't think that's how this Mafia game will work. Your idea is a clever one that hasn't crossed my mind, I'll give you that, but if you are really town, the scum would off you sooner than later to prevent that from happening. Doesn't help that you just flat out made this idea public, which means if this idea hasn't crossed scum's mind, now it does. The catch here is that if scum doesn't off you tonight, or the next night, your being alive will be very suspicious. To me, the most important question mark is that regarding you and blotunga. Sure, there's RFG, nmillar and LOLchan (and myself if you really want me to, though I don't agree with it), but let's face it: do you have an idea who precisely to lynch out of those three (four)? Do we just use random.org and hope for the best, or what?
Or we could solve the question marks about you and blotunga, which have well defined targets that have been analyzed over and over again.
