Lifthrasil: For example I don't see how a backup cop would offset the false reads of a cop due to Miller and Godfather. A backup cop would get exactly the same false reads as the original cop, after all.
It doesn't change the reads, it's insurance against cop getting killed revealing over incorrect info.
That was the whole point of Bookwyrm's role in the asylum game - he was supposed to get bad info, reveal, and then have to play around it without fatally wounding town in the process. Maybe I'm just more susceptible to the claim having specifically designed a game with this type of handicap / twist to assumptions in mind, IDK.
JoeSapphire: [cristi's claim] I was going to say it's well done, but it's not all that well done if I'm the only one that's convinced by it.
....
Apparently no one pays attention.
yogsloth: What up people.

I'd say I'd be disappointed if you weren't Town Bulletproof Berzerker, but that actually happens to be my role, so I find your claim suspicious.
yogsloth: Aha, well, there you go.
I guess having actually read the game provides some sort of advantage.
Hasn't helped us so far. So jury is still out on that theory.
adaliabooks: bler... I hope you've finished making your liquorice hat, because if your not cristi's buddy I'll eat it.
I don't think I've ever seen someone put so much effort into derailing a wagon and protecting someone as you have into defending cristi.
And believe me, I've put a lot of effort into protecting people in the past (as town and scum, so I know what I'm talking about).
I particularly like the way you are so casual about. You never seem to actually say you find cristi to be town, but you have low key defended her in one way or another all day.. you've even voted her, but
all to quickly jumped off when she claimed.
You would certainly know more about how to play as mafia than I. In twelve or so games I've only drawn the short straw twice. So your advice is well taken for future games.
But, alas, the licorice hat was for HSL, not cristi. I made no hat-related promises regarding cristi that I can recall, but if I'm mistaken please feel free to show otherwise.
In terms of substance, I don't think personally I'm derailing it, and have said I would vote her to get a lynch as I recall. I just really would prefer to lynch you, and this post is exactly why. Way over-exaggerated. And I've defended a number of folks. So yes, this one is casually because she's not particularly a town read, I just think all the arguments leading up to her claim were crap (aside from that she went far enough D1 she needed sorting D2).
For one, I'm not the only one who got off as I recall it, and am still willing to vote her, and for two, how long exactly should I have waited before getting off a claim for discussion/consideration, in your opinion, for it to be townie?
But look, if she does flip scum - and since this is the direction we're clearly going, I hope she does - you can rub it in my face D3 and push me and maybe I can defend and maybe I can't. That's fine. If it comes to it I don't mind trading 1 for 1 at this stage in the game. That's still a win.
But ...gun to my head I still think she doesn't, even if she probably is the play from here.
