not a bad idea, it's a top idea. those who are against it are people who have something to hide me thinks.

what are you on about every game of werewolf played thus far has been won by a mass claim.

Enough scum claim vanilla town, sure some of them might get tracked or watched but if they have access to the power role list it basically maps out who to target when and where.

And I agree werewolf tends to be 'won' on a mass claim, but it sucks the mystery out of the game for me and also screws with the naive people who start as a town and end up as a wolf because they claimed in like the first hour.

I am cool with people making format claims but claiming roles at this point only helps scum.

IF Gaspy and Beet are telling the truth, they have just narrowed down potential targets for scum to knock off at night.

Scum also knows now that there are Vanilla townies, which means they can hide behind vanilla town claims.

Please stop claiming roles on D1, it doesn't help town.

nah not if we all do it tomorrow, we put the squeeze on the scum and doctors know who to protect for night 2, cops who to investigate.

even if half the game claims vanilla, we've immediately limited the suspect pool to half of the players list, that's a great head start if there are investigative roles in play.

Also I know, just know that there is some kind of indecipherable logic behind the flavour and role alignments that Anidav is dying for us to figure out as the game goes on, and mass claiming would probably ruin any enjoyment he gets from this game tbh.

fine leave it to the flavour claims for today. if im alive tomorrow we can talk the mass claim.

I'm actually not totally unsympathetic to your "let's shake things up" justification Beet, it's just that even if massclaiming actual powers DID turn out to be a good idea, it'd probably be because the roles tipped enough in town's favor that we could just cheese the whole thing with some strategy like Follow The Cop and then it'd kind of be not as fun anymore.

Kind of like what Birdstrike was getting at, except I think Anidav actually would appreciate us getting all his flavor references.
