I would say shoot Hal Juchero.

He's already Hated, so if he's town we can't bring him to LYLO.

I'd let him claim if he wants to, if he actually show up, but it's all your decision regardless.

3: the entire point of reeve’s character is that he sabotages the company by workong with the protagonists

1. In FF6 I was a scum player and I had a full list of fakeclaims. Were I scum now and I saw a fakeclaim list that had Cait Sith but did not have Reeve I would never ever claim Cait Sith because it would be the stupidest thing in the world to do.

2. The entire point of the Cait Sith character is to call into question the morality of sending a robot to die when it can function on its own.

Additionally Reeve doesn't spend all of his time at the controls. Each Cait Sith model is autonomous so even someone were to buy your hilariously bullshit gotcha, the characters we have aren't mutually exclusive.

3. Reeve literally repeatedly betrays the party and holds an old lady at gunpoint to sabotage them.

Point 1 is contradicted by point 2, you’re saying you know why I’m calling you out then arguing that actually the callout makes no sense, but fine, maybe CPig interpreted the game wrong, whatever.

Reeve spends a bunch of the game in jail for helping the party after changing motivations from sabotage to actual help and allowing the party to spy on shinra, he starts out evil then ends up good.

I'm saying you're calling me out because you're a scumbo with Reeve as a fakeclaim. You've seen me out myself as Cait Sith with a vig and now you're trying to get me out of the game.

When I flip town you'll drop back and be like "Oh maybe they're consistent?"

This is where 2 comes in. Since the characters aren't mutually exclusive, this is how you're planning to get out of your bullshit callout. You clearly know enough about the game to be able to pull that, I just don't think you counted on me seeing through it so quickly.

And finally, sure, he spends half the game evil and half the game good. But given how you just tried to call me out, I'm inclined to put you in the evil half for now.

Right, CPig is going to give me reeve as my fakeclaim and give you cait sith as a role? That’s even dumber than the reverse, there’s multiple cait siths and they’re all demonstrably controlled by reeve. Why the hell would I, immediately after telling everyone that I’m a jailer with a pgo materia, get into a claimwar with a vig posing no threat to me?

ok I still gotta spreadsheet everything but I don't buy Gene's claim. Not all those kills can be town and it seems way too convenient that B- allegedly picked GeneX to bodyguard. More like, GeneX got the Counter materia, and knew he could get away with blaming his death on that. All Gene's bragging now about how great it is that his super "docblocker" ability gets to go untouched sounds like a LOT of posturing to establish a townie narrative.

Plus his trying to push a flavor gotcha on Nat! If Gene knows enough flavour to know that Reeve possibly conflicts as a claim with Cait Sith, he should know that they would also work fine as separate characters.

But you know what I think?

Reeve as an ambiguous Shinra would make a great fakeclaim to have in the Shinra pool.

I don't see the town motivation for GeneX claiming what he did. Under zero pressure (and with zero useful results) he claims jailor, an excellent power role. It's also convenient that he claims his Counter is a permanent PGO that will kill all night visitors (including investigators).

Gaspy is still scummy, but I think he can wait another day.

Not to mention his tunneled case on you being so heavily constructed yesterday, to justify hanging onto that flimsy D1 content. I didnt like some of the filler in there either, like talking about your "hypocrisy" in pulling up LMac about some Shine talk that doesn't even have anything to do with this game.

In contrast to that overly constructed case, his main case on tithin was just "his tone is off", which he's also attempted to say for me but he mixes up whether it's my tone or my content that's off. Oh wait, he claims it just changed, where my content was fine D1 but he thinks I'm just fake casing him. On D2 somehow my tone allegedly gets all better but now my content is off. But even if my content was off, if my tone was sincere why is he saying he even doubts me when I said I'm not just looking for reasons to call him scummy, if anything I'm always looking for an excuse to put it off?

Gaspy is still my TOP scum suspect once this Gene stuff is sorted.

If you honestly don't get why I fullclaimed a protective/roleblock role after the 2nd night in a row where we've had less deaths than there are nominal killing roles:

N1: Gulag gets ganked (twice, if flavor matters here, which I assume it does), tithin gets shot. Moat claims tithin and flips town vig; KB claims one shot on gulag. Shinra presumably murdered Gulag, too, and that leaves the turks' kill missing; I protected/blocked Pod, so I suspect it went there.

N2: Little Mac, Pod, and b- are dead; KB claims mac, Nat 20 claims Pod, I PGO b-. Two kills are missing this time; I block/protect bif, so unless she's on one team and was shot by the other (or there's even more roleblocks flying around), at least one of KB/Nat 20 is lying.

You are assuming so many things here. You're assuming that some other protective role didn't block the kill N1 (also that the Turks could kill N1). You're assuming that Bif is scum in this post (since it looks like you're blaming the lack of kill on blocking her). You're assuming your PGO didn't hit a BP target (which is lol because scum almost certainly have BP powers in this game).

You're also asking us to trust that you A) took the Counter materia and B) that it provides unlimited PGO (which is an awful convenient claim for scum).

I get the serious sense that you have outside information that you aren't sharing with us.

Is your argument that you blocked a NK, so nobody else can have an ability that blocks a NK?

For all you know, Bif could be scum sent to do the NK AND the target of another NK. We have two town killing roles flipped already, so someone claiming a kill doesn't make them less likely to be lynched. But they're doing it anyway.

If you're town, I still don't see why you'd out yourself as a jailor. You've told us nothing useful in a game with this many players/power roles.

As town, showing off his claim would mean scum despair at his super invincible PGO status I guess? but it'd stop them from blowing themselves up on him.

As scum, he gets to scare off investigations or rival faction kills, AND lunches, cause who could dare doubt the super helpful invincible jailer?!?!?!

which, btw, sounds like a load of crap that it's not a oneshot PGO.

My argument is that clearing up what happened at night in a situation where I'm a jailor who is untouchable at night is a good play to make, because keeping my role secret does not actually help anyone, whereas saying what I can do and what I know does

The idea is that people knowing where the b- death came from and that I roleblocked/doctored someone on a night with potentially 2 missing kills is a good thing. The reason doctors and roleblockers generally don't claim on nights with less-than-expected kills is, speaking from experience, because they get shot immediately for it; I'm not at risk of that unless one of the two scumteams already down a member or two think being blown away by a pgo is great fun.
