What bugs me about your claim is it comes towards the end of the chain of miller claims. That in of itself isn't suspicious but the fact that you aren't looking at the other miller claims for your vote is. If you're actually serious, why aren't you looking harder at the other millers? Do you seriously think there are 3 (I'm not counting TT here because there's no way in hell anyone could have taken that seriously)

Well, Cpig claimed first, and I'm not convinced he's lying. My role is Miller, so if he's a miller as well, then that probably indicates something funky with the setup. I mean, he could also be lying, but we've already demonstrated we have a dayvig as well. I'm not about to throw out the idea of a hilarious setup. I mean, the setup was said to be full of power roles, after all.

If I'm right, and we do have a ton of millers, his initial claim is pretty safe, unless the mafia somehow already knew that there were a ton of millers. I'm not going to add multiple layers of complexity to this right now, so its safe (for me) to assume that he's telling the truth. If he's not, we'll probably find out, which will dash all the other miller claims to pieces. Considering I'm one of the miller claims, well, obviously that means I'd be lying too, right?

Its easier for me to believe he's a miller after the other miller claims lining up with the fact that I'm a miller. It makes... sense, I guess.

And Apostate was a Hider. On the other hand I genuinely am vanilla, and it would be decidedly odd if I was the only one, so don't throw out the idea that at least some of them are lying just yet. In fact I think we should lynch someone who has claimed Miller today to test the water.

Scum can claim miller out of the blue for no reason even if there were absolutely none in the setup to begin with though! That's kind of the whole thing with miller claims, sometimes scum just do them because its convenient. If you're town, I guarantee either Pig or Illuen are scum because in a role heavy setting like this, no scum is dumb enough to pass up that kind of opportunity. It makes them effectively immune to cops excluding any extremely niche or specialty roles and it saves them the hassle of formulating an actual role-claim later if that ever becomes necessarily. There's absolutely no good reason for you to believe pig if you're telling the truth. At least one of the miller claims is scum and I still think its you, although I'd really like Pig to weigh in as well.

You see, this doesn't set right with me. Not that I don't believe you, but it seems odd to me that we'd have so many Millers and then have Vanilla. With the flavor of this game I can easily see a full powers game. Of course, at that point, it comes down to are you lying about being Vanilla or are some of the Millers lying. I know I'm not lying about being a Miller, so I have to look between the other people making the claim. I'm rusty, so I'm not going to accuse anyone, but it is definitely something we should be taking into consideration.

For what it is worth, I agree with whoever (I believe it was Gridlocked) pointed out that based on the roles we've been exposed so far (Nova and Azmodan), flavor does seem to factor into this game's role selection. I've been open in stating numerous times what my character is, and why I feel it makes sense that that particular character was given to a Miller. Why don't the other Millers share the flavor of their roles?

Ah, in that case I must've misread. Still, between Nova, my flavor, and what others have said RE: their role, it is firmly what I believe this point, which is why I'm so curious as to what flavor these other claimed millers have.

One person claimed they were Murky, I remember. I actually find that kind of suspicious, because it's the most obvious flavour for a Miller possible, but then again Nova was the most obvious Hider so :shrug:

:eng101: Zera could have been a hider as well due to being the other stealth character. Tyrande's ult (one of them) is also able to grant stealth to allies, thus could have been a good hider candidate. :eng101:

I belive Murky's claim of being bulletproof though; Murkeys ability to only be worth 0.25 of a kill and respawn instantly if his egg is alive is a good basis for bulletproof.

Is anyone else completely vanilla?

Because I don't believe this.

I think this is a game where everyone has some sort of role.

As usual, you're wrong. My role PM describes several things my character can do in the game, but then specifically tells me I can't do them. I'll provide specific wording for how it says so if that doesn't break the rule on posting your PM in the thread.

On the one hand, I don't believe you exactly that you're vanilla, but I can understand why you wouldn't want to put what you can do out there for scum to know. It is suspicious, but then I find c-pig very suspicious as well.

Apostate was Nexus-aligned. I am also Nexus-aligned, but I don't know who my teammates are and I have the Town win condition. I therefore feel safe in assuming that Nexus are the Town team and anybody who is not Nexus are the scum. If imgay was Nexus-aligned, he wouldn't think it was cool to kill a teammate. Thus: imgay must be scum or 3P.

##vote imgay

This is still a really weird justification for a vote and I don't like it. Not much else to say about random dayvig. But I can chalk it up to bad day 1 shenanigans.

Jedit posted:

Three points.

1) In promoting the passive lynching of lurkers TT is ducking the responsibility of having voted for them.

2) Voting for a lurker might conceivably push them into posting. If TT is scum then he knows if the bottom person is Town or not. If they're Town he as scum wouldn't want them to post more and get out of the danger zone.

3) It should be a given that Town need to hunt scum; encouraging us not to do so is anti-Town.

Note that I am not (yet) arguing that TT is scum because he's doing this. I'm saying that discouraging active pursuit of the scum is not a move we should be accepting at this time. We need content. What he's offering is weaker than even a policy lynch.

This logic train though derails it every time.

This is very much in line with the flavor of my role PM. So I believe you are nexus and a miller because that is a jake thing to do and also matches up with what we've seen so far.
