I feel like if there are protection roles out there this is a good time to claim there is probably only 1 scum left.

OK I've thought about it and I think it's not a good idea to claim quite yet. The reason being is that we might be in a single-town-PR setup. If that's the case, it's a really bad trade for town. We get 1 confirmed town which is good but is a relatively small help at this point with 7 still alive. And that's basically all we get out of it, because both of the single-town-PR setups can't protect themselves so our PR gets NKed instantly. Our PRs can still claim if they get to L-1 and scum are in no position to counterclaim, so we would basically get absolutely nothing out of it. If we're setup B, for example, this would be disastrous.

If it's a double-PR setup, it's a little better, but still unnecessary. Again, what do we get out of it? We instantly get 2 conftown, but again if we L-1 either of them, they can just claim anyways.

In either situation, scum gets a lot of info. And right now there are no conftown in the game yet, so scum don't have any obvious NK targets. But we'd be giving them ones if we claimed.

If you have to claim, it's often better to claim 2 potential roles. For example, if you're Jailkeeper, a better claim would be "Jailkeeper or 1-shot BP" since that gives scum less info.

So Kash, your advice is really bad and scummy.

It's pretty unlikely that we have setup B thanks to the lack of NK, but it still doesn't make any sense to claim yet.

Then what was your purpose in rolefishing? Scum is indeed in a really bad spot this game which is why they're more likely to gambit.

This post right here makes it clear that you're aware of how anti-town pushing a claim right now is. So why the gently caress would you do so if you're town?

..? My post is pretty clear that claiming would be PRO town. Idk how you're trying to represent it as me thinking it is anti town. Just because I'm well aware that people would find the idea scummy doesn't mean it is isn't advantageous to town

You're contradicting yourself. If your rolefishing was pro-town, it'd make you look town, which is always desirable.

If there's some logical flaw in my assertion that rolefishing is anti-town at this point, please point it out. You tried to get people to claim, but you haven't explained WHY it's pro-town. I don't see it at all.

In the meantime, this just looks like a desperate scum pulling a "too scummy to be scum" gambit.

A call to claim, even if advantageous for town, is usually met with skepticism and resistance by town because it does give scum information. However if there is a doc in this setup, each town now has a 25% chance of hitting scum. Those odds are high and the scum player is forced to eliminate the doc or the confirmed town tonight which leads to the doc having a 50/50 chance of choosing the right target for their doc if they can self doc or repeat doc

There's only a 1/3 chance we have a doc. Maybe 40% if you eliminate setup B for being very unlikely. But then less than 40% since we had a no-kill night, meaning setup 1 or A are more likely than a doc setup. Either way, it's significantly less likely we have a doc than not, meaning claiming is bad more often than not.

It's interesting how your first post was "yes I agree about claiming" and then you switch to no and it makes me scum. Also, remind me why the odds are so low we have a doctor?

Yeah I thought about it and realised how terrible an idea it is.

Based purely on the setup, 1/3 will spawn Doctors, 2/3 will not. Pretty straightforward. The lack of NK makes setups 1 and A more likely because Jailer is twice as likely to prevent a NK as Doc and then BP helps too.

Kash, I mentioned Setup B 3 times before you claimed you didn't realise this: my original casing post, plus these 2 posts dedicated entirely to setup spec. How do you possibly miss this?

If this isn't a fakeclaim and it's just a weird Tracker claim, there's a 50/50 chance than YPM is Doc or Scum.

Or maybe there's something I'm not seeing but I can't see how that post could mean anything else.
