It's not at all uncommon if you have a small number of main characters in an established story that at least one of them will be scum exactly to prevent 4 or more people to flavour claim and immediately become confirmed town.

Maybe they're all town here, but it is really not a strong argument for someone being town that they have a PC as flavour.

Well, I'm one of the main playable characters and already part of the story.

3 empty votes on me close to deadline.

For the record, last game the playable characters in the story events were actual players in the (Mafia) game.

But I guess I'm the only one here who played FF2.

If you want to quickly turbo me for claiming my flavor in response to enough empty votes to put me at/near vote lead 1 hour away from lynch I guess go for it?

Goddammit Tobbs. :cripes:

Like if you're town all you have to do is shut up at this point and you would unlikely to be lynched, but here you go spouting exposition like an idiot :cripes:

I'm fine with voting any of the vote leaders but stick I guess.

I've seen Tobbs make some weird calls as town, so not sure this most recent thing is scummy, but who knows.

Why not stick? :colbert:

I don't know about this early claim business either, I can sympathize with doing that poo poo early as town if I'm getting peeved at somebody calling me scummy. Plus there was the incident from last game where we know he flavor claimed super early, and look how that went...

IllegallySober posted:

On a quick re-read (and it was pretty quick since there's not a lot there) apart from the unpressured flavor claim, I don't see a lot I have an issue with.

Nobody's immediately counter-claimed him and isn't Refia a pretty major character? I can't see that being a fake-claim he was given if she is.

I'm leaning a dumb move, but probably town.

This though, I don't like too much. Refia is one of the major playable characters, but I would hope that the game isn't so blatantly flavor-solvable as to give us 4 confirmed towns just from that. It's a bit tacky.

No, that Moat's voting during the day event looks scummy on the surface but if you actually think about it logically it makes no sense for scum to try to do that.

Why wouldnt scum get a major character as fake flavor? It would be poor modding to not do that.

What is the town motivation to claim at -8? IS, you're at -7. Do you feel like you should claim right now, at this exact moment? Why or why not?

This has not been my experience in the last two FF games CPig ran.

FFI- all the Warriors of Light were the scum team and the Four Fiends (of which I was one) were 3P.

FF2- I don't know this game as well but Light was town and Boss Monsters were scum, as I recall.

I honestly don't remember if Pig used major characters for fake claims in previous FF's or not. But certainly the smart modding move is to do so. So it's normally not a good reason to assume someone is town. I feel like I've said this before recently, but like if you are making Fantastic Four mafia, at least one, if not more, of the FF have to be fake scum claims. Same with Xmen mafia(and I think if we looked at those games, that would be the case, I don't fully remember)

It's not like being Refia gives me any powers, and obviously it doesn't confirm me as town since I'm 1 off the vote leader from 3 empty votes.

I don't know if we have enough people here to get any lynch done but I have no problem claiming flavor if needed and I also PM'd CPig and asked for a Wind job and a class change just in case I'm the vote so I can share the info.

Just wanted to make sure! (And also it was a good way to get us both a post since I was below CPig when I started and you still are :v:)

This feels weird to me - CL is basically admitting that he questioned me about an obvious jokevote so he could generate content. That sounds like something scum would do (as opposed to town, who would find actual suspicious stuff). If we weren't close to deadline I'd be pushing CL harder.

That said, we are, so:

Of the vote leaders, I think IS is posting like town trying to figure stuff out and I agree with the point about Moat trying to steer us the wrong way. ##vote Moat

Hasn't he flavor claimed King or something? He seemed pretty confident in it. I don't like that he advised us to immediately attack, given that he looked at the guide and left out the part where we meet another character there. It does seem to be deliberately misleading, and I don't remember, did he respond to that accusation?

It appears not.

The answer I was looking for was "Of course not." Like, you have zero motivation to claim right now. You're -7 to lynch! Why in the world would you just randomly, unprompted, throw out your flavor? Especially an hour out and needing 8 votes to be lynched.

A nervous scum not wanting the winds to change and land on him would, though. Especially because like no one was talking about the votes on him. The funny thing is he would have skated by just fine if he hadn't tried to beat the story to the press.
