Rhjamiz, does the AN claim make you think he's town?
If so, why, if not, why did it make you change your vote?
That seems like a question that is pretty obviously answered by my vote swapping, man.

Then answer the followup? What part of a weakened watcher role seems like a town role? Even if arguably provable.

I posit that the role doesn't help us catch scum, so alignment is irrelevant for that role. It should not change the needle one way or the other. If you thought AN was scum before, what changed?
Help me understand the thought process.

I'm not inclined to vote for willie today because that "aha a scumslip?" post felt pretty genuine to me.

I mentioned it before, and in my post of reads, but he did the exact same "pile onto someone that looks like they might get a wagon going" thing on d2 of the DBZ game, at which point he was scum even though a couple days later he switched to town because of the weird rules, and then said something about us "going at it" even though I don't think I ever actually voted for him and was mostly focused on someone else those days?

She claimed an investigative power role. I tend to see those as town-aligned. If you're going to make the case that it's a scum role, make it.

It didn't do it, someone went on votefinder and manually set the misspelling of your name to an alias for me. I removed the alias because you can do that when logged in for yourself.

Rereading willie I feel pretty good about my vote. He made a bunch of non game related posts. Then a bandwagon vote on a joke post, then "I'd rather lynch a lurker" but never voted anyone else. Then "knowing scum have private chat is a scum slip" which unless he's a complete newbie is just like what

She claimed an investigative power role. I tend to see those as town-aligned. If you're going to make the case that it's a scum role, make it.

Ok, so watcher straight is a pretty alignment neutral role. It is super powerful for both town and scum. As town you can catch scum in a lie, or legit see the kill happen. Good Power. As scum it lets you figure out who has a role so you can use that knowledge to direct kills.
A watcher who just sees what role targetted a person is decidedly less powerful. It can still be used to catch someone in a lie, under much more specific circumstances, like at the end of the game full claim time for town. And for scum, it show that power roles exist so they know what to look out for. But the use on both sides is very limited.

This should not be considered an investigative powerrole because it will likely never drive a lynch, even under ideal circumstances. If you thought AN was scum before, this should not push the needle the other way in my opinion.

PS This is not me trying to get you to vote AN, I just want to see why you were so primed to jump off. It feels like this is the knee jerk reaction to a claim (almost any powerrole claim) on d1. As if its only cool to lynch a vanilla (town) on day 1. So, why is your Knee jerking?

Upon re-reading willie and the timing of his vote (nevermind that Anon didn't fix theirs until later), that sure does look bad. I thought the "scumslip?" post felt towny in my gut and was going off that for most of it.

This feels like you're over-complicating things. I already said; the role claimed sounded investigative at first blush, they have to provide results going into D2; liars would be lynched. Why shouldn't I prefer to lynch claimed vanillas over claimed power roles? One of those things seems far easier to catch out in a lie.
