i am not a good enough player to make this work in towns favour and i don't want cops/docs dying to a misplaced hail of bullets. claiming is a problem also cause if scum have a redirector they just gunna feed townies into my fire, but i think its better than sitting on this info.

Pffft when I was once a death miller (a terrible thing really) I did pretty much what you did so I get that part. Assuming you aren't lying of course! There was a time long ago when I think death-miller was sort of a gambit thing but now they are so rare no one does that any more.

I'm really more upset that someone got bit by a dog

So here's why I'm suspicious, here.

Atomic Soda just made a death miller, PGO claim, right? So claiming death miller is fine and all, but then AS makes the PGO claim, which eliminates most potential benefits of the position (while also eliminating some negatives - a bus driver makes AS another night kill possibility)

But why mention BK and Mona like this? Because AS just outted BK and Mona if they are power roles. For no reason.

So I suspect there's some back end treachery going on here, and I don't know even to figure out the exact details, but something stinks a bit.

On that same line of thinking, AS probably lied about knowing BK and Mona are PRs.....?

i thought about claiming just death miller, but then i thought that could attract cops who i would immediately kill and that it would be better to full claim. like i said, i'm not confident i could make pgo work w/o it being a detriment to town.

my mention of bk and mona is obviously a joke which they can confirm. i owe them both a murder.

keane why did you vote me earlier, before i claimed? the possibility of a bus driver/redirector is a good reason to kill me today, but i'm not buying your case.

I find Sodas claim really weird. Although this could be some kind of chess game where AS is like 20 moves ahead.

haha i wish but no, i am not familiar with pgo and the wiki said claiming was the safer play so that's what i did

quote:

The ideal play for a PGO is to get targeted by the Mafia, while not being targeted by any Town power roles. However, safer play is to claim directly -- this keeps other Town power roles safe, but also ensures the Mafia will not target you. Note that by claiming, you are opening yourself up to potentially being policy lynched at some point during the game.

apparently this was a terrible error, sorry!

I voted you as a goof, but it looks like I made the right call.

Please explain how you think you would be an asset to town.

Doesn't seem like anyone is claiming to be an asset here. Voting AS is probably right, especially since the PGO can be weaponized by the scum if they have the right roles.

I guess it could be a really sneaky lynch-bomb trick or something

I think Monathin's behavior is a little weird around the claim. He's mentioned in the claim (which AS later says was just a joke), but he made two separate posts about how he believed the claim. The second post just struck me as too stuck on it.
