Sure, Bif and AA.

I claimed VT because I always say and pretend to be vanilla town. Even town power roles pretend to be vanilla town while they're hiding from scum. I don't understand why it's considered a faux pas, the intent is implicit. Also I'm at -4, it's okay to think I'm scummy but lets play the day out folks.

Idk why that's supposed to be a gotcha. What's more likely, new player trying to mask their role by saying I'm crying and then later revealing actual role for no reason, or scum new player knowingly completely contradicting themselves for zero gain under nearly no pressure?

Basically....anidav may have to die

I'll meditate on it and see whether claiming VT early makes sense. It's a bus driver though, so why even care about protecting yourself.

while I understand the thrust of this point, lunch all liars I think is a reasonable call, I get the idea of pretending to be vt, but why claim VT then if, as busdriver, you're going to need to claim d2 anyway?

It's better to say nothing, because otherwise it obviously looks like a scumslip, as it does here.

If people really think I am scum and must die, I'm fine with that, the way my role works I'm more likely to accidentally self-drive myself into the NK anyway.

It doesn't look like a scumslip tho...scumslip is scum unknowingly saying something they shouldn't have. But there's no way scum just *forget* that they claimed vt twice

A lot of the why is explained by 'new player'

I also have another thing but I don't know what it actually is/what it would be used for. I'm told I can 'safely claim it', but it's not an ability. I suspect it may have something to do with a later day event, possibly.

Aside from being a Bionics Specialist. I'm a Trap Specialist. I don't know what this does, only that I may safely claim it. It might be a Hidden Factor that might allow a day event to go better, I don't actually loving know. All I know is I'm allowed to claim it.

I'm going to have such a huge laugh about this if due to my poor play style I've revealed another town power player later, this is like the second time.

Then again a bus drive away from yourself is an incredibly convenient role to claim for scum, because you aren't going to get NK'd.
