something very off how the ‘doctor’ folded so easily, considering doctor is probably one of the worst roles to be open about

Infinitum does your role interact with marks in any way like Kash is saying

Town don’t know who town are hope this helps

Which is why I have a hard time believing that marking a person blocks a pro-town ability. If marking a person blocks pro-town roles against that person, how is marking suspicious people helpful to town? Even if the marks were only ever placed on scum, it would protect scum from being targeted by pro-town roles. It also seems to flatly contradict the flavor about people listening to marker roles. "Hey everyone, this person is suspicious! Now leave this person alone!"

Reasons marking can be bad: you mark people you think are suspicious. As a result of this marking of suspicious people, there are abilities that are pro town that can no longer target them because they are now marked as suspicious

What if there are pro town abilities that only work on people who are marked though?

Unless there's some aspect to inf's role that he hasn't mentioned no I don't see it, unless he's a scum doc which we know he's not or he would have saved his pal. I tend to think more like a mod than a player but theme's what's whats

For the record I don't think it's unreasonable to have a doc and bodyguard in a game with the possibility of multiple nks

It's inf play surrounding his claim that make me vote him not his claim itself

Sandwolf claimed 1 use BP/bodyguard, of course there's a loving doctor in the game with 2 killing roles come the gently caress on guys, no one even counterclaimed Inf

Claiming like he did was weird but otherwise please let's use common sense

There's no point you can remain anonymous and still vote inf

Like a cop, you find a reason to case the scum you cop don't just claim it

This is me just questioning moat's logic. Somb may not have made it that easy because it does say in the OP the focus isn't on night-action mafia, but town having just one bodyguard that's a 1 shot BP with 2 scum teams does sound light on protection roles. Wouldn't be shocked if the game had a doctor.

Inf was either frustrated town or he's trying some crazy gambit with their being a potential counter claim or being a scum doctor that is like "okay, gently caress it let's try it"

I have too, but not with a bodyguard who's also BP... It's not totally impossible, but especially before the Grandi flip, it should've given Inf way more pause back when he said that on D1 instead of wholehearted blind acceptance. That still seems weird as hell to me, and I still want to hear Inf try and explain what he was thinking in his own words.

Retro Futurist posted:

This is a good point, but of course, he could just be lying about being a doctor in the first place, and sticking to the established fakeclaim breadcrumb he'd worked out so he could be all "choc doc".

They say can be bad so it sounds like they're not sure, or trying to avoid having people get marked. I'd assume that there are pros/cons for both sides rather than it being solely a town or scum mechanic
