I am in fact both new and bad at posting yes, but I maintain my point.

I want to hear more from my mason buddy Bif, actually. Relying on a meta read from a game four years ago seems a bit out of character for her, and she's usually got more to say even this early.

why waste your time on that?? someone said scum would get a big list of town PRs if they waited, so there's at least some merit for scum to kill Inf, but they wouldn't do that N1, cuz they'd get nothing

Inf's role can do nothing good for scum unless they keep him alive, Inf claiming makes it so if the scum want to risk getting information from their flip, they will likely get nothing

I think getting a big list of roles late in the game is probably not super helpful to scum (but may actually be useful to town.) if scum can ninja then the optimal result for them is probably getting ~2 town roles early enough to do something with that information. so maybe not N1 if they don't think any curious townies are going to snoop, but I can't imagine wanting to wait until endgame to ninja him.

if scum can't ninja (or I guess roleblock, although they've probably got better things to do with that) then they're probably just going to want to avoid Infinitum unless they decide he's lying. but it's a big risk for them, so unless they feel they've already eliminated all the good power roles they'd probably be better off aiming for someone else.

Was infi's claim objectively bad? Maybe...
Was it objectively cool? totes.

Also seeing some mason claims out there. Neat.

Anyhow, you can all rest easy... the super sleuth is back in town.

Really tempted to vote IA instead though.

I don't understand why the holy poopacy and taste thought that Inf's role claim would lead to scum rushing to kill Inf night 1.

I'm willing to believe that the holy poopacy explained it and I just can't parse the discussion, but I don't think taste has posted since?

One thing I like about your claim is that if you are town you are effectively VT with no benefits for town now so that's good.

i really don't follow this logic. i have no idea how long toalpaz's joke phase runs but individually neither of these make a lot of sense to me and together they seem to contradict each other. i dunno i'm going to have to think about the implications of claiming visits.

If there's one thing I've learned about Toalpaz, it's that they always act in contradictory, scummy-looking ways as town, and everyone just kinda shrugs at it because that's just how Toalpaz is.

maybe it's a stretch but the scenario that worries me most is if scum have a bunch of non-vanilla roles that let them make non lethal visits, then getting the fingerprints of multiple scum on Infinitum could be really really good for them. idk, maybe that would be too risky though.

How about we all agree to cross the Inf bridge when we get to it! I don’t think this conversation uncovers scum today.
