Coming back to this as I re-read. I said Hal was in a position to gain something if he fake claimed, not that he was scum because Merk was voting him. Your representation of what I said isn't even remotely close to what I said. In fact it seems to completely be quoted out of context because I explained in a previous post what Hal would stand to gain by fake claiming:

Edited for brevity:

Those two posts are making very different points. Either Hal was claiming in the hopes of surviving the day and being forgotten about, which I agree is a thing that often happens, or he was claiming because pressure was on him. There's no reason to bring up the fact that "a confirmed scum killing cop is voting you" unless you're trying to make a point with it. A point which doesn't make a lot of sense, since merk hadn't used his investigate on Hal.

Dude, when Hal first said he was a Death Miller I had to look it up. I didn't know what the gently caress. I was really torn between voting for the guy I thought was scum and voting for the guy that was getting in the way of the game.

And Hal totally did overtake yesterday. How much case work got done after his claim? How many reads did people drop on anyone not named Hal? All it did was obstruct us.
Plenty happened yesterday, some of it has already been brought up again today. If you were upset about it overtaking the game, why didn't you try to do more? You hitched a vote to capps on PM's case, which looks like you dropped your own previous case, and then bailed on all of it 2 hours later as far as I can tell.

In what way was Hal getting in the way of the game?

I like rasc's points on Rarity, but more to the point, I don't like Rarity's case on Capps. Rarity was going after things that are annoying about Capps, which while that could just be bad town casing, seems more "scum looking for an easy target"

Rarity also threw my name into the wind when I very vaguely claimed what seems to be an utterly common gameplay mechanic amongst us. Those two powers, or whatever.

Well I apparently had a conversation with you during my night action so you should. Your flavour is a lanky man in a white suit with a buzzcut.

The only other possibility is someone has a role where they can pretend to be someone else.

The lanky man asked me if I knew a local restaurant, I said that I didn't and he said he wasn't from around here. Then in an addendum PM from Little Mac I was told the man identified himself as Prop. My night action seems to have worked as intended, as far as I can tell.

Yuming already claimed Jason Bourne. I'm also not sure how good links based on the honesty of claims made by someone who just flipped scum are (especially when he claimed both roles after yuming). Hal claimed that his death miller status worked by the fact that while he was Verbal Kint he would flip Keyser Soze so would appear scum:

Hal Incandenza posted:

My PM just says I am Verbal but that I will flip Keyzer
Let's ignore the fact they're the same person so that doesn't make sense and look at his flip.

Little Mac posted:

Hal Incandenza aka Roger "Verbal" Kint, scum-aligned, has been eliminated Day 2.

Unless Little Mac hosed up here, Hal lied to us, so why believe his other claim? It seems likely to me that his claim of hider may have been a flavour-appropriate lie (he claimed the ability was named after a quote from the movie in one post) to cover an obviously scummy power or the fact scum don't have two powers. Hal himself claims this is his MO:

Hal Incandenza posted:

This is what a Hal Fakeclaim looks like:
[click the link to read his quote I didn't think it was worth C&Ping it in here]

Full of detail and carefully crafted to fit flavor while also allowing me to continue to use the fakeclaim later, and only brought out when it made the most sense to do so.

So, um, Rarity is not full of poo poo. I guess.

So, I'm claiming, because why the hell not.

I am not a smart man.

I am SUCH a NOT smart man, I'm barely even vaguely aware of my actions, and I absolutely do not learn of what has transpired where I've gone, who I've seen, any of that. I'm totally blind.

Scum should be really glad I'm not on their side, because my flavor is hilarious and I'm having fun over here, but I'm useless as gently caress.

Given that yuming has already claimed Jason Bourne, so completely unrelated to Hal's flavour, what have you learned from this question? Who do you think is scum?

I've not been targeted at all as far as I know. It's just funny to me because I thought the encounter rarity described sounded sinister enough to I spent some time looking for characters from spy movies in white suits with buzz cuts to work out who it was. Turns out you were just an idiot.
