Later on, after people have been lynched, you can refer back to all this malarkey to try to deduce who the actual scum is.

There are many ways to play mafia. The SA Community Mafia tends to emphasize certain things I hold in disdain, but a better player and mod than I once told me the importance of tone in making reads. There's a certain level of sincerity that's very hard to convincingly adopt as scum, and what comes out instead, especially early on, is a slight awkwardness that can be lost in "meta" or "jokephase." As I chose to apply this :crow: advice here, I take

Flavor claiming this early? And who the hell are you anyway?

to be reflective of a desire to put pressure on me re: OP's warning against flavor claims. It's jerky in tone, but I see two possible scenarios.

1) PM wanted to put low-effort heat on me and see what happened without *really* sticking her neck out. A vote covered in jokephase is easily walked away from later even if I got lynched.
2) PM thought she had a slam dunk and sincerely believed I was foolishly flavor claiming. She believed this because she is not a boat.

As covered earlier, scum are most likely subs, also a kind of boat. Again, I just thought this was funny from a hypersensitive Mafia standpoint.

and yet you are putting effort into defending yourself rather than scum hunting. If you're going to thunderdome put forward a case on why ypm or I are better lynch cases than yourself.

Dude, I agreed to the Thunderdome because it would have been horrible not to.

It seems like something you just threw out there as defense against PMYPM leading a very weak charge against you. It was very very overly sensitive of you and I really don't know why you would do it if you're town.

I'm sure you're scum and want to make sure town doesn't let you off the hook. YPM has his hangups with me so I included him for posterity

some people are really lovely at making up their own flavor and just go with what they mod tells them

then i call them out on it but before i get the chance to i am killed by a day vig and nobody actually watches pushing daises but me so no one realizes that guy claimed a bad guy and then i scream and shout but it doesn't matter because i am dead

If a one-off jokepost is absolutely irrefutable proof to you that I am not town, I'm just not sure what to tell you. Busting your rear end for a flavorclaim doesn't mean that I was SHOCKED to find out you were a loving boat in a game of BATTLESHIP MAFIA.

The scum characters often have a theme (proposed themes so far in this game: spaceships, submarines, not-a-ship-at all). If I was scum and wanted people to think I was town, I couldn't say the actual flavour of my role. They'd know I was scum as soon as they figured out the scum theme. To make them think I was town, I might claim that I am a boat, a real boat, a boat what floats. To make it sound convincing, I would come up with the name of a specific boat and say I was that boat. This could backfire if someone else is that specific boat.

When someone gets night killed, you may see them described as a bunch of question marks rather than what role they are. This usually has to do with scum trying to generate a safe flavour claim for themselves.

There are other reasons to flavour claim but this is the basic one.
