Shaft.ed, my point is that there really
were
no other options available to originality.
A doc claim would have been nonsense, since his target died, as would a townie claim, since he had a night action.
A cop claim would have been countered immediately, while roleblocker claims are notoriously bad claims, since they prove nothing about alignment, since mafia roleblockers are at least as common as protown ones.
It would have been wildly improbable, especially having had one non-standard role, if any other exotic roles had been present.
After being backed into a corner by being caught, his only claim with the remotest chance of success was vigilante. Countering AlyG with a "you're lying" post would have seemed to me like a terrible idea - originality was considered far scummier than AlyG yesterday (by everyone except me, at least), and if I'd been him, I wouldn't have thought it would have had any chance of success. AlyG had no reason to claim at that point, had he been scum.
It just seems to me like a desperate claim from someone that had no other option. I know I'm banging over old ground again but, sorry, I'm so sure I'm right.
If I voted anyone other than originality, it would be purely for the reason he used the word "antecessor", which is cool
Eeny. Meeny. Miney. Vote.
