When is claiming expected/required

[gorckat]

Depends?

If a vanilla has screwed up day 1 and gotten everyone's lynch lust, why should they claim? Will people really back off saying, "Oh! They're vanilla!"

If you're talking themes or power roles, then only when claiming will yield more useful info to the town than their death alone will does it make sense.

People in general should argue their best to avoid lynch w/o claiming when possible- gets people and hopefully scum to commit more.
