Not if no one has actually made a valid attack on him. There is no point in claiming is no one has even accused you of being scum.

However, he is not at L-1 so this question is nothing more then a hypothetical. In the event he actually gets to L-1 I reserve the right to change my answer.
It's not my job to be right, it's my job to be convincing.

Unvote:, Vote: Porkens


Asking a player to claim on page 2 is one thing, asking them to claim even though no one has even offered a single valid attack is one thing as well, but an IC player putting a person at L-1 without backing his vote or even commenting on anything in the entire thread is... well... Another also.

So that's three reasons I think... or one... at least one.

Anyways Wolf has no reason to claim and you have no basis for asking him.

1. This is page 3.
2. There's nothing to attack at this point, why are you surprised that there haven't been any
valid
ones?
3. My status as an IC has nothing to do with how I choose to vote. I'm here to answer questions and play a supportive role in the development of new players.
4. I like to come out swinging.
5. He's at L-1, that's
the best
reason to ask him to claim.
6. You're playing both sides of the field with your previous post; "I reserve the right to change my answer."
7. Self-Voting is never pro-town, even in RVS. Why did you do it?

1) Still the same point.
2) Then there is no reason anyone should be forced to claim
3) Your status as an IC means you are held accountable for any stupid move I would otherwise forgive someone. Meaning you can't pull stuff like this and get away with it.
4) I like to win. i won't let rash actions get in the way of that.
5) He's at L-1 for no reason other then you want him to claim. Thusly by using that as the reason he should claim you have created a paradox... scum you broke the internet.
6) No, the question is situational. My answer in that post will not be the same in every situation. If for instance you had laid out a case when you put him at L-1 and showed evidence he was scummy, I would actually contemplate him claiming. However, ont he opposite scale by putting him at L-1 without a case, let alone an attack, there is no evidence he is scum in any way and thus no evidence he should claim. The question was loaded in a way and so I reserved my right to change my answer depending on the situation that came up. There is no "field", I am not playing either side much like you with this game.
7) ... And putting a guy at L-1 on page three for no reason is protown? No player does pro-town actions all the time it's impossible. If you want to argue what I did was anti-town go ahead, you will lose. But as far as it being pro-town, what random vote is?

This game isn't going to last very long I think...

1) Nope, one statement is accurate, the other (the one you said) is not.
2) If someone is at L-1, they should claim. Do you really say otherwise?
3) Accountable to you, let's be clear on that?
4) I don't think my action to put Wolf at L-1 is rash, at all.
5) I want him to claim because he's at L-1 regardless of who put him there. I want him to claim before he's hammered. Don't you?
6) Situational...so if someone else had put him at L-1, you might have hammered? Being at L-1 does not make him scummy, given, but the situation is what it is, and it dictates that he claim.
6b) HOW, exactly, am I playing both sides?
7) I have a reason to put him at L-1.
7b) Explain to me how self voting is protown.

1) Statement and point are two different things... reading is tech.
2) Yes. There is obviously something wrong with his wagon if he reached L-1 without a single attack against him. So in this case I cannot get behind his claim.
3) Sure why not.
4) Do you have any reasoning behind it? no? Then it's rash.
5) He won't be hammered becuase there is no reason to hammer him. Forcing him to claim is just a stupid point. Find reason to suspect him before asking him to claim.
6) ... I didn't say that at all... That wasn't even the question... Are you intentionally distorting facts or are you just this dense?
6b) No, you're not playing the game... That was a little confusing wasn't it.. my bad... Grammer is not my best subject.
7) No you don't. I checked the thread, there isn't one. If it's not in the thread, you don't have it.
7b) ... I never said it was... because it normally isn't... is this another misrepresentation from you because I have no other choice but to lable you as scum if you are doing this on purpose every time...

Also this trial by numbers thing is going to get old real fast...

1) Explain this semantic difference please.
2) You don't count votes as attacks?
4) I have reasoning.
5) Whether he is hammered oor not is...how did you put it..."hypothetical." But, if he is, information will be gained. Do you disagree? As to your question on this number: no, I don't think so.
6) I was asking a question, for you to answer.
6b) I disagree. I think I am, in fact, playing the game.
7) Not all strategy is reactionary.
8) ummm...

Yessir. However, I recommend using the quote button on the individual post you want to quote and then copy/pasting as necessary. This automatically put's in all the quote tags and any quotes-within-quotes stay intact!

If your other question is what you're trying to do, its because you want to put me in danger-zone so any misunderstanding will result in a poor town getting lynched, since I'm only 1 vote away.

I mean that in post 57 you said "I'm not

at this stage of the game."

But in post 63 you refer to my reason for
asking you to claim
as what is "obvious."

Meanwhile, you still haven't explained what you think my reasoning (for putting you at L-1) is.

Why are you throwing around bogus and obviously false attacks?
My attacks might be bogus, but I backed them up with reasons!
ou said you were new to mafia. And that you advocate LAL. So either you're advocating something without experience, or...
Indeed, I'm new to mafia, so yes, I'm advocating LAL with no experience whatsoever. What do you mean by or...?

That was not a OMGUS vote, I voted for you because of the same reasons on top.

Wow.

Things go fast here and it takes a bit to catch up and alt+tab over to the wiki to look up every new acronym I see.

I'm assuming based on content that L-1 and L-2 are lynch level required minus # votes.

I don't know how much I'm learning so far on who's scum or not, but it's damn interesting to learn how the game is played. And what experienced people expect is how it is supposed to be played. So, for now, since it doesn't look likely that Wolf is actually gonna get strung up (and I have no reason to think he should) I'm not going to unvote yet and continue to watch the logic argument at the L-1 level.

And, I'm going to bed.
I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, you can't prove anything.
