I don't think we should push for futher details today, though (unless there is a counterclaim of course).

I think this is a really odd thing to say. If there's a real Susan, of course they should claim. I don't think the role implies any particular power, and could be strong or weak, for all we know. Susan was obviously a Pevensie, but far and away the least pivotal to the plot. Frankly, I'd have believed a VT Susan claim every bit as much.kikuchiyo wrote:To be clear:
I ultimately realize it is each players right to make up their own minds in regards to counterclaiming, but if manho is fakeclaiming, I don't think the real Susan should come forward. If I am not mistaken, Susan was the older girl, which would make her more likely to have vig and/or investigative powers(I think the young one would be the healer/protector). Therefore, if manho is lieing, the real Susan already has a guilty investigation to work with(manho) and can claim at a later time as necessary after they have had some time to work. If Susan turns up dead, we lynch manho. If manho is Susan, then that will play out in its own way.
I agree with this completely. If there's a real Susan out there, please counter.dybeck wrote:I think this is a really odd thing to say. If there's a real Susan, of course they should claim.

And we'd have a guaranteed scum caught - which is kinda the point of the game...
Why don't we just have anyone with a power role claim? You can't honestly be this dense, can you? If manho is Susan Pevensie, then we don't want scum to know what she can do. It produces a protective layer of wifom for her to work behind.HackerHuck wrote:I'm not sure I understand the logic behind a partial claim.

I'd be quite suspicious of a vanilla Susan myself.dybeck wrote:

I guess I must be really dense. How does WIFOM help the town and why wouldn't the scum kill him regardless of what he can do?kikuchiyo wrote:Why don't we just have anyone with a power role claim?

Hypothetically, lets say manho is Susan. Let's say Susan is a power role. Let's say manho says "I'm doc". Now scum can be fairly confident that manho can be killed. Thus they most likely submit "NK: Manho."HackerHuck wrote:I guess I must be really dense. How does WIFOM help the town and why wouldn't the scum kill him regardless of what he can do?
As far as waiting for a counterclaim, I suspect that we won't be seeing any Rumblebuffin VT counterclaims.Narninian wrote: I'd be quite suspicious of a vanilla Susan myself.

Vote: Starbuck
We should wait for sufficient time for a counterclaim before the hammer vote though.
Waiting for a counterclaim for Susan of course, not rumblebuffin. I actually agree with you on bv310 and that is why I had a vote on him, but forcing a third claim today might help scum more than it would help town. Choosing between a Vanilla townie tertiary character, and an uncontested Susan claim (power role to boot) seems like we have little choice.MadCrawdad wrote:As far as waiting for a counterclaim, I suspect that we won't be seeing any Rumblebuffin VT counterclaims.Narninian wrote: I'd be quite suspicious of a vanilla Susan myself.

While I'm willing to hammer Starbuck by deadline, to ensure a lynch, I encourage folks to take another look at bv310. The guy has:
1. Jumped on the 'L-3 is bad' immediately after Starbuck ->opportunistic
2. Immediately backed off 'L-3 is bad' when Starbuck caught heat for it ->wishy-washy
3. Avoids answering direct questions from multiple players
4. Admittedly votes Starbuck because he 'trusts dybeck' ->following
Maybe if we were in two minds about whether to still lynch Manho despite the character claim, a full roleclaim would help make our minds up. Personally, the character claim is enough for me. I'd rather not feed mafia any more info than we already have. Susan may well be a power role, but not a textbook doc or cop claim, so could be something extremely useful or extremely not-very-useful.HackerHuck wrote:I'm not sure I understand the logic behind a partial claim.

I kinda get your point. But a counterclaimed manho lynch gives us 100% chance of getting scum today or tomorrow. Whilst I'm extremely happy with a Starbuck lynch, even I'll admit that it can't possibly be a 100% surety without some rock solid proof. And I foresee that a Starbuck mislynch would be, frankly, a disaster.Kikuchiyo wrote:Dybeck and PZ: How many games have you played where one scum is lynched day 1 and town wins? It is certainly not an overwhelming majority imo. If manho isn't Susan and Susan exists(which we have no reason to doubt at this time), then we already have one scum caught and the real Susan knows it. Either she counterclaims later with possible night action results, or she counterclaims now possibly jeapordizing her ability to work at night. I'd rather her stay hidden for now. If she turns up dead then we auto lynch manho. There is really little benefit to outingher other than lynching scum on day 1. I don't believe this is utterly necessary as the town win condition encompasses much more than one single correct lynch. Anyhow, its not our decision. In short, if manho is fakeclaiming then he is already caught. Lynching him today may give scum enough information to cripple town's night abilities. We have enough information to lynch. Let's do it.
