I believe kilm's claim. Since we had a gunsmith and a watcher, it seems we had some less common roles, and a one-shot vig fits in with that. If I were a one-shot vig, I would have never chosen to kill MBL on Day 1 though. Why didn't you wait until you had a better target later in the game, kilm? Why would you choose someone who had claimed doc? Did you believe MBL's claim of not-doc?
I have played with MBL before, I know how he plays. The one game I was in with him, he convinced people to have 3 mislynches, I have never seen anyone as manipulative as him in a game. It seemed to fit the bill that he would have unclaimed doc, so that he could claim something else in the game. The other game I was in with him, he had a similar playstyle, and claimed 3 different things, leading the townies, good experienced players down with him. Take a look at DOOM II and you will see what I mean. MBL is a very good player as scum, and the recanted claim seemed to fit the bill for him. Plus, it prevented the scum from playing the mean game of WIFOM with us, which they obviously intended to do.
My ideas on setup- I am inclined to beleive that we have a mafia team, prolly 2 scums and an SK. So three scummy people. Three scums + an SK is to much anti town power, and since we had three kills last night, we definitely have three killing powers. So we have at least 3 lying people that we need to lynch.
So, my ideas Off the mark is #1- he wasnt really against claiming, but alluded to the fact that he didnt want to be figured in with scum because he thought scum would claim townie, which in my experience, usually they do not. My second suspect would be superstring- kinda lurking around, not saying too much serious about anything. And then a tie at #3 between Nanook and Gorkat- the former because I just dont feel right about him and the latter for pretty much the same reasons.
I am inclined to agree that we should look at the voting record on MBL and see who really wanted him dead, because scum would defintely have wanted to get rid of him, and they would know he was not one of them, also we know they intended to try to get him lynched today with the whole WIFOM game, so I am inclined to think that is a good place to start. Also, I think we all should outline our top three suspects at this time, if we do lynch scum today, which we have to, it will give us info to go on.
