in re: claiming, i would ask: what benefit does it actually provide you? unless you think that the mafia all have strictly scummy powers, massclaiming probably won’t be super useful in helping us sort them out, but it does give them a ton of information for free. i think we should be thinking in terms of “why” rather than “why not” here.

also re rnp, i think it’s important to note that he’s not just a miller. he announces that he’s scum to EVERYONE who visits him, not just info roles, which is quite a bit sillier to have as scum than town imo.

i forgot to sign the quoted post, but these are both by skylar. i swear i’ll get the hang of this.

It feels like a lot of stuff has happened already, but I also agree that it's too early to know what to do or whom to vote for. BM how do you feel about the vote on Zori? (I think it was Ysabel that voted them, but I'd have to double check! Hungry brain!)

it was rari who voted there, iirc. i feel fine about it / believe that she's unsettled by seshas (which i sort of am as well, but maybe i'm being a bit more generous atm), and exactly the sort of early vote that rari would be pushing me to place right now if we were hydra'd lol.

It's a real severe disadvantage to have your role tell everyone and anyone that visits you that you're scum I feel like with something like that, it was better for RNP to just be upfront about it

Perhaps I missed something and need to reread, but could you explain why seshas is unsettling you?

What do people have against Cheren (RNP), anyway...!? >:O

I agree. I have come around to the stance that an RNP lynch should be off the table for today.

The cruelest game of them all.

pushing for early claims isn't really that great of a look and she's historically been against roleclaiming needlessly
it's kind of like ... my read on her is oscillatory right now and i'm just going to wait until more happens, i think. maybe she does believe that a claim could bring about confirmed town, but i'm alternating between that and "... but she probably understands how it could backfire" and then going ?_?. also thrown off by having had an extended conversation about it and her kind of ignoring the points brought up and ultimately saying

stand by my previous suggestion w/ the (large) caveat that probably noone ds certain they stopped a kill

she's assertive as both alignments, but as scum in ooc i thought she was even more given to like ... bulldozing through what other people were saying. so i can't tell if this is an example of that or not yet

I hope everyone is looking after themselves btw! ^^ My extreme hunger is in fact a low blood sugar so that explains a lot So I should probably eat that dinner real quick and take a break from reading the thrwad!

actually maybe this exchange deviates from ^ that pattern a bit:

disagree, i don't think this makes sense in a role madness setup tbh for basically the same reasons as discussed in ooc. i think they should stay hidden

Despite 3? doctors, I don't think there was a save
idk, I just think we should take the confirmed town instead of trying to get more heals
but it's definitely not surefire in a high power setup

@rari_teh i'm curious to hear what you think of this also

Society is just a mafia game where billionaires have successfully pocketed everyone but the left.

My apologies... that was, as the younger folks say "Too real"

requesting permission to pester him in telegram dm's bc that's the only chat i'm sure he has push notifications on for

I also think the claims were mostly unnecessary? sorry if I was unclear
I only was advocationg to claim if you're pretty sure that you can at least clear yourself and either clear or condemn someone else (Doctor, RBer in a low-power setup, or one that gets feedback from successes in some fashion?)
