yeah, i'm unfamiliar with it.Rishi wrote:What I mean is how do we know that Chewbacca wasn't a safeclaim given to him by the mod? Your post didn't even address my question, because you just addressed why you believed the claim. Perhaps you were unfamiliar with the term "safeclaim."zoraster wrote:Well, with the deadline pressure coming, ZS is in a lot of trouble right now. He was almost lynched, and I don't know how many more times town is going to risk a no lynch at night.
My point is that were he scum, he might be likely to fake a power role to at least last another night. Since this is a theme game, he could even fake one that would be very unlikely to be counterclaimed.
Instead, he claimed an unimaginative Chewbaca vanilla townie. This may just be a lack of imagination on his part.
Last, if he were scum and close to being lynched, he might as well try and get a counterclaim or someone to at least softclaim his role and out someone.
So that's why my first reaction is to believe him.
Fakeclaiming a power role is kind of risky.
Fakeclaiming is risky? I don't see how it's any more risky than fakeclaiming town. Yes, you're more likely to get someone to counterclaim you, but even if they do counterclaim you, boom. you've identified for your teammates a power role. Maybe not a trade you'd take under ideal circumstances (depending on the power role), but certainly a trade you'll take when you're close to being lynched.
