Somnus, imagine there was an actual N5 Cop, how do you suspect that goes?
More so if that someone is not familiar with Enchant. N5 is a strange choice as scum I guess, but still, I don't particularly like it.Meta this. Meta that. Meta Everything. Meta is not a good scum-hunting tool. PEOPLE CAN MANIPULATE THEIR META. Stop it. Stop. It. Now.-

Why would I do that friendo There is no jester in this set-up Besides, it wouldn’t be very good for my wincon to claim Jester What a wacky act of self-flagellation that would be Oooohhh big word alert, dictionary town population me
Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?-

Likely a fake claim.
I don't particularly like it.
VOTE: EnchantI don't put much stock in a page 2 claim, especially in this setup, but why would this be scum indicative? Like, is the thought that Enchant decided to fake-claim as mafia here thinking we'd all keep him around just for his alleged Night 5 result? I'm not being snarky here. I'm genuinely curious.
I meant to do my homework and look at if this is the kind of setup where mass-claim even matters at some point or if Day 1/2 PRs are considered more valuable than 4/5, but Youtube was beckoning and 1 video led to 14 and here we are.I townread Alianna.

I mean, yeah, if a Night 5 cop survived to Night 5 to use their power, they would become the most important PR in the game. I think the fact that the game isn't guaranteed to get to a Day 6, as well as the fact that it would require ridiculous amounts of scum incompetence or a whole bunch of doctor saves in a row to even get a N5 Cop to that point, makes it a pretty ineffective role.In post 50, BlueBloodedToffee wrote:Somnus, imagine there was an actual N5 Cop, how do you suspect that goes?

This read confuses me as well, how is NM's approach here ever alignment indicative? It's not like the words are exactly game relevant.In post 53, BlueBloodedToffee wrote:I'm town reading NM for posting words.
Which probably means he is scum.
Ali feels genuine I think. I lean town on the Enchant claim and don't understand why people think it's scummy. It makes Enchant commit to a roleclaim early for almost no obvious benefit. If he thinks he's probably going down on a given day he can't fake a guilty for instance.No matter what happens, I'll be right there with you.-

Good to know. Sometime within the next couple days, I want to take a quick skim through a handful of the previous games in this setup. I wasn't sure if this is one of those setups where mass-claim at some point tends to give town an advantage.In post 63, Gamma Emerald wrote:

I'm going to put my neck out on the line already and say this wagon is a bad idea. To the few of you who were just in Deputy Cultists, Enchant claimed his PR role on Day 1 in that game as well. Granted, it was known that there was exactly one Day 4 Governor, so it's not the exact same situation. But I'm hard opposed to this already.-

He could, sure. And we're probably treading into the deep waters of WIFOM and without knowing the ins and outs of how this setup tends to play out, my gut tells me that claiming on page 2 probably wasn't the best idea.
But since he did, does claiming Night 5 Cop as mafia seem like a +EV play here? Do you think he discussed this in a PT with 2 hypothetically buddies pre-game as a good idea or just decided to like...wing it as mafia out of boredom as soon as the game started?-
