"I don't expect anyone to trust me" "I fully expect to be tested on the claim. By tested I mean likely by lynch"

I guess you were answering prof, but it seems like you took my words and switched them to your perspective, and threw the middle line in for originality. I also can't say I agree with it, as I don't think a "normal player" would take the risk of fakeclaim as scum, and so I'd be more inclined to believe them.(barring a counterclaim of course) I am glad though that you don't seem to be inclined to lynch me at this point, because I'm dead set on nabbing scum again.

Given the right circumstances, i would definitely fakeclaim miller as scum before an investigation, as I've already proven in a previous round. However, I don't think I make a good target for a first night scan because as town I believe I'm a better scum kill target. Obviously everyone doesn't necessarily feel that way, so that's part of the reason why I claimed so early. There's no point in wasting a cop scan whether I'm night-killed or not. It also means the doctor can focus on a smaller pool. It affects other pro-town roles too, but there's a mess of WIFOM there unfortunately so it's not really even worth explaining.

This is true, though I was town there and iirc I pegged two scum with that.(btw it wasn't an act, I didn't read my PM until I actually said I did)

However, I'm not afraid of attention as scum either, but it is far far less purposeful.

Not an option. I would have liked it if that were the case as it would have confirmed me and my vote wouldn't be as important on the first day as on a later day, but I checked with Wonk prior to my claim(or it would have been in my first post instead) and he either realized that would be the case or got lucky. I'm not going to incur a loss of vote for the day.

It's strange that you ruled out Elena(Nathan I can understand given your previous reasoning) given your previous assurance that character does not equal aliance or role. Did you really do some research or was it gauging for reactions?

That being said, the name was pretty easy to figure out once I agreed it was one of three people IF you try to match character with role and alignment. However, I also think it's odd you didn't think I'd be penalized when at least two others assumed I did.

I don't expect/want radish to nameclaim, but if you were right about us earlier than he's Elena, and I'd wager someone more experienced in Uncharted could guess your character(given the nice ass comment) and then we'd know if this change in belief actually fits.

I think this is the main reason why people are suspicious of me at the moment, and I thought that it was obvious that it was actually a soft-claim (although I can't tell you if it's a claim of role, power or both). I can help you work out the situation, but I can't directly tell you what I was trying to imply with that statement:

- Look at Hatmosa's post, page 1; post 24

- Look at my (Radishhead)'s post, page 2; post 11

- Look at my (Radishhead)'s post, page 3; post 5

If you understand where I'm coming from after studying these posts, please don't directly comment on what you believe the situation to be (due to targetting etc), but instead respond with a statement of acknowledgement - thanks :)

It does seem pretty honest, given the order of the posts. It is troublesome that he missed a point by hat and prof's line of questioning at the time though. I would rather hear a ton from radish today and not give him so much flak for it.

Welcome, what do you make of the day so far?

I already kind of went over why I claimed so early, but I'm selfish and don't want to die at night either where I can't get a last word in. If mafia's smart they'll take me out anyway simply due to the threat of my voice, and moreso because the longer I'm alive the more will be confirmed as honest thoughts once I flip.

I don't like hat's way of defending me.
I really don't like the connection you're trying to draw from me to him though. First, I doubt a scum hat would be so contradictory in defending a hypothetical scum me. Second, you seem to be trying to avoid a hat lynch, yet setting up my lynch as insurance in case scum hat dies first.

So here's one for you, if hat flips mafia, you're being lynched after me.(preferably before but that's up to the masses) Short of an innocent scan from confirmed cop and a godfather flip that is, or something equally as good. And yes I'd wager both exist if it's a highly powered round, otherwise I'm likely the only counter to the cop.

Who's to say Chloe had to be very important though?(assuming that by paint a target you mean look like power, not look bad) Just because a character is important in the flavor doesn't mean they need to be in Mafia. In your hyopthetical situation, if someone else claimed Chloe I would obviously have to counterclaim and lie, knowing I'd be dead very soon, or come up with another claim quickly. There is no point in delaying a counter nameclaim.

The premise of the idea isn't too bad, but unless mafia can discuss during the day here it's far too coordinated. Even then, it would be too premature to set up a fakenameclaim. Additionally, the fact that I basically narrowed the field down to just two names would be horribly risky. Couple that with the miller claim it's just asking for a lynch when pretty much nothing was going on. A safelist for fakeclaims would alleviate many of the flaws I pointed out, but since alignment of the character doesn't equal alignment here, I'd say that's very unlikely.
