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 http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4227657

- Look at my (Radishhead)'s post, page 2; post 11 http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4227941

- Look at my (Radishhead)'s post, page 3; post 5 http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=4228418

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 :)

But there's always a secret to my attention seeking -doing and saying things so retarded (not always retarded though D:) that it provokes reactions and opinions. Which gives me and other pro towns a better read on players. Scum need something so blatantly contradictory to grasp on, and I'm always more than happy to provide the bait. And I'm not talking about who teams up with me and who throws suspicion on me. I could care less about that. I want genuine reactions so I can decide who is actively trying to scum hunt, and who are the actors.

... either that or I'm just drunk talking atm.

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.

Providing links for those of you like me that don't have pages set to 25 posts per :P

And as I understood it, the train of thought was more like:
Linkz claims miller -> radish thinks of a character that Linkz might be -> Wiki said character might fit as a miller -> okay radish believes for now

Well then, onslaught over. Much needed sleep(more like a nap :( ) begins. Looking forward to many, many posts to read(and maybe respond to while at work) tomorrow.

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.

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.
