I'm saying hat's "exploit" may not be such, and certainly wouldn't be if I was on the mafia team. That's really all I'm going to say for now.

damn, now you gave me something to think about right before I'm a headin' off to bed. What did I miscalculate?

Are you assuming all the copies are vanil' town? And perhaps the supporting cast are all power roles? In other words do you think we will doom the town power roles by mass claims?

Don't be so sure us town copies are plain vanil' ;)

... am I totally off?

Zero, you're acting irrationally. You need to think about your posts before hitting reply. Spurge makes a great point here, posting crazy is great cover for scum; in any other case I would call it deliberate but I have no idea.

Could you answer one of the questions I asked earlier - do you have any cases that are not based on what people think of you?

On Noctis:

Looks like he's posting now although it's still short. A vote purely based on lurking can't be justified and I'm not getting a scum read on what he does have.

Unvote

I like hat's point that there are only four possible claims in roughly even number, if the flavour is taken at face value. It makes it difficult for fakeclaims to avoid drawing attention at some point.

Just read through all the posts that occurred while I was sleeping (I wish the thread could be this active when I'm awake :() 

Firstly, the only reason I was really aiming at Noctis was because he wasn't posting, and he seems to be contributing now. For now, I'm going to

Unvote: Noctis

While I was reading the posts, my opinion of Zero swayed from "that has to be mafia, right?" to "that mistake is a little too big for a mafia-aligned player to make" - at the moment I don't feel strong enough either way for a town or mafia statement. First time I've ever seen someone apologise after a FoS too- anything going on there?

@Mario: You came out of nowhere and suddenly decided to announce mass-character claim? xD I don't have a problem with the idea anymore- maybe it'll be useful. Pinkie Pie

So many posts to read :G

Anyway, having read them all I am not liking what is going on with Zero at the moment. Like others said my opinion on his alignment changes almost post by post which is making it really hard to pin him down. I think I'll wait and see what happens after day 1 and see if his posting becomes more consistent in it's tells then.

As for Noctis, his more recent posts have really toned down the defensive-ness that was making me think mafia but for now I am going to let my vote stand and see what else he has to say before unvoting like everyone else.

And finally, I'll nameclaim as well although if the numbers weren't balanced at the beginning (a way FF could have attempted to thwart this idea) I can see a major problem with it.

Rainbow Dash

There is definately more than one person with each character which is part of the reason for the name claiming

I am a Rarity

I am Pinkie Pie.

Btw if we end up winning because of this it would hardly be such a great win. This exploit is pretty much unbreakable if everyone ends up claiming.

Although we would have to lynch a scum successfully. Still, I think conj is scum myself. He in my opinion is the best chance of a successful lynch.

Since hat agrees with me on that note I kind of feel better about him.

Soleron is the best townie feel I've right now.

I haven't yet to re-read the thread yet for those who are asking.

I haven't yet re-read the thread is what I meant.
