here is the conundrum with roleclaiming. You don't want to provide the scum with more information then they already have, however you do want the town to know what you are. If you're unimportant and roleclaim, all I do is help the scum target the important people. Say you have 5 pro-town unknown people and you have a cop & doctor. If you roleclaim townie, all you did was tell the mafia they now have a 1/2 chance of killing an important role rather than a 2/5.

So using myself and the current situation as an example, while we already had a bunch of power roles make claims, maybe I'm more powerful than those already claimed, or maybe I have a protective ability. Does the scum want to take a shot at me? If I'm a useless townie (for example what if I was a 1 shot vig who got blocked), they wasted a night killing someone they could have easily handled later, while right now they have to deal town organizing a giant power strike with a confirmed unknown role. Currently, the bigger threat is to SAK, who is the only confirmed protective role.

so ultimately, roleclaiming can sometimes cause more harm than good. You never want to roleclaim townie (instead you should claim pro-town), but you also should never lie about your role.

It does.

I was the one who froze Seraphic, you know, having magic n' all. I can do stuff with my wand.  

@ dsister, if you did get the powers then I guess my theory is void >_>

It could easily have been me.  Falcon's role was public at that point and I protected him.  I doubt I'd get notified if my summon made a kill.  

elaborate, you got F-F's powers? can you then confrim what they are? why take so long to say if this is true? (didnt WoW say the PM's were sent some time ago?)

"I am a Summoner. My ability basically confers Paranoid Gun Nut status on a person for that night. If he is targeted by a killer then he lives and I die (along with the killer)."

your role claim ^

you say that it could have been you, HOW? you would have died if it was?

I have said it several times. 

Here right after WoW mentioned the forgotten PMs: http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/post.php?post=3046001&page=87&postnum=5 

Here is another time: http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/post.php?post=3046921&page=92&postnum=3 

I mentioned it a third time, but I don't think it is worth pulling up

I think I roleclaimed a bit better. If I were to summon monster to protect you and then you were targeted by a blocker or a medic then the ones that targeted you will die.
