To finish this post, I'd like to say this: stop claiming. It's not necessary, you're not giving anything useful to the town by doing so, you're just giving scum a list of people they'd want to get rid of sooner rather than later. If they don't know what you can do, there's much less incentive for them to kill you and they'll have to rely on their instincts to find people to kill, which is riskier for them than it is for us town.
Agreed, especially with the current "claims:"
Oak being "Boneyard Brian" where, should he die,
roles will no longer be revealed on death.
And Jivvi being "Mad Mike" where he gets visited,
a bomb is primed, and if visited again, said visiting player gets killed.
Both of these roles seem... very bad to claim, especially so early in the game.
In the case of Oak, the defense probably was enough, and the role claim wasn't
entirely necessary (imo), plus, now that we know there (could be, don't know if any role claims are true or completely true) is a role that prevents us from seeing who is who after each death, then, should you die, the town will basically have nothing to go on in day sequences unless a cop, or some kind of investigative role reveal themselves.
Essentially, should you die, you have basically aided the Mafia in allowing more covert actions.
We will never know if a Mafia died or if a powerful town role died, or some form of third-party died. (unless it's only a one-night sort of scenario, which I assume by your wording, is not the case)
And Jivvi's "Mad Mike," although the claim (again, if it true) could prevent a town death through some visit, like a cop/vig/etc, neither the claim, nor the statements that essentially led up to this "claim" make much sense to have a claim.
Quote 1:
Lel also, for what it's worth, I was role blocked last night, either by Notty or a mafia blocker; I guess we may find out tonight.
Quote 2:
But just a hint for mafia; you may not want to see what happens if you target me again
First of all, the claim about a "roleblock" essentially came out of nowhere with no clear reason to even say that you were "roleblocked." (we don't even know if roleblocks are even told to the player who was roleblocked).
And like I said in my other post on my suspicion, you immediately jump from Notty/Mafia (noting there could be other roleblockers present) to singularly Mafia.
Both situations make... no sense to me, and I must question... why claim?
If everything up to that point was true, why claim? If you were some kind of town-sided bomb, you could have acted as perhaps a strong lure to bring out Mafia to attack, and thus, catch them in some kind of trap and allow the town to get an upper-hand. But instead, it feels like you're making essentially empty-threats, that serves to essentially "keep yourself alive." And still, this all comes about from... virtually nothing, at least as far as I can tell from reading back.
Either way, mafia missed their safe shot at me :3
And still it seems you only address 1 thing with your role: how the Mafia made a horrible mistake in "missing their safe shot at you..." Which still make less sense considering it has only been 1 Night, and thus, no one could really "miss a shot at you..." because, as you so claim, you needed at least 1 night to "prime your bomb."
Not to mention is claim comes after Oak's suspicion that there are roles that:
- Roles that require a hit to activate
Which, though not exact with your claim (requires a visit, which could well be a "hit" that you survive; we don't know) it's wording implies a similar aspect to your claim.
The reason it comes directly after Oak just seems strange... especially when,
Also, to settle the uncertainty that people have about my role
I believe I was basically the only person who really was questioning your alignment, and it was less about the role, and moreso just your general words and statements which did not make sense in most regard, which you've aptly avoided confronting through my other post about you by basically discussing other things and then randomly claiming your role (again, shortly after Oak... why then?, I must ask)
I know you've been busy with assignments and whatnot, but that doesn't seem to make up for such strange behavior. :/
I don't believe in your roleclaim; it makes no sense to claim, and everything prior that involves your "role" just seems like you're trying to "save yourself" and not actually beneficial in anyway to the town; it just makes the Mafia choose other players they wouldn't have otherwise.
All of my suspicions in my previous post still stand, as they have not been addressed.
You seem to be the most suspicious; I can see the possibility of the role existing, yes, but everything else just doesn't seem to fit.
