1. Can you explain why you’d rather vote a null read over a scumread? Is it just because of the above claims about info?
2. Can you explain why you’d want to lim a claimed pr d1? What town purpose does that serve?
3. Can you explain why you want a full claim? What extra info does that give us (as town) that we can’t wait until tomorrow to find out?
I would like to preface this post by saying that I'm a bit upset because I was typing a lengthy reply and then my computer crashed. So I am just going to have to type it again, I guess.
1. Both info, and the fact that although Ice sounds
a little
scummy, it actually feels like their wagon is an engineered one. Like I actually believe there's about 60% chance that the wagon was carefully engineered by scum to get a mislim.
2. I absolutely don't want to lim Omi right now, you got me all wrong. I am voting them to apply pressure to get them to fullclaim. And why I want them to fullclaim is answered in point no. 3.
3. Let me explain it this way: earlier, maybe at different points in time, both you and me had OMIGRON at the bottom of our readlists. And both you and me, as well as I think 4 other players, thought it was smart to vote (or declare intent) OMI. This was for a reason, as back at that point we saw OMI as scummy, right? Now, I think that if OMI were scum, and they saw a declared intent to hammer, and they knew they'd failed to defend themselves, the only logical thing to do would be to claim PR. What a fantastic defense! This buys Scum!OMI at least one more day to be alive (whereas without the claim they would've probably been hammered already), and so the scumteam can get a free mislim, and a free NK. That's really wonderful for them. And the thing is, without a fullclaim, there's a 0% chance of counterclaiming. So without a fullclaim, Scum!Omi is safe. Let's, for the sake of argument, assume we are in the first column and the first row. That means town doc and town cop. The cop sees OMI's vague claim and assumes they are the doc. The doc sees OMI's claim and assumes they are the cop (or even the Town Tracker). This is a perfect trap that works out perfectly for Scum!OMI, because the only way to reveal him as scum is if BOTH other PRs claimed, which is extremely bad for town. And it's very unlikely they'd do so because they don't have any motivation to (how could they ever know OMI is lying?), and they don't want to die.
So yeah, I think it's a bit stupid to think tht just because OMI made a vague PR claim then we should believe him and let the matter rest, without AT LEAST asking for a full claim and seeing there's no CC.
