I multi-quote tagged this as I was reading because it stood out. Obvious question was "what do you mean 'don't make me prove it'. You can prove it? Why wouldn't you prove it?" Etc, etc. Wtf.
And then I was going to say "I think I missed your point too."
Also looking forward to you calling it scummy whichever way I might come down.

I can prove I'm Town

And then here's the rub.
Claims like this just bug the hell out of me. I'm not saying that it's not
possible
for you to have a claim that both (1) proves you are Town and (2) would be a bad idea for you to claim right now. But they aren't exactly common. And we already have a PGO claim, a 1/2 Gunsmith claim (which has at least been semi-demonstrated), and a 1/2 Cop claim in this game.
I am a mechanics oriented player by nature. I like more information, not less with assurances it will all make sense later.

There are half a dozen roles off the top of my head which fit my soft. Stop digging into it, it's not pro-Town.
You are wrong here. It is completely reasonable and "pro-Town" to question a vague claim like this. What's the alternative? Take it on faith, because we'll totally understand when the time comes that you
do
have to claim (which isn't now, but apparently will totally be coming later.)
Again, it's possible, but wtf? This is like Old Man all over again. He had barely any pressure on him and came out with that IC claim, and of course when someone claims that you say "all right, just wait until he "proves" it. And then he did his little reversal...
I feel like if I had a role that could "prove" it was Town, and someone else claimed IC, it would have raised more than a few of my eyebrows. Even if you weren't technically an IC yourself, because a game can only have so many roles that can "prove" themselves Town.
Can you at least answer this, Pine, without blowing whatever secret you are trying to keep: Approximately how long should we have to wait for this?
In post 1371, Pine wrote:Besides..."I can prove it" technically doesn't have anything to do with the mechanics of my role. Suffice to say there *are* no mechanics to my role.
I really would prefer to just leave it at that. When I claim it all this will make sense.
I hope so. But, again, just how long do you think that might be?
I also don't understand why you said this in that spot. What did you have, 2 votes?
