Erm not as such. The Cop-claim was a gambit, which didnt really work, although in a sense it did...
Although i am a little confused. Why would the scum, with 3 claimed power roles, decide to NK someone completely different? I mean, what circumstance could possibly facilitate that?
A Cop, Vig and Doc are a pretty strong set, and even with 1 of those claims as bogus, its still hard to see neither of the other two being killed. Now Xtoxm is totally confirmed, and i know im town. That leaves Oman, who im slightly more suspicious of now. Its possible that he chose to kill someone else, because killing a power role would spark some doubt about his claim.
THAT IS unless
someone hadnt read the game
.
I'm looking at Imat here, who's first post of the game is not overly-convincing.

I think we've found our last mafia member.

Again, I ask for a day, and you give me nothing. I thank you BM for your incredible Hunting prowess. Unfortunately you failed to notice one minor detail. Rey asked to be replaced during the night. So, even if Rey/I had a night ability, Rey had the chance to give any choice before leaving.
Get real. I actually thought that he requested replacement during the day, but if he did ask at the start of the night, do you really expect me to believe that hes selfish enough to send his night ability before quitting?
I dont think so kiddo.

Do you honestly think Mafia would be selfish enough to leave a replacement, who hadn't read, to decide the NK? Honestly, giving the choice would not be Selfish.
Thats not selfish. I know when i have a role with a night ability, its great fun deciding who to target. Part of the game rests in your hands, and you want to do something really good for your team. If you arent intending to play anymore, why would you send a nightchoice and then take the fun away from the replacing player. Ill check the timestamps if it makes you feel any better. The only other scenario is Oman-scum. What do you think of him from your reading?

But thats all a moot point because I Don't have a night ability. And with a claimed Cop, Vig, and Doc, I doubt all of them are telling the truth. I think that would be tweaked in Town's favor a bit much, but I've never played Cults.
The Cop-claim was a gambit to get me NKed. But the fact that the scum didnt know this, concerns me as to why i wasnt killed, or Oman wasnt killed.

The Vig (Xtoxm, I believe) specifically. Its all well and good that 2 groups happened to target the same person, but what were the odds of that. Here comes WIFOM: Why would Scum and Vig be interested in lynching the same player? Vig wants to oust Scum, Scum wants to kill off Power Roles. Its not often that Townies act SO Scummy that they are Vigged without a claim. In fact, BM, I hate to Meta, but why aren't you asking the Vig to get a claim from the intended target? Isn't that what you do?
Lol, loving the meta-use.
Yeh, you make a valid point. Why am i not pushing for claims before viggings?
2 reasons. Firstly, last night, the primary Vig choices were me and Oman, both of whom DID claim before we went into night.
Secondly, this game mechanic makes claiming rather a bad idea in general. It benefits the town firstly not to claim atall, and if we must claim, to claim fallaciously, with the intention of misleading scum (and hence, probably town too).
If you read the start of the game, this will be explained by Oman, and later on, me, in more detail.

So, can anyone explain to me how two groups of opposite alignments happened to target the same person?
coincidence i guess...
