Doctor isn't as strong as a role as you may think. It is a strong role, but if it can get a scum lynch in the bag Day 1 we have a LOT of information early on in the game. Stalling this and not claiming and leaving this information until it's 2 v 5 or whatever is worse.
This is just wrong. In this situation E2.7 has come out looking pretty scummy. Throwing out a doctor claim to me seems like he was fed that line by his scum buddy in an attempt to get something out of his lynch. The ship is sinking might as well find any other roles.-

Think your analysis of the situation is wrong here, but OK. We can wait and stall more.In post 203, IcemanCh wrote:But, right now the train is firmly on E2.7 so there is NO NEED to counter claim.-

I'm just going to throw my two cents in here regarding CCs, if I were doctor, I would claim. That being said, there is no "correct" way to play mafia, so, just decide whether you are going to CC or not.
That being said, I obviously now hard claim not doctor, if it was not clear before this point.I've only made one good post, and don't you dare accuse me of doing it again.-

How so? Several of us have moved the vote of temporarily but, I know that I'll probably end up putting my vote back on E2.7.-

Fair enough. Doubt we'll get that CC, odds seem slim.In post 201, Bins wrote:I'm only saying claim if you ARE a doctor. Don't CC if you can't actual prove the claim as false.-

I was rereading and came across this again. On the one hand, this kind of comes off as a really forced attempt to hint that they may be a power role, like it could be scum trying to set up a later claim. On the other hand, 2.7 hasn't pointed this post out at all to back up their claim. I kind of think that scum 2.7 would be much more likely to go back to this post in an attempt to prove their claim, yet 2.7 hasn't, which kind of sort of leads me to believe that this was just a reckless stream of conscious town post... Does anyone else have any thoughts about this post?In post 98, 2 718281828459 wrote:I wish that there was a designated person who had an IC-like role but was not playing, therefore you could ask questions that might reveal your role ("So I found 2 townies as Cop, should I reveal now or later?" or "Should I, as scum, pretend to be a Tracker to try and win this LyLo?") without compromising the game.-

Skygazer: I made a post before about 2.7's 98, it does seem an odd statement, especially seeing that scum does have someone to talk to and possible guide them.
Currently I'm still scum lean on 2.7 as well. Hypothetically if someone CC doc, we lynch 2.7, and the CC doc is alive tomorrow then day 2 is wasted on WIFOM? Maybe it's not a good play, but isn't that a possible scenario were scum could buss (am i using that right?) their partner in an effort to make it to lylo? Seeing as there is no guarantee that we even have a doc in set-up.

Nah. If we lynch one scum on D1/D2 we delay LyLo by a lot. Scum planning on a quick LyLo wouldn't bus without prompt from town. They'd want two misslynches on D1/D2.In post 209, nonny wrote:Skygazer: I made a post before about 2.7's 98, it does seem an odd statement, especially seeing that scum does have someone to talk to and possible guide them.

Meaning if 2.7 is scum fakeclaiming doc, their partner has hopped off his wagon or was never on it. We get one scum today we end up in LyLo on D4, assuming it's all misslynches from there.-

If 2.7 had another scum player to talk to then why would he make a post about wishing he had another more informed player to talk to about advice? I'm kind of thinking 98 is more indicative of town at this point.In post 209, nonny wrote:Skygazer: I made a post before about 2.7's 98, it does seem an odd statement, especially seeing that scum does have someone to talk to and possible guide them.-

By itself, yes it can be seen that way. Initial impression was more just talking to talk and therefore neutral, at least that's how I read it.In post 215, Skygazer wrote:

I agree with Woo. If I had just claimed and people were still questioning it I would stick around and interact with them. The whole "not lynching without a CC" thing from 2.8 bugs the shit out of me as well. And doc is one of the easiest claims to fake, someone dies and he just claims that scum is leaving him alive for wifom and that he picked someone else to protect the night before explaining away the nk.

This is what hit me hardest. Like the only way that this line of thought makes any sense is if he were a cop. I just went through this myself in a game that just ended. I was the cop who on day 2 had to try and figure out if there was another pr while trying to solve the game with the info I had.In post 161, 2 718281828459 wrote:Then it was all survival instinct -- it is one thing to lynch a townie, but to lynch one of only 2 (or maybe even only 1) power roles?
If he was a cop he wouldn't even mention the fact that there may only be 1 PR because he would be 100% outing himself as that cop.
It makes even less sense with the doc claim, and if it don't make dollars it don't make cents.-

Most of the posts you guys wrote wereaboutme and nottome, although I may have missed stuff.
My reads have not really changed anyway, I still think nonny is town (or at least not scum enough for all those votes) and brass is scum.. I have no replacement.Retired Account
After 2 years (almost exactly!) of inactivity I am giving MafiaScum a second chance...
Nah. I'm gone. Again.
