I'd at least consider being down if he'd claimed like survivor but this is shady
1- He actually didn't specify "town". He said "non-factional" which I get may have registered that way in the back of your mind, but the fact is scum could very well have personal abilities too.
2- This is the main point: Why would ANYONE make such a "shady" claim with absolutely no pressure on them? It's not like he was being wagoned or there was an investigation result on him. My thoughts are:
a- He's telling the truth and wants to be out of the game (with a win) ASAP
b- He is doing it for the memes and to get the reactions
c- He is baiting action unto himself. Now this last one has a widerange of possible motives, which does include being Scum with a harmful role, but it also includes being TOWN who has a weird role (and believe me I wouldn't put it past this mod to include a Disloyal PGO in his setup) or a traditional one (Commuter for instance) and is doing this to bait the scum kill (they would want to prevent him from using his acquired shots)
That's why I said I didn't want to talk about it earlier. It is totally NAI and it looks like a bluff, but in order to see it (and try to decide the motive behind it) you need to let it roll and observe from a distance.
Like, if I had a night action myself I would not have targeted Alcj with it tonight, because I am not sure if he is telling the truth, but I cannot in good faith support a lynch on someone who claimed that role so early on D1 and under no pressure before I can understand what's going on with him and/or around him.
