the disadvantage is that he could counter claim someone and if he claims, we lose that possibility.
there is NO advantage to him claiming now.
I can only think you're scum that got caught slinging craplogic.

I don't think you can just make up advantages so you can rebut those advantages and add your rebuttals as disadvantages.ChannelDelibird wrote:Finally!

Absolutely true. The presence of Blast-Ended Skrewts in the game will have alerted the scum to the fact that there are Harry Potter races in this game. Telling them another of the species in the game could help them figure out what flavour they could draw on when claiming.

Rebuttal: They've still got enough info
What? How? How do you know what info they do and don't have, and why would you possibly want to give them any more?
-scum might have been preparing a particular fake species claim that might match OP's species, allowing OP to catch scum later
Rebuttal: Scum will probably not claim OP's because that would be stupid.
Obviously not *after* an OP species claim, but that's the whole point! If OP *doesn't* species claim, then scum could get caught fakeclaiming his species. This is a clear advantage to not claiming.
-OP's *proven* ability is unlikely to be a scum power
-hence, OP is unlikely to be fake claiming (this probably should have been one point)
Rebuttal: not a disadvantage
It emphasises the other disadvantages, because it reduces the advantage - because the advantage would be determining if OP is town or scum, and the above suggests that OP is town regardless of species claim.
How have I been pretending to have reasons?ChannelDelibird wrote:I've explained my reasons fully and clearly, and your rebuttals have been found wanting. The only one pretending to have reasons is you - it's been made quite clear that there is no reason to want OP to make a species claim, and yet you still act like you're correct and that to disagree with you is somehow scummy. You've been caught trying to get information you don't need, and you've been blocking any attempts to explain yourself because you know you can't.
Confirm Vote: Empking. I can't imagine myself moving my vote today.
