Because I .1 had a powerrole, and he wanted to make sure I was dead. Roleblockers aren’t a cop, or doc, but they can do the job of both in the right hands. They’re a solid role, and worth the risk to get rid of, in my opinion. He probably thought he could get out of it. Maybe he even thought someone would say the things you’re saying now.
Why on earth would a previously cautious player like Thok do something so blatently reckless if he was town? He
wouldn’t
. He isn’t town.

If I believed that M4yhem1 were scum, why would I want people commenting on your roleclaim?
Because this is a team game. You might have been ‘sure,’ but someone else could have pointed out something you missed. Which might have saved you from making a mistake.
Why would you
not
want people commenting on M4y.1’s roleclaim? Don’t you trust the other players to make their own choices? Aren’t you interested in what they have to say? Isn’t getting other people’s reactions important?

[annoyed rant]I'd be more sympathetic to your comments about killing off discussion of your role if you didn't wait until two days before the deadline to roleclaim, and didn't precede it by no lynch, followed by OMGUS, with yet another no lynch when you voted, all the while going "There's no reason to vote me! None of the issues people have brought up have any value whatsoever!"[/annoyed rant]
Oh sure, blame me for that fiasco. There WAS no reason to vote me. I still don’t understand what the hell anyone on that bandwagon was thinking. I answered every point brought against me, I told the complete truth at every stage, but NOBODY WAS WILLING TO LISTEN. I’d like to see you do any better in such circumstances, Thok. I mean, C’mon! Al hasn’t even given a reason for voting old me yet, except for ‘he was acting scummy’. Is that a proper argument? Well, is it?
I didn’t claim till the last minute because I was praying somebody would see sense.
And why does no-lynch have to be a crime? Why would scum
ever
vote no lynch, when there are some many townies to go after instead? You think you are annoyed, Thok? Take a wild guess how I feel.
So, I’m fairly sure there were some scum on that wagon. You and Al, I think makes the most sense.

In addition, I'm amused by the way that you are throwing weasel words at me while trying to vote/bus your partner.
(Partially OMGUS, partially the observation that scum are more likely to groupthink on the issue on how to deal with me after I lynched M4yhem and they have more incentive to attack me then to defend me).
At least you agree that Al is scum.
I disbelieve your claim for two reasons, Thok.
1. Your role doesn’t match with ex-my’s role, and yet the way you worded it makes you sound like you would be one of a pair. Three roleblockers in one game seems unlikely. So does having two protown roleblockers. One scum roleblocker, one town roleblocker; now that I can see.
2. Didn’t you say at some point that you thought LML thought this was a vanilla only game? You acted at the time like you believed that also, but if you really had a power role, you would have known he was wrong.
PJ- TSQ was surely joking. That’s what I assumed, which is why I ignored him.
