I strongly disagree with that.
What if only a part of the scumteam chose the same number, while one went for a high number
Agree with that.
Magna + Trans is unlikely for instance. Either could be scum separately.
if somebody didn't get a card that has a pro-scum ability like ninja etc. claim it.
otherwise don't bother

Just seems unlikely. A majority of the cards give both alignments advantages that can outright win it for either side so I don't see a downside in trying.

Did you get 3 cards? If you got fewer than 3, you should ask the mod what the other ones were. You'd know those cards are in the game held by others.
I only got two of mine. So I am aware of one role that must be in the hands of those above me.
Yeah it says that I bid on another card and failed, I only got two
Ask the mod what your third bid was. Then tell us. Since you're the last in the bidding process, all you'll be stating is that the card you failed to get is in the game.

Abilities usefulness depends on the holder.

Not really? If you mean approach to the game in general, the thinking-aloud thing and trying to brute force through the game is something I do too. If you mean the massclaim idea, then yes I agree that that's a bad idea but Creature never really pushed for it, he just thought about it in the open.
1.) I too like thinking aloud (it gets me in trouble all of the time) and talking about all contingencies (I love setup talk) - but only so far - no roles or abilities, at all - balance, mechanics, excellent
2.) he didn't push for it, that's not what I find scummy (obviously because it's not there) - my aversion and SR comes from even suggesting the idea BECAUSE it could be a kind of a passive way to see if scum can get ANY information - someone who doesn't know better, someone who is excited that their queen is in play, even just 1 tiny thing, it could give the slightest bit of information up to scum, seemingly innocently enough, but it is something. "oh I wasn't ability-fishing I was just asking what ppl thought about mass-claiming, I didn't mean to cause 3 ppl to tell me 9 cards"
it's not like I'm reading it HARD that way, not even close, but it is on my radar as definitely possible - and not meaning to keep on about it either, I'm ready to move on, was just clarifying for you
I really don't think people are gullible enough to derpclaim their picks just because someone suggested a massclaim though...
but yeah i'm getting you now

actually if scum take a tracker to find PRs it has pro-town utility. dunno if anyone thought of this though
also if there were a way to find out exactly how many cards are missing, is it better to say so after people claimed missing cards or before?
i no longer strictly go by they/them and honestly prefer she/her but they/them's fine if you're used to it i guess

@giga, That's why I said everyone should claim how many missing cards they have, but not yet claim what they are. A structured massclaim is best but New Amsterdam and I have yet to work out details.
Eventually, we will get more info and fake claims become impossible.
