Newbie 1769: Happy New Year! (Post-Game)

When to claim

Sometimes claiming might not be ideal. If you're a PR, you'll most likely be nightkilled/roleblocked (if there's one) next night. If you're a VT, you'll help scum narrow down the list of PRs.

There are some situations where you should claim:

• When you're at L-1 and someone declares intent.
• When you got an incriminating result (or you feel you got).
• When you feel there's no reason to not claim anymore.
• When town agrees on a massclaim.

I disagree. I think there are times in which one should claim when they are at L2/1 even before someone declares intent. I'll expand on that later.

[Creature]

And if you declare intent, then it's sorta like "you would've hammered", even if it's pretty early.

[ThinkBig]

We have more than 14 days. No reason to hammer yet.

feels too calculated to me

Two players yet have to post...

[schadd_]

we also definitely have less than 14 days

[Raskolnikov]

Thinkbig if you're actually town and just happened to check the thread via phone 10 minutes after I voted and overreacted based on an l-2 because you were on mobile and couldn't read and claimed because you didnt have time to respond because you weren't home yet and you also have your own personal theory that people should claim at l-2 without intent I've never heard about, I think I hate both you and my luck.

what, the claim?

(lack of quotes sometimes makes it unclear what people are talking about but i'm a chronic shitposter/hyperposter at times so i'm kind of a hypocrite here)

we also definitely have less than 14 days

splitting hairs, the point is valid even if TB is scum because

In my games, I tend to overreact to pressure and votes. Especially when I am at L-2 with 14 days left in the DP.

i saw your guys' point giga and rask, i have been a little screwy with my lynching... Meh, not gonna put at L-1 without a reason

[Raskolnikov]

UNVOTE:

This isn't going to be as easy as it looked.

[GAYreenHamster]

how so rask?

[gigabyteTroubadour]

Gamma Emerald thought I was an alt of his because I compared myself to a statue of Vladimir Lenin

but other than that no

i saw your guys' point giga and rask, i have been a little screwy with my lynching... Meh, not gonna put at L-1 without a reason

i mean if you agree with our points that's fine but usually being a bit more open about that thought process helps your vote not look opportunistic

definitely on-board with not L-1ing people without reason though

@TB, you've played scum before right? Like alone (not in a hydra, there was that game with Kain Tepes but hydras are poop for meta)? i forgot tbh

what, the claim?

yuh. {claim before catching up} {assert against the grain that there can be reasons to claim at l-2} rubs me the wrong way

sure

[gigabyteTroubadour]

hmm...

that's actually a valid point

Noted giga, and thanks for the tip

[GAYreenHamster]

rip i put my comment in the quote XD

[Raskolnikov]

how so rask?

Thinkbig's statement makes me think I should meta him but I really can't be bothered atm, I hate meta diving especially d1.

You were going to put him l-1 without any reason or a scumread apparently, and one of my other townreads I'm not so sure on either.

Still need those two others to say something too

I had a slight reason for shadd_, but its been disproved so might as well...

UNVOTE: shadd_

[GAYreenHamster]

Ill be back, gtg have dinner

[gigabyteTroubadour]

you can't prove or disprove anything in a mafia game really gayreen

there's nothing wrong with having your own reads even if they go against the grain you know.... like it's fine you agree with our points but i feel like you're being a little too sheepy

like normally i'd be scumreading you for that but A: I kind of know your play as scum and it doesn't feel like it here, and B: your pointing out the soft was just really derptown

Ill be back, gtg have dinner

aight~

[Creature]

1 me, 3 townreads, 1 townlean, 2 iffy, 2 unexistent

[schadd_]

~

[gigabyteTroubadour]

am i unexistent

i'm actually curious as to what those reads are if you don't mind sharing them

specifically the townlean
