420: I swear dude you're the only person here scumreading me solely on my claim, which again, is hilarious, given that you were the one who asked for it.
What would you do if you were told that you had to use a next-day janitor in order to get supposedly good abilities, and you found your passive was a 1-shot ascetic? Do you assume that your entire role is shit, or that the ascetic can actually be used for something?
I went through mental gymnastics when I got the role to get to the point of thinking that the ascetic could possibly be useful. It's not.
How does doing all this benefit me as scum?
And to answer your question, I have literally assumed things about my roles in past role madness games that were not true because of wishful thinking.
@Venmar: Then wtf do you think my actual negative is? Do you want me to flavourclaim in full to prove I'm not making this shit up? Furthermore, why would I softclaim a negative this bad all game and broadcast that I wasn't gonna use it, if that was my targeted ability (thus balancing the game around me being able to use it)?
There seem to be 5 different interpretations of wtf is actually going on. The problem is 4 of them make me scum and 1 of them makes me town. So fuck it, go with the majority?
Occam's Razor is that I'm not lying (I don't fakeclaim, never have) and I was legitimately given a shit role.
@Gamma: Yeah, by using it and then lynching someone, which is obviously not what I'm doing.
Also why the fuck would I force the town to waste tomorrow's lynch so I can pick up a 1-shot Jailkeep and be un-investigatable/un-saveable?
There is 0 reason for me to ever use this negative. I'm not going to clean a flip just so people who think I'm scum lying about having a janitor know I actually had a janitor all along.
Also, it would be idiotic for me to fakeclaim janitor as scum when I could easily just be counterclaimed by some random townie. That's ridiculous. Either you think I'm telling the truth, or I have the janitor and I'm scum. Janitor fakeclaim is horrific.
