Ok, well, I'm sure others have figured this out, but we should definitely not claim anything today. Well, anything else.

Voted Jack early and without reservations: faust, WCD
Expressed reticence but still voted Jack early: joth, Eddie
Expressed reticence but voted Jack eventually: Joseph
Explicitly against the Jack exile: EFHW, Jack
Didn’t express a sentiment but voted Jack eventually: Jimmmm
Didn’t express a sentiment, didn’t vote Jack: mathdude, shraeye, MiX

Looking at the day end, Joseph is the most obvious partner to me, which I guess gives gkrieg some town points.

Damn, if gk is telling the truth then we’re just SK hunting and this wagon analysis is considerably less useful. And if go is lying he’s scum so we’re still SK hunting. Unless gkrieg is the serial killer and he’s lying, which we do have to consider. But I think we can wait at least one night before we go he’s down that rabbit hole.

SK wouldn’t shoot Joseph though. Because killing the other faction off this early is bad for them.

Even (and dare I say especially) the towniest players could be the SK. How are we supposed to catch them?

I mean, if your SK test is “stayed under the radar” I think MiX and shraeye fit the bill. They both played D1 pretty nonconfrontational and stayed out of all the major drama, which is not really on-brand for either of them.

Ha! I suppose it's possible that gkrieg is the SK, yeah. This setup really hides mechanical information well.

How do we catch the SK? Well...I guess we just have to read D1 again.

Between vig, cop, and RB... whoever is still alive, we likely have a decent chance of finding SK in the next night or two.

It will be harder to trust claims tomorrow. The earlier we do then the more helpful they are.

No, they're equally hard. SK has a free bluff today, so.

Every day the SK is cumulatively more likely to kill a Weird Cop or RB. Not just on that day, but across all days.

Joth, what do you think about claiming now vs. claiming later?

I’m firmly on team Eddie/Joth now!

Yes, but they could've done it now, so we can't trust PR claims already.

claiming in general is not going to be that useful because of the information asymmetry... I think.

I don't know. I think I'm with MiX. Give our PRs one more night to work.

I kind of want gkrieg to be lying because it's such a cool fakeclaim. But if Joseph was the vig, goon!gkrieg would be better off staying quiet. Having spoken up now makes him a probable SK target.

gkrieg - How did you decide that giving us the information you had was worth dying for?

Unvote I guess.

Although I am less than happy about it.

Is it a good idea to reveal the other named Town people? Is that a thing? I can’t decide.

In theory it’s

1 SK
1 RB
1 Weird Cop
1 Gkrieg
4 VT

And if we reveal our other 2 buddies, then they can’t get body-snatched by a SK.

Maybe just the RB reveals? They are a lot less helpful if both Mafia are truly dead.

I just don’t want a body snatch to happen.

I feel like keeping gkrieg alive to use him as a shot is more helpful than killing him today.

Ehhhh…

I'm trying to make sense out of this post.
- What would be the benefit to town of a claim? Why can't you decide?
- What is a body snatch?

I was confused by the 1 gkrieg thing, with no mention of goon or vig, but now I get it that he's one of the two options and the other is dead.

There is some reason to consider exiling gkrieg, since goon!gkrieg would have an nk to kill another town. We may have the assistance of the RB, but in blocking gkrieg they lose a chance to help find the SK. Vig!gkrieg might want to shoot, too, but that is less worrisome given that he'd be making his decision in light of town's best interests. We don't generally exile vigs to keep them from shooting!

In the end, I agree we should not exile gkrieg today. He put himself in the SK crosshairs by claiming, and a solo goon would not do that. Would a drunk!solo!goon?

Town claiming would avoid a body snatch (kinda).

A body snatch is a cannibal killing a town PR and claiming to be that PR (since we can’t disprove it due to no flip, and they know they killed that PR, so so counter). Effective snatching the body and pretending to be that PR.

Claiming now means the only possible bodysnatches are from if Jimmmmm was a PR or if Joseph was the real Vig.

In future days it’s much more foggy. Each day increases the likelihood that claims are nothings.

And yeah. I can’t decide. Half of me thinks Joth/MiX are into something. Half of me thinks we almost solve the game with claims.

Ok. I see now. It's too late, though. A VT could also be snatched. That's why I didn't see the point in claiming.

VT being snatched is much less significant, no?

Because a VT being snatched is essentially the same as having 5 claimed VT?

I dunno.

I’m down for no claim if it’s only me seeing an issue here, though.

I’m firmly on team Eddie/Joth now!

We're making teams? I'm on your team.

Really though, I don't think claiming does much other than expose PRs. A little coordination could happen, but then scum/SK could know better how to counter... at night and with claims.

And each cannibal (including gk, whether good or bad) now has a safe claim that cannot be countered, even if it is just VT. We know each got a kill last night, with 3 night deaths.

At least next game day, we should only have a max of 3 deaths (exile and 2 night kills), so there should still be 5 or more around then.

I can see where we would have a harder time exiling a claimed PR than a claimed VT. But an uncountered claimed PR is automatically suspicious whereas a fakeclaiming VT is just one in a group of other people claiming VT.  Nothing to draw attention to themselves. And that issue isn't solved by claiming PRs now.

I like this "body snatching" term. It seems very apt!

At least I have the confort in knowing that scum!me knows what town!me does, because I think I'd do this as SK too.
