I doubt that this is a serious vote.

Better ?

It sounds like you know scum has fake claims rather than suspect

I thought you were making a joke about the fact that I sounded certain of something while claiming René Descartes.

The thing is : we went through this in DWII (Voltaire alluded to it already) because it was slightly unclear in the OP, fought about it for a few days and didn't do it, and then ended up flavor claiming on day 3 or something, where it did nothing. That's the game that convinced me that theory talk is generally anti-town (because I did rereads and those first few pages were painful).

There is also no way that scum doesn't have fake claims, since their flavor is clearly stated in the OP (Hobbes, Hume and Marx are mafia, Nietzsche is SK).

I'm Bertrand Russell.

This game is tricky to theory-talk...most of the interesting stuff happened pre-game.

I remember vaguely from the last one of these (which I was not in, but followed at various points), that they did a number-claim, and I think a mass-claim at some point.  I'm pretty sure scum lied, but I'm not sure the overall effect of the claims (whether it helped or hindered town).  In the end, scum won, but that was because ehunt fooled everyone and their mom.  Anyways, does anybody who was in that game have any comments on the effectiveness of claiming that happened and what could be done better this game?

There are a lot of people is this game, this should be interesting. There was some talk about claiming up there, are we not doing that?

I feel like Philosopher's Mafia deserves a truly random RVS.

I'm not sure, there was talk about it and then it died down. I was wondering if anyone else had anything to say.

Yeah, I was town n that game. That was Mafia XVI. The game could have gone either way, it was down to the last 3 people, I think.

I remember we number claimed--fairly early, I think?--but now I'm thinking, why on earth did we do that? I can't see what benefit that has.

What's worked lately is sort of just picking someone and lynching them no matter what.

So, pick somebody.
