Hello, all! Well my suggestion to use "fire" for our new word really, really does not work given the flavor in this setup, eh? Oh well.
I'm mildly in favor of the Doctor claiming, though I would like to see more discussion of it. And if I were the Doctor, I would not be claiming right now, until there was more discussion of it. If we manage to E-1 (?) scum, we are probably going to end up with dueling Doctor claims anyway, as has been noted. In the last few games I played it seems like we were doing, er, exiles, at the very last minute, not leaving a lot of time to adjudicate claims, which would be especially bad here. Just having the Doctor claim eliminates this possibility, and we get an IC. And scum have to be a little afraid about taking the shot, since it could duplicate. I realize I'm not saying anything novel but I had these thoughts as well and thus I am going to voice them! Trying to be helpful town!Robz, turning over a new leaf, watch me go.
