So anyway, a response to Wine's questions:
I didn't really have a plan for all the claiming stuff, it sort of just happened, and I wanted to see what happened if people thought I might claim.
Things I've got out of it:
Dunno why Jake thinks I was actually going to claim, or thinks I'm so scummy. And flavour doesn't matter, which he doesn't seem to have grasped yet. Plus he kind of dragged the discussion out longer, but Jake seems to like the RVs element.
IDPTG thinks this whole things was "iffy", which seems like a sensible response. It was a build up to nothing after all.
Awaclus wants to lynch me & get on with another game, which seems weird. Play the game you're in, not the one in the future. Not an alignment tell from that though.
Robz is confused & fed-up with this claim discussion, which seems mildly towny.
Wine seems like newb!town who's just very confused by me. Scum!newbie probably stays quiet, whereas lots of questions suggests town!newbie.
RR voted Jake, which seems like an easy mislynch. Slight scum read.
faust thinks I wouldn't be stupid enough to do this as scum. He's 100% right, but that doesn't mean he's town. Reserving judgement for now after NM9.
