Right, hence it wasn't following the plan.
I don't particularly like the looking choices. To wit:
I also looked at silverspawn. He was the main person content-wise D1, so I wanted to check he wasn't scum manipulating us.
The only thing that makes me hesitant about voting, is why claim to look at Silverspawn? It's not like anyone can Track. Actually I was going to vote Joseph and changed my mind.
So what goes through scum's head when deciding who to claim you looked at? Well if you claim your partner and someone else claimed/claims your partner, we have a "pseudo half IC". However, if you flip scum then everyone can go back and look and see if you'd claim your partner or not. On the other hand, you may want to use that and claim to have a Town member doubled so that if/when you do flip scum, you can get that guy mislynched. I'm not so sure about the utility of the last point.
I'm thinking if you claim early (Chairs, Joseph, Awaclus) as scum, you say anyone, probably not your partner. The downside of a Town to claim after you having looked at that target is not too great. If you're a later claiming (me, Hydrad, EgorK, Rubby) scum, you get to choose whether you'd repeat a target or claim someone new. I'm thinking you'd simply do the latter: claim someone no one else has looked at. That gives the least amount of information for everyone.
Not much to go on.
