Are you choosing to ignore this?
- Scum will not be immediately outed if they are forced to claim.
I am not. I don't see how this has ANYTHING to do with what you are accused of, man.
You were not forced to claim.
You were NOT forced to claim.
You were not asked to claim.
How does this relate? You admitted to having an AXE. What good guy has an AXE? (Don't say Paul Bunyan). That has nothing to do with being forced to claim. You could have just not said anything.
I mean, you may be town, and so you thought it was best to say you have an axe. Or you may be scum who thought it'd seem better to admit you it so you could look like you were town. It's like if there's a Big Bad Wolf in the game, and he/she decided to just claim to be the Big Bad Wolf and say that flavor name is town, since why the hell would you claim to be the Big Bad Wolf in the first place, right?
So you deciding to just straight up claim something scummy seems like a great move by master scum, which we all know you to be.
As for your mod quote there, I think it just means that whatever is claimed won't give away alignment. It's not like someone going to go "derpity-derp I'm a ninja godfather Big Bad Wolf derp" or something.
I have no reason to believe Archetype had to provide fake claims to the players. As a mod, I only did it on request, and only in games where it might matter. I think you mentioned what you mentioned because it is in your scum PM.
