My scumpartners, not my parents.
The theory here is that you do not need three persons to cast suspicion on one guy. Actually one is probably to much unless there actually is something suspicious to point out.
In this case I think you are acting sucpicious, because I have problems with seeing your town motive for claiming. Why claim D1, when you apparently have no plan of using your power in the near future?
Ha... totally misread that. Ok I see what you are saying. But keep in mind that you can't coordinate--unless there is daytalk--it because I claimed right off the bat day1. So I guess you are saying that you would have sat back and seen what your partners would have done. If they had attacked me you woulnd't have. If they hadn't you would have?
As for the rest... I claimed because I felt it was the best move. 1. It provided town with what I consider to be a pseduo-IC for all intents and purposes. Someone to trust and rely upon. Not a perfect IC I admit, but for me to be scum I would either have to be lying--unlikely I think you will admit--or scum with the power I said I had--even more unlikely I think you will admit. So while I never sought complete IC status, part of my reasoning was that I expected--and saw--that most people would believe me and would respond positively to my suggestions and ideas 2. there was no drawback... as I believe I am a PR that is expendeble. My power is more often negative utiltiy than positive and if I died I didn't think it would be a big loss. However, it also created a WIFOM situation for scum to decide if I was worth a NK--I kinda hoped I would take in a NK last night, but that wasn't the case.
As for not having a plan to use my power. Who says I don't have a plan. Perhaps my criteria for such a situation where my plan would work hasn't bee fulfilled yet. I might use my power in the future, I might not, it depends on what happens in the game itself.
OK, I can see that it makes kind of sense for you to do as you did as town. And I admit that it is unlikely that you are lying, and even more unlikely that you are scum with daykill. It is like Ashersky said it:
Here is a question for anyone that wants to answer it:
Hypothetically if you are scum how do you respond to me claiming dayvig (and thus you as scum would know I am telling the truth)?
Do you subtly cast suspicion on me in an attempt to make sure I don't get IC status or do you basically "believe" my claim and cast no suspicion my way?
Not sure what you're looking to get out of this question. I like it as a theory discussion, but in game you have to expect any number of answers that probably won't tell you anything useful.
Honestly, it's such a confirmable claim (all day powers are) that everyone needs to believe it until you can't confirm it, and then you get lynched. Because of that, it's very unlikely to be a fakeclaim from scum. I think scum wants to push you to shoot at a time that is most opportune for them -- that is, when you are espousing bad reads (which you wouldn't know are bad).
Has anyone stuck out to you as particularly worried about your reads of them? I think scum are going to be a bit more jumpy than they would normally be about your reads if they are accurate because it isn't about beating a wagon, it's about beating you head to head.
But the question here is, If you do not shoot anybody, how long do we wait before we conclude that you cannot confirm you claim, and lynch you. Three days. Four? I am not comfortable with waiting much more that today.
Yuma, I think you are bold enough as scum to try just something like claiming dayvig and try to get away with it for as long as you can. And what worries me is that you are in a ridiculous good situation if you are scum. As a semi-IC you have quite a lot influence on who we lynch, Including pretty much removing yourself from the lynchpool. It means that you could probably get yourself and your teammates safely to D3 (only fearing any third party). And even if we lynch you tomorrow, your teammates are quite good off.
That is why it would ease my mind if you shoot someone today.
I would also like to hear from everyone. How many days should we wait before yuma have to prove his claim or be lynched?
