    Joking response: You can't dangle that kind of a fruit in my face and not expect me to take it.

    Serious response: I've been out of the game for a while but that role makes no sense to me. Either you're a third party/neutral or a regular villain looking to take a risk. I doubt power-town would have made that kind of claim.

    Its just a survivor role. I have to live to endgame.

    I have balls but not that much to claim it first post as scum/serial killer. I take risks, but calculated ones.

    I'm also not power town. I'm simply a survivor. Basically a vanilla townie I guess.

    I don't think I've ever claimed first post before so thats a new thing.

    Ooh, thanks for the excuse to link to one of my favorite philosophical concepts that relates to Mafia!

    Problem of induction

    Scumcatch and Hume on D1, it's like I never stopped playing.

    It doesn't seem logical to me that you'd be so willing to claim early. It's a big risk to draw this much attention to yourself, and the payoff is... what, exactly? Hoping to earn our trust so that we won't lynch you? Why didn't you just wait until you were in some kind of danger before claiming?

    Because I am a pretty good townie and I never make it to endgame.

    Basically what this does is narrow the pool for other players, and keeps me out of harms way. Its playing to my win condition.

    I've literally never claimed this early ever

    so its already likely that I am telling the truth, plus it makes no sense from any perspective for me to claim this role.

    I can link you to every scum and third party etc game I've ever played.

    Also, GH, thanks for the half hour detour through Wikipedia .

    It should be noted that this is an El Barto game, so assumptions about whether a claim makes sense carry rather less weight than they might under a different host (not that this is a criticism - it's part of Takhisis' charm).

    How are you feeling about the other responses to Visor's claim, btw?

    Seems sort of anti fun to claim - but I'm probably an early nightkill so I figure I'd be upfront and claim.
    Maybe we're all just rusty, but this wording screams to me that Visor needs to be lynched.

    It might help you to know that Visor has been playing a lot of games in various different parts of the mafiaverse. From the rest of the roster, BSmith and myself have both been playing fairly regularly. I can't speak for anyone else.

    Unvote: Visor
    Vote: BSmith


    I'd actually like to thank Visor for ensuring that D1 wasn't completely useless for once. Anyway, BSmith's being way too wishy-washy here.
