    I don't remember you arguing against using lyrics as a soft claim in my Rock & Roll Hall of Fame games Secura, in fact I remember you doing pretty much that (making soft claims with lyrics). As for why you would do it, perhaps you don't have a cover role, perhaps you just like Lady Gaga lyrics. It's still the only case we have.

    There are three votes against me, so we've got all the makings of a bandwagon going on; they are unlikely to be the only votes either, since this is shaping up to be another game of town ineptitude if current logic is anything to go by.

    Really? After 1 day and night phase, your conclusion is that the town sucks? Give us a chance.

    Of course in a game like this quoting lyrics of a role other than your own as a towie could in no way be described as ineptitude.

    The thing is, it's not even a case; if I was mafia and picking a cover role to 'claim' with, why pick one that was obviously going to be in the game on the basis of pre-game conversations and the fact it's going to be a similar premise to your game (acts the host likes as town, dislikes as scum)?

    Khazaar could have called me out at any point he liked, it would have been far too risky and it doesn't credit me with much imagination or intelligence.

    That's true, I used lyrics in that game to attempt to draw someone's attention, but you know full-well why I did it and how pointless it turned out to be. The reasoning for doing so in this game is much more simple; this is very much a case of Chaotix's CoV game... cool character, awful role.

    The sarcasm doesn't work here.

    In a game of, what, 5 votes thusfar. I'm pretty sure that 2 votes is enough pressure to turn the tide. Why even bother with 3?

    And I'll use this to counter with an example you should remember as a host, the Raleigh debacle in Animus. Plus most of that could be called WIFOM.

    Poor show. I disliked my role, but at least made an attempt to play as him.

    I think that the case of the Animus slightly different, since there was no indicators that Sir Walter Raleigh would be a role in that section of the game; he's a notable figure of the time period, but he wasn't a participant in the defeat of the Armada.

    And I'm aware it's WIFOMy, but it has to be said nonetheless.

    Poor show. I disliked my role, but at least made an attempt to play as him.
    That doesn't make sense; why would I overtly play my role when there's no cause to do so?

    This isn't like Hall of Fame, where I had to connect with Double A and resorted to posting Buckley lyrics in an attempt to gain his attention... in that case, that was the only way to garner attention and connect with someone who picked up on what I was saying.

    In this game, my connection to other players begins and ends with my flourish, a requirement for five Good/Good players to survive the game. There is nothing to gain by revealing my identity, as there was in your game.

    You don't think getting a list of roles would at least be a start to piecing together who belongs and who doesn't? I doubt the whole game could be deciphered but it would be more to go on than we have already.

    It certainly worked in Hall of Fame, but you have to remember that this is all based upon Diamondeye's musical tastes (favour with the DJ and all that), so we'd have to guess his likes and dislikes; that's without accounting for any twists that there might be, such as cover roles or unexpected Popularity/DJ Favour combinations.

    Yeah, one of Pizza's comments about my laziness as a townie finally hit home. Let's see how long it lasts.

    To be honest I'm more interest in the fact you specifically said "nothing to be gained". Made me wonder if you are privy to game mechanics the rest of us aren't. Or it could just as likely be me making a case out of nothing.

    Look at it this way; if I don't reveal my identity, I'll likely be lynched for my supposed claim to be someone I wasn't. If I do claim, I will either be branded a liar and lynched anyway, or the mafia will kill me since there's nothing for them to gain from me being in the game.

    It's a lose-lose situation either way, that's just how these things seem to go for me.

    Hmmmmm, TheLastDays looked like a good bet at first, though he is looking increasingly like naive town rather than lacadaisical mafia; he's just made far too many glaringly questionable posts to be a possible scummer, particularly for Day One.

    I think that robbiecon and Believer are strong choices.

    There is no such thing as strong choices (in most games) on Day 2.

    Why not me?
