    Joke's on you, I came up with all that after the game had started! My aggressive hatred for D1 knows no bounds.

    Only reveals Elder Witches. There's also two Little Witches that are scum and the Bishop won't turn them up.

    wait fuck that means my Inquisitor advice that a successful Bishop claim is a slam dunk wasn't correct. It's still super valuable though, so if there's any doubt about a Bishop claim you should probably still verify it (ditto Zealot)

    lynch rubicon

    Always a witch.

    Here's the TLDR for roles: Don't claim outside of exceptional circumstance. If you're getting lynched, we don't care about your role unless you're Holy, the DOB or the LC.

    Says the person who claimed Gravedigger under pressure in Fantasy Strike WH12 :v

    (seriously though, shouldn't some inforoles claim their info when facing the lynch? The GD/UT can verify them, and for everyone the Spiritualist can verify and the PT knows to pick up the info if we really need it. Seems like a waste for that info to disappear...)

    You can be a witch too, there's lots of Witch slots to go around this game.

    I'm town. It's hard for me to believe as well. I keep thinking I should do something manipulative and then catching myself.

    DC is my first townlean. And he was even in the correct thread at the right time! There's nowhere to go but up from here.

    The info? Nah.

    It's completely neutral though. That post is one flat tire.

    I am ok with Jarizok.

    I'm interested in this as well.

    On the one hand, it helps witches zero in on both the priest and each other (little/elder).

    On the other hand, the soup kill is limited, and some of our information roles are bound to end up with game-changing info that town needs. Losing that info to a lynch seems like a net negative in many cases.

    Of course, WH players as a whole claim too much, so it's not bad advice to avoid claiming until you're sure it benefits town.

    I'm looking at this post.

    ...I've got nothing.

    My best guess is Vaimes is cosplaying a magikarp itt or something.

    I mean, it makes sense for undertaker/gravedigger to not claim until needed, unless up for lynch.

    are you lynching rubicon for his thought list?

    I wasn't under pressure, I accidentally told everyone my role as I was SUCCESSFULLY SCUMHUNTING. I should maybe be jailed for leaking CLASSIFIED INFORMATION.

    Let's look at the info roles, from a 'town getting lynched' perspective

    gd/ut - Can claim and share just alignments - X was town, Y was elder, etc. Role info is not info we want to share with the witches.
    peeper - no info if not activated & unless the prior peak was gd pair, not info we want to share
    teller - not info we want to share
    spirit - Maybe? It kind of depends the stage of the game.
    inq - not info we want to share

    My point was more that there are no roleclaims except holy that will prevent a lynch on oneself.

    Hmm.

    Lynch: KaiDASH

    Could you explain your value reasoning around inforoles letting their info die with them?

    That unvote seems hasty, if you thought the initial post was enough to warrant a vote. Are you satisfied by his response?

    Vaimes is almost 100% scum.

    Jari is almost 100% town.

    Everyone else is somewhere in between.

    Yeah ok not wanting claimed info to go to witches point is good and not one I'd properly considered. For my part, I'd like GD/UT to do the claim you specified for additional reasons I don't want to go into unless it actually happens. One caveat though: Should probably only claim town/scum so they're not e.g. revealing that a Little Witch or Agent is dead.

    I'm actually still going back to Lynch: KaiDASH though since owner is currently away and there's little point in pressuring them right now as a result. That latest post is good, but also comes after Jari said "kai's previous post was mechanic talk that isn't really anything new to benefit town" so kind of gets a side eye for that. (At least that's what I interpreted Jari's criticism as?)

    Miner --- Why exactly is Vaimes almost 100% scum??
