Well he's probably not the only one who thought you might be Hinckley, regardless of whether it's true or not! And despite your efforts to post differently than he did in the last game. Clever. I guess it's a good plan as you were expecting some scrutiny today. But it doesn't prove that you were Town, only that you were ready to claim. My understanding is that Vincent believed that you and Aiden couldn't be on the same team given your interactions yesterday. Did I miss some evidence of there being more to it? Did Vincent ever mention other reasons to trust Aiden? How did this become a Masonry?

Okay sorry for having missed a great deal. I was unable to catch up with the threads in the last few days, and there was a lot happening here. Anyway, I'm back and hopefully for good. My last post was about how fast things had escalated between Daniel and Vincent. I remember thinking that it could be an elaborate ploy for two scum to go at each other hard at a time when it was unlikely that one would end up lynched. Then the good old "would they argue so much if they were Scum?" would inevitably surface, as it has already. But this is Day 2 now and not much has changed, and the feud has become tiresome for many. I'm not as suspicious of their interplay as I used to be. Daniel's claim is interesting. Given the votes piling up against him, I read claiming as a plausible Town play. Could be Scum claiming as well though. Jail Keeper is not such a common role that a Scum would expect a counter-claim, I suppose. Someone already mentioned that it was a safe bet, compared to Blocker for instance. On the other hand, if Daniel were Scum he would probably claim something that would be in tune with his scum role (Scum Blocker?). Then lots of players asked for a confirmation. Who was Daniel's target? Can the target verify there were blocked? This is big time fishing. In any other game this would have looked extremely suspicious. But now people seem to assume that everybody has PRs, and that claiming one has a role is inconsequential. I don't know what to make of it, still I'm not one comfortable with everyone claiming just in order to verify Daniel. If Daniel's target has indeed been blocked, it doesn't prove that Daniel is Town, only that Daniel knows that a Blocker has targeted them last night. On the other hand, it does reveal whether the target has a night action. This far, it seems that the target (Alex) has been silent on the matter, and it's probably for the best. Let them share that information with people they trust and not publicly. If Daniel is verified somehow, then I trust that the information will travel behind the scenes and that he won't be lynched. But if there are inconsistencies with his claims, then let that be known through trusted channels. Now it's not immediately clear why Daniel has blocked Alex. But... you spent all day yesterday arguing with Vincent, with Aiden... What made Alex a better target than them if you actually had a useful PR? I find your statement odd right there (emphasis mine). I think that roleclaiming is a Townie thing to do when you're about to be lyched. It's also a strategy that could be used by Scum, but why trying to save his butt would be an unhelpful thing for Daniel to do if he's Town? I fully agree with Peter on this.

Wow, I'm impressed. I didn't expect such a heated argument right on Day One. This escalated fast! Over poke votes of all things. It gives me the odd feeling of scum showing off by arguing over nonsense in order to look like they're actively participating. Experience tells us that players arguing the most on Day One are always Loyal, right? Taratatatatatata!!! I can make noise too! Keep it going mates, I'd like to see where this is going!

Monsieur Dumont, please do start by sharing your opinion on this vital issue first. So many men here going the easy route of pointing fingers at the absent, it's scary. I doubt that a traitor would be afraid of getting caught in a lie today of all days. After all we're just making small talk here. And hoping for rum.

Taratatatataatta! Wake up! Oh, never mind. Have you found the bastards yet? Looks like we can start voting right away. But many of us have yet to speak up, so I'm not in any hurry. Looks like the rum stores have been compromised already, with all this talk of long necks and seamen. My, what have we got ourselves into again.

Taratatatatata! Wake up!!! Oh sorry, you're all here already. Fabien Bellamy, trumpeter emeritus, present.
