And I’m going to only vote players who haven’t made a specific claim.

Have received PM.

The likelihood of all of us specifically claiming so as to foil Pleo's plan is as close to zero as makes no difference. The futility of herding cats applies.

I claim I am not rich. I claim I am not poor. I have a wife, a dog and a house. And I claim that I want no more.

Death doesn’t reveal anything, but dead players have a vote and can still provide information. That radically changes the decision between claiming and not claiming.

I don’t expect everyone to claim while alive, so they can claim when dead. Let’s speed up that process.

What's the town motivation in wanting everyone dead?

Town needs information to win, scum want to stop town from getting information. Players who give specific information are more likely to be town, because they are actually helping town. Players who don't want to give specific information are more likely to be scum, because they are actually helping scum.

A player can be coy if they want, but in this game, where there are no death reveals, all they are doing is delaying town from getting information. We won't learn who's scum by executing anyone. We have to figure out who's scum by putting together our puzzle pieces--which we only discover when players make specific claims.

For those opposed to making specific claims, they need to describe exactly how they think town is going to win this game by players not making specific claims.

I don't have time for this. Yet again.

You can't take game hostage.

Claiming on day 1 is your thing. It's not ours.

More importantly, it's not this game's thing, either.

Play this game. Not yours.

And this is NAI. Just the same as all claims ate bound to be also.

For as famous [Donkey Kong Country, Goldeneye 007, Killer Instinct, Battletoads, Wizards and Warriors] and infamous [Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Beetlejuice, Silent Service] as video game company Rare [Rareware] was, I claim that the music they made was a thousand times better, and yes, they should have been in the record industry, exclusively.

Donkey Kong Country 2 was my jam growing up… finally beat the entire thing too after several months (when I was 12-ish)

I don't see any form of a denial here, that the music was in truth, marginally to just slightly more than marginally, better than the gameplay. better than the gameplay.

I had Goldeneye on the living room tv, would do that until I had to run out to the school bus.
