Massclaim seems like a bad idea at the moment, we don't want to out a doc.
Also, PMJ is back to looking scummy to me.

And how does that answer my question?What does that have to do with a statement of my opinion of you? I wasn't aware there was a requirement for that.
Um... But only 4 of us haven't? I actually have no problem name-claiming. I'm Ben, the protagonist from Guardian Signs. Hello.That is a bad idea imo.
Not going to claim my role.
Normally I would agree, but we're almost there already. Scum would be smart enough to know to kill the players that haven't claimed.Yeeeeeeah I'm thinking no to the massclaim.
There was plenty of supporting evidence for your lynch. Still is, if you keep acting so cocky.You tried lynching me for less, pal >:[
Except you missed that May's (was that Cypher?) flavor stated that she chose her starter due to type advantages. That would mean that Brendan does have to exist with different flavor for his starter. And I have a hard time believing that a townie role would be directly influenced flavor-wise by a safe-claim like that. Unless you think Cypher is scum too?You are probably so hesitant to claim because Brendan is a safe claim:
> not a Ranger hero (and therefore not guaranteed town as only Pokemon Rangers can be considered town since they are the canonical heroes of this story)
> scum role blockers exist
> can role block two+ players in one night (to shut down/increase the chances of shutting down power roles)
> scum were given full safe claims so of course the wording in your role PMs would match; if they didn't your claim would not be safe
scattered mind first, then you're next >:}
The whole point of fake claims is for them to be believable. To make claims as early discernable from each other as this would make for an incredibly unsuccessful game. This is why there are almost certainly rangers as fakes.The part about Brendan not being in the Pokemon rangers is interesting. Zinnia was a safe claim. Was Zinnia ever showed in the story of Pokemon rangers? It sounds logical that all the safe claims would be Pokemon characters that are not from the Ranger story, but it's too easy on the other hand since once you'll figure that out, all the Mafia would not be able to hide. It also sounds logical that it is mixed.
It's too early to know.
The weird thing is why people started to claim their role name in the first place? Especially the roles that are not in the OP after we saw Zinnia was a safe claim.
Why to assume that the fact their role pm is a Pokemon character means they are confo town? It's not like anyone has pressured them to claim anything.
I know Celever later on mentioned that it doesn't clear him as town but early when he just claimed he stated that it is.
Kinda reminds me of last game "Someone targeted me last night" statement by Mafia members (Athena and Jeremy and maybe another Mafia that I can't remember rn).
The way I see it we have 4 roads to pick from this point:
1. Voting and pressuring players who claimed their role name for no reason other than appear town such as SS, Cypher and Celever (seems too soon to me).
2. Voting for the less active members that we know nothing about and that seems to only post so they won't get modkilled like Ice Espeon.(the time might be too short for that but it might be the reason we'll go there eventually)
3. Voting and testing connections such as PMJ-simsands and TT-tgk-Growlitheguy (the time left also might be too short )
4. Voting for GM DracLord which almost everyone think he acted scummy and the only reason he is not being considered is that he acts like that in every game (which is true, plus we need info and it doesn't look like a great source comparing to other possibilities)
What do you think?
And how does that answer my question?
Um... But only 4 of us haven't? I actually have no problem name-claiming. I'm Ben, the protagonist from Guardian Signs. Hello.
Only 4 people haven't claimed? That's... wrong. I told PMJ the same thing... just the fact that you've gone for this idea using the same logic makes me think you could well be PMJ's scumbuddy.Um... But only 4 of us haven't? I actually have no problem name-claiming. I'm Ben, the protagonist from Guardian Signs. Hello.
See above.Normally I would agree, but we're almost there already. Scum would be smart enough to know to kill the players that haven't claimed.
I agree, depending on simisands' answer.There was plenty of supporting evidence for your lynch. Still is, if you keep acting so cocky.
I don't see a big issue with claiming this since it reveals none of my abilities:Except you missed that May's (was that Cypher?) flavor stated that she chose her starter due to type advantages. That would mean that Brendan does have to exist with different flavor for his starter. And I have a hard time believing that a townie role would be directly influenced flavor-wise by a safe-claim like that. Unless you think Cypher is scum too?
Celever, can you share flavor from your starter?
bbninjas said:Ability: Starting out your Journey
During Night 0, you must PM me the name of one of the Hoenn Starter Pokémon (Treecko, Mudkip or Torchic). You will be sent the final evolution of that Pokémon, capture it and its ability will become available for your use. If you fail to PM me, you will be randomly assigned a starter.
Well I claimed mine because it was directly linked to Cypher and he asked for the claim. The reason why people are so willing to nameclaim is because it's basically 0 risk. This is why you claimed Kellyn yourself, right?The weird thing is why people started to claim their role name in the first place? Especially the roles that are not in the OP after we saw Zinnia was a safe claim.
I never did and I can't stress this enough. I was being careful not to. I even threw in a precaution at some point where I said that because everyone considers me town and to me Cypher is confotown I might call us both confotown. It's literally just ease of posting.Why to assume that the fact their role pm is a Pokemon character means they are confo town? It's not like anyone has pressured them to claim anything.
I know Celever later on mentioned that it doesn't clear him as town but early when he just claimed he stated that it is.
This one links us so specifically though. It's also so much higher risk in a game where there was almost certainly a town seer alive, which we now know there was in simisands. It's even higher risk because of the setup of this game -- 2 mafia factions and 1 town provides a different dynamic than 1v1.Kinda reminds me of last game "Someone targeted me last night" statement by Mafia members (Athena and Jeremy and maybe another Mafia that I can't remember rn).
Let me rephrase this:The way I see it we have 4 roads to pick from this point:
1. Voting and pressuring players who claimed their role name for no reason other than appear town such as SS, Cypher and Celever (seems too soon to me).
We'll definitely go here eventually, so I think it makes some sense to do it today. If not, then PMJ all the way.2. Voting for the less active members that we know nothing about and that seems to only post so they won't get modkilled like Ice Espeon.(the time might be too short for that but it might be the reason we'll go there eventually)
Depending on simisand's results PMJ could be a viable option.3. Voting and testing connections such as PMJ-simsands and TT-tgk-Growlitheguy (the time left also might be too short )
I don't like the idea of lynching Drac today at all.4. Voting for GM DracLord which almost everyone think he acted scummy and the only reason he is not being considered is that he acts like that in every game (which is true, plus we need info and it doesn't look like a great source comparing to other possibilities)
What do you think?

Well done missing yourself off that list of possible suspects in an option lol.
Wrong. I claimed mine because PMJ pressured me saying I'm scum. No one voted or blamed you or Cypher for anything before you claimed your role name.
The whole point of fake claims is for them to be believable. To make claims as early discernable from each other as this would make for an incredibly unsuccessful game. This is why there are almost certainly rangers as fakes.
@simsands did your results merely tell you that PMJ's role name is Lunick or did you learn more than that?
And that's also wrong. I actually got it from SM's post here.Only 4 people haven't claimed? That's... wrong. I told PMJ the same thing... just the fact that you've gone for this idea using the same logic makes me think you could well be PMJ's scumbuddy.
He had about as much pressure as you did at the time of your claiming. You claimed really prematurely, and usually when people panic like that it's a sign of being scum, JS.I understand your reasoning for claiming your name but I don't see why Cypher did that.
I was actually under the impression that it was a full role. This means that the best lynch option today is actually still PMJ IMO -- his claim is a ranger, so it's definitely a possibility that he's a godfather, which is a role which scans innocently or within a disguise. Usually this doesn't expand to their whole roles, but just a name claim could easily be PMJ's fake claim.I was told his role name, nothing more.
I'm pretty sure SM's list of no-info whatsoever was 9 people (now 8 because of you) and some of those 8/9 who had claimed parts of their role only did something like a name claim so it's not reliable, nor did you read the post right.And that's also wrong. I actually got it from SM's post here.
I definitely think option 2. ##UNVOTE ##VOTE: PMJ. If we decided to go for option 1, I feel that Yeowie is the best option.That leaves us with 3 roads:
1. Voting for Yeowie/Ice Espeon/Reinforce
2. Voting for PMJ
3. Discussing the TT-Growlitheguy-tgk connection
No, I did, right here:I'm pretty sure SM's list of no-info whatsoever was 9 people (now 8 because of you) and some of those 8/9 who had claimed parts of their role only did something like a name claim so it's not reliable, nor did you read the post right.
Six, not five, miscounted, and removed myself. But that's still not a lot of people that have no claim whatsoever. My point stands.
- Reinforce
- Yeowie
- Keeper of Night
- GM DracLord
- Ice Espeon
This is the list without any player who has claimed a role name, full role or an ability.
- Empoleon_master
He had about as much pressure as you did at the time of your claiming. You claimed really prematurely, and usually when people panic like that it's a sign of being scum, JS.
Well, if the person with Swampert used Muddy Water on me, then I know who did it, in terms of what their alignment is. Unless someone stole and used the pokemon, then the person who used it is Brendan.
Just realized Luis had a Galladite. Does anyone have an ability that can steal items from dead people? If so, I wouldn't mind the Galladite
Also, Cypher, I think I can guess your role based on what you said.
And The Shriek last night was probably Uproar [as @Celever said]. Who uses Uproar? Whismur. Who has a Whismur as their signature Pokémon? Zinnia.
@Cypher333 - you are May, correct?
So, I have Sceptile. Confirmed. It says in my role that I got sceptile because, and I quote,
Also, off topic, but I am currently reading Convicted 3, and I wish I had joined.
This semi-confirms we have Swampert in the game, then? That Mudkip evolved into a Swampert and is the source of the Muddy Water attack?
... And I'll just say I got a hint at what your role is Cypher. I just... wonder what "pressured" you to hint like this.
Oh please, TGK already pretty much told everyone. I just wanted to know who Brendan was.
*Brendan raises hand*.
None of my abilities are very strong so I'm not afraid of claiming it. Me and Cypher are now confotown as far as I'm concerned because that line of flavour with his Treecko (working hard to raise it) matches my line of flavour with my Mudkip perfectly.
No, I did, right here:
