Sorry. I was around. I didn't realize we could talk during the day.
I'm not really surprised by the Pleo result. Why does he think claiming on night 0 is a good thing?
Ed was pinging me, per my vote, but I certainly understand the vote on Mahaloth. It doesn't look to me like they are both scum. I did wonder about Mahaloth asking whether town could talk at night. MHaye had already said that they could once, and, of course, it was in the rules. Was this trying a little too hard?
Little risk to town, but perhaps not little risk to scum. A mass name claim forces scum to commit to a name. That prevents them from making a more convenient claim in the future. It also gives a name investigator something to work against.
I actually agree with Pleonast here in that a name claim in a game like this has nearly zero harm to Town. It probably won't harm Scum either, but it would lock them into the name part of their claim anyway.
Can scum talk during Day in this game? Did the rules tell us?
So Pleo was The Tower. We know that vanillas could be major arcana. I'm pretty sure a name claim wouldn't get us anywhere except for me and Death being lynched. I'm not sure what to make of Charr who claims not major arcana, and voted Rysto without reason. Just too odd.
I have played in probably more than half a dozen games with peeker and I don't think I've ever been right on him, but I am leaning town on him this game. I am also leaning town on Renata, because I agreed with her assessment of Ed, who seems to be making lists but no cases.
I trust your judgment more than mine, so I am certainly willing to consider alternatives, but I think I should protect you again tonight.
