Because bulletproof is a great early scum claim. That's why scum use it all the fucking time.In post 1343, Lady Lambdadelta wrote:If that is the case Keith why the fuck would i claim it as scum
Why not just claim mason if I am going down like that
Lost in a fucking tunnel
It's not a vanilla claim which draws a "well you might as well lynch, it's just a VT". It feels like a power role. No one ever asks why the power role is still alive. On top of that you can't be investigated, which helps if you're alive on day 7.
If you claimed mason, eventually you'd either need a mason buddy, or a real mason would claim and counterclaim you. And if someone claims buddy and you get investigated, you both blow up. It's quite a gambit in what's supposed to be a power madness game. We both know fakeclaiming mason as scum is an insane gambit that only very rarely pays off, and usually pays off done around day 2-3 in a mini with a number of roles (where there's just enough churn for no one to ask why the masons are still alive).
