Also where did you case me?

Based on what I know of elements, I really don't think that he thinks through his claims all that much - no offense to him (I quite enjoyed talking/playing with him, actually) - he's not particularly creative with his mafia claims, and in addition he's not a very good liar, at least not in my opinion. I have played scum before multiple times and rarely do I see a lot of coaching - when I have tried to coach players myself, the plays that they are asked to make feel very very awkward and forced - see the day 3 IC claim in Anuket Topaz. This doesn't feel like that. So personally I think it's a bit of a stretch to think that the kill he claimed would be the factional one, I very much expect that he has his own personal kill, regardless of his alignment.In post 7363, Menalque wrote:Why are you assuming that elements is actually a town vig rather than another killing role claiming town vig?In post 7354, Miss Lane wrote:+1In post 7351, davesaz wrote:I'm gonna answer the question that I expect to come up from 7162 without even refreshing the page, using the quick reply.

I read Menalque as highly manipulative. I don't care how towny he feels himself to be, or how towny others feel him to be. He's too pushy at a point in the game that we don't know alignments yet. That's being manipulative, regardless of alignment, and I don't like it. Let things flow.
Elements is also a thinking being, plenty capable of making his own decision as far as the kill is concerned. Unless he specifically asks for your input, you're simply giving away more information than you have to or probably should from an optimal game standpoint, and it implies general disrespect for Elements' judgement by implying that he can't think for himself from a human being standpoint.
That said - Menalque is remarkably quick to set elements up as lying here, and it's rather disturbing that - based on his play so far - he seems to throw enough shade around that it wouldn't surprise me if he turned on any player at any point. It seems very much to me that Menalque doesn't particularly care who does and does not get lynched, does anyone particularly disagree with this statement?
My vote is currently on Titus, but I will support Titus, TSE, Menalque, Flavor Leaf, or Cephrir today.
