This is really lame, but kudos for trying. Slightly less kudos for being a douchebag unnecessarily inIn post 983, Zantetsu wrote:Exactly. The timing is just too cute.

Would explain why my then-assumed guilty on Luca was immediately responded to by a hood-claim and confirmation.
I was hoping that maybe BM was just reaction testing but he's been given ample opportunity to come clean on that and has not. Another alternative is that he is town just claiming a fake role to get extra oomph behind his reads. He had me, profii, and Norwegian in his scum pool yesterday so that fits. Although why he would not bepulling this shitwith Norwegian instead I can't say because I'm not inside his head. I have seen town players fake cop claims before. It never ends well, but they do it anyway.BM's attitude fits the bill on this - all the smileys which just shout to me "like me! pay attention to my posts! see my emotion!"which at first I read as some weak scum faking but could be genuine. Notice how his attitude has so drastically changed today. Players he was scum reading and whose intelligence he was quite frankly insulting (Norwegian) he's now all buddy buddy with and sending hearts to. He's shut up now and is just watching the game progress, probably with glee as he observes the confusion he's caused. I have definitely seenplayers whose ego directs their play like this before. And I explicitly stated that if he's not scum, he's dumb,and I can see that triggering a town player withsuch an ego to do something stupid.
This is the worst case scenario because it means that one of us will get lynched today, flip town, and the other very likely gets lynched tomorrow which sends the game to 4v3 LYLO with all or most town roles claimed which is very close to a scum win.
So BM if you're town who made a fake claim or who is still reaction testing you have to let us know before I get to L-1, preferably well before to avoid the chance that I get lynched and lead to the 4v3 I described.
If BM is scum then I can only say they must have a plan. Or alternately BM is just winging it,the ego I described above can go do stupid stuffas scum just as easily as it can as town. In this case my lynch today is not the worst thing because it is a 1 for 1 trade with scum which is fine for town. My biggest concern would be that knowing that this is not the most optimal play for scum means that they probably have a plan and sacrificing Battle Mage is in that plan. If the plan were to have BM claim tomorrow that he was town just making a fake claim then hopefully what I have said here cuts that avenue off.
I'll explain it to you, because it honestly isn't as complicated as you suggest - I'm a cop, I investigated you, you essentially admitted you were scum, now we're (hopefully!) going to lynch you.
