Perhaps we should discuss who should claim and when.

With 5 PRs v 4 scum scum cannot afford to CC so claims will be quasi-clear.

I suggest miller and doc claim EON1. Hopefully scum kill a vt N1 this would give cop 3 scans and Jack 3 uses since presumably scum would kill the 2 claimants N2 and N3.

Oracle could read the N1 kill and declare EON3 giving the cop another scan and Jack could autopsy the doc claimant.

Jack and cop then reveal all their info EON4.

A more conservative option would be for doc and miller to claim now and bring everything as above forward a night.
Why would we want the doctor to claim early, or at all? The doctor becomes more useful as the game gets smaller. If we have a doctor claim late, we will be well aware that it could be mafia hoping the doctor is dead.
Wait until you catch up Bozo. I revised this.

I think bozo is right on this, miller claiming could help us out, but also gives scum a free kill.

I see there's a lot of Miller talk.
Hahaha, Miller talk goes Brrrrr

I unironically love Miller talk, b/c I can at least get some info about people's thoughts from it. Guessing random people to try and get wagons going doesn't make any sense to me normally, and has less than zero benefit in a game where there's no info in death. Day 1 we should talk about if Miller should role claim (no other role should, duh), and whether or not we should kill someone (which people seem to want blood, but I don't agree and think that hurts us more than helps us). Any other discussion seems like filler until night time.

3. We don't apart from maybe miller. Should miller claim, if so, when?
Miller is a negative utility role. In this setup the Miller is unusual, because normally a Miller is unaware of their own millitude. Scum could claim Miller, to protect against a future cop result, but this would be very foolish - the real Miller absolutely should counter-claim in that scenario, and then town should vote out both claimants, because that way one of them is a guaranteed scum elimination, which is a worthwhile trade for town in this scenario.

Taking that into account, then YES the Miller should claim. If nobody counter claims, the Miller claimant can be treated as very nearly townclear.

I encourage the Miller to claim.

I hardclaim that I am *not* the Miller.

For this game I favour a staggered time appropriate PR only claim. VTs should not declare.
I read your post but you already lost me where the doc claims 2nd
Staggered reveals are fine but should come about naturally more or less. Each day and night we'll have the opportunity to evaluate whether a claim would be appropriate
I undervalued doc and have changed my mind.

I think the reveal order should be:

Miller Day 1 or EON1
Oracle once they have something to reveal
Jack once powers used
Doc
Cop

Obviously a PR under wagon pressure or a false scum claim could change the order.

Oh, I missed an obvious troll-poll that I must add to: Dogs >>>>>>>> Cats

Dogs are natural companions while cats just look at us as their providers. It takes an amazing, almost unicorn-esque, cat to be even remotely close to what an average dog naturally does for companionship.
Is it a troll poll or is it trying to get a vibe of someone....

Wow you're right worcej, that does seem useless.
I am starting to wonder if this could be scum theater, because if you and worcej were scum together, this kind of thing is what I would expect to see.

This would happen regardless of anything. It's totally null.

Ok, I'm talking about the conversation on page 20 between Eden and Besharam.

There's a lot of ambiguity in that post, but either it's a Miller Claim, or it's pretending to be a Miller Claim, while still leaving open being a vanilla claim. Unless I'm totally misreading it and it's a galaxy brain play I misunderstand?

(If it's actually a cop claim, I feel bad pointing it out, but that would be so bad that town would be screwed instantly regardless)

What's the point of killing good scum players if when they die we don't know if they are actually scum.

This is PR hunting too...

Miller shouldn't claim.
Strong disagree. Miller isn’t a PR and should claim
Agree here - it removes any chance of scum using it later and if we do kill a scum player D1, they'll claim it to create CC-ish situation and force another PR claim to verify.

Now is the time for the miller to claim.
You this is in direct contrast with your stance on this topic in the signup thread.

Kgray is good as both alignments.

Why did you vote Flum just before, and why aren't you sticking with that vote?

If I understand the role correctly, the oracle will only have something to reveal when they are dead.
