Let me put that differently. Massclaiming here might be in town's favor, or it might be in scum's favor. I don't know. I have no past games to reference. Since we are all at least partially newbies here, we should play it safe. Playing it safe means no massclaims.
Scum were given fake role claims in addition to fake character claims. Zero benefit to town in mass claiming.
I don’t really want to soft-claim flavour just because it would feel like shit if I was Scum and got caught due to flavour. So I’d appreciate flavour not being a part of the discussion.

I agree there is no point to softing here but I confess I don't even know how one advances the game DP1 without softing. I guess just talk and sus and grasp at straws.
Magoroth came across as erratic and scummy to me for the whole Bears game and turned out to be town. He's kind of just like that, it's NAI.

First initial read is that Wryly seems kinda shy. It could be her personality, it could also be due to her alignment.
VTL Wryly
Indeed I have been widely described as shy, modest, chaste, demure, graceful, feminine, with dainty movements and tiny feet. My calligraphy flows like the wind bearing the lotus blossoms through the bamboo. The Emperor should well take note of this.
Wylted is probably town. Miller is a risky claim but the way he claimed it and his realization about the complex mechanization of his role makes it seem more legit to me. I think we can move past him.
Also heads up I am generally not a fan of games that have weird flavor mechanics, I signed up for this one as a return favor since rex signed up for mine, but I just wanna play normal mafia, so I am going to try to treat this like a normal mafia game as much as possible. I honestly don't understand why mods want to over complicate stuff like this all the time, it seems like it always frustrates the players and ultimately always favors mafia.
Ymmv I guess. I was kinda psyched for this when he explained it to me, sounds fun.
I do want a character and justification claim from Wylted because I can imagine this is something like, "the court gets more dangerous for you the more attention you attract".
Could definitely see this
He's claiming he gets Miller at Imperial Noble Consort level too
We're talking about it because the idea of the theme is that as you advance in favor, you gain advantages (as it is in any court). The idea that you advance in favor but gain a disadvantage is odd.
Hold on, I didn't understand my role. I am only miller when I get a certain amount of favor. I guess I probably didn't even need to say anything
Gonna have to agree with whiteflame. Miller should be your default role -- it's weird as an unlockable
Well... here’s a thought. I assume Empress is Town. I also assume scum know which abilities are in the game, so it’s not like they would have to make up some night actions that aren’t possible, so there’s no value to the Empress hiding these night actions.
I think Empress should instaclaim right now and tell us what abilities she has access to. Then, Vader decides on who to make the Empress. We can also determine who to give favour to, etc.
Honestly, maybe it’s a good idea to claim how much favour everyone has? Idk.
Don't like the idea of outing the Empress, who I assume is starting out with all her powers and would be a top scum target. As for the favor claims, this also gives scum an idea of our power levels.
"Scum were given two fake claims" could mean there are two scum, actually. Or there are three scum and they had to Sophie's Choice who would get the claims.
I'm at a loss as to what soft claim format we could use, if we decided to soft. We're all female, all with variable ranks subject to change, and all harem... ites? Haremites? No that sounds like hare mites.
Not to waste the Emperor's time with idle gossip, but a little birdie told me most of these concubines are secretly smuggling sausage
Fuck it. I am a miller.
Again? Damn
Usually 3 scum in a 12p game. But per OP, technically Supa doesn’t have a vote, so it’s really 11p, which is more balanced usually with 2 scum + TP imo
Could be two or three then
*scribbles note*
Don't think I've ever been in a 12p before. Are there guaranteed more than 2 scum with this many?
We about to have a literal ho down
Should've established more towncred for myself, life got in the way. Don't feel bad
Can relate
I wonder what the statistics are that I am facing yet another Shining/whiteflame pairing
I have a hard time sussing Banana or Mag1c here, so my vote will probably be on whiteflame fwiw. The early full claim when scum were given no fake claims has made me townread Nana from the start, and Mag1c was pretty aggressive on Shining.
I await the isos
/in bc there's a backup
Gn and happy isoing
Now that I think about it, it could be endgame conditioning too. Kohai was hard townreading me
Point
Outing characters yesterday probably did help scum
So did softing the way we did. I half-sussed Kohai because he was the one who suggested we soft that way and it aided scum's ability to find Ted Lasso so much. Sometimes trying to progress the game just plays into scum's hand.
The multitude of Vanillas is puzzling. So the there's a Cop, Universal Backup, Achilles, Cop, Activist, two Vanillas if either Mag1c or whiteflame is lying, and three Vanillas if Banana is lying (I don't think she is). Odd setup.
And why Kohai? I thought he was Informed Townie this whole time. Didn't seem like a high priority target.
Errybody think I'm Plankton when I'm goddamn Patrick Star, unfuckingbelievable
Idk which is harder to believe, that I would've pulled an Activist/Votebuyer fake claim out of my ass as a green player with no experience as scum, or that I really am a scum Votebuyer and told you about it
