the point of the question was more of a "is there a drawback of claiming it 10 secs prior to deadline?"
I don't see a drawback but I haven't thought this trough. My plan ended at the "get mayor and decide the d1 lynch"-stage.

Ok, consider if Toad is third party. Assuming that he has no real mason powers, he'll want an excuse not to mason someone. If he doesn't call his target before the deadline, he'll just claim that he masoned one of the dead guys.

If he does call his target before the deadline, his target may survive the night and he'll be left with a lot of explaining to do.

I suppose the risk is that scum know that you're going to call and may be F5ing and waiting with a PM ready to send. Logically the ideal time to post would be between the deadline and the nightpost, but that might be a bit abusive. Check with the host.

Otherwise you could use some kind of cipher, I guess.

I don´t want a vig to shoot you, but supersoft is also one of my stronger townreads in this game, so please give him some slack.

The reason I wonder where you were is because SS and I tried to build a case on Zealos near the deadline, so that you´d lynch him instead of Sinensis. I asked you specifically who you were lynching, before I found out myself from your filter, and I didn´t hear an answer, so I assumed you were elsewhere. Why didn´t you consider our case?

I didn't answer because you found the answer yourself. I did consider your case as well, but I didn't want to just switch my lynch target a half-hour from the lynch without any discussion with town. I felt that sinensis had a good chance of flipping scum, and I said that I was going to lynch him, so I stuck with what I told people I was going to do, instead of frantically rushing around the deadline to figure stuff out and causing a lot of chaos.

well it kinda does. People tend to agree I'm either lyncher or town and lyncher has no shot.

Just claim on the deadline. Lyncher has no KP, so if scum randomly switch to your target, it's a null-tell.

I'd prefer if you waited Toad. If you can't mod-confirm yourself then you're up for analysis just like everyone else...that way you're judged by the merit of your posting rather than everyone waiting to see if your claim pans out.

Therefor if your target dies, I move that we do just that. I say DON'T tell us your target until after the hits are resolved, and if your target dies overnight then we judge you based on the merit of your posting rather than taking your claim for granted any longer.

Is anyone opposed to this idea?

I struggle to see why people think me defending Toad is scummy lol.
I am a townie, because of this, I am posting under the assumption that everyone knows I'm town. Hence why, if I defend someone, its because I think they deserve to be defended. If I post accusations, it will be because I think they are scummy. I'm sorry I haven't posted a great deal yet, like I said, my exam is tomorrow, and so I'll be able to post more then.
