Why do you think WoS said that he felt absolutely fucked?
Assume your survivor, you can hope town will mislynch today but if your not an idiot you need to account for all possible scenarios and you need to account for them right now(at the time of the claim). What if they successfully lynch(they still hold the majority no matter what)? What if scum tonight sees you as a threat because you were forced to vote with town and role blocks/shoots in order to make theyre kps unblockable, just to be sure. Or what if town lynches you tommorow because they cant find scum and they dont trust you. Yes WOS could skate by and win today, but hes just flipping a coin then. Point is he has to make his call at the start of day 2, he cant just withhold his role and pray, he needs to fake claim or true claim BEFORE he knows how things are going to happen. He tried to make a play that would account for all possibilities, potentially scaring off or appeasing scum (the claim of a role block on him would imply survivor is still out they're, or it would tell them thats hes trying to screw over town by breeding chaos) and maybe convincing town hes actually blue. Sadly it did not work, but the attempt is clearly they're.
The point is, once WOS admits hes survivor he surrenders control of his own fate, wether or not town lynch him or scum shoot him is out of his hands. WOS played the only move left to him, secure in the knowledge that he could always reclaim survivor and admit that fake names are in the game. He took the risk cause why not, he knows town will be hesitant to shoot survivor, that is if hes the only claim. What he didn't account for was that scum would be forced to steal his role, he should have known the alternative was miller, that was his biggest mistake, but a believable one in comparison to what others, yourself included, in this thread would have town believe. The point is WOS's play is indicative of someone who is a struggling third party forced to play the only card in his hand. Comparatively Fuba implies that his revealing survivor means nothing and is uneventful, he acts pretty much like a leaf in the wind, he also claims that scum would receive fake roles but he wouldn't... which is just stupid. Fuba's play looks like fake survivor in the same way that his play as town looked like fake town. What it all basically comes down to is the realization that third party play must look distinct from scum or town, WOS's does, tell me what about Fuba's posting has changed since he claimed? Nothing, because hes not survivor.

Is it just me desperately trying to work out what information WoS could possibly have been given that he can't disclose?

Also this, if survivor was to receive a fake claim does it not make sense that they would get the shittiest one? Seeing as they would not be outright killed upon reveal that they were lying?
Though to be honest, Fuba's miller claim is pretty atrocious but I would argue thats just because of the way the game went down, he would have a much better chance had he received his claim from the start. Objectively Vet is worse because a) you need to try to not look blue or reveal before night 1 or town gets suspicious of why your endangering your own one shot and b) after night one you need to explain why you didn't shoot or why you were role blocked when town had a clear suspect and you were one of the least likely people to be read as blue because day 1 you were trying to not be blue XD.

Again, I've bugged the everloving shit out of iGrok this game, so you're welcome to ask him what and how I can or can't disclose to you guys in more detail. (I was almost modkilled already I think.) I will gladly answer if I get the ok from him.

Wasn't digging at you, WoS, more my own personal battle of frustration and all that ^^
I really think we need to lynch fuba, because if WoS is scum constantly referencing host decisions/orders, it's one of the biggest dick moves of all time imo. Don't wanna go down that path.

I seriously could not care less. Any information that we reveal here scum in tern will posses. I rather we both be in the dark, let them shit they're pants, Wos's info is no threat to us.

Actually scum probably have more of whatever information it is than town. Town having information in the thread is always (almost) better than not having information in the thread ^_^

I'm curious though how you're taking it from the angle of a 'threat' rather than a boon/good thing. Weird mentality.

Yeah I think alot of what you've gone into is pretty unfair for scum XD dont get modkilled, we could use the vote.

Yes its you marv, mostly because if WoS couldve disclosed ANYTHING else, he wouldve done it.
JJD. In a game where the survivor has a proc. If he claims, he is really really likely to get shot in the event of a game where scum arent losing. So when WoS has to claim, he loses.
Anyway, I dont think it matters that much that scum knows which blues town has. So if I were hosting, I wouldve probably given mafia fakeclaims that were definitely true so town cant break the game. And igrok has hosted longer than me.
SO THEREFORE, we should stop predicting host's actions and play the fucking game without thinking of the likelyhood of fakeclaims and no fakeclaims and JUST, in terms of which claim, Fuba's or WoS' is more believable. WoS for me by far. Fuba gives no shits that WoS' claimed his role.

It's tied up with my read on Jar Jar, I didn't like that he was pressing the matter, makes me think scum would really like to know what exactly WOS got.

Lol now I feel like I'll have to try that in my next scumgame. I don't see what's inherently dickish about it, especially since this is kind of game that was created. If it was like Les (where we got fakeclaims) with no named VTs and a semi-closed setup (I think?) then the fakeclaims wouldn't even be in question because there was no way for people to reference or know anything.

If I didn't agree with gumshoe already, this would mean I did in the end

The inherently dickish thing would be making up what hosts did or did not tell you. If everything you've said is true, then you have to be survivor. I think making up shit that hosts haven't said is pretty dickish.

Luckily iGrok steps in later on in the day and I receive some role information that is not my own. See it wasn't the fact the he had to claim. It was the fact that he had no role to claim. As evidenced by the fact that he claims that igrok helped rectify his problem. So try again

I would also say I have a 100% rate for "i think this is too dickish" analysis.

Right. So now you understand what I'm getting at, yes? For you to be mafia you'd have to be telling porkies over what iGrok told you.
