I'm trying to think of the best possible way for us to win as a town..

Right now there are a lot of spells that can be used, and a bunch of spells mixed with roles that can really mess everything up. If I'm reading the rules right the mayor/pardoner positions are actually not as safe as one would hope. If the bus driver is in fact a DE role then that could cause trouble for us (If I am elected I could be swapped with another player and the DE could target the other player, thus killing me without going through any bodyguards.)

Possibility No. 1:
With that said it might not be worth it to have the DT's potentially waste a check on someone who's able to be killed so easily....Now we don't know how many DT's we have in this game... but maybe they should focus on checking out the nominators first. Then we have role blockers... I'm not entirely sure what we should do with these guys. It might be smart (depending on how many we have) to have them block inactive players first and each day rotate who gets role blocked.

Possibility No. 2:
I'm also half-considering the role claiming idea just so we can see what spells we have at our disposal. This would make the bus drivers role pretty weak if we know what our firepower is like, and perhaps we can get aggressive fast. We would need to rally all of the medics and the roleblockers to create a test field to see who can do what. In a game of 20 people there are 4 guaranteed death eaters... and if we all role claim they may attempt to spread out their roles. This is going to require a VERY active town to pull off, and we need to be unified. Also if you're a stump maybe the best thing to do is to role claim AFTER the election is over. This will then assist in organizing lists of townies and we can immediately eliminate you from our searches (please don't let there be more than one actual stump).

I'm really just throwing possible ideas out. I've been sitting here for about 20 minutes trying to think of the best possible strategy, and really what's going on here is an all-out spell brawl. It may be best to unify our efforts so we don't end up piling our spells, and keeping the information out in the open in a game without PM's might be the best idea.

Since BM is letting us name claim, I highly doubt there will be any double name claims. I think it would make this game way too easy for town.

How so? You're not supposed to PM outside of game.

I don't mind name claiming if you are not a mason

because it gives death eaters an extremely easy way to hit blues, and is an even worse idea now that one of our doctors is dead. the benefit for the town is it might put death eaters into an awkward position having to choose names. Also note that masons will either be lying about their name or not claim at all and you have a messy situation to sort through for the town while death eaters are picking off blues! sounds like a wonderful idea to me.

why don't we just let him get modkilled and lynch a far more interesting target?
the likely hood of lakrismamma flipping red is slim to none in my opinion. obviously we can all point fingers at bad players and lynch them for the "benefit" of the town but he doesn't seem red to me. he just seems like an awful green. there's no way in hell people can point to him and say DEFINITE SCUM! i think the people pushing for his lynch are definitely sketchy to me.
