mastahcheese: Here's why I claimed miller:
To elaborate, claiming it the very first post of your game- and making it your meta- does several things. If it's a true claim, then it's right out there in the open for everyone to know. It tells people that alignment inspecting you will return a scum result, so go inspect elsewhere. The big reason is in opposition, though. If you are one- or are scum- claiming Kook [Paranormal's version of Miller] after someone claims a guilty inspection on you is very unlikely to convince people not to lynch you. The goal is to turn it into a null tell; something that is acknowledged and then moved on from.
Besides, people should be trying to figure out whether my claim is legitimate or not. That is kind of the whole point of town play: figuring out who is trying to fake being town.
MyOwnWorstEnemy: Miller gave me a point, which was useful for my build. And there's no significant harm from the flaw: Alignment Cop, the only effected power, is ridiculously overpriced compared to Infallible Alignment Cop. Also, it lets Ability Cops confirm me.
Tack: I'd get one person, if I had a rookie on the team, to join the anti-Miller forces. Beyond that, miller plans at the scumteam level are probably best done in the pre-game, power-determining stage, and I haven't thought scum roles through quite enough to give a good answer.
NativeForeigner: Lurking is wrong.
Tack again: NativeForeigner was last on the forum 6 hours before the day even started. Give the game at least a day before throwing out lurking accusations, please.
TheDarkStar: On Bloodthirsty: Depends on whether the person with it plays responsibility. If it encourages players to better argue their cases, good. If people bandwagon for points, bad.
My god, the newbie reads I'm getting.
