Hmm...
I vote for the Darkness. I'm assuming that it won't work, but I'd like to clear that thought from my head before it develops any further.
Mask, can I see what the rules were before they changed?
Peradon, what benefit do you see in a faction claim? If we're dealing with two town factions of four and one third party darkness or something similar, the third party will just claim to be and Avenger or Protector. If one of the two is actually scum, they'll just claim to be in the other faction. Even if it is just two town factions, the claim would just leave it as a 4v5 for a very uninteresting game, which seems unlikely to me.
flabort, I don't see anything out of the ordinary from Peradon. A high post count would indicate town, but it's not as helpful on day one since that's the easiest day to make cases built entirely on bull. His desire for a faction claim is something I disagree with, but not necessarily scummy. Why are you asking about him in particular?
Also, roo has demonstrated that he has no problem whatsoever with acting abrasive towards pretty much everybody when he's scum, so the fact that he's not concerned with irritating people isn't a reason not to lynch him. My reasons for voting him are that one post out of seven in game by him has had any content, and even if he's town I find his attitude distracting, which is not helpful in a bastard game.
Roo, what's your actual justification for voting for Playergamer aside from your claim that he was setting someone up to be able to lurk? How does a lack of emotional responses mean that someone is scum?
