How would you test it? And why are you so back and forth in this post?
First you say "I'm willing to test his claim." then "My vote stands." then "It should be tested."
Well? Do you want to lynch him or test his claim? Is lynching him how you would test his claim? I got to say this post from you gets my scumdar going.
On another note, I'm not willing to lynch him (Some7hing) without a counterclaim. His claim doesn't sit well with me but I'm not willing to take the chance.

This.
It doesn't make sense to lynch the only claimed doctor. If we're worred about whether or not he's insane, he doesn't have to target people for now, but lynching him does not seem right to me. I've already been burned by this.

So im kinda as clueless as everyone
I wouldnt be surprised if I was a flip and not told about it
Or that there is an sk as Hyde so it's a secret to me as well
Either way I don't even know so I wouldn't be any help

Have we as a community forgotten the concept of a fake claim? Whether one was provided or not, most are very good and do exactly this -cause extreme confusion-.
I believe it to be a fake claim. If it were a doctor, I do not feel that the mod would even think of causing this much confusion unless the Mafia were at a disadvantage. I don't know, it just isn't something I want to leave. We have delved too far into this to give him a bye. Before his claim, there were tons of people ready to lynch. But I noticed a trend of the players who were first on his case, and first to back off. I will type it up tomorrow morning. Because I can already see my death tonight whether the players I accuse are the Mafia or not.

SO you don't mind potentially risking the doc?

chapcrap wrote:I have already stated why I backed off the vote.
You're right that mafia can have fake claims and most of the time they do these days. I just find it unlikely there is not a doctor in a game this size. Has CLEVER given off scum tells? Yes, but he's also new, so who knows what it means?
chapcrap wrote:I'm not sure what CC means, ghostly. What are you saying?
I'm with the group that doesn't want to risk mislynching a doctor.
DoomYoshi wrote:Testing a claim by lynch isn't actually testing it.
To test it, one would come to a conclusion regarding whether or not the claim is to be believed IN ORDER TO ACT UPON THAT INFORMATION.
While you are correct that it is a test since we will know whether or not he is scum by lynching, you are missing out on the whole in order to act upon that information. We can't make a decision whether or not to lynch him based on what happened when we lynched him.

strike wolf wrote:Ghostly, I'm not sure you understand the importance of a doctor claim. It is one of the few claims that you do not lynch unless you're more than 90% sure that the person is scum. It's beyond pretty much any other role that you just don't lynch casually even more so than cop. It's not unusual at all for people to be this highly cautious about lynching a claimed doctor.
Hmm, I think I am basically going to have to agree with ghostly here. (Which feels kind of weird as usually everything he says makes me think scum.) I am personally okay with lynching SomethingClever at this point. I accept the possibility that we might be lynching our doctor as I simply don't think the risk is even that great at this point. SomethingClever has been king of scummy at the beginning of the day and that lead us to his claim. As for the claim itself, I think that there is a decent chance that it is a fake-claim and that the accompanying weirdness originates in SomethingClever not considering the possible implications of what he was claiming. Since opinions on doctors making a counter-claim are divided and that we have three players who haven't posted since his claim, I don't think we can even rule out the possibility that there is another doctor who hasn't made a counter-claim. (On this note, TAILGUNNER, could you prod pancakemix and maybe Victor Sullivan? Also, in case you missed it before, la galleta is guested and needs to be replaced.) Also, should his claim be "true" I am not sure if we can really ever trust him given the flavor. There doesn't seem to be any desirable way that we can prove that his existence isn't causing Mr. Hyde to being killing people in some shape or form. Some people have suggested that to mitigate any risks from him that we should ask him not to use his powers. While this would prevent any deaths by his hand if he is a CPR or insane doctor, it wouldn't stop him either turning into or being linked with a serial killer or something. What it does if leave us in a situation where his character is so untrustworthy that whatever potential powers he brings to the town have been marginalized to a vanilla townie equivalent at best. So, do we really have that much to lose if we turn out to be wrong about this lynch? I mean I understand and conventionally agree with the hesitancy to lynch a claimed doctor, and I see that even lynching a useless town aligned role is never a good result. However, in this situation, I think that it might be the most efficient option that we can reasonably pursue at this juncture. Vote SomethingClever.ghostly447 wrote:Test by lunch was my thoughts. I have not swayed a bit. My thoughts have always been to test by Lynch on him. The claim doesn't sit well. And why in the hell would it help to have another doctor come out? Another doctor for them to kill during the night are those the intentions of the town? Not talking about just you there have been other to suggest it.
We need no counterclaim from another doctor. That defeats the purpose of our power roles staying hidden and defending or watching or following their thoughts on a good lead.
Oh yes, expressing the sentiment that the mafia will surely kill you for being able to see the truth. There's the scum sense triggering ghostly that I know...ghostly447 wrote:I believe it to be a fake claim.
