Longer nap than anticipated but a longer nap is never a bad thing. Reading, nodding, liking posts, grabbing posts, saw this and thought just quick hit this one.
Bardull, I really don't think you understand, in any sense of the word, that claiming the bad guy doesn't mean anything at all in most mafia games. I have claimed countless "bad characters" as town and have certainly claimed "good characters" as mafia. I can't remember which game it was but the scum-team had a safe-claim of the protagonist of whatever series it is. Ever since, names/flavour/whatever don't matter a lick to me unless it is blatantly obvious which even in those cases I still make sure that every avenue has been covered in it. Stop using "I claimed the main bad guy LOOK HOW SUPER TOWN I MUST BE." because it's a terrible defense and also keeps making you look worse and worse since that's all you are truly claiming to in the end. No one had forced you to claim, you just claimed to claim because you were fearful of something happening to you while you were V/LA.
Just stop.
kary i don't think you really understand how unsafe claiming the main bad guy is.
