I don’t think Possessed was saying only scum notice to soft claims. He pointed out that scum usually pay more attention to soft claims than town do.
I agree with this. So why were you looking for softs?
If you weren’t looking for softs, why did you think that town wouldn’t see my soft either?
This logic doesn’t follow. You shouldn’t be in a scenario where this happens as town. It is extremely likely that you are scum for pushing it.
If the right protective notices your soft then you are fine. 9 times out of 10, they don’t…and this applies to Veterans too because THEY ATENT LOOKING FOR SOFTS.
Bro, you’re claiming to be a protective, right? So then this argument is doubly bad, as you can just protect me in the night and nobody will be the wiser. Your play doesn’t remotely make sense from a town POV.
Your soft wasn’t subtle. Be that as it may, others might not notice it…but you can bet scum will unless they are new. Rather not chance that if you were legit.
“New player with no knowledge of the setup mentions specific role -> must be that role” is so level one that I struggle to imagine any player with half a brain at least briefly considered it before dismissing it because the other half of their brain realized it was a stupid idea
so protect them instead, and don’t publicly claim that you think a player softed?
Once again, this shouldn’t be a real thought from a town POV.
I was just about to remark something regarding this. Poss’ play is baffling and makes no sense from a V PoV, but at the same time it’s not really accomplishing any wolf agenda either. He did something similar to this in Evolution Mafia, but it was done as he was trying to pull a ML on a low-hanging fruit. Here… I just don’t see any reasoning why W!Poss would repeatedly get into a heated argument with you about your softs as it furthers no agenda.
Quick question, why are you insisting so much on Fola to clarify if he’s actually softing or not?
I don’t see why Possessed would out your possible soft if he were groupscum - he would just tell his buddies in scumchat.
You think Possessed NK here then?
The idea is as scum they want to confirm whether or not it was a soft
I was thinking that were he a wolf he would most likely be a Neutral Evil being that he clearly doesn’t care about his survival and that his goal here is to out Paladin/Sheriff claims to the Cult/Unseen.
A NK would never bring so much attention to themselves like this.

hence the discussion about having me just roleclaim, which even I, not even having played a full game, thought wouldn’t be a good idea since flips can accomplish just as much as a paladin roleclaim
Im placing WiFoM on you, similar to what Marshal did by asking Luxy for swear fealty. WiFoM is infinitely better than an actual protect because scum might not want to chance it.
Now? You might be healed by me, you might get a king guard, you might get a night guard, you might get an observer on you…who knows. That’s for scum to figure out.
You’re welcome.
If Possessed was starting evil, why would he go out of his way to point out how scum pay attention to soft claims more often so they can get night kills? It would be counter productive to his win condition to do this if he were scum.
Scum can wifom it without your help.
I don’t think scum would go this far into trying to bring a hardclaim out, especially on his current status, though. He’s already a consensus wolfread, so it’s suicide for him to bring the thread’s attention into himself.
