Well originally I thought I was the only power remaining (i.e. the killed if lynched thing) so I thought I could rely on my super powers of always coming under suspicion and getting lynched, claim when under pressure and then if I got lynched anyway use my counterkill on someone on my bandwagon.

As you can see that worked out brilliantly.

Later in the game though I was getting cold feet - I quoted the posts in my claim but to recap, I started canvassing for a claim. No one really seemed to be going for it though so I sat tight.
