First of all, \* dear \*\*\* Guiri \*\* (I see you are now dead- but I will leave the salutation as written)

You snipped my post and removed part of my intent.

“Not sure what to make of it but: Starting Day four it appears that Mafia are focusing their DK on claimed Town/LUTHA roles= they don’t appear to be too concerned at this time with the Wolves.

Wolves on the other foot seem to be killing random non claimed. ( perhaps in an attempt to hit Mafia.)

Should this be considered with a mass claim being discussed?”

I have yet to suggest anything- I brought it up because it might should be considered.  
I am on the fence about a mass claim at this time.

Are \* you \* suggesting we help the Wolves?

good point.

## I think the Patsy should claim vanilla in a mass claim- in a lynch situation, I am not sure. Of course if they claim vanilla and later claim Patsy, we will probably lynch them anyway— so I dunno

“If we entertain it I think all LUTHA should claim before any Town”

LUTHA still need to convince Town that they plan to play pro-Town.  
If Town all claim and remaining LUTHA decide to stay quiet (like they have been) we shoot ourselves in the foots.

At this point  
We would have 6 truly claimed Town- one claimed LUTHA- and [DEL]12 [/DEL] 11 claiming vanillas- I don’t like those numbers so much.

[sub] funny as I was composing this I was thinking- Guiri is probably Scum -[/sub]
