Are you suggesting we avoid a mass claim to increase the chance of cross-kills? Or that we claim and then help wolves find whoever it is they are looking to kil?

Is the patsy revenge kill ever worth more than their survival? In the event of a mass claim, or even being the lynch candidate, should the patsy claim, or claim vanilla?

Johnny, is your primary concern that lutha are win stealers, or that they’ll turn against town if their chances of winning increase with a scum team? Or both because of their weird unforced claims and edits?

How does the 4-person claim work and why is it enough? So the lutha stay in the pool of unconfirmed? Or is your point that there are just 4 confirmable roles left to be uncovered and anything else is just noise?

A mass claim will make it easier for the wolves to hit mafia. Note that if the wolves do get a lead over mafia then mafia will have to start aiming at possible wolves.

Do you think they thought Hooker was mafia?

+1, why? Unless you’re looking for a peace offering of some sort.
