Do I want to ask about the entire Special Ed “Loves the Random page on Wikipedia” backstory? I got a hunch that something happened there. Post restriction ?
OK, it seemed to me you were dismissing fishing as a datapoint all together. I’m not willing to do that. Of the 2 Day 1 Scum lynches I can recall, 1 of them was completely based on a fishing attempt (Evil Dead).
I was an outed Scum. With the urging of my Scum teammates, I flooeded the thread with garbage, including random wikipedia articles. or wikiepedia articles related to a word someone used. It was an attempt to get them to end the Day early. There was also a lot of other trash. pede deleted all my posts though, so there’s nothing left for history to review.
Re-reading Tom Scud; I have to say I fall in line with him. Name claiming right now seems to give too much information to Scum, too easily, too soon. Too many questions still to be asked on everything, but a knee jerk reaction to demand it. **Someone has the upper hand here, in direct regards to name claiming, and I’m not sure it’s Town.

Did you read my post meek? What do you think about that?
i counseled prudence and restraint in my revisionist history mind.
neta: it sure pissed off the town if i recall.
gettysburg will always go down as one of the most hilarious days in a Day that i will ever encounter. i still consider that one of the most brilliant scum machinations to be implemented.
Right. 
Anyway, I’m OK with the name claim thing if that is what we want to do. I agree that we could either use the random order that our names were listed in or that we could use random.org to make the list.
No, I’m not saying we should get rid of it, but rather that it makes for a weak data point rather than a strong one and that we shouldn’t live in fear of scum learning stuff about town, because it’s likely that they either already know or don’t really care.
OK, then you are right, we do agree.
Are you making a joke, or are you just suicidal?
vote peekercpa for blatantly anti-town play.
The Scum thread is still available, where you suggested and encouraged me in what I was doing.
it was your idea 
hey this should help z
Since special ed claimed, I’ll help him get the ball rolling.
All righty then:
I guess we’re going in a random order but here’s mine.

Well, fuck. That’s what I get for posting distracted.
One more time.

Also, the 60 second buffer blows.
The game hasn’t even been going for a day and I’m already playing catch up.
Gosh. This really started fast. It looks like I am a little late to the discussion about whether to name claim or not, and that we are going ahead with the claiming. I can’t see how name claiming can help scum, and I am all in favor of giving town as much info as possible, so I normally would definitely be in favor of name claiming, but with this name?
