...So does that mean you think those comments are scummy? I'm having a little difficulty parsing you here.

At the time, TMor's comments about Wind made me raise my eyebrows because I thought Wind was scum then. And it seemed like a pretty blatantly different interpretation than mine of Wind's meta. But now I don't think Wind is scum and am sort of conceding that people can just have differing impressions of other people.

Also interesting to assume that a scum would lie and say they're on Team Jesus. Do you then also think Jesus is Town?

This reminds me of the time I was scum and town talked about how the OP clearly said scum were given fakeclaims and it took all my energy to keep myself from posting "No we didn't."

Given Wind's claim about being a flavor Jesus impersonator? If Jesus isn't a red herring then yeah, absent more info about whatever cop is looking for Jesus who'd find Wind a red herring, I think it's more likely than not.

That's not really where I was going with that at least. It would also probably not box in anyone since you can post literally anything tied to the source, and if anything the consistent focus on flavor claims so far this game is a little unusual?

Hello yes I heard there was a lovely trainwreck here and...

To answer the question in a straightforward way, I'm pretty sure that Josef would not make the game flavor-solvable and so not give the scum some way to avoid having to come up with a fake claim out of whole cloth. But if you don't agree with that then massclaiming to go for the flavor solve seems like a solid way to wrap it up.

You can but it rarely goes well in my experience to try and create an entire fake flavor out of nothing. Hence many, many, many games give scum some way to blend in so that if town try to shoot for a simple way to make scum stand out like flavor, scum aren't caught off guard. That and town alignment wording are both agreed gotchas that aren't generally fair to scum to have to run the risk of running into and having their lie game defeated over not being able to mind-meld with the creator and come up with things that sound like they mesh with their aesthetic.

If you believe that claiming to love Jesus is proof of towniness and scum don't have fakeclaims then we should all massclaim flavor and yeet the least convincing flavor player. OR we can instead acknowledge that it's probably not that simple and go back to voting over reads.

If you read my further posts closely you'll see I don't actually think this is a good idea, that I think your take that it's suspicious to believe it's an extremely reasonable given that scum have fake claims is dumb, and that I'm taking the devil's advocate route to explain why. Fake claims are a proven way to evade flavor solving games and it's goofy that you're like "whaaa?" at taking it for granted that scum have them.

There are games where scum don't have fake claims, sure. This might even be one of them. It's stupid to believe somebody who assumes scum have fake claims anyway is suspicious entirely on those grounds because scum pretty commonly have fake claims and get informed of town's win condition to the point that it is ridiculous to not consider it a safe assumption until its proven otherwise. If you are sure you're right anyway then vote me. I have half a mind to start up a game where all of town will have completely differently worded win conditions as a baseline.
