I'm not sure whether you're being really smart or really stupid. It's either playing checkers with cheerios or playing 3-D chess.

I don't know how I feel about your "strategy". But scum can't be that stupid can they, or maybe it's reverse psychology.

Dwight Schute at cop makes more sense than Jim at Vanilla.

That means GP is a power role and hiding it or he is scum, I’m leaning A

It's good to be playing in another mafia game after so long...

My character is Toby Flenderson... I'm not gona role claim since it wouldn't be prudent at this juncture... I win with the town

Reading through the DP there isn't a whole lot of behavior that sticks out to me as particularly scummy or townish, aside from the "A.J." claim from SirAnonymous. The obscurity red flag is worth keeping in mind as we get more character claims.

The mod said this "Roles may or may not be related to characters."

I am sure there is some thematic element, but that qoute makes me not wanna look to into it. Also the type of show this is, seems like it would be pretty hard to say which character is a power role or not given that all characters are wierdo non powerful humans in an office setting.

Some could be pretty random, but Dwight as cop and my character's role make sense, so I'm inclined to believe there is some logical justification - even if it isn't explicitly explained in role PMs. The power role dynamic should also be fairly logical regardless of the setting (like Michael, Jan, California etc)

Also warren seems the type of mod who cares about balance more than thematic relevancy. I had to do the same in my Dark Crystal game. Some characters who arguably deserved more of a power role, "Deet" for example, were vanillas for the sake of balance. However I still had some characters with thematic roles. Character claims will still be useful for CC's, etc. But I wouldn't focus to hard on role justifications.
This is a valid point and I don't know Warren's mod style, so it is probably best not to get too hung up on this... Still, overtly obscure character claims like Sir's make me nervous....

@Greyparrot
I am vanilla because everyone loves me as a salesman
Is that literally your justification or is that what you interpreted the justification to be? 

For example was it closer to ex: A or B

Ex A: you are Jim Halpert, because your just a well loved salesman, you are a simple vanilla.

Ex B: you are Jim Halpert, a well loved salesman. You are vanilla.

My character is A.J.
Same goes to you. Is there any sort of bridge between your character being A.J. and being vanilla?  Or are you just A.J. and vanilla?

Who’s yall’s Policy if we don’t get a consensus ?
My personal policy is to jump on the biggest bandwagon of anybody I don't have a town read on. I am okay lynching null reads to shrink my scum pool
