I was not saying that town should not be suspicious of TP, I was saying we should be weary of and look close at someone who randomly raises baseless game mechanic concerns, as same is often used as a tactic to cause confusion and/or create random suspicion on townies. I do not know if Bullish's thoughts were in line with mine, but I too was suspect of That1 when they randomly brought this up, especially having contributed almost nothing outside of this random comment in the game at that point and for awhile after.
She said there was potential for you to be jester, but in the same post said it was unlikely. Waterphoenix actually bought into the theory that you were jester more than she did.
I agree that That1 is suspicious, but also keep in mind that scum has fake claims. They could all have them or some. Unclear from the OP how many or in what combination, but the OP does imply that theme analysis would be foolhardy.
The OP definitely doesn't imply theme analysis is foolhardy, it specifically says " I also gave scum options of fake character + role claims in this game, but you are welcome to focus on theme analysis if you wish". Danielle is a pretty big advocate of mods giving fake claims. Also not sure this means that we can't use any theme analysis, because in a 12 player game there is probably either 3 mafia, or 2 and 1 third bases on common balance practices for 12 player games. The option of role could also mean mafia had to choose between a fake claim or a role claim, which is something else mods commonly do.
The reason I was suspicious of that1 is that it looked like she was setting herself up for a soft claim from a nightmare before christmas, and I think it's obvious at this point based on my PFP that I am Jack Skellington. I was wondering if maybe she didn't pick up on that when she said that. What do you think of her nightmare before christmas post? Am I looking too much into that?
It is notable that White has disappeared likely hoping any heat on him will die down. He dropped one quick rebuttal and is now probably sitting back and waiting until it's safer for him to come back in.
No offense, but in general I find this a bad argument. I find it extremely frustrating when it is used on me too. I play this mostly on downtime at work, and sometimes I get a work call that can keep me busy for several hours and I've come back to see people say "TUF randomly got quiet here thats sus" when there was nothing more I'd have rather been doing that replying to posts in the game lol. That said, whiteflame always answers people in the past, I have no reason to think he is dodging you here because of a slight delay. Also if he is an east coaster it's probably pretty late there, and his availability might not be the same as yours for late hours.
