Quoted from Debbie:
I don't know why I'm being singled out as a "suspicious" role claim. I think mine, being true but to be fair only I can know that, has more of a ring of truth to it than a spitton or a camel or a tosser, or a bartender for that matter.
As you recall, my concern with a mass roleclaim was that the scum would possibly pick up the type of roles that we had. Anyway, to me, the roles would have to fit with "Ye Olde Towne ... stuck in a remote part of the Mid-Western desert".Now, in my humble opinion, the spitoon, the ditch digger, the camel, maybe the bartender fit in. The hotel receptionist is marginal, the Tosser, the colonel and the flowergirl are just plain bizarre. (How many scum, when forced to claim, claim roles from recent games they've either played in or just 'trawled' for a convincing claim?)
Now, I must admit, Ferret's claim, the first claim 'to get things rolling' as he put it, is starting to bother me. Strange that in the Mid-Western desert, where our well has dried up and we've got a ditch digger trying to get us to water, we fortunately are able to fill our homes with flowers... Ferret, the kleptomaniac flower girl, tells us Vis=Rose, Debbie=Tulip, Niempie=Rose: two of these people happen to be dead and their roles known to all of us. (Interesting that Niempie dies the night he investigates her and he still gets a result...) Ooh, he says, maybe the rose is high-powered, tulip is low-powered. Then Debbie claims hotel receptionist, with no power 'as yet'. I mentioned I wasn't convinced, and Ferret says, oh but if there is an "Octopus Lover", then "flower girl" is not strange. I'd say, "flower girl" is stranger, because it's not 'strange enough'. It just smacks to me of a setup. Ferret claims early ('jumping the gun' as noted by Supa), but out of the theme, sets himself up as a cop-type character, clearing Debbie to a certain extent at the same time. Then, he gets us all to claim, revealing our roles and allowing him to decide on the sequence of night kills. UNVOTE for now...
And the neural alignment of Ovidius is also very strange - Niempie
