Why claim D2? I don’t have any Clocktower experience, but once the undertaker is claimed it seems so likely they could be poisoned that they stop being at all reliable. Was the information that Rui was a drunk worth it? Since there’s no risk of night kills silencing you forever, I think it would have been safer to wait a bit. Unless you want your very unlucky scum buddy to be able to participate freely.
"It is simple. I had information that I believed would be useful when combined with what the other two 'info-roles' had discovered."
[[I gotta be honest and say that I never really thought about lying low into the late game because the closed setup meant that scum would probably know most of the roles pretty early anyway (I've been mentally thinking of this game as much closer to ONUW than Mafia, mechanically). I thought it would be useful to immediately rule out drunk for both Morgan and Elgyem, and hoped that between the three of us we could pretty much solve the game, so I jumped on it. Obviously being poisoned forever would be unfortunate side effect, but I figured that if I ended up being a poison magnet, then that meant the other two *weren't* and I could basically shield them in a roundabout sort of way. Maybe it was a misplay, but I think lying low wouldn't have changed much since I don't actually think I've been poisoned yet.]]
I've done this method before, having a role and offhandedly mentioning its existence in the game. It doesn't outright sound like a softclaim, just speculation, but it's a softclaim with hindsight.
Glastrier swished its icicle-laden tail. "Spectrier is a fool," it muttered.
[[Ah. That wasn't meant to be a softclaim, although I can see how it'd look like it from the outside. Maybe just never speculating about what roles are in the game is the best play in the future.]]
"I've been turning this over in my head, honestly. 'Cause I pretty clearly fired a warning shot for who I was about to inspect last night, too, which makes the threat a bit more timely. Seeing the horse try to construct a reality in which they are innocent, and serving up reheated leftovers from my currently critically-damaged theory from last night hasn't exactly put my mind at ease either."
[[I missed whatever the warning shot was, but who else would I vote right now
other than Madeline? I already said why I didn't think you or Elgyem were evil, I know I'm not the demon, I have pretty good reason to think Drake wasn't the demon unless I got some seriously weird false intel, therefore I know you weren't poisoned, therefore I think Elgyem
was poisoned. If you think you were poisoned, there's probably nothing I can say that'll change that today, so the best thing I can do is explain my reasoning for my vote and hope it makes sense to everyone, and if I get eliminated then we can try again tomorrow with the new intel.]]
