Ok, now I'm going to hell again, but I'm still town...
Firstly, my power is that the media are obsessed with me. I pick a player, and Mis posts a headline in the write up. I have no control over what he posts. The headline has a 50% chance of being correct. What about that makes me bad?
Secondly, why would I role claim if I was mafia? It doesn't make sense when I could easily deny it or push it onto Bazzi, who is notorious for not being around. What evidence is there that I'm not town? Some people made a tenuous link and are jumping on it for no other reason than they are not willing to wait and actually have a night phase. It doesn't make sense and being trigger happy is going to get a townie killed. No doubt several of the people involved want it that way
