Same reason as ever - town claiming first helps scum avoid fake-claiming a role that's already in the game (especially in a game like this with a list of potential characters).

I have an educated guess about grizzz' role already, so I don't Think this needs to be a concern.

Aight. I'm Karen Page/Foggy Nelson. I've been the one revealing new roles.

N1: went for role 1 to see if the order really was mafia/neutral/town
N2: went for role 8 to try and narrow down neutral claims - was a little surprised it was a town role
N3: similar logic to N2

Cool. Consider yourself promoted to the "Strong Claims" list. May I suggest a role at the bottom of the list for your next research?

I'd really like to know if there is anything backing up malakim's claim too.

I'm pretty sure I know who Mal is, especially if you're the one who got recruited by Kilgrave, and it's a pretty solid claim.

I Think I understand who he is hinting too, but aside from Jessica Jones there is no truly "solid claim" in this game. You, me, Raven and Tony have other things backing up our claims though.

I will vouch for this claim as well. I dragged you night 1.

Assuming we trust ignatz's results on Roy, who of Fred or grizzz do we lynch?

change vote fred

That's where my current gut lies.

I am reasonably sure Fred is scum based exclusively on his claim. He'd be my pick today.
Personally I suspect grizz less than Roy, adam or mal, but I do want him to claim. I do not want him lynched right now.

That's true. If it was a fake claim I'd have expected him to just make it instead of hinting, and I had a bit of a town read him before, but you're right that there's not as much confirmation of his claim as the rest.

Shall we switch to Fred then? He seems most likely to be Kilgrave to me.

Sounds like a good idea.

I'll put my Money where my mouth is.
vote Fredwood
I may need to do an info dump later tonight if grizz doesn't show up...

I'm leaving my vote on Roy for now. Would really like a full claim.
