Agreed with Jack and Darq on role-pm quoting and out-of game discussion.
16 players here, 5 mafia. Basically a vanilla game; role claims are useless for everyone, except the mafia don, who presumably doesn't have a fake powerclaim. But maybe he does. Either way, claiming is worthless.
Assuming no SK. Would there be a vig? How broken would the game be if there was a vig that got recruited?
I'm trying to run the numbers on whether or not we need to lynch today. It's vanilla, so I'm leaning toward yes. I don't think info generally can be trusted. It's possible the mafia got any or all of the info-gatherers: cop, RT, tracker. HCR meta is to rely too heavily on info-gatherers. So if someone steps up day 2 and says I copped so and so as mafia or I tracked so and so killing so and so, it's not trustworthy. Don got to pick 4 players out of 15, so that's more than a quarter chance any given town role is mafia.
I can't say for certain but I would think if the Mafia drafted a Vig it would be a "booby prize" and not them getting an extra kill at Nite.
I think on info-gathering it depends on how early and accurate. If someone popped up tomorrow saying they're Cop and so-and-so is Mafia it's much more trustworthy then if someone finally revealed himself as a Cop at the turn-point of the game.

Being able to push and pull Day phases is more potent than most powers in this game, and he's solid for that. JoH is a nice blend of Mags' "innocuousness" which then explodes into Ice's aggressiveness so he'd probably be my third. Fourth would be Gfish as he works the mellow angle to stay off radar while gladly tossing people under buses which would help him reach endgame with minimal suspicion.

I've pissed off two people so far and it's day one.
That's not your usual way. Usually you lure people in to a false sense of friendship or trust and then you turn on them viciously. Your innocuous and helpful nature at the beginning makes your turn in the late game so dangerous because it means the townies are more likely to follow your lead.
Yep, if I'd have been the don I would have totally drafted you for that very reason.

I would like to comment on this late night post of mine.
I know Jack was just busting my chops and was giving me a friendly ribbing.
I hold no animosity to him or anyone else. I don't believe in revenge tokens.
It had been a very long day and I was frustrated with the game of Mafia. I apologize for the offense the above post may I have caused. If I can't get ahold of my emotions, I think I might have to give up mafia. Anger just ruins the experience for everyone.
==================
End Appology
==================
Rokk, despite voting for JoH, made a good argument for gfish, anyone else want to jump on the lynch?
