To clarify what my sometimes obtuse partner is saying, we originally planned to share all info to get out in front of the miller claim, but we see this as a good opportunity to help verify Flux's claim of a name cop.

Remind me how a Miller helps verify a cop that can't see alignments

I am not willing to take the risk of a miller. This can only be bad for town unless you can get verified by a bunch of different people. Even then, I don't want you to make it far.

Could you talk about your role a bit, the tracking part specifically?

If there's one thing I can't stand, it's voting for a miller because they're a miller.

Give them a chance to be worthwhile at least, especially if they have a tracker ability.

Are people really claiming the first day?

Really?! REALLY??!?!?!

I really want to get Time to get in on the conversation, this feels like a weird gambit.

Look, I'm sure they can be valuable. But unless we can get them proven, beyond the shadow of a doubt, I would choose to lynch them. If they can be proven as they are suggesting, then I might relent, for now though my vote is there.

I would, as mentioned earlier, like to know the details of their tracking ability.

What's so ambiguous about a tracking ability? What possible town aligned benefit could there be to elaborating?

If any part of this is confusing it's the miller, but I don't think there's a useful explanation for that just yet

Why did you vote on Rest/Karu, Flux?

unvote

I'm still not particularly enthused by Gorlak so far, but he's not doing anything that's making me lean scum either, yet.

I'm going to wash the dishes now.

I want this whole mess to be sorted by the time I get back!

Or else no sex for Splinter tonight!

Well, that's quite the start...

I'm currently on mobile and away from my glorious clicky keyboard, so I will keep this brief for now and elaborate later. Day 1 role claming always rubs me the wrong way, so I am far from happy about this turn of events. I don't buy any of them as of now. Will wait to see how this plays out a bit before placing a vote.

unvote:

so:

1) if Flux was a bold scummer, why not let the doctors heal him? good way to bait.

2) i don't know how rock solid the miller idea is, but if it's a specific title and timeflux can confirm it, well that's something worth considering I think.

HOWEVER~!

My guess is reaction baiting. I'm not sure I believe any claim that early, but Mafia is a game of talking and we can always get info straight from the horses mouth so...

Vote: FluxWaveZ
Why did you claim this now, in your intro post? If you're a cop, why wouldn't you wait until at least Day 2 when you have someone else who could confirm your role for you?

I cannot help but find the reactionary votes from this pair.... how shall we say... unusual? Both rather quickly. Both on different individuals... Is this love speaking from your hearts? Or perhaps it is something else...? "The risk of a miller", you say? Do you actually feel, deep down, that such a risk exists when the knowledge has been revealed to all?

The butterflies in my stomach turn at the thought of questioning another; for surely love shall transcend all and win out, no? But alas... these butterflies are there, and they must be dealt Or else love shall fail to conquer, and all shall be lost. I will retire with my significant other for now, and come back pure of heart!

Flame I can't read well, I've seen him in other games and I rarely agree with him on issues, though yes. The reaction to the Miller wasn't great.

Coppa's vote seems more of a 'put pressure to respond' type deal for Flux. Theres a post here and there I don't like though, I'm watching him.

The miller pair, if they're telling the truth about tracking, will have opportunities to help town and prove their worth (or not). Day 1 isn't the right time to judge them.

I'm going to wait for Time to chime in before passing judgement on this situation, but I can say with some degree of certainty that there being a Role Cop and a Miller in the same game is not something meshes very well. One or both of these roleclaims are false.

This game is already fucked

Also, Miller = presence of alignment cop, not role cop

I'm going to the cinema now, bye

Aww I wanted to see them "confirm" each other before we spell that part out.

Mind you... Volcano Island had both role cops and millers... I don't know if that's a point for or against their claims though

Not necessarily a response to you, but, I think that pure millers can only serve to bite us later on. Granted they claim miller/tracker, so they could have even more use than vanilla miller. If they're verified then great, I'll move on from them.

To answer Sophia, I get why millers come out at the beginning of the game, but you say that all has been revealed, I'm just not as trusting of claims I suppose. I feel the same way about the Flux name cop.

So when do you think we should examine them further? Wait until Day 2 or 3 when we could have other leads? If we can verify them via the name cop then I'll be satisfied. If we all want to save them for later, that's okay, but we should at least keep them in the back of our minds for future days.
