What useful information is gained from claiming names if you're not claiming roles anyway?
interesting. so if you think it could brng nothing useful to town, how would it bring more to antitown? because basically what you are implying if i understand well is that we would have more to lose and less to gain.
I am implying nothing.
You're assuming if I ask a question that it must be rhetorical, and that there must be some hidden implication. There isn't; it's just a question. This is my fourth mafia game, and I didn't win any of the previous three, so I'm just figuring things out as I go along.
I can see what use there is in claiming roles, and I see what use there is in claiming nothing at all, but I honestly don't know what use there is in a compromise measure. What will we know from a name claim that we don't already know? It's my question, and it is NOT rhetorical, but really a question.
In betiko's defense, Duka, I assumed your question was rhetorical as well, especially since you said the idea of a nameclaim without roleclaiming makes no sense to you.
A roleclaim might force town power roles to fakeclaim in order to avoid being targeted by scum or the SK at night.
A nameclaim without roles would give us an idea of who is town and who isn't without potentially revealing town power roles to the scum and the SK.
I could very easily be wrong, but that's the way I see it.
