Like I mentioned, we need to be more careful with roleclaims this game. Any of those could be a bog-standard "madman" or even a warlock despite how convincing they are. A motivation is easy to fabricate as both of us already noted.

there's a similar likelihood of a given one of them being safe as with any random clown we bandwagon.

Although, to be honest, that still leaves us in the situation of who are we suppose to lynch?

Wow, I go to sleep and come back to thirteen pages.

Anyway, from what it seems, unless Dagenev has that as a mafia power, he pretty much validated himself by opening his bag of tricks.

I'm not too inclined to believe Silvanus on his roleclaim entirely, but that's mostly because of the slip-ups - which he admittedly did try to explain, but misreading can too easily be an excuse used to shore up a shady roleclaim. If you're going for leader, what you probably shouldn't do is skim your role and build your case on something you're not sure about. And I notice that in the final roleclaim, Silvanus didn't mention anything at all about his hooker attire. Didn't he claim that it enhanced his power? I don't know. Smells fishy to me.

Vote: Silvanus for the time being, unless I missed out something while combing through all those posts.

By that token no roleclaim can ever be accepted. I suppose that's one position to take for this game, but I think it leaves lynchees in a shitty position because as soon as the bandwagon roles there's no way to stop it. I don't know that I agree with this particular
I disagree. A convincing roleclaim is more likely to be true. It's not necessarily true, but if it's convincing it's more likely to be true. In stark contrast, a random bandwagon selected leader is under no such improved odds. You're still dealing with the base 4-5/16 chance that they're scum, whereas the possibility that any given claimee is scum is a bit lower, on that inherent advantage to having a convincing roleclaim.

Daganev has revealed that he is after airship plans. This is a key piece of information in his claim. My own goal is to acquire the Chalice of the Goddess, which is apparently sacred. You gave a vague answer of riches, which doesn't mesh up with my information as well as Daganev's does.

For reference, I'm Glindor the Water Mage, from the Highlands of Heruedur. And despite being a mage, I seem to have devoted myself to the Goddess of Water. I've got blue robes, and a pouch containing several herbs. I've got Water Magic as an adventure power.

I'm assuming that it's "mage" that's specified and not "priest," because I don't have any healing abilities. If you're a priest, don't frigging tell people, please.

It's not that we can't believe them at all, we just have to be more careful than it seems to me like you are being.
Anyone know where Thul's roleclaim is? I'm not seeing it, only Dag/Silvanus/Visaeris.

Anyway, even if we concede that it's going to be 1 of those 4, and they're all innocent probably, there's still the strategy question of whether we want you (not going to die to day/night kills anyway MAYBE, you say probably not lynch but aren't sure), Daganev (potentially useful items, would need protecting as confirmed useful townie anyway so it doubles up), Silvanus (useless so we don't care if he dies) or Thul (no idea since I don't know where his claim is.)

Silvanus's claim is worse to me in this regard, it should be noted.

Now, I could just be mistaken in thinking that everyone has a specific purpose in taking this trip, but at this point I suspect that you had to come up with that motive on the fly. If everyone else has similarly vague goals, and it turns out that only a few of us have specific ones, I'll lay off that line of thought, and probably recast my nomination. But that'll require confirmation from a few other people.
