To Andrew: From the start of the game, you've been flaunting your abilities with softclaims. Day *one* you softclaim a power to stop the Tom lynch. Then you come out saying it's a oneshot day (or night) vig, and your way of stopping the Tom lynch would be to kill a Tom voter. That's questionable at best - why didn't you claim dayvig outright earlier and let the town use it, ala Suikomafia, instead of hanging around, dropping hints and using it on your own judgment? Then you softclaim nightkill protection as well, and gloat about it being successful. Which... we've only got your word for that, and if true, it means there were two kills. Where did the other kill come from, and why didn't it show up night one? Why am I raising these questions and you not?
(On that subject, though, it occurs to me that Chisa's role could be something like mine was in WoT. There might have been only one kill and Chisa saved Andrew... or whoever else. Unfortunately, Chisa didn't claim, so we'll never know.)
*cracks neck* Rawr. Let us tackle this then.
To be frank, I've been using softclaims because my powers are of limited use, and I've been trying to throw some weight around in the interest of helping town and myself as much as possible without lying. The one time kill power... I didn't throw it out day one because it would have been useless there. I likely should have brought it up earlier on day two, and I'll admit, that was a mistake. However, with one use, I wanted to make sure that the double lynch potential (or, if it came to that, me lynching someone) would be effective. Claiming it, after all, is dangerous for me, as last night demonstrated.
To the second point, I softclaimed night kill immunity because I wasn't actually nightkill immune at that point. I had a 50% chance of dodging a kill thrown at me last night. Thus, while I had a fair chance of survival, it was by no means guaranteed. Hence the softclaim. I didn't want to be targeted. I softclaimed to let town know why I wasn't using the power in the last moments of day 2 and try to scare off scum kill attempts. I was, essentially, hedging my bets and trying to put the odds in my favor without lying to town.
To the third point: I implicitly asked those questions in the fact that I did point out we apparently had two kill attempts last night. I suppose I made a mistake in not flat out asking them, but... well, we can't get an answer at this point, so I felt it was simpler to just give warning that we did have two kills out in the open, since, beyond that, it was speculation. Further, I remain convinced it wasn't Chisa saving me, as I was explicitly informed that I dodged the kill.
