I see it the opposite way. He's panicking and claimed that, perhaps at the advice of one of his teammates. Still my only scum read

Hmm interesting. But he would have to be on a team with an experienced player. Why would any of us claim BP in that situation?

If you're actually BP, the one thing you don't want to do is claim BP.

So I wouldn't full claim, and I wouldn't not full claim, so what would I need to do? LIE?

You already revealed your species, which took most of the pressure off you.
By further claiming to be BP (if that is your real role), you're actually being detrimental to town.
The whole point of being BP is luring mafia into NKing you, thereby wasting their NK.
Mafia obviously won't do that now since you completely blew your cover.

Next time you play, I suggest being a bit of a lurker (just not a pure lurker).

Also if you're not scum this time, I hope you get to be one soon; as it's an important perspective in understanding the game.

As a hypothetical imagine you're scum, and I just outed myself as Bulletproof. You now know not to target me. Similarly, if I out myself as Vanilla, I'm also a waste to target (less so than bulletproof, but still not ideal). Imagine then that Speed and Press also out themselves as Vanilla. That would tell you to narrow your eyes toward the dessert section to kill the town power roles.

Of course people do lie about their roles, but there's a general rule of Lynch All Liars (which is to say that baring no better tell, we'll start lynching the people who have been caught in any lies).

My first real game of Mafia. You were running the game, and Supa was my scum buddy. It was an invaluable experience.

I don't think things are going to progress further on DP1. So considering my earlier analysis (#90), and only one person scum slipping since then...

WTF?

you're telling me that your town and you're happy to axe a very likely BP?  and long before the end of day one?

uh-oh Ragnar, you stink.
What happened to Mr.  "ho-hum, we have bags of time?"

For suspicious early hammers, personality shifts, and all-around knuckle dragging:

Generating reactions is important. Having watched some of his long delayed responses while he was on, makes me wonder if he was waiting for feedback from a buddy. And finally reading up on the lore, Yehat defected to the hierarchy;  a civil war later split them into two groups, with one still loyal to our enemies (https://wiki.uqm.stack.nl/Yehat_Royalists).

And yes, I do believe our host revealed who the enemy is (#29).

20 hours remain in the DP.

Ahh... fight the Ur-Quan! Win back our freedom! I remember having such thoughts myself... once, a long time ago. But that was in the first years after the defeat, when it was still terrifying to look up and see the bloody glow of the pulsating slave shield overhead. Through day and night we gazed up at that impenetrable wall as though the sheer power of our hatred would pull it down. But over the years, I spent so much of my time struggling -- down on the surface under the shield and then later up here, trying to keep this station alive -- that I'd forgotten what it means to be free... to hate our Ur-Quan Masters!

Well at this point, User's role is as pointless as dirt. Should we look for another lynch, or pressure with User. We don't have infinite time

Or maybe my thinking is off, after all TUF did say that I have no clue what I'm doing after 2 years of playing

I am OK with an User lynch at this point. His role becomes useless at this point. I also think his BP claim is still fishy. He was also hesitant to claim his role, which means he could be lying. I have a gut feeling that someone that's a decently experienced player guided him to claim BP to build a noob town cred for him claiming. I think he is a safe lynch candidate for DP1.

When someone says full claim, you give your role as well, it took him maybe a page to do that. I think that's indicator of thinking of a role.

Aight let’s get this over with. Hopefully more information tomorrow. My main FOS are Warren and Supa for claiming way too early for my liking. But with the general consensus I will vote User
