No name claiming is a bit weird though.
I mean, can't I just claim NOT to be [list of all people I am not]?
And how would claiming the name of the role I got even help me? All town names are known, after all, so all wolves would claim a duplicate of a town name.
I see how this would help town. If we were allowed to name-claim, town could force everyone to do so and all people who would refuse or claim a double name, would be suspected of being non-town.
Can we even claim to NOT be anyone? That would eventually allow us to claim names by transition, no?
I guess all we can claim or "disclaim" is roles and alignments then? Then what about characters with a unique role (everyone except the normal neighbours)? For them claiming their role would be practically the same as name-claiming. If I claimed to be the reporter, I'd practically claim to be Hermes and if I claimed watcher, Chiron, and so on and so on.
So Dylan, you can not claim to be or not to be anything anywhere? Then how the heck are we supposed to play this game?
Well... I'd be almost the only one allowed to claim anything at all. I'm just not sure if I can say it out loud.
Oh and, I've only slept like 4 hours tops last night, so if I make zero sense, that is my explanation.
