Oh boy, I was so excited to log on to the old ZD forums this morning. I can catch up on my Flappy Cheep Cheep forum game, talk about some Darksiders, increase my horrible corruption, participate in some day-one mafia RVS ****posting....
What the actual ****.
I can think of no scenario on day one where role-claiming townie doctor (Medics are functionally doctors in TF2, right?) is a good idea, unless there are multiple protection roles, which none of us could possibly know about.
I don't think I've ever played mafia with you, so I have no idea if this is a weird "musicfan-esque" too-early claim or if this is your first game or something. Either way, fakeclaim or not, this isn't really the best thing to do early on.
"Anything you do in mafia can be spinned to be scummy" is true, but this just seems too easy. We either believe you and don't lynch you so you can either be killed by the mafia tonight or live on as scum, the "real" doctor soft claims and is now out in the open or is a mafia fake-claimer who gets our doctor killed, or we just lynch you because it's day one and we have nothing else to do.
Seems like a lose-lose-risk proposition either way, which I don't like.
