I just want to point out that this is the second game on Idlemafia that I have an unusual investigator role. In Halloween, my role was odd, weak, and apparently blockable by weird means(look it up; it was weird).
In this one, it is oddly powerful if used correctly.
I've never been an investigator on the Dope, I think. Weird.

So...
KidVermicious votes for Mahaloth because he wasn't putting up a vigorous enough defense.
Then he votes for harmless little bunny for making a self-preservation vote.
Then he rage-quits.
Then he claims a Power role.
But he's still not voting for anyone at the moment.

*sigh* I don't know what's wrong with me. I don't play for a year and suddenly I'm a freaking drama queen. I can simultaneously protect Mahaloth, which is good if he's Town, and remove any excuse he might try to provide for why he got no results, which is good if he's scum. Except you all have forced a claim, so now I won't be any help unless there's a Doc that wants to get my back.
Or you can lynch me, and find scum on my bandwagon when I come back Town. I'm easy. Aren't you the doc?

NETA: aaaaaand as I was reading more posts appeared. You say you aren't a doc, but since your role protects players from any action, I would assume that includes killing. In my eyes, you are a doc, albeit one with additional power.

I think it is just semantics. He can function like a Doc, though he may not be titled that, assuming he is being truthful. I consider 'Doc' pretty much synonymous in the vernacular to 'protective role'. His role as describe has obvious protective applications. I actually think it would make it less likely that we have another full-blown Doc role with the ability to self-protect or choose a target for full protection each cycle. I don't think he is the only protective role we have, but I do consider him as overlapping with the protective features in the balancing.
I've also been heavily suspected (led by a bus by fellow scum) on these very boards over the use of one article over another.

Just a point, Ulla has used both Doc and Archangel simultaneously in games before (IIRC Jane Austen).

Another one I didn't play in and am not familiar with. I'm likely to not share in many of metagame assumptions based on that. YMMV.

I'm leaving my vote on KidVermicious. Here's what he had to say about crazybunny's claim/self-defense vote: So because you're about to be strung up, you're absolved of the duty to, you know, vote for somebody scummy? Vote harmlesscrazylittlepunkerbunny. Busy day for me, I'll try and be back before Dusk. Double standard? Nonsense. He's got plenty of time to find somebody he feels is scummy. Instead, he'd rather drop a role PM, place a crappy vote, and let everybody else do the lifting when it's his head on the block. Self defense is fine when there's 10 minutes to Dusk. That's not the case here, and his behavior is anti-Town. When he changes it, I'll move my vote. In any case, I don't have a problem with the self-defense vote itself. It's the timing (waaay too early, IMO), and that you didn't appear to be inclined to do anything else. You've since worked on developing an alternate case against another player, so I'll Unvote punkerbunny. So, he votes for crazy for throwing down a role claim and a vote to save his own skin, but not voting for anyone he thought was Scum. Then he reiterates that he's voting because crazy made no effort to help the Town find Scum, and adds that it was the wrong time for a self-defense vote. Then he comes back and says he actually had no problem with the self-defense vote, it's only that crazy wasn't doing anything else. Compare that with KidV's recent behavior, in which he threw down a role claim...and that's it. No suggestion of who he thinks is Scum, not even a hint that he might place a vote. And once again, he seems to have disappeared into the ether. Even discounting the fact that he changed his story on why he voted for crazy, he is now engaging in exactly the same sort of bevavior that he voted crazy for. I'm happy with my vote.

NETA: On re-re-read, I don't think KidV is contradicting himself on his feelings regarding crazy's self-defense vote, but merely clarifying.
The rest of my argument still stands, and since the flip-flop was only an aside to my main argument, my vote still stands.

Are you planning to cast a vote? No. I'm still pretty confused (and too busy to figure things out right now) and any vote I would make would be essentially random.

So it's looking pretty good for Scum now. If the claims made have been true, Scum has a pretty clear idea of which players to target in the next couple of Days. And the pool of unclaimed powers has shrunk. It's just a matter of time to see how this will play out.
