@TimTh33nchant3r My request is for you to not flip, for the same reasons as I've previously stated. If you claim cop for example, then the mafia know exactly who to kill (unless there's a doctor hiding somewhere). Although you're likely making yourself a target for mafia anyway by soft claiming some type of power role. I still say it's best to keep our cards close to our chest until we have solid information to go on.
If he role claims, he turns into a vanilla townie. If the Mafia want to waste a turn killing a confirmed townie, they can. There are probably more power roles out there that are worth going after.
