Lifthrasil: I explained this several times: because he acted against town. If his role claim is true, his standing guard was a anti-town decision. And the fact that he claimed only after being more or less forced to do so by HighjacK doesn't look towny to me either. And keep in mind that even if his role claim is true, his affiliation with town is not guaranteed. Sure, PGO is more often town than scum, but both are possible. Or, even if he's not mafia, he still might be some other anti-town role (even normal PGO are often considered anti-town). So, I see two possibilities:
1) Robb's role claim is true and he is a PGO. In that case his actions and decisions were still anti-town and therefore I suspect him of being anti-town.
2) Robb's role claim is not true - in which case LAL.
Now it's your turn. Why do you see Robb 'strongly leaning town'? Up to now you only stated that you believe him town, but didn't really explain why.
I admit using his power role maybe wasn't the best thing to do, but I can completely understand his logic in doing so. While it could be seen that HijacK 'forced' him to claim, I'm inclined to believe him when he said he was going to claim anyway and hadn't even seen HijacK's post when he wrote his. It's not like he had posted 20 times today before role claiming. He role claimed in his first post since daybreak. 1) Robb's role claim is true and he is a PGO. In that case his actions and decisions were still anti-town and therefore I suspect him of being anti-town.
2) Robb's role claim is not true - in which case LAL.
Now it's your turn. Why do you see Robb 'strongly leaning town'? Up to now you only stated that you believe him town, but didn't really explain why.
But as to why I seem as town, it's simply because I believe his claim, I think it perfectly explains Twilight's NK and because I can't see a PGO being scum, especially in a Role Madness game as it would be too powerful. He could be some kind of neutral role, but the only one I can think of that would fit is Survivor, but if that were the case I doubt he would have admitted to Twilight's NK and being a PGO, knowing it would likely get him killed at some point.
The only reason I am starting to consider the possibility of lynching him, is that it should probably be done eventually and it might solve the flip question. I believe he is town, so if he doesn't flip on lynch it would suggest the town kills theory is correct. Whereas if he flips town that would appear to suggest it is only scum or neutrals who get no flip. If he flips scum that throws any theories I have about flips out the window...
But I think that's only worth considering if we (mostly) come to the consensus he is town, otherwise we would all disagree on our findings. And lynching him when we consider him town is not a town thing to do...
