You didn't claim until just now, when you should have known from day 1 after Roy claimed publicly.
I took the advice given
here:
As for the Scientist, you're the most important role, so do not share your identity with anyone unless you're positive they are innocent. Simply investigating someone is not reliable, as the Mole could have cleared them. Do not invest 100% trust into someone just because their test came back negative, as demonstrated by the events of the previous Mafia game.
For both the Scientist and Mortician, use the information you collect for your own purposes, and try to determine the guilty parties from it yourself. Trusting anyone with this information is retarded since you'll be the Mafia's number one target if your identity is leaked. If someone is getting bandwagoned and you're sure they're innocent, that's pretty much the only circumstance you should consider revealing yourself, and even then it'd be better to only tell one person and have them post the information for you.
It would be simply stupid to try to counter-claim when I had absolutely no evidence, behavioral or otherwise. There is no way I could have sufficiently proved my role at the start of the game, and attempting to publicly state it would achieve nothing but making me a huge target for the Cylons. There was nothing to be gained by such a foolish move.
Which brings me to the question of why Roy has not been killed yet, despite his public Scientist claim making him an obvious target. Even if he had Doctor protection, if the Cylons had any brains at all they would anticipate this in advance and use double or triple hits to bypass it. It is too coincidental that he has not been killed in the past 3 nights, despite the fact that if he really were the Scientist, he would be basically a #1 priority target.
DevliN said nothing when you asked him to save your ass.
I did not ask him to, as you so bluntly put it, "save my ass". Even so, whether or not Excalibur is really the Security Officer is irrelevant to the points I made; he is almost certainly Crew-aligned regardless, and that is all that matters, as he is now dead and can no longer use his powers.
That "eight" clue against you, making it very likely for you to be the seductress.
In fairness, that "clue" was interpreted by Tempz, who is not exactly known for stellar clue interpretations. Not to mention that is far too obvious,
That you have been almost totally inactive until you decided to challenge Roy's claim.
I fail to see the relevance of this, but I have been working behind the scenes until now, when I finally decided that enough was enough and that I should intervene before things got worse than they already are.
None.
