My other two heads don't know how to treat a miller claim. It's overall more a town move; unnecessary attention for scum, possibly beneficial for town to not be checked. Then again, maybe they're just looking to draw attention to themselves as a jester. I've only read about half of the thread, but two posts in particular stick out to me:
There was hardly any pressure when this "TPR" claim was made, and it's entirely premature. Sure, given the UPICK, I suspect everyone has some form of night power, but not everyone's will actually be that useful; there's probably a lot of negative utility around as well. The true TPRs are the ones with useful powers. Claiming TPR this early is just... nonsensical, as if asking for even more attention.
Another post, regarding voting for Empathy:
This is the most neutral-sounding sentiment I've seen in a long while. Empathy is certainly concerned with whether or not they're being voted; not talking about anyone's reads or suspicions, just their votes. Survivor and Jester are very concerned with votes, not so much with who's scum. Scum often have a similar concern, being an informed minority. This concern with voting, early in the day and with a small train, is not particularly town behavior. I'll grant you people vote differently at MS, but you've both had enough time here that you shouldn't be hypersensitive to pressure.
But back to that main point: the miller claim. I've already said I like it and that it's generally pro-town behavior. But this is a UPICK, which means setup speculation is actually a useful tool, so let's get into that.
Let's play a game, Empathy. I also have a negative utility part of my role. I want to see how ours compare. How do you know you are a miller? How does it work, exactly? What happens if someone checks you? Does it also affect the graveyard, or just investigative abilities? Did you submit this ability yourself, or was it added in? Was it a modification of something you previously submitted?
I have the mechanics of my negative utility in my last will; don't let Empathy get through the end of the day without explaining how the miller mechanic works.
I'm voting Empathy until I've received a satisfactory response. I doubt the negative utility mechanics of a true FB-style miller can be guessed; they'll either seem like mine, in which case I can clear Empathy as solid town, or they'll be nonsense, in which case, combined with my suspicions highlighted above, I'm going full steam ahead on Empathy.
