The fact is, you did not claim miller, you claimed amnesiac. A miller knows their alignment, while a forced-amnesiac's is yet to be decided. Why do I put this "forced" in? Because a standard amnesiac would play much like a town would as it is in their best interests. So your play makes no sense as a town gambit.

As scum, it is very basic. You WIFOM your way to day 2, whereupon you switch the scrutiny off yourself.

If you really did get that as your rolecard, AND you are planning to play as if you are town... I can only conclude that you messed up.
I can tell you with 100% certainty a miller does not know their alignment in this case. The fact is I did not claim miller or amnesiac. What I was given is the equivalent of the two roles, so If you are saying I claimed amnesiac, I am not sure how you can say I am not claiming miller.

Why would I need to WIFOM to day 2.... I don't get lynched... and there was no pressure on me or anyone as the game had just started.

It is a play that does not make sense as either alignment, but if someone was dumb enough to do this, is always mafia.

I am playing as if I am a town currently, yes. Maybe it is a mistake, but I am playing the 71.4 vs 28.6% odds, and I think that it is correct. I really do not know what you would want someone in my slot to do. Do you just want me to afk day 1 since everything I do is NAI at best, or scumread at worst?

Mafia fake claim winning plays, my claim is not a winning play, it is a sad reality.
