Welcome to Smogon! Take a moment to read the Introduction to Smogon for a run-down on everything Smogon, and make sure you take some time to read the global rules.
jal i'm going to be real with you you seem a bit suspicious for trying to get people to claim to you directly after being told that we should mech clear
To extend off Sunny, pubclaiming may not be the best option rn so I do agree with you in that front, but I’d say private claiming might be a good lead if we have a Firefighter since both main factions are incentivized to protect them
In my opinion firefighter publicly claiming rn is a good idea, we can’t town confirm anyone and both maf / town are incentivized to keep them alive for fear of arsonist
