The only issue I can see here is that I would assume we all have to kill the Lich King. It's possible TAC himself has to be the one to do it, I guess. Why claim that now, though? If there is a liar amongst the indie claims, I'm inclined to believe it's him over Flower.
You think the timing of his claim is weird then? Maybe, I'm not exactly sure why he would do it at the beginning unless it's to come clean and avoid unnecessary back and forth later, but this would be dependent on us believing him.
It could be a gamble to get off scrutiny early as well, but coming out and claiming indie wouldn't exactly do that either. So I choose to believe his claim for now and judge him from his actions and thread play more.
@Lindltaylor Thoughts on the Indie claims? After your initial response I assumed you leaned towards not believing one, but you haven't followed it up either.
I'm skeptical but not going to push much. You could be telling the truth or lying, and tinfoiling on which one and pressuring a claimed indie wouldn't be my move here this early since it back fires if you're really telling us the truth.
Would rather judge from thread play and actions and just scum hunt further.
