Earthrealm is the mundane sphere, the netherrealm is the underworld, the outworld is the great void beyond. Chaos and orderrealm are the realms of competing energies, and Edenia is the blissful state at the nexus of all of them. I've also never played these games and just made that up. What are you going to base your vote off of?

Kyle is town because "let's go" is the thing he said when his confidence surged post-mafioso lynch as a civilian.
Sloonei is town because he's already trying to facilitate true to form.
Quin is mafia because he called Kyle's question "good" without clarifying why he cared about the question or why it moved him.
good opening question because it could lead to information that might favour our poll choices today. seemed obvious.

Votes in this poll are not changeable.
I legitimately haven't played in a mafia game with a day 0 poll in years.
The way it used to be was that sometimes certain factions or roles would gain a small early advantage from certain poll choices, and sometimes certain roles would have information on which choice would be the best. I can't see Epig doing that though.
I can see epi making the different locations having implicit benefits to certain roles though. Like earth sphere being good for earthen punchboys, and the nethersphere being good for demonic types and zombie pigmen, edenia is probably good for like snake people or maybe celestial angel dudes or something etc etc etc.
or maybe the poll is just an inconsequential time keeper with no actual real game meaning
Theory: each "realm" is associated with some subset of the characters. This is evident at least in "Outworld" being the name of the mafia team. I suspect Epignosis may have drawn from his own hosting history (Transistor) wherein the "winner" of the poll results in some kind of information being revealed among the pile of ???s in their roles. If true, it'd be swell to reveal something about the bad guys.
It's an educated guess, so if y'all have other theories then by all means stick 'em in here. I definitely don't think the poll is inconsequential.

that didn't work. i wasn't gonna vote now anyway, so maybe itll sort itself out in the meantime.

I'd agree that the visit realm options would probably effect the roles from their associated realms.
I think Jay's explanation makes sense. Especially if there's historical precedence for it. When I think of Epi's hosting philosophy I think of the word "balance", and secret reveals are less likely to effect the balance of the game then like.... bonus votes or extra protections or whatever else. Plus with this many secrets it makes sense that there might be a mechanic to reveal them over the course of the game.

In Transistor, the night polls were used to "research" unique game roles called "Process elements". The Process was an independent and anti-civilian role, and it was occupied by... nijuukyugou (our present co-host).
Now, it's possible this game was entirely designed before Transistor was ever played. I dunno.

which thing?
Night polls resulted in a roles list being published on the OP in the order of however people voted each night. Obviously if the poll is anything like that it'll be something else.
