Unpack this lack of trust you have towards each voter please. I wish to see the degree to which this is true.

Voters:
Lucy: she’s a cleared civ, but I haven’t agreed on a lot of reads + I hate the idea of following them for being cleared.


RondoDimBuckle: The vibes are off. I also don’t like the lebel of hypothetical they’re playing at. I recognize this could be a play style clash but it seems like they’re trying to people up.

For example. He asked me which out of 5 are the most bad then wanted me to build a case. Well out of five I gave an answer, but that doesn’t mean I think any are bad per say.

Stay positive: they’ve been super present but I have zero memory of any posts. That isn’t someone I’d want to CFD with


MacDougall: imma not trust you until phase 2-3

Bereft: same as Stay positive but I can’t even recall seeing to them post and I’ve been fairly active.


Now I’m not saying they’re all or even that any are mafia. I just don’t support the wagon enough to change my vote

MacDougall wrote: ↑Fri Jan 06, 2023 7:36 pm This game has all the traits of tvt violence and in a way that would be quite difficult for the mafia to justify getting involved in. Players like Wilgy, Roxy and Falcon are coming across like they have an obscene amount of town self entitlement even if I disagree with them (and was scumreading them), and on the flipside so does Baudib, Lucy etc.

What is the major hypotheses being debated?

Alison is mafia
Lucy should be trusted/listened to
A giant group of players who are opposite aligned to Alison are all scummy/bad/wrong/annoying

What is not being discussed?

Fingersplints is scummy as hell
Kate didn't get any townier at all
SPF's casing of Creature is being largely ignored and if he was town, I'd expect the mafia to be shining a lot on it
Tutuu/Neon capping early
Rondo's weird as hell holding of the Oracle claim

I am very tempted to townread and largely ignore everyone who is giving heaps of fucks about the former set of theorum and want to cast my glare at the people who are more passive at the moment, particularly those whose names are in the above.

This is a bit reactionary, but I don’t like Lucy’s insistence here it’s game over or “throwing” if Alison is voted. No one person is game ending.

I did not plan on voting her at the time. I said I thought it was a playstyle clash. But I also think now one of those need to resolved or else it will plague us the entire game. And I like the posts of the other players with votes more than her.
And also yes, I disagree with Lucy’s posts

How can anyone read this justification and think that is legit?

@Dennis - explain this vote please

A lot of his arguments are very ???? to me and rely almost completely on Alison being town. Which is like, what do you do if that person is bad as civ. Which is why I think it could be TMI.

MacDougall wrote: ↑Fri Jan 06, 2023 8:03 pm It's just really really strange. I don't know how to unpack that in a game where Lucy is being treated as an inno child, and SPF and I are pretty well in our town meta, we're mostly being ignored while the syndicate meme gang all try to kill two players all three of us have been townreading strongly.

I'm just trying to think of a way that the continued existence of the Alison and Baudib wagons exists given the aforementioned and I think the correct answer is that it's either a mix of wrong town with opportunistic scum voting with the,. If Alison and Baudib are really mafia, there is enough town defense of them occurring and town trying to chop elsewhere for the mafia to have easily killed those wagons by now imo.

Because If I am scum the person I am voting is more or less likely as town? You should have an opinion on who I vote if you think I am scum. You have an opinion on me it should effect your opinion on what I am doing and the fact that you match. This is a strange response @Kate unpack please

i'm voting fingersplints because she said that she thought alison and roxy were T v T but then positioned herself to vote alison anyway because the "wagons need to be resolved", which does not feel like a thought or an action that is likely to come from someone who has any actual interest in solving the game or pursuing her own reads

in fact, i want to say that if fingersplints is mafia then alison and roxy are both hard spewed town because this looks transparently like finger setting herself up to push on alison and roxy back to back

I apologize for delay, I've been dealing with some stuff since I got up.

Ok, someone pointed out a situation I hadn't considered, which I appreciate. Unfortunately there is a balance issue with the Godfather, so what will happen instead is no chop will happen if the Godfather is the leading wagon. However, once this happens, the night kill will be able to be carried out by any member of the mafia team from that point on.

I apologize profusely guys, for not noticing earlier. Please PM if you have questions.

TLDR:
Godfather/Zealot gets most votes = no chop and the kill is no longer exclusively carried out by Zealot.
