To summarize: People we should get rid of - Random town that may have good abilities that could help.

People we should keep: People who are definitely not town, and the people that are randomly throwing vigs around.

this argument doesn't make sense. A 3P with possible killing abilities is actively worse than a townie with killing abilities.

all that remained to hope

there should be a huge crowd of spectators and that they should

It seems like everyone is saying we should just do this and it's no big deal, and Kash should totally just keep on keeping on. IMHO, we kill Kash, or me and Added Space should also use our powers since it is supposedly no big deal.

But we KNOW tpink is a Survivor who can win with Town, as opposed to people we don't know that about, who could be Scum, which tpink can not be.

Town can only win by SCUMHUNTING. tpink is no threat to Town until near LYLO, and at that point he is a totally known quantity.

Was just to post this. On top of that, tpink COULD vote with the town but he has no commitment or need to, so seems like a better shot for forced vig that firing off at random.

I'd argue frog at the least is also anti town, since it is going to hit more town then scum.

Jail can be argued as neutral.

Mass bus drive can be argued as neutral I guess, if no one is relying on any investigative type roles.

What, that was a question? I already said I believe Kash, so I don't believe we should vote him for being scum.

I also agree with the math points Poque raised about it maybe being a net positive after all. (in principle anyway, his first calculations may have been off) it just feels very personally annoying I'm sure, if you're one of the people hit.

Look, I'm going to die anyway because I had the audacity to shoot someone in a game where we have over a hundred lives.

First Tpink.

I'm not going to shoot him because he's 3P and that at least gives me some insight into how he'll act. Scum are likely to have more killing abilities so his ability to survive the game to the end is contingent on scum dying. That is until the game turns. To me, until maybe day 3 or 4 he's effectively going to act as a town player. So I'm not going to kill him because I have some insight into the way that he'll act. That's useful to me.

We have no idea if Lmac is scum or town. Literally none. As long as he's alive we have no information beyond what he says which is functionally useless until we can confirm his alignment. I think he's scum. Part of that is because of how hard he pushed Inf, and I'm not afraid to admit it, part of that is because he rubbed me the wrong way D1 and I was out for revenge.

The most important thing to note is that we are operating from different basic assumptions. I think that 3P favours town early in the game and I was dead set against the Inf lynch as a result.

So I shot the man I thought might be scum. And I'll die for it. So be it. I'm sad I won't get to release my Beastmaster pet tonight, but meh, swings and roundabouts.

Like seriously, I just want you to die because of how goddamn angry you get over Mafia.

But to be clear.

I think D1 vigs are pointless because the pushes are rarely meaningful and the flips rarely say anything.

I think my own kills have a point because they allow me to confirm thoughts that I personally have.

They're different things.

3P favors 3P. They don't give a poo poo about town and you can't assume to know how they play. You say it's "useful to me" but that wording is telling. Knowing how they will act can help you achieve your wincon. What IS your wincon? You berserkered me because I pushed a lynch that lots of other people were pushing. Hell, Slasher Hawke literally called you an idiot for half the day. Your revenge claims are hollow.
