Unless he scum claims I will not vote steak D1 because it's likely he will do something insane at some point and that is what I want from my mafia games

Ignored so hard I commented on it. If you're asking why I'm not holding it against these people for voting steak, it's because it's the same sentiment that happens every game and opens up almost every joke phase in recent history?

That's you talking about whether you'd vote Steak, not about an attempted turbo, which is what I'm talking about. I agree it's silly to vote someone in jokephase for putting a third vote on someone, but that's way closer to an actual turbo than my one vote reacting to Tobbs's claim.

I also knew you wouldn't say anything about this later post where Jen clarified her vote isn't a joke:

Instead, turbo steak and make the game easier for everyone instead of having to execute him on D3 as is inevitable
Because you're faking this read hardcore and why you're ignoring my questions about what you believe about Tobbs, you don't want to have a good faith discussion about it. It's how me unvoting Tobbs and reevaluating becomes both me "squirming out of it" and "dying on this hill" when literally no one else was voting with you.

Ok I have this weird vibe from pop like --

Like he's making all of these arguments and then following it out logically and look there's an opportunity to step in and call this out except it all seems ... Forced? Artificial.

Like I don't get the vibe that pop is actually going "hey, that feels scummy" or whatever, it's coming off more like "person X has done 3 things which count as scummy, so I will make that case." Like it's more of an academic exercise than it is something he actually believes?

Am I the only one getting that feeling?

Yes, I realize this is a weird thing to accuse him of, since he can't exactly counterargue it effectively, but I'm not going to not point it out just because of that.

That's a good point - ##unvote

I still don't buy Tobbs' explanation of his thought process whatsoever but it is a pretty pointless power for scum.

It's possible that powers aren't tied to alignment, that we get powers from songs and then alignments were determined. So I don't think "it's a pointless power for scum to have" is a good reason to unvote. That just means scum would have more incentive to oops waste it so they can't use it on a bro (or conversely, save it for bussing cred)

You know the aphorism "If you hear hooves, think horses"? Unless that's explicitly stated, I wouldn't expect roles to be assigned before alignments. Scum probably aren't going to have a doctor.

It is, somehow, and I don't know how or why. I know you're generally someone who goes after things he sees, so it's not the fact that you're playing aggressively early. That's generally pro town, to get things started.

So I'm not sure what it is. I was hoping if I called it out, other people might be able to tell me if they saw it, too, or if I was seeing things.

If they claim it as one shot tomorrow, we know for sure that it is, and that means they're either the only vanilla in the game or scum, which means I have zero problems voting them out.

If they claim it's ongoing tomorrow, we use the power.

If they die overnight, moot point.

If that's your reading hey, that's fair - in that game, I was kinda struggling to find anything that registered one way or another to me D1 and didn't feel like I was really into things until D2, but otherwise it's me and I can't really say anything else.

I would actually go in the other direction with this (if we can get confirmation that powers weren't generated independently of alignment) and consider Tobbs confirmed town because he had a power that was functionally useless for scum and scum's problem to deal with. (With it being a role madness game, I can see a lot of those building up really quick)

If he's still around in a few days, then he's a really good investigation target.

This is assuming Tobbs is playing normally and not doing whatever he's doing here. I haven't played with him before, but I read along with the Vampire the Masquerade game and he seemed like a pretty straight shooter there
