I can see reasons to vote or not to vote for Thomas. I can't see such reasons to vote for Strago, especially towards the end when there were *several* votes without real quantifiers. ..........
Nor do I feel that it's terribly valid to hit at him for voting for Thomas, when, in his position, lynching 'the other guy' is a fair call for him to make.
For my part, I don't agree with this. Just as Tom should be playing for Team Town and not Team Tom, it can be said that Strago should be doing the same. If the only way to avoid lynching the guy claiming cop is to let yourself be lynched, and you have a role that's less valuable than cop, well... don't be voting for yourself, obviously, but don't be pressing hard to lynch the potential cop, even if you're on the block with him.
Cop
really is that important and as a townie Strago (along with everyone else) shouldn't be willing to sacrifice them so lightly. This is the essence of what it means to play for Team Town, at least in my eyes. The sheer number of people apparently disagreeing, even now (though admittedly Tom's lie being exposed doesn't help) (and Strago winding up town) seems to say that this won't be a useful scumtell in this game, which irks me, all I can do is caution that being willing to sacrifice a potential cop on day one is terrible play. Town acting irrationally makes hunting scum very hard, especially for me since I'm one of those people who lacks intuition.
Yes, this can allow scum to claim cop early and 'get away' with it...
in the short term. In the long term? A scum claiming cop will almost always be found out in the long run, and often wind up doing the town more good than harm by revealing some truthful investigations. It's not worth the risk of losing a real cop.
Anyhow!
Patchu's response is extremely unsatisfying, wavering between "I didn't bother to look if I was hammering" and "I was just voting someone to get the day over with, my vote wouldn't cou-
Wwaaaaaiiiit
"It was like, Tom 7 Strago 8 ~ ish? Really, I don't remember, but I wasn't aware I was hammering him."
...
"Because even if I was in favor of lynching Tom, let's be realistic. What's the point if your vote is going to sit there and do nothing at the end of the day?
I was voting alongside the majority just to help lynch someone and get the day over."
Say WHAT? First of all, both of these are terrible play, be careful with your votes when it's close to hammer, and your vote DOES count when it's close, second of all, were you aware of the count or were you not? That... looks like a slip if ever I saw one.
Vote Patchucloud even though I already did. What. What. What.
