Digital Mafia - TOWN WINS

The point was that Shidoshi basically said, "Only one vote won't ever get someone to talk because it doesn't mean anything." He still went after Meta after CJ had spoken. At no point did he say he was no longer going to vote for Meta. I call up this post where he renewed his vote for Meta after CJ had spoken. That's not to say he's not mafia, but he did nothing suspicious in my opinion.

It makes sense that he would go back to Meta after Chaotic spoke, so thanks for clearing that up. I was questioning why he'd value Chaotic talking over Meta, but he can explain that himself. That was the suspicious thing to me, but it could very well have been a coincidence.

I'm not really sure why you thought I said you're not allowed to give people benefit of the doubt. It's just really weird when you go, "I think this person is scummy...but I'm not going to actually do anything about it until they've had time to prepare their defense." You should vote for people. You should keep anyone you think is suspicious on their toes, because you never know who is mafia and who is not. Just because you voted for Shidoshi doesn't mean you're certain they're mafia.

Oh, don't mistake me, I wasn't aiming that comment at you. It was more of an observation, and a natural one at that. I don't mean anything against anyone who harboured this change. It makes sense, otherwise I would have opposed it.

Is it weird to let people defend themselves, though? I have no reason to believe they are scum until they give me one. I am allowed to be suspicious of what seems scummy, and scummy doesn't always equate to mafia. It could be unintentional behaviour that comes off as scummy to me, since it didn't seem off to you, for example.

That makes sense (and applies for your next paragraph, I don't want to waste space saying "yes I agree"); I wasn't aware the vote had that much implication aside from lynching. Thanks And no, I wasn't implying that I know Shidoshi was mafia from voting for him.

I believe Shidoshi said that they wouldn't make the names into a clear definition of mafia vs town. In that particular situation, my belief was First Name and Last Names sharing the same starting letter might guarantee town, and they dismissed that. That doesn't dismiss the possibility of the name itself implying what their power does.

If there's literally no purpose in the name, then why does anyone care about them?

I originally thought they were for flavour purposes only. Why would people give backstory to a mafia game if not to make it interesting?
