Re: Elite Four Choice Pokémafia - Game Thread
Just to be clear on why I voted the way I did, because whatever happens to me I feel I need to get this little rant off my chest: talking is always better than not talking, even if you don't think you have anything to say, and in the absence of other evidence I am always going to prefer lynching quiet people over talkative ones because silence is anti-town. You aren't helping town if you aren't talking, because talking and voting are literally the only things most roles can do during the day; if you really can't bear to lynch someone, whatever, we'll agree to disagree on that, but then you need to talk. I'm sorry, but I just can't understand why people don't even try to actually do the one thing they can do to play the game outside of the night phase. This goes for ZM and for everyone else who's been quiet, and no matter how this vote goes, be aware that come postgame I am going to drown every single one of you in extreme fatherly disappointment if you all don't bloody start talking. >(
Also, it's a hell of a lot more interesting than a series of back-to-back GM posts, no matter how witty MF might be. Why on earth would anyone actively work against that by not posting? I just... I just don't get it.
Anyway. I'd really rather like to hold on to my claim if at all possible, since I still feel like I can get some use out of it yet, but if you insist... well, you can't actually say anything (ugh this seems like an interesting mechanic and all but I really really do hate anything that intentionally stifles group discussion, especially at the same time something entertaining is happening!), but I guess I'll do so if there are a lot of other votes against me.
