May I ask why you are voting me?
Because you're inactive, more or less. Get some questions out there, some votes (with a reason), something!
TBFDoubloon-Seven: You're not new to the concept of Mafia.
Why are you doing even worse than me at it?
I asked you this once already, but looks like you missed it. Explain what you hope to gain from this. Or are you antagonizing folk for the sake of it?

Sober enough to address my question?
Do you have any commentary you feel you should give on 4maskwolf or Webadict in this game so far?
Sorry, think I missed this, or at least I don't remember answering it. Nothing of note, really, though wuba is being a little....harder, harsher than I remember? And his posts a bit longer, but he is an IC. No real read on 4mask.
@Hapah: I was hoping to get an idea of your town meta and scum meta, but it's been four years and you don't remember details, so your meta has probably changed. But if you were scum, you could have fed me bad intel, as was.
That's it? Really? That's such an obvious angle I thought there would have to be something more. Would you have actually gone and reviewed the games? Because while I don't remember individual games, my post history is there for all to see.

It's Day2. A scum player was lynched D1. A single player claims cop D2. Are they the cop? When would it be acceptable to lynch them? Do you pay any attention to their reports?
I think you almost have to believe him at that point, in a semiclosed game like this. I mean, that would be a bold going on foolish scumclaim: I looked at the role possibilities and two out of the three have an actual cop, right? If you fakeclaim cop as scum D2 and the real cop claims, one of you is gonna get lynched day 2 no question. And good luck talking your way out of that when you claimed Cop and the real one flips. I guess a vanilla townie could claim Cop, but I don't see what they could gain out of it (and it seems like an anti-town move).
Well lucky I'm not scum then because you'd have been fucked.
In games where scum are not blocked, they are statistically likely to be correct in assuming there is no cop (there is literally a better than 50% chance that either they find the cop or there was no cop).
Clearing a mafscum is auto-loss for the town.
Also, the cop will never flip in this game. Mafia 100% have a role-cop. That means that after N1, mafia can kill the player they inspected last night. If that lets mafia close out the victory, then that's what they'll do.
That said, it was a good answer, and it told me a lot.
I've been chewing on this all morning and can't come to the same conclusion no matter how I bend it. The bits the confuse me are bolded for emphasis, can you comment? It's a bit into the weeds but I am genuinely interested.
Re "Moving your vote is a towntell" - Oh yeah, I vaguely remember NQT starting that up. Interesting that it's still holding up after all this time.
