bucsfan333 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Claiming to pick a name at random absolves the voter from any blame should the chosen player turn up civ and generally negates an immediate retaliation vote. Mafia benefits from a play like that more than anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I learned something new. However, before you string me up for violating this unstated rule, do answer one question for me - where is squire12?

There's a difference between throwing out a vote at random and making it very known that your vote is totally random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bucsfan333 Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Also, I have no idea where @squire12 is. Weird that you would respond to my statement and quickly change the subject, @Woz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How exactly? If I had said squire12 but didn't mention the RNG, how would it be different than bcb saying he's voting Darth four posts in? You at least have some insight into my logic by saying "hey, I picked this guy at random because a RNG told me to." 1 in 20 chance. I was expecting it to come up 20 (i.e. me), to be perfectly honest. And yes, I would have then voted for myself. There's no track records to investigate here at this juncture. It's all monkey poo at a wall. I get that. I'm just trying to figure out why particular fling is the problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ... am not sure if I should take that as comfort (coming to my defense) or as an insult (that I'm no better at this game than a RNG).
