OK, sorry Pryo, vote rescinded. But after you read this, you could probably figure out why I voted for you.
LISTEN UP EVERYONE WHO'S VOTING FOR CERIC. Since my subtle nudges that we shouldn't throw away our votes aren't working, I'm gonna throw this out loud and clear.
IT MAKES NO SENSE FOR TOWNIES TO VOTE OUT CERIC. You want to give Mad Gear a gift? Then sure, vote him out. "Deh, wha-whatchu talkin' about, decoyman?" Alright then, let's get this done bullet-point style.
FACT 1 • Mad Gear wants Skull Cross (Ceric) gone entirely because then they'll be free to make a hit every night (confirmed from Ty, this is how it works, folks).
FACT 2 • It's a Mad Gear hit tonight. You know they'll take out Ceric if they have to, but they'd really rather hit someone from their biggest threat – the townies/good guys – and let the gullible townies do the work of getting rid of Ceric for them.
FACT 3 • If we don't vote out Ceric, there's the chance he can live through the night. If so, he has the chance to hit the other Mafia with his hit. Do you think Mad Gear's gonna accidentally put a hit out on one of its members? No. They're aiming for everyone they can that's NOT THEM (ie townies/good guys), EVERY SINGLE NIGHT after Skull Cross is gone.
So, sure. Want to make it easier on Mad Gear? Fine. But I don't want to do their dirty work for them. We can always take Ceric out later if he hits a townie. But if he survives and hits a Mad Gear member tomorrow, I'm fine with leaving him around a bit longer. For tonight, I'm voting for someone else I find suspicious.
