If I could vote MiX a second time here, I would.
Do you think pushing for the claim is scummy? If so, why? I continue to believe forcing a claim is good if there's scum!Promoter since it locks scum into making a decision here and now and it means we won't have this problem later in the game (town!Promoter claiming gives some power to scum as they can decide if he lives or dies but that's the price we pay). If this is not why you're voting for me, do you want to say what said reason is?
This is when I would change my vote after a reread, but I still want it to be on chairs.
First: You’re not pushing a scum!promoter into doing anything. They aren’t going to claim if they don’t want to do so - even if every person in the game, including them, expressed that the Promoter should claim, they could sit there silently or claim “not Promoter” with the 13 other people claiming the same.
So what you’re actually trying to do, effectively, is get a potential town!Promoter to claim. Which, if you fell on the side of believing it to be a negative utility role is one thing - but that’s not the reason you’ve been arguing for the claim.
Second: You’ve been pushing a potential Traitor to claim the role. This would make sense given, as noted above, a scum!promoter won’t actually claim anyway. The town could “force” the Traitor to use his “power”, and the actual scum!promoter can play right along consequence free.
Third: I don’t believe the initial vote on Chairs for his lack of posting comes from scum all that often, but I’m more inclined to see the first person to jump at that as a reasonable vote as scummy.
