I've pointed all this out before, but here's a neat overview, starting with the most damning.
And I've explained how all of these are wrong, but I'll do so again, just for you.
1. If the petition serves no other purpose than for Galzria's win condition, then the process makes no sense. A player would need to sign, and then agree again after enough signatures are in. There is no game-design reason for requiring the second approval, as it doesn't matter to the player and they already made a choice.
It makes no sense because you're living in a world where you know what it is and how it works. Because I told you. I've said "none of it matters to the other player", so now, none of it matters to the other player. In a world where this information is not public, the lack of knowledge provides more than enough reason to consider the options. It doesn't have any more of an effect on them in a world where they don't know what purpose it serves than it does in a world where they do know - but the game design is perfectly acceptable, because in a world where they don't know, it
might.
2. As pointed out, the claim is inconsistent - Galz doesn't know the identities of the signees, but gets to choose one of them. First of all he would have us believe that he did not notice this discrepancy until he claimed today. Also, he would have us believe that ashersky did not provide clarification for an integral part of his role. That's not the mod!ashersky that I know, and it doesn't fit my with interactions with ashersky in this game.
I think the solution here is that actually Galzria doesn't know the signees, but the thing that the signatures do is something else, which is how it happened that he made a claim that doesn't quite work.
You're making assumptions about me that you should know from modding simply aren't true. I generally do not comb through my PR looking for every possible discrepancy. This is especially true when playing with more experienced MODS. I also don't know what to tell you. I'm not the only person who has gotten a "I'm not answering that at this time" response from Ashersky regarding their role. DatSwan has spoken up regarding the same. As I stated this first, not Swan, it would seem highly unlikely that I just bull-shitted my response on that hoping against all hope that Ashersky did in fact give those type of responses. This is especially true because, as you note (and I know, having played in plenty of Ash's games in the past), he's usually pretty good about answering questions. In Falling Skies, he answered most (although not all) of my questions then. You know what would've been a better lie if I intended to lie there? "Ash said that the names of the signee's would be presented to me when I reach 4".
3. It doesn't make a lot of sense flavor-wise. Yon sign a petition to do something, and if enough people sign it... nothing happens to further the purpose of the petition? Come on.
See my response to point 1. These are the same points that you're trying to make.
4. It's weird that the number claimed doesn't coincide with the number of players who posted. I think it is very unlikely that anyone in this game would choose to not post in a neighborhood.
I believe you're just wrong here, and I'm not alone in this expressed opinion. I believe there are many players that would choose to stay silent.
5. Galzria offered to self-hammer, which doesn't work at all with a Survivor-like role. As a scum gambit, it makes more sense.
Except it works just fine with what I've claimed. Had I claimed "Hey guys, I'm a normal survivor", your point might be valid. Unfortunately, it's not.
6. His persistence on Didds is nonsense. He wants her lynched, but doesn't want to say any reasons that might convince others because ... maybe she'll say something more incriminating? Well there's not much time left for that in this day. I think that he has nothing on Didds actually, and the case is made up, there is no scumtell. Galzria just wants to be seen arguing against Didds for some reason. And a Survivor doesn't have a reason to make up disingenuous reads.
I've given reasons beyond what you've apparently read. Still, I've arguably done more actual scum-hunting than you have, as not only have you actively only gone after me, you've consistently tried to dissuade every single other option. In faust's world, I'm the only scum that exists in the whole game apparently. Fun! Even considering the possibility that I'm not what I've claimed, even if I was "traditional scum", which is what faust is generally arguing, I would have partners out there. Faust isn't interested in finding them - one has to begin to wonder if it's because he knows I DON'T, because he himself has them?
7. He says he could be randomly included in the neighborhood he generates. So like... he can sign his own petition, but only sometimes, up to RNG? Seems unnecessarily swingy without reason, he could just always be in there or never.
You've obviously missed the part where I've claimed that I cannot sign my own petition. Also, note that I've said the signatures must be unique as well.
