After posting that, I wanted to add:I mean, yes, I like NQT here partly because of Jade Court.
I guess he just kind of does this sometimes, and it works because it entertains ToonyMan? ToonyMan being entertained and going along with it may have actually cost him that game since the two of us together effectively controlled the last two votes. So I guess there is value to it.
I know this reasoning backfired in Web's Supernatural (I thought his vote on me was just like Roguelike Mafia where he was town), however it became really apparent NQT was fishy after D1. I still don't really want to vote NQT currently, but I also believe NQT gets shakier as mafia as the game progresses which I haven't seen yet besides being a bit distant in the game so far. He's been putting in way more work than Web's Supernatural.
I think ToonyMan's scum game relies on a lot of short-term goals. His long-term goals tend to be a little more playing-by-ear, so him getting to Day 3 with someone from his team that wasn't him was really difficult. Him getting himself on the Board as anything but a Day 1 vote would've been pretty short, but it'd make him unelectable. Honestly, I think he was probably in a lost game from the start, but he did what he had to do.I like having good chemistry with my scum partners. I think it can be difficult to find success when allies are unable to communicate well or get along.
Max and Web seem really town to me (unless they're both mafia *shiver*), so I don't really see how town loses here unless we completely punt.
