Maybe for a theme game
So your votes do different things based on public class
no not a game I’ll flesh it out in staff chat first

I think having a mix of people being really open as town and some being more close to the chest might be good. Ordered Reads list to ensure everyone has stances and constantly changing stances. I remember a few really good threads (on MS) on town play that I’m going to dig for I feel we should keep in mind.

I don’t think either of those things are necessarily good.
Also hi!
Long time no see!
How is everything.
I’m curious as to why.
Because you can be town with bad reads and then u focus on reads not play
Also not sure why you’d want them to be changing.
Lol I didn’t notice that also was in reply to me. I’ve been good! Honestly tried to take a break from mafia after team mafia, as I feel I have reached a wall in terms of play and improvement. Have also tried Everyone is mafia mafia and that’s really fun too. How have you guys been?
@chesskid3 Good point. What do you guys suggest is better then? (Posting reads wise) Just not post them at all but keep them to the chest and just vote?
Saying what you’re thinking when you’re thinking it is usually fine, I was more disagreeing with making it a thing everyone has to do.
It should be more acceptable to not have reads, a lot of a topic is noise and figuring out/finding the important bits is the first step before interpretation.
Fair enough. I do think in that case, it’s important to try to have an atmosphere where people keep their votes in play, so there is at least a paper trail, even for those that don’t have reads posted publicly. That’s something I am trying to do more.
I’m not advocating for keeping reads public or private (and if a player is aiming for the latter voting transparently defeats the purpose), I’m more saying that most players needing to have reads (especially scumreads) isn’t that important.
If a player doesn’t have reads, then what do they do?
They make observations.
They create an environment for other ppl to potentially generate reads easier.
They get townread.
They survive.

I proxy my vote to a major wagon (or one with a vote already) I can agree with until I get better reads. There are times when I have no strong pings and my vote would be more useful stacked instead of doing nothing waiting to happen.
Votes don’t inherently do anything until a wagon is actually lynched though. Not sure what the concept of keeping a vote useful is.
A vote on a player and not on player is equally a threat unless whoever has it is done posting for some period of time.
So it is ok if we obvtown and keep surviving?
obvtown isn’t even necessary if you keep surviving 
arguably better to not be since you don’t get killed
I kinda look at it like a sports team or a moba or something where people have different roles. (not a perfect analogy because of imperfect information but most people are still town and have their strenghts/weaknesses).
Not everyone needs to have reads and be directing votes.
