Why do you prefer the latter?
Eh, I came here to play LyLo's, guess this doesn't really work that way though.
I'd prefer it because I'm damn sure I'll trust my gut over other people's opinions when it really gets to it. I won't vote for who people want me to nor will I really expect others to do that.
I agree with Tiershift. It's an easy mistake to make. I'm going to assume zoraster is using it for scum and dead. I don't think there's anything behind it.

I see what you mean but for me, I kinda want to have all the information possible. I know I'm not infallible, and maybe someone else here can read someone better than I can.
So gm, waddaja think of blackfish so far?
Up to my last post I thought Town. Now? This continued pushing is a little aggressive, and I'm not really sure whether that's playstyle or something more sinister. It's also a little weird that he's focused on LM's not commenting on it and didn't mention that I didn't.

Why would you assume that they are only for scum when the nature of the game (Town being divided into groups) implies that it could be for town as well?
Nothing about the nature of the game suggested that the three groups would have private communication. As far as I understood it, the group divisions are made solely for voting purposes and to help town with POE, with group members only being able to vote for themselves and town getting 2 confirmed townies when a mafia member is lynched. This I believe to counteract the mountainous effect of the game and provide a mechanic to help town in the absence of power roles. I assumed scum use the private threads instead of having a scum QT since that's what the OP implied. I am not following why I should think that the game implies town have private communication.
I'm not saying it should be assumed, I'm merely saying it is an easy mistake to make. Also, why would scum be stupid enough to ask publicly?
Who said that?
Chamber. It's all a conspiracy.
Or is it?
I wanna call Blackfish's overt pushing more town. Pushing out of the RVS I find is always good and gets discussion going, which is clearly has.
I'm also more inclined to believe TR's question was more meaningless due to the vague opening post. But I do think it would be an interesting mechanic to have this same game set-up but the three groups isolated until Day 2.
1. If that was directed at the mod, it should be bolded. If it was directed at the other players, why would we know more than you do? Because...
2. Reading the rules is good.

3. If a group does NOT pick a player to lynch by the deadline, the Mafia will choose who within that group is to be lynched.
After Day 1
4. Town may select No Lynch at this point. Reaching deadline will no lynch.
Who said that?
Chamber. It's all a conspiracy.
Or is it?

This is an interesting thing to say.
Is it possible to vote for no lynch in a group?
Why did you ask this question? Like, I want to know where your head was at. The reason I phrased that colloquially is because I am not attaching any value judgement to my question. I genuinely want to know.

Scum are obviously not stupid enough to ask publicly why they haven't received their QT links and Tiershift asking for it was either a towntell (or a fake one). I wasn't sure enough which so I pushed him to see if he reacted in an alignment revealing way. His response was a little sarcastic and dismissive which bothered me so I checked to see if it was alignment indicative for him to react that way in his other games and found nothing. I have a slight town lean based on his trying to shut down the discussion but it is not strong.
As for your post, why did you jump in and answer for Tiershift before he had a chance to respond himself?

Why did you find it weird?
I focused on LM because he RVS voted as if there was nothing better to discuss while ignoring the discussion that
had
taken place. Your posts came across as prioritizing your own scumhunting of Tiershift by asking him why he wanted the groups to discuss among themselves as opposed to majority decisions.

The phrasing of this post is odd. You "wanna" call my overt pushing more town? What does that mean? Does it mean that you want to but can't?

I guess curiosity. Never seen this set-up and I wanted to know and I thought the mod or other players would know better. Must have skimmed over it in the rules.

It means I'm leaning more town on your pushing, but I'm not willing to say you're on my town list or anything.

I can see this, but I also get a, like, none-of-my-business vibe, you know? I'm still trying to work all the details out in my head. So, like, we know that there cannot be two scum in one group. That means that if we leave all three groups as separate entities, we know for a fact that the two scum cannot work together to influence the entire game. Do you get where I am going?
To be clear, I am proposing we more or less completely leave out cross group discussion until D2 and let each group kind of decide their own fate. This is because this will automatically put the scum at a disadvantage, I think, by keeping them from working together to influence the other groups. Any thoughts on this?
