vca can really only "townclear" a few players and even then there's always that 1 scum that u clear
VCA was a good starting off point back in the day, but then players began to rely on it too much and act as if it was infallible.

I used to intentionally manipulate VCA by not voting with my partners / having all of us vote as a bloc. And I know I'm not the only person that did that.

That's why VCA is not strong unless you have reason to believe a specific moment is alignment indicative

I always found it great for finding aborted busses, but that doesn't require a deep dive into the VCA

Well guess what now your vote doesn’t get counted
MathBlade’s tool would detect typos to my knowledge (I remember this being a feature)
Back when I used an automated counter (of my own design), I had it alert me to any votes that weren't for a correctly-spelled player, so that I could decide what they meant manually.

It broke a while back and nowadays I just vote-count manually rather than spending time on fixing it. (Part of the reason I wrote it in the first place was to votecount a 50p, and I don't run games that large.)

There is at least one automatic option.
I'd have to do it manually anyway to make sure the automatic option is accurate, so automatic is actually more work.

I personally manually count VCs because it's really enjoyable for me to just scroll through the thread and see what's going on with players.
Plus, with the way how I'm trying to start modding, (including flavor for all parts of the game), manually counting the votes gives me hints about who I should be writing a death flavor for.

Person A said they think Person B is scum, and a couple of people are voting them? Odds are they'll probably be the lynch, so I start working on their death flavor.
People started wagoning Person C instead? Guess I'll start working on their death flavor instead, but good thing I have Person B's flavor already done if I need it!

The same thing is true for any killing roles in the games I mod. For example, in CK9++, when I saw the mafia start talking about who they should kill, I started writing a flavor for who they were discussing.
