Policy Kills and Acting Out of Spite in Mafia

A hypothetical.

Has anyone used any PRs they've been given out of spite? Anyone done any "policy kills" with a vig power?

this likely happens more than anyone will admit. Though I'd add voting out of spite to the list as well.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

One time I got a trio of users as my role in a meet-themed game, and was a one shot day vig, and that trio was playing as a hydra, and claimed survivor,

Not spite though I love those guys.

there was a game a long time ago when someone tried to shoot me when I was an IC because it would "improve town unity" or something like that despite me having led an elim on scum day 1 that game.

I hold in my spite if I think spiting is detrimental to my alignment. I let my spite go wild if I think it is actually helpful to my alignment. Of course, I do not let my spite show because showing spite is a great way for people to be NOT cooperative with me.

Sure, absolutely, so long as it wasn’t game throwing or clearly the wrong choice. But in those cases where the optimal kill is unclear then ofc how much you like people plays into your decision

No but I possibly might have voted someone once at least in part because they were strongly insinuating I was stupid or something like that. I hadn’t publicly outed my dyslexia yet at that point.

We just need to tread carefully because if you slip up around her as scum she notices and will tear your spine out and slap you to death with it. (I'm slightly scared of Nancy)
