Does the clique meta affect games?

[profii]

this is something i was going to talk about in the how to be good town thread but never got round to posting

it was mentioned a lot that charisma is essential to leading town to success

however, ive noticed player reputation seems to trump that because player X thinks player y is amazing town, ill just sheep or tunnel at the slightest sign of scum

when that happens, there is no telling them
