@plotinus: I don't really understand what you mean with town voting block. Didn't want to ask before you got an answer, but that is still not making it too clear to me. And I also can't find it at the wiki.
I don't fully understand it myself but this is what I know and I hope the more experienced players can correct any parts where I'm wrong.
In one of the larger theme games I browsed through, someone tried to organise one early on. It's when a bunch of people who each think all the rest in the small group are town all decide to vote together as a group and work together. It can happen naturally in a game, without being organised, for example if there are multiple confirmed cops who clear multiple people as town, or just if a group of people all townread each other and are pretty sure of their reads. The group can know that they are safe to trust each other, work together in public, scumhunt together, and then put 3-4 votes on a wagon instead of just 1, which is powerful if they're right. If it happens naturally it can be okay, but of course if scum can get into a town voting block that's really powerful for them, which is what happened in the game I looked at.
I'm not sold on it being a great idea even if everyone in the group is mod confirmed town aligned because they can still be wrong about things and 4 people being wrong at once can make for quicker mislynches. I'm suspicious of people organising them if it's too early to have serious townreads. The question was a gentle push, wanted to see what they would say.
@Wyvernite: Those are things I'm working on improving. I will still try my hardest to play well, but if you know where I'm likely to screw up, you're less likely to sheep me when I'm screwing up. And if someone else notices I'm doing one of the things I warned you guys about, you'll know that I won't be upset if you point it out to me. I'll try to notice on my own, though. I hope to do a little better in all those areas compared to last game, that's my goal for this game.
pedit: lotsa people. I'm getting more suspicious of saad though.
