Uhh I guess so? I have a pretty strong opinion about how this part of the game is supposed to go and expressing it usually fulfills my ultimate goal of getting the game started.

I don't know why you want everyone to prove their existence before RVS can end. Isn't that what the confirmation stage is for?
Cracking witty jokes as I solve games is my schtick. Also snark. I just think we could give everyone a chance to wittily insert themselves into the game, but whatever.
Now my vote is on Cabd apparently, because...uh...they couldn't even get the start of the alphabet right?
Micc, if we are going to get all serious, it seems to me that that slot has as much chance of being scum as any other, so why would it matter that RC was replacing out? Are you trying to discourage votes on that slot?
I'm trying to discourage votes that don't help us get out of RSV. RVS voting an empty slot is explicitly not helping the game leave RVS and I'd like to wagon you for doing it.

if you're saying that rvs voting an empty slot doesn't help leave rvs because it doesn't draw reactions the same way that rvsing a player who's in the game does, shouldn't your own reaction to that prove that wrong?

its purpose is to end as quickly as possible but for it to end people have to have something to go off of! if someone voting an empty slot is enough for you to go off of to make the first serious vote then that's fine, but for most people i'd imagine they're still waiting for everyone's entrance. jumping straight out of rvs isn't always valuable - scum sometimes find it hard to naturally insert themselves into the thread, whereas if we get out of rvs too soon they can just lurk a bit before sheeping someone or going straight to reads.
I would normally argue that rc enjoys scum so a rc replace out is likely town but in this instance he replaced out of every single game on site at once, so it is a billion percent null.
also as a heads up to everyone I'm pretty busy this quarter and won't have as much time as I usually do for mafia. I should be checking in at least once a day but if that becomes impossible I'll replace out.

What gave you the impression she was 'jumping out' of RVS? It's a weak reason, so I'd classify that as RVS. Your comment feels overly strong given that.

i do think that your not voting isn't especially pro-town, however
You likely won't see a vote from me until i am confident in my entire reads list, not just a singular read. If this was a traditional game, the list would even contain the phrase "sync achieved"
people always say that during rvs scum will either sheep someone else's vote to try to blend in or will not put a vote at all to avoid drawing attention to themselves, but i don't think that's the case here with cabd. not reading the whole game as an excuse is a bit weird when it's only two pages but i still wouldn't say that not voting is suspicious.
by the way, i haven't played or read a game with this setup yet. anything important i should know beyond the basics of what the roles do?
