We have two 'conftown'. Kuroi and Chick. If you can give me a reasonable argument for why having two conftown is not better than them being dead, I'll agree that gladiating is dumb and we shouldn't do it.
More to the point, though, mastina isn't the one holding the thread hostage. Note how when we actually reach a lynch consensus, the game goes fast? When mastina gladiated Chick yesterday, it took about a day for 15 No Lynch votes to happen. That gladiate happened less than 48 hours before deadline, with 7 people on the wagon. We would have deadline no lynched without the gladiate. If we actually scumhunt outside of "mastina's role so OP, lets derp flashwagon it and complain and do absofuckinglutely nothing else" we wouldn't have had a game 'held hostage' by a player. We'd have had a game, in which instead of flipping our mislynches stay around and continue talking. It's not rocket science why that's good.
The people 'holding this game hostage' are the people who are refusing to scumhunt and instead focusing on policy lynching one slot.
Varsoon and his incessant complaining about how boring the game is and the OP-ness of said role, has not expressed a single read I can recall on a single other player.
Firebringer is TOWNREADING mastina, and still wants to lynch her because his head is so far up his hateboner's ass that he won't look at any of the other players.
I can't think of a single push you've made.
And you're not the only ones. This isn't the game being held hostage by mastina, this is 21 players sitting in a circle staring at her and being angry when nothing happens.
Do you know how you progress a game of mafia out of shit and stillness? A hint. It isn't fucking policy lynching. It's actually engaging with and sorting the players. And you can't even blame it on activity, because there's plenty of shit to be taking a stand on. Vecna claimed and retracted IC. JJ has been spamming the shit out of the thread. Nico's shit has been around to talk about, even if I personally don't think it's the blinking "I AM SCUM" sign others do. NSG is playing to lurkmeta.

I colored the people who are off the table. Notice how there's a list of 20 people, and 17 of them are still suspects? I sure as hell do.
