the path to having that not happen isn't the one that was being followed this game even before i started posting

You want to make this game about everything that I hate about the state of this website.

Not one solitary person is as much of a meta genius as they think they are. This is the worst suggestion I have read in a mafia game this year.

I think that OH has a fairly high probability of being scum trying to push town to do basically anything besides the obvious correct thing.

At the very least I think it's a fact that they have been pushing scum wincondition harder than anyone else has to the point that we're currently at.

If no one protects us, we are very likely getting killed. RC is almost always targeted N1. YGM was an exception.
A town player will die N1.

This was an awkward place to ask this question.

I think you don't fully understand my suggestion, then?

I'm not trying to take advantage of MS players as "meta-geniuses," I'm trying to apply greater responsibility to players. This isn't a ploy to make town find town, this is outing scum by making them take responsibility for their actions in greater regard than usual.

Not just any town, we will die tonight like nearly every game RC isn’t protected. You guys should know this. Do I really need to list examples?

Only way we possibly won’t is of our reads are really off but RC also gets targeted when he’s wrong, like in Arch where RC tribute hydra allowed us to die.

It's exactly the same as playing the setup naively (i.e. pass to your townread) except that you've assigned everyone a meta padawan for some reason

I don't need examples, I'm telling you that if you're town, you're town. Which is just like everyone else here. One of the town players will die night 1. If we protect you, then there is WIFOM about whether or not you're scum tomorrow, and then we have to waste a lynch on you when it could be used on someone better.

You're aggressive this game.

Why are you pushing for reads from me right now?

Are you not interested in the conversation at hand?

We can't do rigid chain creation. Someone with an ego will break it and then we'll waste the entire rest of the game arguing about whether to lynch them for it.

The only difference is that your plan says we can only pass to predetermined players we're "comfortable reading."

Also, I admit my desired way to play the game is probably suboptimal but I want to have fun more than I want to win and I know no one is going to listen to me.
