IDK. Isn't Merlin a town role, making the town even more powerful ? mafia get to guess at the merlin role for a free win at the end of the game if they lose the regular missions and when you're merlin and the rest of town have 0 correct reads between them and you can't change their mind (and if i can't...), then... well. yes. so dull.

yes but the problem (as jat says) is that it's not even random.
i was put in the spot where either mafia were gonna win the regular missions, or i could try my hardest (which i did up to a point) to get town on the right track.
But if i'm the only one even trying to push town in a vaguely correct direction, and all the townies are confidently calling various mafia town, who the fuck are mafia gonna guess is merlin? yeah, me.

They could but I guess generally you will have a pretty good idea who merlin is by the end of a game this long. Unless merlin is playing really well and why would he since his role is so fucking boring.
Yeah I imagine in fact scum has a higher chance than random to find Merlin. This setup seems super scum favored.

I really felt bad when I saw so many voted yes after kita did all that work writing up interactions. How could I vote yes after asking him to do that? -_-
I know u guys just wanted to rush through the game, but that's not how you win it.

Heh in retrospect, Rels replacing SL/HTS/Shockeyy/Vivax with Artanis/HTS/Shockeyy/Vivax probably should have given it away. He was tainting the clean team with a failed one while explaining it was for "information". In reality there was no information to be had considering there was nobody who actually preferred Artanis over SL, aside from Artanis who already voted yes on the first team to begin with.
Kinda similar to Artanis's nomination of Rels during cycle two. Neither wanted their nominated team to pass, yet they weren't concerned at all about the possibility of their suggested teams actually going through by accident

Yes i think i was pretty much done tunneling him up to that point then rels nominated him
