If it's naturally close, then it should naturally be close, let them switch the votes if they want to. We can either vig or lynch the person who got saved if we really do find them that suspicious.

But, as Ignoramus( I think) pointed out, Cicero and Cato were both historically Pompeians. Without a clear majority, we are putting the lynch in the hands of one mafia faction.

It is true...we need someone to be ahead by 5 votes to lynch for sure. I forgot that they can switch people who are voting for the main guy. However we don't know how often they can use that ability. Hmm.

they have done it both days so far, though it has gone from one to two.

Well, my vote's going to stay on AggonyDuck for now. I think the role pm would have been easily forgeable, but I think the probability is that the Caesarians have actually fed us a mafia here. That is one of their main goals, after all. Anyway, if it turns out to be wrong (in which case Ducky has my apologies) then we'll know we can't believe anything they say. That said, I doubt Aggony is even in danger at this point...

AggonyDuck is probably going to be night killed once they see their attempt to get him lynched didn't work. Caesar was probably hoping we would waste our time lynching him this round, which protects the mafia and gets rid of another senator. Double win.

Yeah its pointless lynching who other mafia point out as mafia for us, if they do now a certain person is mafia they will kill them themselves... theres no need for the town to do the mafias dirty work... most likely mafia conbfusion anyway...

Or being honest and setting us up to confuse us later in the game

Sasaki thats fair enough a few people mentioned lurking in thier votes for him though... so to those people im pointing out better lurker lynches...
