Ya. I really don't see town as derping at all here. What were we supposed to do when we see a recruit in the writeup? Assume its fake and just keep voting for mafia? Nope. Never has that happened after a recruit is clearly in the writeup.
Misinformation roles - both in PM form and write up form - have been present in multiple games now. They go way back to the very first game, in fact.
Rather than killing one another seemingly for fun, town needed to show a little restraint or test the theory by killing a mafia member. Grimm, Hogg, or Dutchy were never targeted to be killed more than once during the game - Dutchy not even once.
Agreed. No town derping here at all. If you get a write up saying that a vocal person has been recruited, of course you will think its true.
Town derped from the outset, really. Their eagerness to lynch micky on PP's obvious trolling wasted a lynch and his Hodor, butch (originally town vigilante) KTFed it, KTF was lynched on the basis on some flimsy reasoning, and then there was the above hook, line, and sinker self destruction.
It's far from the worst derped town I've seen, but it sure did make the mafia's job a lot easier when nobody except micky & Bazal ever bothered to target them.
