Spite? It's not spite at all. It's very much within the bounds of the game, has nothing to do with my thoughts towards you as a player or as a person. Like I explained to Prof, if I don't hold the banner on this, then I will also be allowing behaviour that I do not wish to facilitate. I've been very consistent on this, and the same standard would be applied to anyone. "Spite" doesn't even begin to come into it.
pretend u were an indie and u had to do x thing to win
i assume u would side with town first, right?
now lets say the game progresses and u realize that u will lose if u continue siding with town
do u gamethrow or scum side?
it sounds like u expect every indie to side with town every game otherwise they r immediately treated as scum in all of their indie games henceforth
just do what zolo does if u really operate on this bc i doubt anyone would willingly to choose to lose in this scenario and at some point or another i bet everyone will be faced with a similar scenario
