ik i shouldnt get too involved in this bc i think ghostface has said a lot of what im gonna say but i kinda dont like how CW is treating this election.
I want to preface that obviously from a mafia skills standpoint, CW is a better player than Alexis and is clearly the vote if people want to send their best mafia player. Like Alexis shows glimpses of high talent but I think they still need more practice.
However, I don't support CW openly insulting Alexis and the people voting for Alexis, accusing Ghostface of rigging the election, accusing people of hating them because they voted for Alexis, and accusing people of ruining their birthday for not voting them. I can't verify if the election was rigged or not, but to not even consider that people might just like memes more than raw talent or that people live in different time zones or that maybe, just like how CW sent PMs to me asking for votes, alexis also did some campaigning or that people campaigned for Alexis is just sad. Or to rephrase this differently, to walk in days before champs starts and immediately insult their competition and get mad when things didn't go their way reads as super-entitled and just as ghostface said, what's gonna happen if something CW thinks is unfair or unfavorable happens? Will they accept it gracefully or will they have another fit like they did here and in other games?
Like this is supposed to be a game and I understand that upsetting things happen but CW goes full nuclear breakdown ATE on anything they think is unfair. This attitude is fine(-ish?) for things that actually matter but in things like mafia where it's a game and the priority is fun and healthy competition I just struggle to see a world where having a meltdown at anything they deem unfair promotes the fun and healthy environment mafia should be played in.
CW's attitude rn is what is turning an obvious win into a close race. And I'd only recommend sending them if they promise to not make a big scene if they happen to not get voted into the next round or they get accused of being mafia or something.
Idk i just felt like this needed to be addressed since idk if WG is anything like OLF and wants to grow their mafia scene, but if the representative does a poor job representing their community then new ppl won't want to join. For small communities this is also a PR stunt in addition to being a friendly and unifying competition.
I also don't support Alexis going yet just because they have a nasty habit of deathtunneling without reconsidering and also maybe using AI (which is considered cheating on MU), and getting banned or called a brick wall is also not a good look.
At the end of the day I'm just an outsider looking in. And it's not to say there isn't room for improvement or that people can't change.
Or perhaps I just made the flames worse idk
I say this as someone who cares
