<tried to make this post 3 times. Each time it failed, and then posted in size one font, because ya'll keep shit posting. Let me do my one meaningful contribution to this game
Criminals don't want to NK the robots because having robots in the game means they can sway a lynch three times.
Link, voting happens during the day phase.
Plus, if they avoid NKing the robots, they have a greater chance of killing special forces, and a relatively equal chance of eliminating power roles, unless those power roles hide in the robots.
Though, if they hide in the robots, and we assume that they are throwing the game/mafia (I'd like to take a moment and say I'm sick of how often that phrase is used. FFS sometimes a plan just doesn't work? I wish we would save throw accusations for when its /actually/ a god damn throw.) We might accidentally scumhunt out a power role we didn't want to lynch. We gotta look at the robot debate from all sides.
We want the robots, because the robots are relatively safe for being civy (if I understand demagogs post correctly that is) and because they become relatively safe from NKing (if evil guy wants to keep them safe that is) They also allow for good spots for officers to begin hunting for allies (Assuming they dont get murdered by "Sleepless Night")
Now, The mafia want robots alive because they can manipulate the votes /heavily/ with evil guy. Luckily, we'll learn when they activate it thanks to clairvoyants, and we'll be able to plan accordingly after that.
Those are just my thoughts as I return to fallout. (Go synths)
