Confirmed.
I see no reason to let Spawn live longer than they have to. Once we stop voting Spawn, they begin to mobilize. I do not see a reason to not vote for Spawn.
To be clear on my double negative:
**Vote Spawn
**
**Chronos, I can not place a second vote on the Spawn, correct? **
I think both Meeko and Drain Bead have the right idea. If we know we’re going to get one spawn every summer, and we have no real idea of who the scum are, we should use one of those votes doing something constructive.

vote story
was going to vote either you or sach depending on who posted first.
quick question: can we give the spawn some sort of cute cuddly backstory as opposed to this horrible identifier. i mean seriously, its the 21th century we should have moved past labels. i mean let’s at least give a name and a protozoan face to those whom we will kill blindly. that way we can develop sutitable angst about their suffering and ultimate death although they be only tools of a repressive underground regime that expects to wreak havoc.
thanks for the consideration.
Correct. Your two votes have to be on two different organisms.

You can come up with whatever backstory you want; don’t let me stop you. And the repressive regime is underwater, not underground.

We could call the first one Dino, short for dinoflagellate…

I don’t understand the spawn mechanic but I don’t see any harm in voting for the spawn with our extra vote which should just leave us in a normal game. On the other hand I think that killing scum should be more important then voting for the spawn even if the odds are much lower. That being said:
Vote spawn
Killing Scum is ultimately the most important thing. However, and I’m sure someone who can do math will come along and confirm this, not voting Spawn has the potential to greatly shorten the game. If we kill two Pondies toDay, and wake up Tomorrow with the same amount of Scum and TWO Spawn, it really puts us in a much worse position. Voting for Spawn every Day basically removes that mechanic from the game in any meaningful way, and turns this into a normal game of Mafia.
Of course, there could be mechanics built into roles that make this plan problematic–in fact, I’m sure that Chronos, in designing this game, realized that it was easy to neutralize the Spawn game mechanic and may have done something in his role design to counteract that. But up to the point where that becomes obvious, we should probably all be splitting our votes between players and Spawn.
But the Spawn are technically scum, and they are randomly voting scum.
When it comes time for Spawn to vote, will those votes be itemized as they are for the living players? Apologies if this has been asked and answered.
or we could call them pollux

vote spawn
I think we have to get rid of a spawn every summer. Lyse the known threat and hopefully get lucky on a scum.

Assuming I’m interpreting this question correctly: At the end of Summer, it will be revealed whom the Spawn is/are voting for.
But that random vote is a good thing for town. Let’s say we have a doc that gets outed a true scum is going to try and kill the doc, either through lyseing or night kill, but the spawn won’t try to kill the doc and that hurts the scum. I think that’s a pretty good reason to leave the spawn around even over a mildly suspicious person.
