I'm here to talk about mechanics.
Our goal is to elect ministers but it is worth it for us to be electing puppets as well, as it skips the night phase,which just removes the puppet and removes a scum-sided vote.
Ministers remain after being elected and become basically IC.

Nobody here stands out as particularly towny to me right now. I'm getting the impression that people are afraid of giving away too much info, but it's hampering the game right now.
A valid strategy is to semi-randomly vote someone in as minister here, they then become immune to becoming a puppet and can speak freely and lead the town.
Of course, we have a 1/7 chance of losing, but it is what it is.
I was thinking we could delegate this decision to either environment or health, with the caveat that they can't pick themselves.

Can you explain the mechanics because I’m a bit confused. As long as we don’t vote the PM today, we’re good and if we elect two more ministers, we win.
I agree, your post is probably the most helpful one so far, which unfortunately doesn’t tell us much.
You mean the game mechanics?
Voting puppet master is a loss, but voting out puppets is good because it removes that puppet from play and blocks the creation of new puppets for that night. Voting three Ministers is a town win, and I believe Ministers stay alive once elected.
I took the lack of action taken from you/environment to mean we weren't going with that plan in post 13, which is fine.

I’m just trying to get a handle on the game. Can you please requote that post for me?

In post 56, Department of Tweets wrote:The "soft vote against" doesn't have TOO much to do with you personally, just that 1) DoC suggested it, therefore I reacted opposingly
This doesn't make sense, why are you opposed to me suggesting other people should make decisions?

To be clear, I didn't suggest that we vote for Department of Health, I suggested that they or Environment, both of who hadn't posted yet, would come in and solo elect somebody (not themselves) for the vote

This was what I was suggesting we do, but then it didn't happen, and then I decided to vote for Environment instead, because I liked their posts the most.

In post 151, Department of Tweets wrote:i was gonna say i wanted to wait until culture posted more to decide whether or not they've been puppetted, then i thought "well i guess it doesn't matter actually", then i had that previous thought.
tho i guess getting rid of a puppet sooner would be better than later?
Like I said earlier, it's to our benefit to vote out puppets because it denies an anti-town vote/voice and they can't make a new puppet the next night. I'm not a puppet, however. I wanted Health to elaborate on their reads because I'm trying to sus out the puppet. Incidentally, why'd you drop the tweet talk?

OK
In my opinion Department of Justice has changed the way they postin between days 1 and 2, and everybody else feels like the same person. Did they ever explain why they went from voting agriculture to themself?
...I think you're assuming that I had hesitation in voting you because my vote came late - I didn't really, I simply didn't want to rush the phase for any reason, especially since I would have been the person to hammer and stop the phase right away. I don't see how voting for you last second is a sign that I'm a puppet - I voted you so you'd go through despite the Minister wavering, and I was pushing you indirectly by pushing against others.
Again, this includes the Ministers and myself, so it's not very convincing to me. Most of the rest of the playerlist mostly just votes for themselves and avoids interacting that much, so this isn't something unique to you.
I think you are misunderstanding or misrepresenting the situation

The problem is I'm confirmed town to myself, and Environment is confirmed town, so from my point of view you haven't shown any interactions with people who can be puppet or puppet master
did Justice just make a towny post?
legitimately, thanks for the reminder. I forgot about that
also yeah im down VOTE: Department of Health
if you somehow end up being puppetmaster gg
Tweets was N2 puppet, so who was N1?
Looking at game state where DOJ wasn't hammered but both were voting for them, I'd say it would have to be one of those two. Because puppet/PM wouldn't vote for town here
A puppet could very possibly be a disciple/puppet of PM/cult leader. However you’re not doing too much to push them as PM.
and even less to try to get yourself elected.
I didn't say I thought they were PM, I said I don't know why they said that.
The reason to elect me is that I have a time schedule that doesn't match with anybody else, including the puppet. I believe I've brought this up but it was summarily ignored.
I told all of you on day 2 and Culture is probably the puppet master because Tweets was pushing for them to be voted.
Also I've been playing up a persona this game but I'm not a puppet or pm I'm still town.
So if we assume that Agriculture is PM and that Tweets was N2 puppet, then who makes the most sense as a hypothetical N1 Agriculture puppet?
Someone was puppeted N1 and I don’t believe it was Tweets.
It was probably culture
Care to put your money where your mouth is?
VOTE: Department of Culture
Personally I think it's clear that I wasn't puppeted due to timezones and me pushing the same things on days 1 and 2 (and voting for environment and health)
Also you're putting very minimal effort into analyzing things today when asked
