Ok, this makes sense.

Implosion's vote was hardly a slip, he did give the (I feel reasonable) justification of "flawed reasoning is flawed reasoning". And yes, there is a strong case to be made that Empking is scum (that's why he was forced to claim, after all), but I'll leave that until after I've seen Zdenek's response.
There was a small Imp wagon on D1—it wasn’t huge, L-3 or L-4 IIRC, but yeah.
My personal belief is that hopping on a wagon is key to, say, prevent a no lynch, but I’m not going to hop on a wagon for the sake of it; to me, that’s like the fallacy of appealing to the majority. Barring circumstances like preventing a no-lynch, or some sort of gambit or whatever, I think it is generally optimal play to put your vote on the most deserving player whether or not there is a wagon.
My motivation in voting Implosion out of the gate D2 was in part because of the sheer number of people at the end of D1 who expressed suspicion of Imp—I thought that I could successfully push that wagon.
Your case on Emp in #774, now that I’ve had a chance to re-read and refresh myself on the D1 suspicions of Emp, is persuasive. That, + the admitted fakeclaim + Emp’s very minimal defending = I’d be down with an Emp lynch and am ready to put him at L-1 if/when the town feels ready, as people are expressing hesitancy and some worries about self-hammering. But yeah, Implosion can wait. I'm convinced Emp needs to be today's lynch.
On hiatus from any new mafia commitments.
Jesus loves you. But that doesn't mean you're town.
