VCA

Vote Count Analysis, commonly abbreviated VCA, originally referred to as Voting Patterns, is analyzing the way players Vote in an effort to help determine who is Scum.

For example, if someone is on a lot of scum lynches, it could point to them being town (or vice-versa). A common "separation tactic" is for Mafia players to vote each other early in Random Voting to appear that they don't know each other.

Different actions taken by a voter may look Scummy or pro-town, and further their suspicion/defense. For example, if someone is exibiting Wishy-Washy Voting, they may be scum.

Watching voting patterns is one of the things you can do in an online Mafia game that you would be unable to do in a MeatWorld game.
