Sucks to suck as my kid would say. And now I know that you're also a father ;)

That's true too. In any case, if he is neutral, he is a quite scummy neutral. Scum can now just wait for one Towny to place a false vote and then pile on. Or they wait for nolynch. Town HAS to vote Scum today or lose. And GR has got to be very gutsy not to put one vote on Scene, but to do it twice. If Scene is not the Mafioso and we take Micro at his word, the Mafia can just come online at once and end it in a matter of seconds. Come to think of it, I need to be prepared to drop the epic flavor Micro wants at any moment...on top of my schedule. WEEEEEEEEEEE

I used to do chat support, so I know what you mean by double chats. The most I've ever had to deal with was three at a time.
Did you have to deal with two (or even three) chats at a time while the system is barely unable to keep up with the constant window focus switching (due to it being barely accommodating of single chats to begin with), customers who are irate to begin with and could turn into supervisor/higher authority threats at the drop of a hat, and ridiculous time limits for silent gaps?
But at the same time, I get some cool benefits. Just this "VPN" line is insane, 35GBs of data a month all for myself, and 5,000 minutes to every operator in the country, 2,000 SMSes and 30 international minutes... A plan like this is usually expensive and I get to have it just for my labors. I do work more than at the job from before but this is nice, as someone who likes the internet a little bit too much.
The system was designed to do three at a time to begin with. I was doing chat support for Covered California as in the health insurance exchange for the state of California. I didn't work for the state of California, but a third-party vendor that the state had outsourced the bulk/all of its first level phone support and 100% of its chat support to.
However because access to health insurance is an extremely polarizing issue in the US, Covered California hides itself in an unmarked building. The third party vendor that I worked for had lots of signage about itself outside but nothing that would even hint at the fact that we were working with a state government agencies. There's a lot of concern that if someone finds out where the Covered California building was located or who the third-party vendor was working for that someone random person would show up just to turn it into an active shooter incident. It's the only time that I had work place safety training that was specifically about what to do if you find yourself in an active shooter situation.
In comparison, the Franchise Tax Board (aka state level tax people) have a really giant sign outside their building identifying that they are there. There's even a sign that has "FTB" in giant letters with an arrow pointing towards that building at the intersection that leads to it.
So besides irate customers that created issues for themselves and would demand supervisors when they don't get their way, we also got a lot of people that would go onto chat support just to troll us for no reason other than that they really were against affordable health insurance. The trolling got worse after a specific politician came into office. The policies about if we could terminate trolls varied. Sometimes we could after giving them a certain number of warnings. Sometimes we had to wait until they disconnected on their own or stopped responding to us.
They usually just stopped responding to me. I imagine that it's really frustrating for someone trying to troll me hard by spewing out every racial slur and misogynistic insult that they could think of, only to have me not even acknowledge any of it and reply back with something like "Do you have a question about health insurance coverage that I can assist you with today?"

I'm going to be brutally honest as this is dead folks chat, and there's no reason for us to lie to each other here.
I have no clue at this point.
I've been super distracted by real life stuff during this game, even more so this week. There's just a lot going on.
edit edit edit - Nevermind. Joppo just revealed that mafia team is Alto and Joppo. Micro was the neutral and decided to side with mafia team.
