Mini 892 - Mayor Mafia (GAME OVER)

[kyle99]

This is only my first non-newbie game, so I don't really know anything about anyone, so I guess I'll probably just go with majority.

[MichelSableheart]

The gathering at the mayor's house was solemn. There were some heavy topics to be discussed, and no reason to wait before discussing them.

Hoopla are you RVSing? (that came close to a question I've learnt the hard way never to ask a woman.)

Why not give us your full thoughts about the mayor position?

Why not discuss what we're doing with the mayor and what the best qualities are rather than go into a pretty unnecessary RVS?

I'm thinking good qualities would be:

a) Active
b) Easy to read
c) Good scumhunter
d) Good townhunter
e) Convincing.

To be honest, I have a) down pat. b) and e) I'm certainly not and c) and d) are variable and late-game centric at best, so I'd consider myself pretty mediocre as mayor. I was only half kidding in what I wrote to charter - I doubt one extra vote will be what I need to lynch scum.

Anyone else thinking of mayoral qualities/candidates?

vote: Reckoner

I don't trust anyone who supports himself for the mayor.

support: Hoopla

I think, with her plans and logic, she's a good candidate.

Vote Monkeyman

Pretty sure he's scum after his blanket suspicion statement. Probably the first time I've ever caught a scumbag before day one.

Support Serial

Even his crackpot theories are better than everyone else's.

FOS Cathart.

[Socrates]

I am going to say this once, and then I will probably say it a few more times after someone calls me scummy for it, but there is no pro-town reason to not try and win the Mayoral election. The members of the town only have one way to guarentee that the mayor will be used in a pro-town fashion, and that is by getting themselves elected.

Anyone deliberately not wanting the position is avoiding the spotlight and the scrutiny it brings or attacking someone for campaigning for themselves will get the stink eye from me.

support Myself

I don't have the street cred to get elected, but I am going to give it the old college try. C'mon people, I've got fire! I already have a town read and a scum read! I am here to play! Vote for me!

[campaign] If elected Mayor, I swear to only be mildly incompetent, wait until my last year in office to have a drug scandal, and to think very very hard about not sleeping with my secretary [/campaign]

Damnit, I was going to say that.

There are two possible lines of thought that I have: give it to the best player you can find, or give it to someone who will crack under pressure. In other words, I think b) and c) are the most important, especially for day 1. It is also important that we make sure no one tries to let the mayor suck up all of the town's attention and fade into the background, so personally I want a mayor who is willing to attack lurkers.

I like this idea, so I'll follow suit.

a. Yeah, I'm fairly active.
b. I haven't received any complaints about not being readable, so I'll take that as a good sign.
c. Hmm, I tend to be all over the board at times, so I wouldn't stake my life on my scumhunting skills.
d. Same goes for townhunting skills.
e. Well, the one time I had to be convincing, I got lynched. So, yeah.

Basically, I wouldn't nominate me for mayor. At the same time, I'm not yet sure who to nominate either. The only person here that I've played with before is Socrates, and he just nominated himself. I've got a knee-jerk reaction to that kind of thing. Plus, he hasn't kissed any babies.

In other news, I agree with Hoopla's implied idea that we should lynch all politicians. Let's make the world a better place for everyone!

For buddying with nhammen so obviously...

I want to hear more arguments before deciding who to support for mayor.

[xRECKONERx]

a) I'm on this site all day every day except for two nights a week when I'm at work... so yeah, I'm pretty active.
b) Am I easy to read? That's up for you guys to decide, but I think my intentions are pretty transparent?
c) To be quite honest, I'm not the BEST scumhunter.
d) Conversely, I

am

good at pegging people as town.
e) I dunno... did this convince you?

Support: Hoopla

for now, because I've seen how good she can be as town. Then again, I can see how good she'd be as scum, too.

[Socrates]

Saint, don't make me give you the stink eye.

Why don't you like that I nominated myself, and what problems do you have with me saying it is pro-town for a member of the town to try and become mayor?

There are two possible lines of thought that I have: give it to the best player you can find, or give it to someone who will crack under pressure. In other words, I think b) and c) are the most important, especially for day 1. It is also important that we make sure no one tries to let the mayor suck up all of the town's attention and fade into the background, so personally I want a mayor who is willing to attack lurkers.

I would just like to clarify that I think by far the most important thing is to ensure that a townie gets it. If I had to choose between an extremely good player that I am unsure of and a weak player that I have a sure read of, I would pick the weak player every time (barring players that are actively anti-town).

I agree with this. Unfortunately, you don't look like the type to crack under pressure at all, bro.

In other news, MonkeyMan, Cathart and Kerrigan (maybe Hoopla too) are scum.

Wow, four votes on me without a good reason...

[SerialClergyman]

The problem with Socrates' theory of all town should want to be mayor is good except that if we all sat here with supports on ourselves noone would get elected.

My list of 5 criteria were totally made up on the spot by the way - if anyone can think or different ones give us all a shout, I've never played with this mechanic before.

Monkeyman is not coming with the pressure of an early wagon at all. How experienced are you, Monkey?
