I'm sorry, maybe I should rephrase - why was the bodyguard check suggested in the first place and/or what kind of benefit do we get from doing it? That's what I'm confused about.

And activity of course.
I don't think my last stint as mayor would make me a good choice for the post, but I would suggest that the mayor be someone without the massive ego.
On the contrary, people with massive egos have higher opinions of themselves and are more likely to be driven to WIN out of said egos.

Only 16 posts for me? Pah. Pathetic.
Question: do town-aligned bodyguards still protect mafia-aligned officials in this game?

I'm abstaining because I'd like to vote for L but haven't had a chance to examine him or the other candidates too closely.

And it gets OLD to see vet players always take mayor pardoner.. what's the freaking point, let some new players learn how to play the game.
Also.. edited the last post to show it in count order, and placed old post in spoiler so it's preserved. Removed the mods from the counts as well... We newer players had games before these to learn a bit... some of us did very well; others, not so much =[ Though, I will agree that they're all hooligans.

It doesn't matter as much (or at least, not in the same way) as if this were a town v mafia game. Whoever we end up electing will have the same goals - kill more mafia - so the real issue is simply KNOWING whether the mayor is mafia or not and figuring out when the most optimal time to kill him is.

In the end I think the game gets interesting once DTs build a circle of trust with grens/blues and we can really get some traction. Provided the DTs don't check mafia 2x nights in a row, or stumble across the GF - which could make life very hard. More preferable to have a mafia mayor than a pardoner, because the pardoner has that much more power in the late game to cement a mafia lead. We should watch out for this.
I've been trying to wrap my mind around the bodyguard/substitution process for the last day or so, and I think DT checks on bodyguards would help to determine the nature of our officials. I'm still working out the details, though.

My only fear is that ZERO people have pushed back against my claim against emp, and a number of people have tagged along well after i took pains to make it clear i wasn't dropping the accusation. Either one of the mafia teams is using him as a sacrifice to get, say, ver, to look good by supporting my position, or emp is green/blue and afk like a moron. Given his vote, it would seem that he isn't afk, which leads me to believe that killing him will at least give me some information. I'm actually more worried about how much information regarding clue interpretation for this game I can glean from a red or green flip than anything else.
Like i said; Grow some fucking balls. L, I'll nibble... only a bit. The clues we have regarding Emp are that his name has links to light, fire and heaven, but it seems to me that "thinking that an angel had saved the town" is more a manner of speech; a being masked by light is not necessarily the same as an angelic being. Consider BloodyCobbler's profile - plenty of blue-ish light in there, and it seems that he was eager to set you up as super-eager to lynch Ace.
I'm curious as to why no one's focusing on the hyena-laughter/psychopathic noises. Madnessman feels pretty red-herring to me, but who else could it be?

I think it's that we know Chez won't win; L doesn't want to support anyone and picks a joke vote, and Bill is an idiot...

Yeah, no shit I think it makes a difference, otherwise I wouldn't have voted. Well, that certainly puts everything into a whole new perspective for me. I appreciate your honestly.

second, assume he is an idiot townie: he would be mad at me for my spamming the thread, and for lumping him in with bloodycobbler, ace, mystlord, etc. with my analysis
final analysis: I do not think redtooth is mafia, but I DEFINITELY HAVE BEEN WRONG IN THE PAST LOL U KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no. no on what? it's one or the other, and you aren't as strong of a player as ace so you cant just be like "im ace i have bodyarmor u cant kill me" like ace does because he knows that nothing will stick to him. i really do think you are mafia, though. because I've done none of the above. have I defended ace or redtooth at all this game? perhaps it would serve you to count the number of posts I've made that haven't been attempting to be exceedingly neutral and attempt to contribute something other than pointless name-calling. well, screw that.
and, scratch that - I have been pissed off at you, and it is because you spam the thread with analysis - but only because it's bad.

Fulgrim, quality posts take time and effort to construct. I'm not as fast of a typist or as streamlined of a thinker as some of these other people are, so I haven't been able to type out something that's significant and relevant when we're going as fast as 20 pages a day. On top of that, most of our vets are doing the same thing they've been doing for the past several games (i.e. accusing each other), so I find myself unable to participate in such discussions. As for clue analysis, I'm of the opinion that the Day 1 clues weren't any stronger or weaker than previous games... and so having learned my lesson from last game I wasn't going to buy into it as strongly as I did this game.
Zato, in reference to this post:
Imagine that I'm a mafia member from the Gambino family. I know that neither the mayor or the pardoner are from my ranks, and we have no infiltrated bodyguards. Since my family's goal is to kill all members of the Sumiyoshi family, this includes potentially killing the mayor / pardoner, because there's a good chance at least one of them is from the other family. Because they will be immune to hits due to bodyguards, getting the list of bodyguards will be quite valuable and possibly well worth the trade. I think there's a problem with this line of thinking. The mafia (S) are going to have to spend 4 KP to get themselves rid of the bodyguards before they can get rid of the officials... but that's going to take two nights of potentially wasted KP while the other family is free to strike; or one night if the other mafia decides to substitute their two guys. I *doubt* that the (G) who are in control of the office will want to substitute any guys, because it only makes them more vulnerable if such a list is leaked.
If the (S) decides to substitute and while the Mayor is (G), then it will obviously make the Mayor/Pardoner more vulnerable to attack after the two town BGs have been killed or lynched, though this would be suspicious for the (S)-aligned BGs as well after two of their comrades have died. If such a substitution is made, then likely we won't be seeing any BGs die until later in the game... but then, it's still possible to find a mafia.
I think the BG list should be made public. The DTs can check them, and the mafia can choose to waste their KP on them, if they so choose. Killing 2-4 people just to get to 1 seems awfully inefficient.

What do you think about publicly releasing the BG list?
