Alright, here's some of my thoughts right now.

Standards for a King:
1.King should not lynch anyone before 24 hours. Don't be impulsive, don't be stupid. Obviously you should in fact wait until last moment possible(but don't forget :p.) There's nothing worse I can imagine than having a king execute someone at the first second. :/
2.Calling/executing. Also should not be used,especially right now. I'm thinking we could save this towards late game. For example, if there's 2 town and one scum left, king can easily just execute both of them and win the game. With only 9 people, this isn't too impossible either.

Don't be too rash. Follow the majority, at least as a guideline. We should probably decide as a group when to use call/execute. Which reminds me:

Ace, does using execute AND Use: Excalibur mean you can get two kills in one day?

Now as for the day 1 lynch.

A big problem in every mafia game is inactivity. I don't want another drag_ being able to squeak by with barely any posts. We should immediately show it is not okay to be inactive.

Inactive players hurt the town as they waste lynches down the road as the town will need to try to separate the mafia from the inactives.

We should therefore lynch an inactive day one. This will force the assassins to discuss and not be able to turtle, increasing the chance they will slip up.

The other options are to
A) Lynch a scummy person. Take a look at Team Micro Mafia II, they found both scums day 1
B) Use Merlin. This would be like an abstain. If there are no inactives and no one is scummy, it's a good idea to use Merlin
C) Use Excalibur. This is just random. I feel this is a waste of an action. We should focus on building a good town environment.

You may instead of executing a player use one of the Relics at your convenience.

Firstly, the king should not have any autonomy at all. The town should decide what the king does.

Secondly, I don't think you understand what the king does. The king can only kill one person each round. He basically decides the lynch (like the mayor)

Thirdly, follow the majority as a rule. This way we can tell if the assassin is the king and just using his role to get an extra KP

I disagree, actually. I totally agree that he should follow the town, but sometimes you have to follow your gut. For the early days I highly agree that he should do what the town says, but just leaving that up to the town increases the possibility for scum to manipulate the whole thing. Now, if a king just does whatever he wants, is that suscipcious? Of course! However, leaving him a bit of room is a good thing imo.

Following your gut is an easy way for the Assassin to gain KP. It's easy for an assassin to go against the town and execute a townie because it 'went against his gut'. We would have no read on the king.

Think of it this way.
Your way:
Townie is king and goes against his gut: High chance of killing town
Assassin is king: Easy extra KP

There is no benefit besides an easier job for the Assassin

Your afraid of the scum manipulating the results. This is public, so therefore if they start messing around, we'll be able to tell. However, if the scum is the king and manipulates the results, it's private, we won't be able to tell.

Lastly, remember. we only have 2 mislynches until lylo. We cannot let the scum to gain a hold of any of our lynchs
