if you let a vet live long enough to do "dangerous theorizing" hes gonna kill the mafia team

Alright, I'll defer to traditional wisdom on the vet thing. My candidacy still stands however. I still want the job.

Please go back and read the analysis on XXXVII, basicaly scum has to kill vets so they don't get raped by analysis and strong thread presence, thus they are the ideal target, noobs are much more likely to sheep and thus are fine to keep around. If you have time read XXXVII, it will explain alot

I may have made the exact opposite assumption you did.
If the black team is sk types then I don't see them cooperating.
If the black team is a second mafia family you are correct.
I don't know which they are. I assumed sk types.

Actually it is black and baby-blue. This is tl. A wonderful contribution, so what do you think of the current candidates lemon? Are any of them worth voting for?
Well, I think that the 'vote or no vote for day 1 lynch' platform is a moot point.
Someone running with a day 1 vote could easily be mafia, since mafia would have a good shot at tipping the vote, especially now when there is no real suspicion on anyone. Then again they could easily be not mafia and just want to use the vote as a way to win the popular vote to make a vote for them seem like a vote for fairness.
Similarly, someone running no day 1 vote could easily be mafia since, obviously getting a free kill day 1 is good for mafia. But they could easily be not mafia and just trust their own mafia sniffing capabilities better than that of the town in the case of a vote.
So basically, as of right now, I have not seen any compelling reasons to vote for anyone, I'm gonna wait to see how the debates continue and vote for whoever I think has the strongest ideas for further down the road. Idk, this is my first game though, so maybe I'm thinking too hard about it.

Yeah, if a vet is doing theorizing, and gets killed, the thought process goes like this:
Was his theory correct, and mafia killed him because he was dangerous?
Or maybe his theory was wrong and mafia just want us to think it's right
Or maybe it's right, and mafia want us to think they want us to think it's wrong...
Into infinity.
Normally scum will kill vet players because they do become dangerous to them and have strong analysis skills. Being killed doesn't validate your analysis though, you have to take it on its own merit. That's a problem a lot of TL towns have is sheeping to stronger players' analysis, but I think this mostly stems from a lack of analysis from the majority of town, causing a reliance on the efforts of these few.

Well the fact that there are four of them with a single KP among the four suggests they are a team (if is one kp each we are already in HUGE trouble) . What worries me is that we don't know their win condition, so we have to take them out asap because of the possibility that they win when scum is dead even if most of the town is still standing.

Well generally day 1/2 the vets haven't really collected enough data and maybe they'll push someone who's town. Just cause they're vet doesn't mean they're 100% right. It's easy to get out from a vet's analysis if it's early, but it's much harder if it's later on since more things will have happened for them to make a more robust argument. I dunno, I usually never see newbies get killed early on, it's either mid tier players, high tier players, or blue snipes.
@Jackal
You like to tunnel...A LOT. Because of that you almost lost town the game in a recent mafia cause you pushed for pandain's lynch so hard that if there wasn't a vigi, mafia would have 100% won. I don't know if I trust you as mayor deciding our first lynch as well as a figurehead of sorts for town. While town voting day 1 is a crap shoot, leaving it in your hands might not necessarily be any better. This is because I noticed you didn't say you would say who you were going to lynch first to town before lynching. At least if it comes down to a town vote everyone can see where the lynch is going. If you just lynch without telling anyone, that'd be very bad. Will you be telegraphing your lynch target first or will you just be shooting the guy? I don't really care for cowboy mayors.

Or scum or third party trying to confuse the town, thats a stupid assumption IMO, anyone can say anything about the setup without it being necessarily what they know, for example if I claimed I thought the scum team consisted of 11 people rather then 6 and you then told me that I was wrong, that would not prove I am scum.
Im not saying jackal is scum, but him making a mistake means very little

All entirely possible. All the more reason to keep the mayors day 1 lynch independent.
You know as well as I do that day 1 is at best a crap shoot for town.
Promising to vote by majority rule eliminates the mayors strongest attribute - day 1 independence.
Might as well not have a mayor.

to be fair pandain is a scummy player regardless of alignment and generally an all around good lynch

There are currently 30 players remaining.
There are currently 16 Townies remaining.
There are currently 4 Police remaining.
There are currently 6 Mafia remaining.
There are currently 4 Third party remaining.
Ok this is pretty simple. Barring extremes, a person in the police can claim freely and be elected mayor. Either mafia or third party would have to trade their entire squad to stop the police from doing this. Agree to this or not, it basically gives us a townie with a pre-set townie circle as mayor. So if you are a green townie it would be in your best interest to drop out of the race if this is to gain momentum.
The extremes of course would be the game setup for-seeing this and giving scum and third party methods to circumvent this.
1) Infiltration. I have a really strong gut feeling that certain team members will have alternate win conditions. So police should decide amongst them who would be the best mayor and most likely town affiliated person.
2) ??? It's insane mafia, so this could backfire, but it beats me how. Any suggestions or criticisms are NECESSARY, because what the fuck do I know. Insane #1 raped me.
