I'm going to prioritize my vote based on who the mayor will lynch day 1, and the candidates position in the draft order (Alongside filtering out people who seem scummy of course).
The draft order thing is because if the person is scum, they are less likely to have a top tier role, and therefore can't abuse their power to the same extent. Any candidates seeking my vote should provide this information

Obviously you should vote me since I am both in the middle of the order (albeit low middle) and also have a lynch target. Also, I put up a picture of Mike Haggar. And he is awesome. He can beat up any stupid stick figures and numbers mean nothing to him.

no, they dont have platforms, but I was putting out who I would like to run based on there performance this game so far.

I look up to you and your play as something to emulate, and while your past performance in leading town is impressive, you haven't done much of that this game. Or perhaps i should say your number 4 behind sand/jumbo/rad. I might vote for you, but you got to give me more reasons

also, I forgot that jumbo is near the top of the picking list, so I am less interested in voting him Mayor.

I'm announcing Mig's candidacy for Mayor!

His platform is: he is very likely town!

I will likely be running for pardoner, depending on how the voting goes.

What's wrong with a platform of killing scum? =O

I'm not voting anyone for stuff they did on day 1 really, besides maybe activity. It's pretty easy for people to talk a lot on Day 1 about mechanics and role picking, because it doesn't really reflect any opinion on any other player. Especially in a game with 3 scum families, I'm sure they came up with different picking plans, some of which could potentially fall in line with what town believed to be optimal. This further obfuscates things, because even plans that look pro-town have the potential to be used to help one scum family's strategy to the detriment of the other two.

If any of those three want my vote for today, then they're going to have to provide reasons for today. Why should I give someone immunity? If they get pardoner, how will they use it? Who will be their day 1 lynch?

To answer these questions myself, I haven't decided who I'm going to lynch if I get voted into office. Not yet, anyways. I'll be willing to take town input, but that will be more of a discussion between me and the rest of town. It's not going to be a vote. It's not going to just be me picking someone. It's going to be me discussing with town, and then we can come up with a candidate we can mostly agree on. Some criteria we may wish to consider or omit in this picking process is activity and queue position. i.e., is it worth it to lynch an active player day 1, or one of the many lurkers? Should we avoid lynching into the top of the list?

If I receive the spot of pardoner, I probably won't use my pardons ever, unless there's something silly like a vote rig or scum politician swinging the vote. It would only be used in a reactionary measure, unless town decides it would be beneficial to use is as a no-lynch. (I think there's scenarios near lylo where this is beneficial. I might need to read up)

I want immunity, because I don't feel like getting shot on night 1 again. As well, when I'm bullet-proof I go on a scum killing rampage across the thread.

Also, I made you a graphic novel. That took a lot of effort.

Platforms are irrelevant. Plans are irrelevant. What you say you are going to do with the lynch or pardons is irrelevant.

All that matters is denying the positions from scum.

Vote dumb pardoner who will pardon twice and wreck the game for town versus vote in smart pardoner who won't pardon unless absolutely necessary.

Vote in smart mayor who'll use the lynch in a good way versus voting in a dumb mayor who's going to randomly lynch a pro-town player within the top queue spots because he feels like it.

Which seems like a better alternative in each case? Also, how are you going to determine who's scum or not without discussing anything?

I disagree.
We don't know which people are scum, and the more information you have on the candidates, the more informed your vote can be. As such, plans/platforms/foreseen actions are important. It also gives scum candidates more chance to slip up. And even if it was a vote between townies only, one will be a better choice than the others.

Discussion is good, but in the end platforms are pure fluff, especially in a game with 3 different scum teams. Walls of text detailing your plans and policies say quite little about your alignment, especially if the person in question is someone like Radfield. Furthermore, promises are meaningless if the person being elected isn't town.. Obviously we are never going to elect a "dumb" pardoner or mayor, given the fact how many solid players there are in the game.

Anyway, Mig is likely town and everyone should be voting for him. Yes, take my word for it

Hey syllo, why is Mig so likely to be a townie?

What has he done that's warranted him this status?

Purely based on behavioral analysis. I've been talking to him on skype since the game began and I think I know him well enough to make that judgment. Nothing is obviously certain, but at this point it's about as solid as you can get. He also has a nice draft position and is a very good town player, making him overall an excellent mayor candidate.

I'm curious. Are we overall wanting to vote someone high in the draft order to protect high value roles or low in the draft to limit the abusiveness of the mayoral position?

Syllogism you seem to trust Mig. That's great, but if Mig is mayor, I strongly ask that you don't try to be pardoner. You two seem to be cooperating at some level but I feel the Mayor and Pardoner should be completely separate, working against each somewhat, rather than together. I think it's better right now if the two can't work together as one.

Oh ok then, I thought I was your lynch candidate or something. I do agree that a town pardoner would be better for us then a mafia mayor and mr wiggles is a reasonable guy. Although there are multiple factions and it is likely at least one has chosen not to have a candidate, it's logical that there are multile scum candidates. I would support a mayor who can accurately pick out a scummy guy in the running.

Also, syllo and mig on the same scum team would be pretty lol. I'll believe that syllo thinks mig is town, and that syllo isn't scum. But that's gut stuff, I want to hear what mig has to say.

I like radfield or jimbo, as soon as they identify their lynch target I'll choose between them, but I would prefer wiggles or mig as pardoner, since I feel they are town.

Mayor = Smart, spotlighted
Pardoner = Clearly town

Those are the aspects I'm looking for.
