Acrofales, any read you have this early in the game is bound to be inaccurate, so it would be better to vote for the person who would be least damaging as scum, instead of how you are currently voting. | ||

I don't see how giving one person that authority to kill anyone is better then allowing a group to decide... Especially since you'd be forcing everyone to give their stance... Instead of just focusing on one person. Well, it's like a Captain. He would listen to the views of his crewmates, but when push comes to shove, the Captain needs to make a call on his own authority, not what the crewmates clamour for. | ||

If they lynch a townie, they have a ton of pressure on them, since they made a bad call, and we can dismantle their reasoning. Everyone still has to scumhunt and try to present a case that the captian is going to see and say "fuck, he's right", but that way we don't have scum lynching an easy target who everyone agrees "is acting scummy" with no consequences. Well... That is a good point. I guess that hinges on people's ability to give reads. | ||

Ok in an effort to keep the role out of scums hands im gonna run for captian. I think that the best course of action will be we hold a democratic vote for day 1 lynch and after we get all the information about who wants to vote who day 1 I will choose to either lynch the voted candidate or LYNCH whoever I feel like is the scummiest regardless of votes. So you get the best of both worlds. Lots of info from votes and a captain that wont think twice to squash bullshit and make the RIGHT Call. | ||

VayeshMoru has done squat, and has only trolled, good lynch on the basis of taking out the trash. Once the mayoral candidates have solidified, probably one of those, since scum are very likely to try to run, especially if they don't know what other bonuses the captain might get.

So, you aren't going to take responsibility for anything? I don't want you near the captains seat. Also you are fear-mongering, by that argument, we would have to lynch Ace day 1 every game he plays in as he is terribly damaging as scum, much more than what he contributes as town! Its a stupid argument, so don't make it, this game isn't about "reducing damage" its about getting scum lynched, and your method currently sucks for getting scum. | ||

I will kill somebody besides who the people voted for if I am sure he is scum. I expect to be killed if I am wrong, so I will be very careful in disregarding the votes of the people. If you read my post carefully, I say it would be a better method than what Acrofales is using. It's a pretty retarded method, so what does that say about what Acrofales is doing? | ||

It's a pretty retarded method, so what does that say about what Acrofales is doing? Voting for his strongest town-read to mayor isn't retarded, especially because like other mayor roles its to be expected that the captian will have some kind of protection from night kills. Also, elected scum are never going to lynch scum, so you need a pretty good certainty that the guy you elect is town. Unless you are referring to something else? Also, why are you backtracking now? You said you would be purely democratic, yet now you say "unless the circumstances are appropriate", are you changing your stance to try to get more votes or to appease me? | ||

If Mafia gets elected they will either tell you because it's irrelevant or lie to you if it's useful and you have no way of telling which. If town gets it, it's better if they don't share it with the whole thread if it somehow endangers their effectiveness. So in the end you have to vote for whoever you think is town and decent. Promises of transparency regarding the role don't mean shit. Just gonna briefly reply between classes. Yes, I realize that people can lie in a game of Mafia. I think when people are forced to make more information public, it gives more opportunities to either catch them in a lie or hold them accountable when events don't match with their story. Clearly we should all vote for someone we're pretty sure is town, and who we think is a good player. However, whether we vote for a "transparency" candidate or a "secrecy" candidate, there's a chance either way that we elect scum. In my opinion, we should force whoever we elect to give us information which we can then analyze, and we should hold them accountable for their actions. It seems like as long as we realize that they could be lying, we don't lose anything by getting more information from them. | ||

I expect to be killed if I don't do one of the following 1) Do what the people say. 2) Kill a scum. All you are going to do is mislynch a guy and expect people to be fine with that. | ||
