Space Station Mafia - Page 18

Hey. I propose we vote for the space janitor guy so he can clean all the shit off of the hermetically sealed durasteel floor panels.

But actually - lets try to get this thing back on track. (In case that has already happened, let me mention I'm typing this after coagulation proposed shooting all of page 13 out the airlock. I type on my iPhone so posting takes a while.)

First, I'm completely new to games with meta, but it seems like one of the richer parts of mafia analysis so I'd like to give it a try. Are there any veteran meta analyzers who wouldn't mind giving me a few pointers or advice on where to start? Either in the thread or in PMs?

Now, let me post my thoughts about the election, since that seems like the main focus of day 1 so far.

As I said above, it seems like having the captain agree to post any secret information they get with the role would be a good idea. The only game I've followed in real time with a day 1 election was Aperture Mafia, where Wheatley telling the town what power they got revealed the existence of the black market, which gave the town some really valuable information.

I'm not sure what kind of information there could be that would be beneficial to town to keep secret. If the pro-secrecy candidates have some examples of the kind of information or powers which they would keep secret and where that would help the town, then I think I could be persuaded to change my mind. However, the first thing I can think of is that keeping captaincy powers secret would give the captain leverage to push their reads by claiming to have hidden information, which would hep the town only if the captain's reads are correct.

So as for voting - So far the only candidates seem to be sandroba and acrofales. (and EchelonTee, but I think that was more of a joke since all he posted was "vote for me and I'll lynch _______" a few times.) I'm not comfortable yet with Sandroba's pro-secrecy stance, as I explained above, and I'm also not sure about voting for someone who says "I'll kill whoever I feel like and you can thank me later". I'm not saying I couldn't be persuaded otherwise, but for now I'm not comfortable voting for sandroba. As for acrofales, he actually seems to have withdrawn his candidacy. I guess if I had to vote right now, I would vote for neither of the candidates (sandroba and EchelonTee, if he's serious). I don't know of razor flash is actually running, but he'd probably have my vote at the moment on a combination of best speech and saying things I agree with.

And fuxk, now I'm 20 minutes late for class and I still haven't finished my oatmeal T_T
