If only you were doing something to lend yourself credibility other than posting nothing.

@ Z-Bo
So you would feel comfortable to vote as a party leader someone you are not really familiar with ? Do you like sandroba plan or do you trust his analytical skills ?

You're not considering the possibility of #3 in your reasoning. You're saying Keir will have the confidence, but he hasn't said that at all. I don't think that from he posts he necessarily gives off the impression of confidence. Bah you sniped me. I honestly still don't understand it, but doesn't make Kei scummy. In fact I think he's falling more into his town meta, especially with him snapping at iamperfection the way he did. Not a strong read, but one I'm comfortable with for now. Show nested quote +Meanwhile, sir Hapa, While we are here, gathered and proud. You stated earlier that the main criteria for our party leader resides in him being a strong town leader. While I agree that is ideal, your view is in contrast to mine. Have you read this post? http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=382922¤tpage=20#384Do you agree with my logic? I really think we should focus on a strong - yet easy to pin down - player. This makes sense, even because it is difficult to find a strong player that has a strong townie read on them, as most of the strong players are not so easy to make a solid enough read day one. Let me know what you think. We completely agree with each other no? I'm sure I've mentioned multiple times that my ideal player is a meta-transparent player with a strong track record as town.
Oh, right. I was skipping along and saw this:
We need to vote someone as party leader who we are sure is town. Not rationalize picking a vet because he makes accurate "town reads" as either alignment. That's fucking stupid.
And that led me to believe that you prioritized absolute townieness over everything else. I've seen your other posts now, so I guess you just exagerrated here and wanted to emphasize the second not-bolded part.

@ sandroba
As a party leader, would you give the town more reasoning for your town reads on your party members than you did for your town reads in our Looney Game ? If you promise to do so, I would like to elect you as a party leader. I liked your idea the best so far, it really looked like you had the town best-interest in mind, and I trust your analytical skills. I would appreciate if you chose vocal players in your team.

I'd feel comfortable in the sense that he is more transparent to most of the players here and in the sense that I could always read his previous games. If I were to choose the player that I would feel most comfortable with (i.e Hapa), this would be worse for town, because there are probably less people familiar with hapa's play.
What is your opinion on what I've said? Who would you think fits my description better, for instance?

Well I guess I got sniped. Yes, also note that I specifically asked for detailed reads, not just "eh, he's town". I'm gonna be pretty suspicious of him should he get elected on those grounds and fail to give good reasoning for his votes. I really really want to hear other people's thoughts on this though.

Look at it this way:
I have no idea who any of you are, and none of you know me. Therefore, I can't abuse any preconceived notions or reads you have on me because they just dont exist. If I'm elected the leader, I promise to publicly consider every move before it happens. I will try to do so in such a manner that hopefully leaves no sour taste in anyones mouth.

Dienosore. Get off your ass and start playing properly. Its does not help anyone when you keep making fluff posts and pissing people off

I propose myself as a party leader I'm relatively new in these forums but I think I have good instincts to find the scum so I think I would be a nice party leader. If anybody would like to elect me as a party leader, I would like to let you know that I have usually correct reads on new town players. Right off the bat, I would have Clarity and Iamp in my team right now because they are as involved in this game that their usual townie selves. I don't know yet for the third member. Of course, these reads are subject to change but I would pick them if I had to choose right now.

If you're intent on becoming leader, your first step is to establish yourself as town. And talking only about yourself isn't going to get you there. I would like to hear about your policies for choosing people for your party, as well as if you were not to be elected which candidate you feel most comfortable about voting for and why.

EBWOP sorry about not cutting out his "poster" -_-

I believe in democracy. I would open up the party selection process to everyone in the game by making a poll and taking the top two choices.

This is a much better post than dinosaur guy, but again:
Who would you propose as an alternative if you weren't to get elected? We are going to go nowhere if everyone just votes for themselves.

I said I would vote marv, barring a scummy vibe from him. And, yes, I feel I have a decent grasp of when marv is acting scummy. The key is, though, that I thoroughly trust marv's ability to make town reads. In the event that he is scum, though, even a scum marv can't afford to pick other scum without some damn good reasoning that they are town, which I believe could be seen through. Do explain good sir.

You'll notice that we're currently in 600 AD Guardia. You're also playing a themed game hosted by none other than Greymist. Please keep that in mind. (Hi Mementoss, you're cool too). Basic vote mechanics for this game seem to boil down to -identify town -vote town to lead the party -Profit -Kill Mafia/Lavos -More Profit
What are people's thoughts on claiming that their character belongs to the 600 AD era and selecting the leader based on that. (YOU ONLY CLAIM "600 AD") Possibly selecting the entire party from within the era, assuming enough of a pool emerges. I linked Chronopedia above in case anyone feels the need to check it out. ~17ish native characters from 600 AD. I think our hidden numbers are influenced by the current era, and events can have varying degrees of success or failure depending on which specific players (not just town or scum) are in the party. Come play the setup speculation game with me please! How about we don't speculate on setup. What is speculating going to do? It's just an opportunity for scum to mislead us when they shouldn't have that opportunity. is it scummy to say what i think? It's anti-town to give scum information they can use. You just told scum your town read (assuming you're town). Now scum will value killing your town read higher than they would have. Way to go.
This is a bit belated, but: while we give scum information from town reads, this can't be helped in this particular setup. We obviously aren't going to try to select scum in our parties, so anyone who is selected or a serious nominee is automatically going to be a high priority target. This isn't your standard mafia game, so I would recommend you stop treating it as such.

If it were not clear in the OP, A new party leader will usually be elected before each event. Just something I'm not sure I put out there.

As far as my vote for the election goes, I'm going to vote for myself no matter what. I'm not going to propose any alternatives.
If I don't win, well shucks, at least I tried

@ gk
I'm thinking at sandroba right now. I would like him to answer some of my questions first of course. For your information, I'm a little familiar with his meta and I've played a game with him. Truth being told, Hiro and me decided to kill him N1 so I didn't interact with him so much but enough to know that mafia players shit their pants when he is town I've stated it before but I don't mind to restate it again. I think that his plan would protect the town interests the best. I think the members of elected party are going to be put at risk after the resolution of the event because they are going to get closer to confirmed town players if everything go well. So we might as well let sandroba chose other players than the ones that are eventually prove themselves town just because they rock at it. I trust him to get good reads in our first day. His idea is good but that doesn't make him necessarily town so I need more from him.
@ sandroba
Do you have any early reads that you would like to share with us ?
@ everyone In fact, I think that it is important for every player that wants to be the party leader to give us frequent and updated reads on the players. I expect constructive posts and great activity from these players.

Hmm, seems we are campaigning for just the initial party leader position...
I STILL VOLUNTEER MY SERVICES

Man, am I the only person who doesn't want to be party leader? Maybe that sounds scummy because "Keir doesn't want to be held accountable for his choices", but I'm certainly willing to say who I want to be party leader and who I would want in the party. Its just that I don't trust my ability to read people enough to put the final decision into my own hands :o
