Toad Said of Chezinu: the problem really isn't your sanity although that might be part of it.
The problem I see with voting someone like you is that unless you hit mafia d1 there will be a shitstorm d2 with half of the people screaming for your head while the other half doesn't want to lynch you.
Earlier Toad made this comment and it has stuck with me. It stuck with because it was what i have been concerned about this mayor thing since before the game. It is fine to look one move ahead, we could elect the worst player in the game mayor if we thought they were town, then by some
mini-max(a math term) game evaluation metric, that would be town in front as scum was deprived of a strategic position.
Thats poor analysis, the best analysis is what maximises game end position.
The problem is we must play so we get to Lynch the last Scum. Not just the next scum.
It is important to the vets to not get fooled and vote someone they can identify as scum to lead Town.
That is fine, but its not the whole game.
Whoever we elect they are likely going to eventually stuff up that, I am going to start to get suspicious.
By my best estimate, I expect to be in the cohort not lynched and not nk'd when that question comes up.
How at that time will i identify the vet, who the vets believed was town in light of all the new evidence i will have but the vets didnt.
That gives me real pause for thought lots of the vets use what to me are rather bizarre emotive arguments for stuff. if lower ranked players did the same stuff it would scream scum to me, but somehow I give the vets a pass because it looks to dumb to be vet. If thats how they run their mayoral duties, I am not really going to get a good feel for whether i blame them or town for the inevitable mislynches.
This narrows my field of vets somewhat to those that use rational understand not emotive baggage driven claims.
prplhz : platform Lynch Chezinu.
Chezinu: platform Lynch he(prplhz) who broke the Chezinu rule. (OMGUS Chezinu policy)
Well the list is longer but I dont give out town reads.
My criteria are I will need to be able to decide you are Town for myself in the future, that means being readable in why you do stuff.

It's just not a good situation to be in if you're mayor, no matter of your alignment unless you actually hit mafia d1 and I'm not willing to risk that without a proper read and having better / decent alternatives. Like I said, Sandro should be the #1 person to go to if he's town, he's really good as town but not so much as mafia. Shouldn't be too hard to figure him out if he starts posting
It's basicly the same reasoning for why I'm not running

I thought you would help my circles spend... Are the circles not brown enough for you? Was your vote only a joke? You underestimate the power of the Chezinu Rule.
