Yes that's the reason i am reading him town so far. The read is as strong as any half-an-hour-to-the-game-read can be. So yeah, not strong but the strongest i have so far. You are right i am. Because honestly i want either him or me to be the mayor. I dont really care which one in case he is town. Because of two things i think that; One, the mayor has a bodyguard. In case hapa is town and mayor he becomes even "more very very valuable" asset to the town as it will take at least two night for mafia to get rid of him. I obviously also think i am better than anyone else (or at least on par) so the same goes for me. Two, you have a tendency to "drop out" at times and/or forget/fail to send in actions/properly read the game, and therefore i can name other people too that would in my opinion be more valuable as mayor in case they are town. I also dont like you take on the pardoner, but i dont think that means anything towards your alignment. Pardoner should pretty much never use the power. Period.That’s more like it! Two words: Paternity leave. I have zero excuses this game for failing to submit anything. If you need more words for reassurance: Noon deadline. Literally could not be a more convenient time for me. Still don’t feel like I have an exception this game? Paternity leave means I am at home. I don’t even have to phonepost. The town will decide. Just know that I ran. And I ran right away. And I do want the position and will continue to campaign for it. | ||

You are saying you town read me and therefore scum read me? Not good sir collect thoughts or get caught | ||

That said, I'd say it's fairly likely mafia gets at least one of the two roles (mayor and pardoner) regardless (assuming they want to). Given that they have 2-3 votes in a 10-player game, things would have to go pretty perfectly for them to not be able to take one of the roles if they so desire.I disagree. That gives pardoner to mafia as you say here? What? You are saying you town read me and therefore scum read me?

I dont understand why you write a whole paragraph on your idea of everyone voting for the same target, then dismiss it for something mafia would never do. I dont understand why you tell me "well we will see" instead of reading the daypost again and figure out you're actually wrong as i said. Because the daypost clearly says you may vote for yourself for the mayor. Even your paragraph introduces that while you "dont know if it's true or not". Now i dont really know why you are lying in case youre mafia but at best that's just wasted time. I cannot tell Slam's alignment. My gut says he might be town but i really cant read him that well i think. However i don't understand if you read him as town so far how does whatever people say sway your opinion as you said you apparently cant read him aswell? | ||

But given trfel I am no longer feeling that. I’m just like what is trfel doing and at least rayn could be genuine rather than scum with hapa, in fact by hamblin’s razor (not sure if I spelled that right) is the most likely thing. Or is it occam’s? Whatever. Point is I still think I should be mayor because Hapa and Rayn can influence me if needed and they are both just as capable of royally screwing town if they are scum and get elected whereas I am known to pretty much suck and universally get caught as scum. Sure, I’m great at avoiding a couple lynches but I don’t have a whole lot of actual scum wins under my belt, check the record. | ||

I read everything 2-3 times but still managed to miss it >< Admittedly I was focused on the setup post and not the day post but still.

However i don't understand if you read him as town so far how does whatever people say sway your opinion as you said you apparently cant read him aswell? Like I said, I thought it was a funny idea so I didn't bother deleting it. I guess I have a strange sense of humor. I don't think anything people say would change my opinion of Alakaslam, I don't ask to figure out more about Alakaslam's alignment, rather I asked to try and help figure out yours. Your answer isn't particularly helpful, but it's also understandable, so not much was gained. Oh well. For me, Alakaslam's mayor candidacy feels genuine. While I don't necessarily agree with his "pliable" argument, it seems to come from a town perspective. I also like his tone this game, it feels like a good balance between serious and playful, which I think is hard for Alakaslam as scum. I've seen him play both very joking and very serious as mafia, but a balance like shown here is harder to achieve. On November 24 2020 08:40 raynpelikoneet wrote: Slight possibility, no?

Agree to disagree on that as I TR you. I think Hapa can pull off a bit of scum trouble even if he isn’t elected- if he is scum. But if he isn’t running then it’s you (and FF, our Jo Jorgensen) I am running against. So am I Trump or Biden? I don’t wanna be Trump OR Biden. Maybe you don’t wanna either. Let’s be Bush or Clinton | ||

I think i agree with other parts of your post, but why would Slam NOT candidate himself as mayor as mafia? Why would anyone, regardless of alignment, per se not wanna be mayor? Slight possibility, no? Given the KP formula in the setup post rather than just saying 1 KP. really? so mylo D2 if the mayor lynches town? even worse if the mayor/pardoner happens to be mafia.... | ||

I am not saying that Alakaslam wouldn't try to make himself mayor as mafia. He likely would. I feel that the way he has gone about it is genuine and towny. | ||

Maybe, i think there is also the possibility that he is shouting it because whatever happens will happen anyways and he might get town credit or even much enough town credit to be mayor. | ||
