I gotta repeat this before I go to bed because I'm still seeing it.

Please don't ask to be signed up if you already are!

I never thought I would have to say that.

because mafia will want to be mayor obviously.

so if 1/7 people are mafia, right now, by electing me when my behavior is both known and independant of role, there would be 6/7 chance that Im a townie.

After the roles are assigned and mafia start gunning for office, it much more likely that a candidate will be from the mafia.

You're assuming that a higher percentage of Mafia than of townies will run for mayor, which is not necessarily true, and wasn't, in the last game.

its a smart mafia strategy.....mayor is an extremely valuable position for a mafioso to hold

I don't expect them to dodge it twice

Once the game starts, you'll have to ask yourself if every candidate is applying to further mafia goals.

But anyone who declares themselves known is free from ulterior motives.

Plus, I'll wear these cool elky-style sunglasses when I post

What fusion is saying is that someone declaring their candidacy after the game starts is more likely to be scum. By the way, I was kidding about my candidacy. Don't vote for me. Not that anyone would've to begin with ;(.

Hopefully rule 3. "You must vote" will help with the inactivity.

What do you expect?--be precise. That one mafioso will run for Mayor? Two? All of them? I agree with you that it's a smart strategy to have a Mafia candidate. It's not necessarily smart for the Mafia to have multiple candidates--in fact, I think that's a bad idea for a number of reasons. Townies will not have the same compunctions about multiple candidates. If a smaller fraction of the Mafia than of the townies runs for Mayor, then you've given us a reason not to vote for you.

Chuiu, the "you must vote" rule sounds promising, but what's gonna happen if you don't? You should make the consequences more clear. I think a 3 strikes rule would work best -- you can't miss more than three votes in a row or you're out of the game. If you just kill off people who miss a vote, or some number of votes over a period of time, you're unfairly punishing townies for having inactives.
