My inclination is to vote for Pandain, especially since we know pretty well how he plays pro-town, and thus can scrutinize his posts for suspicious activity.

The day 1 lynch is going to be huge. We need to watch the mayor veeeeeeery closely when he makes it.

If forgetforeveritis isn't just a flavor thing, I would guess that it means people can be misinformed about their roles. I'm not sure how that would work, but in this game, who knows?

My inclination is to go with Pandain. I agree with whoever it was who asked why Fishball has to be mayor as well as the informant from his circle. What can he do as mayor that he can't do already? What crucial information does he gain by being mayor, and why can't he just bring it to the town anyways from a non-leadership position? Same argument for annul -- if the information is that important, it shouldn't be used as a bargaining chip, it should be common knowledge.

I like Pandain because I believe that he is a transparent and honest townie, at least judging by last game. If he's red, it will become very obvious very quickly. I don't like the thought of a mayor being able to hide information from the town, and my gut tells me Pandain would have let slip if he has this capability.

The mayor's actually pretty damn powerful in this game. Being able to outright determine the first lynch is big, as well as getting two votes. I want the motives and reasonings of that person to be as open and obvious as possible.

All right, I'm going to lay down some of my own cards on the table.

I'm seriously considering running for mayor. What I am going to divulge at this point is that I have what I believe is a very powerful role, but I wouldn't feel comfortable revealing it without some level of protection (bodyguards). Because of the nature of the role, I would be able to confirm that I am what I say I am by the second day. The role does not involve the ability to PM others.

If I run for mayor, I will outright roleclaim then and there what I am under the assumption that it would be enough to get me elected.

I want to know if this is a good idea. I realize that it would be asking others to elect me purely because of my role -- I am fairly new at this game and made some horrendous decisions in Haunted Mafia, though if you check my boogeyman visits I had some pretty good hunches about who was red.

Thoughts?

The downside of secrecy is due to the nature of this particular game it's impossible to reveal any information without putting your head on the line. It's not exactly possible to be subtle -- it's all or nothing. I'm not in a position where I can gently guide town to the correct choices.

It would be a bizarre role to have more than one of, but I hear what you're saying.

DrH, you forgot another scenario in which the first step would fail. If you're mafia, you could just ask a buddy, or hell, the Godfather (presuming he exists) to confirm your role. He posts and the townies are none the wiser. The mafia gets inducted into every circle there is and is put in a position of power.

I'm not sold, yet.

All right. I had thought that a rolecheck wouldn't be able to go through on the Mayor. This Mafia may be insane, but I doubt there is more than one shapeshifter. For now, I'm going to throw a vote behind DrH.

I don't want to be over-obvious, but I will say that I have information that has me believe that this is not the case. I can't say more at the moment as I'm already afraid that I've put myself too far in the open.

Glasse, you've been almost completely silent and your platform is largely "make me mayor, lol". "i'm just doing it for fun" is not exactly the sort of thing to get anybody whatsoever to place trust in you.

Since DrH wanted people to get out their suspected sheet:

Youngminii is incredibly strange. He posts with practically no reasoning whatsoever, and doesn't return to defend himself when called on it. Though, to be fair, he hasn't posted anywhere else on TL in the meantime. It's possible he's just gone inactive.

Anybody who votes with no justification whatsoever raises a huge flag. (*cough* kenpachi *cough*)

While I don't have any kind of extensive analysis, NB's posting is... weird. Erratic. Something's not right there.

However, I kinda doubt that orgolove is mafia. It's kinda like BM from last game -- I can't see scum putting themselves so far into the spotlight. The last thing they'd want is to put everyone's attention on a member in a huge spat with a townie mayor. At that point we could just look at who he voted for and raise a treasure trove of mafia.

you get an additional vote every day, but have to use it to vote on one of the mafia

Whoah...

woah, woah, woah, woah woah.

What?

This brings a lot of perspective on the mystery vote...

Read it closely. Who received an Additional Mafia Vote today?

Does the Mafia Do-Gooder role's additional vote apply on Day 1 for the mayor election as well?

Consider that he never voted "legitimately", though. I'm not sure what's going on here... it's either a horrid mod screw-up (in which case I think we should be informed) or there's more than one role of that variety, perhaps one that has to vote town.

Hmm, I retract what I just said. The booger-flicking just has me enormously confused -- I guess I'm unsure whether it was a mod or player action.

Could we get clarification on that?

Here we go again...

I would hugely appreciate medic protection and induction into a PM circle. I have valuable information that I don't feel comfortable revealing in front of everybody. There is also the chance that what I've got is tainted by insanity, but that applies to everybody. I'll know by the end of the night for sure if what I hear can be trusted -- so far I've seen nothing rules-wise that points to the contrary. If it works out, it will be very very beneficial to the town.

There's a lot more going on here than just the plague.
