Mayor Elections will take place on day 1. When elected, you will publicly select two bodyguards to protect you for the rest of the game. While bodyguards are alive, you cannot be targeted by night hits or the roleblocker. | ||

I've been thinking, and honestly the mayor isn't that important. It serves 3 purposes:
At first I was concerned that the lack of [real] opposition to Kav might mean Mafia made an early push for mayor. I'm leaning more towards Mafia just not caring for the role - even as unofficial leader, clues are going to drive debate. So risking a mafia member potentially becoming a body guard just may not be worth it, and as far as I can tell it would be solely to deny the role to the town, as its uses for evil seem extremely limited. Thoughts? Body Guard Theory: While you are alive, the mayor cannot be killed or roleblocked. Mafia-aligned players chosen as bodyguards will not protect town-aligned mayors. I still like choosing mayoral candidates as body guards. Mafia can't afford to gamble their players away as body guards - their KP is likely tied to their numbers, and with clues in the game it's only a matter of time before we find them. However, this only works if mayoral candidates make this their policy - the point is to deter Mafia from running to begin with. Census Theory: Every night, you have the ability to determine the number of any alignment (Town, Special Town, Mafia, or Serial Killer) or role in the game.
Mod question: For the purposes of census, is the tally done before or after night actions take place? | ||

Well that's an interesting twist. Now my interests are piqued - prior to this rule change I assumed the Mayor would almost certainly be GF if Mafia. This now gives Mafia the opportunity to effectively have [at least] two GFs. Boo  | ||

However several people have voted for both you and RoL now and failed to give a reason for those votes. I'd like everyone to justify their votes in the thread for later reference. I voted for Kav because he seems like he's going to be a good, active mayor. Since he inadvertently started his campaign prior to the roles given out, the chances of him being mafia are as good as an RNG without any of the downsides. I liked RoL's long post, but it was too long overdue and not enough to persuade me. | ||

Clue Are those black shapes in the alcove bats? Is that shadow in the corner a black cat? Profile What do Tigers Dream of when they take their little tiger snooze? Do they dream of mauling Zebras or Halle Berry in a Catwomen suit? The black cat ~ Catwoman / Halle Berry connection was already drawn, but in addition there's the bats. Bats. Batman. | ||

Stop with the body guard nonsense. All of the plans suck because no one knows who's red and who's green and who's blue. Suggesting that we pick "1 red / 1 green" or "1 vet / 1 mafia" etc. is just stupid. Suggesting that ~25% of the game volunteers to identify themselves is green is even dumber. It's up to Kav to pick people he believes to be green. Volunteering isn't any good because we're nearly guaranteed to get 1 Mafia that way if we restrict it to a very small # (2-4). If we take too many volunteers then it gives too much information to Mafia about who's willing to die (i.e. vets/greens) and allows for blue sniping. As for the Census, I've already stated we need to be checking Mafia #'s every night. Here's why:
Now, there are certain times that census is useful aside from checking mafia #'s. But nearly all these situations are late game (e.g. mafia #'s are low so use census to get a beat on SKs, or use a blue-count to verify that some of the 10 people claiming to be DTs are liars). | ||

Some nights I thirst for real blood Every city has its dark place, the area that no one in their right mind will go. Ours is the forest, the woods that loom in the center. Away from the campfire, away from the tents, away from the city. The thick, ancient trunks loom, the undisturbed bark hard as stone, the tangled roots cloying at uncareful limbs. No one knows what happens there, and certainly no one would venture there in the night. But tonight, the forest stirs. Its solitude is intruded upon. For real knives The noises inside are a mystery. The scampering in the bush, a deer? That blood-curdling scream, nothing an animal could make. For real cries And there in the clearing, in the moonlight, Meapak_Ziph runs at full speed, jumping over roots, snapping aside branches. And close behind him a black shape, only a blur in the darkness, gaining, about to grab, only a hand-length away... And then the flash of steel from real guns Meapak_Ziph falls with a grunt to the ground, his face contorts in surprise, horror, and pain, and then... silence. Everything is still but for the fountain of black blood sprouting from his body. The shadow is gone. Meapak_Ziph dies alone. Who died: Meapak_Ziph Cause of death: Gun shots, though he fleeing the pursuit of what appears to be by another assailant. Also, was it really the gun shot, or just a coincidental juxtaposition of lyrics and story? I don't think so but a possibility. Setting: The clearing of a secluded forest at night, moon visible and shining brightly Notes: Had to look up cloy: To cause distaste or disgust by supplying with too much of something originally pleasant, especially something rich or sweet; surfeit. + Show Spoiler [TheAldo] + In real life And then another persons enters the clearing. He is careful, disturbing nothing, as quiet as the trees surrounding him. A coward, he hid in the shadows witnessing it all, doing nothing. He gazes down at the body of Meapak, the drying blood staining his feet. He shudders, and continues on. Really fills my mind I followed TheAldo. And as I ran my knife across his throat, no one was there to help him. How fitting. You can’t hide I could get used to this black blood. Who died: TheAldo Cause of death: Throat was slit by a knife Setting: Forest Notes: Contrasted heavily with Meapak, who was running through the forest rather loudly (jumping, snapping branches). He is "careful" and "disturbs nothing." Also deemed a coward for hiding and witnessing it, but doing nothing (perhaps suggesting he was a medic, i.e. he had the power to save him but didn't). Thoughts: Again with the knife slitting the throat, as in Night 0 and Day 1: As the scientist’s struggle decreased, the intruder pulled a small, serrated switchblade from his pocket. He pressed it against Node’s throat and sawed. I picked up the dropped switchblade, pressed it to the captains throat, and sawed. However, as there were no clues in the Night 0 post, this may not be an actual clue. Again with the use of lyrics interspersed throughout the story, though this appears to just be a theme of the game. So be careful with repeated words (i.e. in this case, "real/really") as this is typical of song lyrics in general. Also, a parting thought.. MZ was running through a clearing, yet he's jumping over roots and snapping aside branches (i.e. not branches on the ground). This seems somewhat contradictory.. | ||
