I nominate myself to be the mayor!

My platform is this: Elect me mayor and I'm gonna use the d1 lynch on Grush57. Here's his filter from LIV (link). In this game, he was town, and he was utterly inscrutable and lost the game for the town. I submit that Grush can only hurt us, either by being scum, or by being town and looking exactly like scum.

##Vote: Blazinghand

Elect me to be mayor, and I will lynch Grush57. This will help us immeasurably. You can already tell from his filter this game that he's either worthless or scum, and I refuse to lose another game because Grush57 is in it.

A vote for Blazinghand is a vote to lynch Grush!

Funded by the Blazinghand 2012 campaign.

My name is Blazinghand and I approve this message.

Oh and also I'll use the double vote wisely and shit. The main thing though is that Grush needs to die.

TBH it's a great idea. Grush really needs to die.

OK so at this point, you guys are alike "what's the difference between Sinensis and blzinghand, they seem to have the same platform" well ok yes we do, so we'll have to look at character traits. As you know, I'm an extremely active and aggressive player who uses my vote as a tool to pressure and hunt scum. This tool will be much stronger if it's a double vote! Furthermore, I post a lot, so it will be super clear I'm town and nobody will be like "oh should we lynch the mayor" or whatever. So even though Sin and I are both lynching Grush, I'm a better choice because my aggressively voting playstyle will put the doublevote to very good use, and my aggressively talking playstyle will clear up any question of my innocence.

I would settle for being your VP if it means killing grush.

Let's make a deal: If it turns out some punk is gonna win who's NOT lynching Grush, we'll consolidate our voting bases to get one of us elected to make sure grush gets lynched.

And by "voting bases" I mean "2 votes" since currently nobody else has voted for us ;_;

If you're going to policy-lynch someone because they're useless and unreadable, why pick Grush over Kenpachi?

Even if Kenpachi is unreadable, he makes vague attempts to TRY to win games when he's town. Grush is always playing for the scumteam regardless of alignment. He must die.

Why not run for mayor? If you really want to try out a blue role, and you really found it fun, and you take things seriously and are easy to subject to analysis, you should WANT the double vote.

In fact, you're willing to let ET, who you admit you like ET but don't know why... and also are hedging on whether or not he's easy to read... but the main thing for mayors is you need to analyze their posts in a serious way?

See, you know your own alignment quite well-- you SHOULD know you're town, assuming you are indeed town. If that's the case, why are you trying to get a power that's almost useless for town but super useful for scum?

Why not run for mayor? All your reasoning points towards you running for mayor, but you run for vice-mayor and waffle on ET. What's the deal?

Assuming that Grush is going to be a bad townie is in my opinion a bad move. Give everyone a chance and the fact that your so set on killing this guy makes me wonder as to how easily you'll decide someone else is guilty. I'm all fine with someone who is set on making town lose die, but give him a chance first and condemn later. Rash decisions are what makes town lose.

You clearly didn't read the LIV filter I linked if you think somehow Grush wasn't given a chance to be a good townie.

Oh yeah and if I get second place and end up as Vice Mayor, here's my promise about how I'll use the pardon power:

I will use it if/when I think it will help the town. I make no promises whether or not I will discuss it with anyone or whether I will or won't use it. If I think I can help us win the game, I'll take that opportunity. Typically this will give me a chance to discuss it beforehand, but I will not make stupid rules about how I use my power. I will try to win.

I did indeed, and regardless I still believe that every game is different and it is only fair to disregard previous player actions. As I said before if there is no change in the way Gush conducts himself on the first day, by all means the mayor may lynch him. But I believe in a mayor that makes an informed decision based on actions in the current game rather than lynching him based on what he "might" do.

Oh yes what ever would we do without this useful contributions

Having free lynch day1 pretty good, but the scum would probably prefer Vice for protection in case a scum is going to get lynched.

Ok, so obviously, now, S&B, you're not running for vice mayor, since it's clear there's no way to run for that position. However, every one of my questions about your initial post still applies. At the time that you wrote it, your campaign for vice-mayor was based on a thought that there WAS a vice-mayoral election.

So, at the time that you wrote it... why on earth were you campaigning to be vice-mayor?

These questions still need to be addressed. What's your deal, S&B? Why did you take those actions?

Please do not state that I post like a retard or a troll half the time. I find this offensive and unproductive to our discussion. It is also inaccurate. I take this game very seriously, and your implication that I do not is troubling. If you continue to insist that my posting is retarded and trolling, I will complain to the host.

So your initial reasoning for why you wanted the role, as you wrote it, was:

Come on BH, he's a newbie. You're acting like a TLMafia brat, threatening to call in the host, which is also unproductive to the discussion. You post gifs and pix of you eating hats all the time, so his reference to your trolling isn't wholly inaccurate lol.

Continuing, do you think grush's posting thus far is scummy? If yes, then how so?

And his reference to me being a retard?

I think Grush's posting has been worthless. Although his 3rd post contained a statement with which I agree (which is that the vice mayor role could help scum), he hasn't done anything of note. We're not far into the game, so this doesn't say much YET, but I am wholly unsurprised that Grush is being largely unhelpful, and fully anticipate that he will continue to be unhelpful.
