It's very common for people who want to become mayor to run before the game starts. Very rarely are people going to be elected on things that aren't their reputation.

Toad, what's more important to you, a mayor we can easily read as town or a mayor who has good enough reads to lynch scum day 1?

getting someone elected who is clearly town should be the priority without a question.

I think there are many players that we could elect that would be very easy to read as town.

Why are you sold on Sandroba? Isn't the main upside of electing him the fact that he has amazing reads as town and breaks the game? Is he especially easy to read day 1?

@Clarity He doesn't think we have to vote someone like Vivax (someone he believes is easy to read) in order to ensure a townie being elected.

I suppose I'll come out and give my plan for the day.

I don't give a flying fuck right now who gets mayor. What I do care about is lynching scum, and to do that town needs to make a consolidated effort to scumhunt day 1 instead of this townhunting idea that Toad wants to put forth. I say we elect mayor based on whether they are scumhunting effectively. If people want to be mayor, they need to scumhunt, pick their day 1 lynch target, and let town decide based on the quality of the read.

If there are multiple mayoral candidates who are picking the same target(s), then we can consider things like how easy it is to read that candidate, and how town they are, but I see no reason to waste all of day 1 figuring out who the most amount of people think is town when the name of the game is lynching scum, and the mayor has the sole power to do so today. To be elected mayor, a player needs good scum reads, not just the ability to look town for a cycle.

I never said I wasn't running for mayor. If you guys want to elect me for my efforts today, I'm not going to stop you.

I've already been scumhunting. I don't like what Toad wants to do today, which is basically sit on the idea of town reads (insanely easy thing for scum to do) and elect based on reputation. Most of town seems content with that idea, so far, actually, which is quite disturbing.

Well I think he meant that everyone is running and whoever is the best scumhunter should get elected.

Basically this.

Which makes sandroba's "I'm not running for mayor" post a huge fucking red flag in my eyes.

Why would any town player not want the chance at being mayor, especially someone with his reputation? It offers protection, something he sorely needs if he is town.

@Toad

I see you and I don't actually disagree. I was mistaken, then.

@Oats

It's pretty obvious that everyone agrees with me, as town is now scum hunting. Mission accomplished.

@Mocsta

I find my suspicions on Toad unwarranted. I may have to look at some Sandroba scum games to get a better read on him. His excuse is convenient but honestly it means nothing.

I'll be off at work for the next eleven hours or so. Hopefully when I come back people will have been more active.

## Vote Sandroba

If he's town, he won't be killed and be of great use.

If he's scum, he won't be able to hide it for long in that position.

Don't choose based on some mood. Even if sandro doesn't want it, a good town should want him in that position.

I don't like austin, I don't like gonzaw. Clarity didn't post his reads and he's usually not the guy who wants to take the lead. Voting Chezinu, are you fucking kidding me?Oatsmaster? Nah.

Vivax wtf kind of post is this?

Vote for a guy who doesn't want to be mayor, with really shitty "if he's scum" logic. There's never a good reason to give a free lynch to a player you don't have a really good town read on. You're proposing to trade the office of mayor, with the protection and the powerful synergy with mason roles, for a read on a single player that can easily be ascertained otherwise.

Why do you seem to care so little for who becomes mayor if it isn't you? You "don't like" Austin or gonzaw, but you don't say why. You seem ready to discredit Chezinu on a moment's notice, when I see him as a valid candidate.

This is not constructive town posting, Vivax. You've done very little but worry about your own image so far this game and it's worrisome to me that you're reacting so negatively to people not wanting to elect you.
