I will be both mayor and pardoner by way of winning every single vote.

I promise to eliminate all scum from this game while simultaneously juggling 4 knives and a kitten. Vote me for a better future.

I would like to make my pitch to you for the mayoral election. As some of you may not know me here is the current list of games that I have played on TL. While short, it is full of content that would be helpful in ensuring a victory for us.

+ Show Spoiler [ My portfolio] +

Newbie Mini Mafia XLV - This, my first newbie game on TL. I systematically determined the entire scum team on night 1 of the game and was subsequently killed for this. This game is paramount in showing my determination in hunting scum. I am very analytical and will deliver my reads in a coherent manner that serves town in the best way possible. Examples - although hefty - can be seen here: Cases

Newbie Mini Mafia XLVII Although this game was over from day 1 and a scum victory due to modkills, I was still the voice for the town and actively pushed my reads for lynches.

Newbie Mini Mafia XLVI In this game I was responsible for eliminating the scum team and ensuring a town victory due to my analysis and reads. I was the driving force behind this win.

World Heavyweight Championship Mafia In this game I was under a lot of pressure day 1 but consequently I was able to become pretty much confirmed town because of this. My read and lynch choice was scum and although this was a loss (due to my error no doubt) I felt that I contributed to the best of my ability at the time. My posting style heavinly reflects what alignment I am as Hogwarts mafia will show.

Hogwarts Mafia (Themed) In this game I struggled to prove that I was town after day 1. I was confused after a shambolic display night 1 and degraded into mindless line posts, it was obvious I was mafia if you looked at my content.

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Now that the formalities are over and done with I will speak to you about my strategy as mayor. Simply, this can be broken down into 3 stages.

Process of Mayoral lynches

Determine my top scum reads based on analysis. These choices will be my most preferred lynches.
Failing to lynch my top scum reads, i.e if thread sentiment does not follow, I will only lynch into people that I consider scum by way of a convincing case from other people or actual knowledge based play (meta, good points etc.)
Get rid of people that have contributed nothing, only if we are in a fit state as a town to be able to do this.

Now, while I may not be the first choice for most of you at this current point in time, I suggest that we hold off on voting for an actual mayor until later in the day. Obviously, blindly voting people into a mayoral role this early is extremely questionable as nobody has displayed any content at all. Also, later in the day I would have displayed the traits that I am best known for displaying as town and my contributions will most definitely be worth more then. If I have then gained your favour as an electoral candidate at that point then I thank you and I shall lead us onto (hopefully) another town victory.

Thank you for your consideration,

- Holyflare
Mayoral candidate, TL Mafia LXIII 2013

@Pandain. Although you say that you will be voting the best analyser I find that in itself to be a bad move AT THIS TIME. Many people have played with each other and know their quirks, their meta and their style. Obviously, you want a good analyser to use the mayor power, that goes without saying (which is why in "my portfolio" I showed my analysis capabilities). However, it is ridiculous to choose that person RIGHT NOW. How can you know what they are going to say, what they are going to post, what if they displayed traits that you were not comfortable with? That's why I say that we should hold off on voting until people can be - at least initially - established.

To each his own. Arbitrarily throwing your vote onto someone is not something that I like to do often.

Either way:

VE is town, Oats is dumb, but probably town, supersoft says dumb stuff idk what that makes him, yamato is also probably town, holyflare's campaign was horrible and if it's not pre-written he is scum. Giving also slight town read on Koshi.

How can you call mine bad whereas the other candidates that have put themselves forward so far did so in a manner that was with 3 or 4 lines? What are your reasons for your other reads too, supersoft has been "aggressive" so far and confrontational and I know you have played with him before, why is it just an IDK? Quite frankly, your establishment of yourself so far is mediocre. Off the top of your head is not something I see you doing often.

I started the top half (portfolio) etc before the game, I added the last half when people said that the mayoral campaign should have their strategy laid out.

fml I had to write this out twice because I had so many tabs open ~_~

@ rayn's post earlier: Here

You claim that my case was in fact bad but then you agree with everything that I had specifically laid out within it, what gives? Did you just not read it? Clearly there were no good reads at that present time and for a mayor to be established reads must be thrown around, which is exactly what I was saying. Your choice of mayor is based entirely off if you agree with their reads? Why?

You also debase the entirety of it because of the one line that said if "I failed to lynch my top scum readS". The plurality in reads assumes that one would live past day 1 and be able to use their double voting power as you cannot lynch multiple reads on day 1.

There is also:

Okay ignoring Risen for the rest of D1.

You were scum partners with risen in heavyweight. You know he is crazy and will literally do anything or write anything to win. How can you be so quick to have a town read on him based off of a post? He has won world champs and also has the "best mafia play" award or whatever. To quite openly say you will not read him for the rest of day 1 is making me apprehensive to say the least.

____________________________________________________________________________

@rest of the town
Also some other things that struck me as odd;

Hopeless' start to the game:

On November 15 2013 08:26 Hopeless1der wrote:
VE you got some credentials? How many successful mayor campaigns have you run?

I've played one game with this guy and in that game (he was town) at the very start he was trying to contribute to current conversations and get things talking. This games start has been very lackluster from him. After asking VE about his past mayor games VE responds that he has been mayor once and he died night 1.

By no means are they solid credentials in any terms. His contributions were just useless "won't vote for kush" posts. He then drops his mayor vote onto VE after hearing about his 1 game experience and leaves the thread.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

I'm actually leaning a bit more suspiciously towards rayn right now; however I thought it was interesting to see these 2 posts just as I refreshed.

You get modkilled for not voting. :p

What's wrongwith Oats this game? He's like a bit more dick than usually.

Oats baby.

Read my case again

I gave one of stores first posts from Hogwarts. A similar sized game.

He came out guns blazing. The analysis was wrong. But more importantly it was there, unlike this game.

Oats, shy are you so prickly this game.
Normally you are obnoxious, but tidY you feel venomous.

Why so angry? P.s. I'm more referring to your interactions with V.E

Obviously no associative tells between unflipped players yada yada but I find it "psychologically intriguing" when people bring up similarities like that. Obviously if you are scum, the posts that stick out to you the most are your scum partners and so you can subconsciously repeat them etc. However, this is a lackluster point to say the least just something I'd thought I'd note.

Oats, slam is saying that only the last post you quoted was like his previous games (in posting style). He's now saying that if you can't read him that's not a problem for you because you can read others, it's a problem for him because he cannot convey townieness to the thread if he can't be read.
