I promise to be completely transparent with all my actions as Chancellor. If I'm able to share my election choices with the thread before choosing, I'll definitely do so. Otherwise I'll go with the most pro-town option like a lynch or public dt check.

I also get a bonus power if elected, similar to Obama's NSA quicktopic spy bonus power, so that would swell to obtain.

Vote for Kita ^_^

I'm not a European but this seems like a pretty decent reason to elect kita.

Also did the citizens of the US realize they were only electing GB for one term (day)? I was under the impression it was for the entire game although it might have been spelled out and I missed it.

sl is scum for pissing me off kinda
also GB and chez are scum for mechanics stuff. I don't fully understand it but I think it's right.
kita's list is good because it aligns with the reads I do have enough that it seems alright to use the reads I don't have. for spammy players / players I don't care about I defer to that list mostly, except I forgot why I started trusting kita. maybe because his reads are good.

if we want to take out chezinu and glowingbear I can maybe help, depending on their traits. also I would be an a-okay president, but disfo is probably better.

I have a nuke and will throw it at whoever gets the most votes. Vote in this thread as you'd normally vote. Don't change your vote too much because I don't wanna do a lot of vote counting.

I can't credit you with that
You owe me.

And more nukes is a horrible idea

I couldn't get back to my rootz, y'all be damned!

So do we know who won the tank/phone auctions. If no one claims winning, I'd be intersted to see what other people bid, because I'm fairly certain I can outbid anyone on this fish and use it as town sees fit once we know what it does. I just don't want to overbid by a ridiculous amount if it's avoidable.

I'd also be fine with a nuke on GB unless he has a reasonable explanation

I'm back. Work has been a beast. Actually it's been pretty terrible but I digress.

Anyhow first things first, I'm claiming the shot on Grackaroni. I had one bullet only shoot people who held/were holding bananas (kills wouldn't register if I just shot anyone and they didn't have a banana) and there was zero to negative chance in hell I was shooting either of Kita or Dandel Ion.

Kita was/is a strong townread of mine. From SOTW I learnt Dandel plays a bit different so I tried to evalulate him in context and felt he was town.

Grack I really felt several of his reads, particularly pushing Kita over the bananas - a mechanic that could involve either alignment - was forced. Additionally his play from Onegu 2 wasn't as townie so I had gotten the impression he was feigning interest in the game, there was a lot of posting just to post. I read and re-read his filter before making the decision to shoot him.

TLDR: He felt like a sleeper mafia to me.

If I could have shot the people I'd really have wanted to I sure would have, had no banana claimers appeared on any part of my shit list prior to the end of day I would have held the shot. Furthermore, he wasn't being universally scumread so I figured also the chances of a scum Grack being protected by his team would have been slim.

An alternative plan I was thinking was trying to bait Kita or Dandel into giving the banana to a stronger scum read of mine before end of day so I could shoot them. I thought of this for awhile but I couldn't think of a convincing way to have them give it to a scum read of mine and I also didn't want to telegraph my intentions or potential implications to mafia either. (I "say" bait because they had the impressions that bananas were beneficial. If I argued with them I think I would have drawn attention to myself IDK.)

So that's that.

Second I also think prplhz is some sort of mafia PGO. Vivax put into play his roleblocking Spock action:

So.

##Live long and prosper: Prplhz

And right before actions resolve, he says this:

This is two minutes before deadline.

For those new to TL/themed games: PGO is paranoid gun owner. A paranoid gun owner has a passive that auto-kills anyone who targets it, not nec via NK. MafiaScum definition here: http://wiki.mafiascum.net/index.php?title=Paranoid_Gun_Owner

So we need to find a way to take prplhz down or another top scum read ASAP through some lynch mechanic I feel if people feel this is what we are truly dealing with. Those of you not already scumreading him, look at his filter, there's a lot of pointless questions and garbage that goes nowhere.

As for the mechanics of a PGO with a nuke, it sounds wonky, maybe mafia day vigged Vivax, he was near universally town read. But the timing of those quotes - and his filter - made me wonder this possibility as well.

Not fully caught up yet but there we go.

I'd run myself and I'd have this same platform, but I'm not about to split the vote. And I don't have any bonus for election.
I'd vote for either you or Koshi.

I will give him the last one.

His play so far doesn't really remind me of the last game I played with him where I red checked him in PYPI. Plus having HTS as your main mafia read is one of those too crazy to be scum kinda things. He hasn't posted much at all so he was pretty close to making the null list.

I can actually think of a reason the read on me could come from a scum FF, but I don't want to put words in his mouth.

Fecalfeast has also been all over the board in terms of activity as both alignments.

Reading a few filters atm. Not impressed with Rels at all, I can think of several shortcuts to get a few scumreads out even if pressed for time.

I have a funny feeling about Lunaticman after his last list post but I can't articulate it terribly well at the moment.
Something between blending in, IDK. Even the mechanics breakdowns (not that I considered it super towny) is falling off, but gah.

My biggest reservation about him is lack of original thought for the scumreads, that's probably the best way I can put it right now.

I'm off.
