Don’t you think someone else could have blocked him from that ability? Like maybe scum is allowed to post someone who can’t be Leader as a way to make sure a townie doesn’t get that role?
I did check just before the day started and OneandOnly was the only unconfirmed.
Hello all. I am back – I have successfully moved into my awesome new flat, yeah.
Of the two leader choices I wish to:
Elect Tom Scud
Not because Allwalker wouldn’t be a good choice. But Tom Scud has made an impression on me as a strong player in the past, and in the case of Day One I see it as very unlikely that anyone elected would risk playing the role anti-Town.
I do wonder about ‘One and Only’ not being able to be leader. Is there anything to the way players are listed in the ‘player list’? I notice that I too am shortened (and Nanook – anyone I missed)?, but not, say, Boozahol Squid, PI. Seems a bit odd but could also be nothing. Shall ask the modly ones, I guess.
[color=green]O Mods, is there any significance to the way players are recorded in the player list?
Grrr argh.
Elect Tom Scud
That was the order they signed up, roughly. Some were recored by Mahaloth (who has a penchant for simple abbreviations) and some by me (who has a penchant for cutesy nicknames), so naming may be inconsistent.
Okay then.
Probably not related to OaOW’s restriction today then…
huh? Did everyone else understand this, and I am again the only clueless one?
I think if the restriction were mod-based for non-confirmation reasons, they’d have told us, so as not to cause undue suspicion on a (potentially) innocent player. To me, it seems pretty clear that this was a power of some sort. I can’t really speculate if it’s a scummy or townie power–it seems, like a roleblocker, that the power is potentially harmful in the hands of Town, and clearly bad in the hands of scum. Just wait until we try to vote a confirmed Mason as leader, for example.
Sorry if this seems disjointed. I’m posting from my phone and I’m tired as hell.
If we have townie role blocking roles should we discourage them from using them? As well as from talking about them?
Hi, everyone!
I am satisfied to **vote AllWalker **for Leader, I would also be happy with either of the other candidates but want to cast a vote to reduce the chance of scum manipulation. Maybe they can get their turn in coming Days, though I agree that it seems like a good post for confirmed Town once we have some.
It is interesting that someone apparently has a veto power over Leader candidates, and also interesting that that person has chosen to use it on someone who has not actually been mentioned as a candidate. I don’t know what to make of that.
I would suggest that we make an agreement that Days should be the standard 5 days in length for the time being; since Night is always 48 hours, this would give us a consistent Day of Thursday through Tuesday and reduce the opportunity for a scum Leader to manipulate things. The only reason I could see for shortening the Day would be if it becomes obvious that someone is going to be lynched, for instance as the result of a Cop investigation, and at that point there is no point in waiting around for the rest of the Day (though I agree that we should arrange to not have the Day end on a weekend, when fewer people tend to be around).
Oh, yeah: This is my fifth game, I am 1-3 and have been Town and Scum twice each (though I’ve never been on a scumboard; once I was secret Scum who couldn’t communicate with my comrades and once I was part of a two-person Scum team with a teammate who signed up for the game and vanished, so I was really a PFK for practical purposes). At the risk of jinxing myself, I have never yet been lynched!
I’ll elaborate a bit more than ped.
No.
Thing Fish, my probably incorrect assumption is that the anti-leader power was a Night action, and probably took place before we really began discussing actual leader candidates in earnest.
basically what he was trying to say was that he respects my insights and thoughtfullness. there is also the connotation that there are kernels of universal truth in all that i post. additionally, there is the subtlety inferred that if he was female he would like to bear my children.
Or, “Let a hungry Carpathian long-haired she-wolf blow your dick, fuck.”
maybe so.
Guys, I would be honoured to serve as Town Leader. Having said that, I stand by my previous statement that a person should not elect themselves, unless doing otherwise forces a tie. I feel this is a good philosophy for Town, though I certainly wont find it suspicious if someone elects themselves.
In the spirit of that, I will
Elect Tom Scud
As for the One and Only Wanderers, I speculate that someone has the power to prevent someone becoming a candidate. If so, then this ability was used either Night 0 or early Day 1. Since we had already talked about considering myself, Tom Scud and Boozahol for the position of Leader, and none of us were blocked, this makes me think the power is in the hands of Town and not Scum. But I might be wrong on that.
Mayka ti duha na mechki v gorata.
Unfortunately, Bulgarian is not among my languages. And neither was lmgtfy, but I have now added lmgtfy to my favorites – very cool.
OK, I want to check my understanding here:
Does this mean that OneandOnly was ineligible from the beginning of the Day? Or did he/she become ineligible some time after the Day began?
Obviously, if One was ineligible right as the day began, they couldn’t have been made ineligible by a Day action.
I find it odd that a player would have been allowed to use a night action on Night Zero, but I guess this particular power might have been granted an exception to the rule (if the ineligibility was caused by some player’s night action).
It’s still possible that the ineligibility is because OneandOnly hadn’t confirmed yet, though if so I’m not sure why the Mods wouldn’t just tell us the reason.
And that leaves the possibility that OneandOnly has a role that prohibits him/her from being Leader, which would be truly nasty to give to a Town or third-party player, as it paints a big bullseye on him/her/it (someone want to clue me in?), and somewhat nasty to give to scum for the same reason.
If it was a night zero action, I agree with AllWalker that it was either Town or at least scum trying to look town-like in motivation, as OneandOnly was not one of the half-dozen or so names that had been thrown around in the pre-dawn leader discussion.
Anyway, I find the whole thing puzzling.
It wasn’t really called for in that instance, but I love that site, and use it whenever I get the chance. I’m glad to spread the lmgtfy love.
