I think, if there is a cop in this game, the cop should claim and we should elect him dictator and have him stay dictator as long as possible.
What a copout, no pun intended.MonkeyMan576 wrote:Electing the most pro-town player dictator.SlySly wrote:Such as?MonkeyMan576 wrote:I think there's much better options than having our cop claim.
If there are much better options, by all means share them, no need to criticize an idea you may not have thought as far through as the person that presented it, without having something better to put on the table.SlySly, in 84, wrote: I am willing to elect the person that the town becomes most convinced of as being town.
Yes. Anyplace but roleclaimed. We need our best(or at least a good) townie to be dictator, if our worst player ended up being cop, we'd be screwed.SlySly wrote:What a copout, no pun intended.MonkeyMan576 wrote:Electing the most pro-town player dictator.SlySly wrote:Such as?MonkeyMan576 wrote:I think there's much better options than having our cop claim.
Seems like I said the same thing in 84...

Is there a better place for our cop to be sitting than behind a bulletproof vest where he can more safely perform his investigations and openly share his results with the town?
Why would you assume our cop is our worst player? I would like to hear what the rest of the town thinks of this, because thinking it through I have not thought of anything better, nor has anyone offered anything better yet.MonkeyMan576 wrote: Yes.

I'd rather have 3) a good townie elected dictator. Sure, there is the possibility of electing scum, but if the dictator kills a townie or doesn't do what the majority wants, then they can be overthrown. I'd rather put my faith in the competence of the whole town than the competence of a single townie. The flaw in your plan is that it hinges on 1) the cop being outed, and 2) The cop being in power the whole game, even if they are incompetent.SlySly wrote:Why would you assume our cop is our worst player?

Let me ask you this.
Which would you rather have as dictator?
1. our worst player cop behind a bulletproof vest at night getting to share his investigation results from the night openly with the town at the start of the next day
2. an accidentally elected scum killing his pick of the town in the day and then getting to kill another townie at night
You pretty much saying, as I paraphrase, "your ideas suck and there are much better ideas but I either don't have any better or I ain't wilin' to share any of them" is not really pro-town.
Yes, of course, but there's no way to know that without the cop roleclaiming, which I am against because of aforementioned reasons.SlySly wrote:If the cop were a good or even our best player, would that change your opinion of having the cop claim and be elected dictator and stay there as long as possible?MonkeyMan576 wrote: I'd rather have 3) a good townie elected dictator.
Ok. You have yet to convince me of a better plan, but your stance on this one is clear now.MonkeyMan576 wrote: Yes, of course, but there's no way to know that without the cop roleclaiming, which I am against because of aforementioned reasons.
The better plan is to elect who we decide is the best pro-town player.SlySly wrote:Ok.

Do you have any specific suggestions that you feel will help us get the most pro-town player elected?
Well, my criteria was to eliminate the players I knew I didn't want elected, and from the remaining people that ran pick the one who seemed most competent and pro town.SlySly wrote:What criteria do you think we should use to help us make this decision?MonkeyMan576 wrote: The better plan is to elect who we decide is the best pro-town player.
Actually, replacing in on Day 1, Page 5 isn't awkward at all. It's a heck of a lot easier than replacing in on Day 3, Page 37 or some such.
