The Werewolves of Millers Hollow (Game Over)

[Juls]

Today you must elect a Mayor by majority vote. Do this by posting Vote PLAYER for Mayor. You may unvote this if you wish. The Mayor's vote will be worth two for the rest of the game. Should the Mayor die, they may choose their successor. The day will not end until both a Mayor has been elected and a player has been lynched.

Anyone in doubt of my credentials to hold this prestigious post, just think:
Better make me Mayor today than later, when i might be afforded opportunity to cause SERIOUS damage. xD

I read the mod's post to mean you would cause "damage" as long as you are in the game. In fact, maybe we should wait a little while before making this decision because it does effect the game for more than just today.

Unvote Mayor

ah sorry, i didnt read that. Maybe im not cut out to be Mayor!

actually no, it just means its more important we have someone protown as mayor. So my self-vote stands. And i'm happy to run Xtoxm upto a claim right now.

unvote, Vote to Lynch: Xtoxm

I do not like that kind of play one bit.

I'm not shifting my mayor vote off myself unless I'm absolutely sure the person I'd be giving it to is Pro-Town.

This is a respectable stance, but not very realistic. You are unlikely to get that kind of assurity on day 1. Our best bet is to pick someone today, and make sure they are held accountable as much as possible. Odds on, unless we get consequtive scum lynches, the Mayor will probably change on a daily basis. Such is the way with Kingmaker style games.

Xtoxm, are you serious in believing that your role makes you a better choice for mayor than another townie?

And i'm happy to run Xtoxm upto a claim right now.

You want him to claim already? I don't think he should claim, his post looks vague enough as it is that it's not hurting or helping.

[Xtoxm]

I'm unlynchable.

Yup. Any veteran will tell you that it's best to punish needless softclaiming like this. Xtoxm is experienced enough to know that his softclaim wouldnt get him to be Mayor, so i'm sure he expects this too.

Let's force him into a position early on.

lol, how does that make you a good mayor? surely that makes you the exact kind of mayor we DONT want i.e. the kind who cannot be held accountable to the town.

Up to five, if I've counted right (which is by no means a sure thing.) Well within a safe distance from lynch, anyway. It was an odd post, although we don't really know what he meant by that and it could just have been joking around. Has anyone played with Xtoxm before, and would have reason to push him into a claim based on his post in conjuction with that meta? Is that kind of play something anyone's seen before in Xtoxm?

Agreed!

I'm all for testing this claim.

[MikeSC6]

... a few posts popped up while typing my last one-

Does this mean that, if we try to lynch Xtoxm it will fail? Or will it fail with consequences? Is it worth trying out?

Yes, it will fail. It will be the same as No Lynch.

he probably needs to tell us that, from his role pm. The only consequence i can forsee is that we lose our lynch. But, the inconsistency here is glaring. If you were a Lynch-Immune townie, would you claim it immediately? That is, if the only way you could be killed is by NK, would you tell the scum that, at the earliest opportunity?

I dont think so.

Lol, aww, why does he get the vote?
I'm totally more influential in getting you lynched than he is! xD

I've played loads with him before, but sadly, none recently enough for me to have a decent grasp of his current play. I think he's welcome to use meta to defend himself if he wants to. Then we can assess from there.

Today is the best time to test this claim, as we will undoubtedly have to at some point.

@Xtoxm- unlynchable period, or you survive one lynch attempt. Does "lynching" you end the day or are we just forced to choose someone else?

@BM- from what I know of you, you're a rather prolific poster and not prone to lurking as well as being a good player. These are all reasons I voted you to be mayor. I know you won't flake out and disappear (thus keeping that important double vote out of the town's hands). I also know that giving you the double vote will force you to play well as town and if you're scum, the high profile will make it harder for you to get away with anything.

Well, I've never played a game with this mechanic, so I'll take your word for it. Personally, I prefer to keep my vote on me for as long as possible, since I'd rather like to use it well. Of course, you could all make it easy and vote me for mayor. :p

Holy sarnath batman.

@Dizzy- you realize that whoever is voted mayor will be the most likely lynch candidate if they start using the power in a way the town as a whole doesn't agree with, right?

@Everyone- yeah, we're gonna have to test the unlynchable claim, but lets not end day one so quick, huh?

You dont have to take my word for it. You could, like, read the first page of any Kingmaker/Consulmaker/Presidentmaker (a personal favourite) game.
What you mean to say is, you want to keep your vote inactive, until you can gain brownie points by making a casting vote. Afraid to commit yourself?

No. I mean, I want to use my vote wisely. There's a difference.

not to mention theyll be a prime scapegoat if they end up being on a bad lynchwagon.

It wont end till we get a mayor anyway. Not sure if a short day is in our favour or not at this point. thoughts?
