Mafia American Politics Mafia - Game Over - Town Wins!

Toads, you’ve focused on Ness more that me. Do you find his candidacy more objectionable and/or him more scummy than myself

I find his stance in this game different as people have said. It could all be an act, he really wants the presidency for some reason and I don't like it. Maybe I'm thinking that the role has more power than it seems, but still I don't like it. The original put down of me seemed like he was poking at me to make himself look better. If I had to vote you or him, I would vote for you for sure. But I hate when you play mediator like this too, because its your strat to get town cred a lot of the time.

I stand by: I don't like either of you getting elected. Someone else please run.....
 
im on a pc now bois so i can type without constantly looking over my shoulder, woohoo haha ye

What is your general experience with mafia, including in games with elected roles? i've played a few games of forum mafia but that was two years ago, so I would say a lot less compared to most of the other players here. I've seen examples of elected roles in game but I'm fairly sure I've never been in one myself.

As mayor, how do you intend to use your role? don't really think i should be mayor since im unexperienced, relatively unknown (and therefore hard to read) and suuuuuper unconfident, but if by some cosmic miracle i was selected i guess id try to listen to town and utilise my immunity by giving as many reads as possible

Who do you want to be President? waaaay too early to call, but if i was forced to answer id said someone who was both confident in their abilities and easy to read. seeing as i dont really know the meta of whos who, i cant confidently say whod that be at this point in time.

In an anonymous election, is there ANY situation (as town) in which you would lie about who you voted for?
i guess if you really stretch it, you could argue that you voted wrongly on a controversial person to gauge peoples reactions while you really just vote for the best candidate, but that feels really scummy and counter intuitive.

Who do you think is the right candidate and why? again, too early, but someone who is easy to read and confident in their abilities

What do you think the setup how many scum/tp in this game? probably 3, not entirely sure what the exact formula is. a suprise 17th player close to starting time might change it tho

Who do you think is scum? not enough information to start creating concrete arguments and reads, but some of the stuff some people have said have been a little odd and dont seem to be from people with towns best interests at heart

Alright, just don't vote me then. I have stated that I'm not going to beg for people to vote me, all I've said is that I hope people consider me; there is a big difference between me "wanting the presidency so badly" and me simply saying I would like it to be me. I'm obviously not putting you down, all I did was state that I disliked your posts; in fact it wasn't even a jab at your campaign in the first place but rather saying I thought you were suspicious. Stop blowing everything I'm saying out of proportion.
 
Toads I hate to be a dick but what is so hard to understand about a double vote and protection from lynching/killing? You keep mentioning you don't know all of what the president's powers entail but to me it seems very simple...unless I missed something

I would run but I think Ness is a decent pick. I'm probably only going to run if I see someone I object to have president toss his/her hat in the ring, since I feel the president role should be filled by someone more qualified than yours truly. RN I don't have major objections to anyone, even toads...though I am quite wary of him and some of his posts don't sit right with me. Waffles made a good point about toad's passive approach he would take as president.

But w/e, I'd rather not split votes too much and have Ness or maybe ITYW be the George Washington of this game
 
first scum claim of the game btw, this implies you're going to merely be "influenced" into lynching scum and not take an active role in it.

also the first sentence is really weird because why would you follow what the majority of people are saying? if ur actually town it's not like you know who's town or who's scum, 5 people could be saying to lynch someone and 3-4 could be mafia with the other 1-2 being town and wrong.


so you would rather just put an extra vote and trust onto some stranger we pick day one based on crappy reads? I disagree with doing that and am offering an alternative if we don't like the candidates. I understand that the flaw to me doing things like that is the mafia can all "influence" me together while everyone who is town can be scrambled af.

Also look whats happening, Dolby and Ness say were running early, and then people feel the need to side one way or the other rather than run themselves. That feels wrong, I don't like it, I'm doing something about it
 
Who do you think is scum? not enough information to start creating concrete arguments and reads, but some of the stuff some people have said have been a little odd and dont seem to be from people with towns best interests at heart

why do you not want to point these people out right now? Best to put your thoughts in the open now to generate discussion. I don't like mamsy-pamsiness like this.

oh and toads, if you don't get the presidential role, then why are you running for a role you claim you don't fully understand? (ik ik "to stop Dolby and Ness," but the inconsistency is a bit glaring)

- - - Post Merge - - -

Also it was glow, not waffles, who made the point about passiveness, my b
 
Toads I genuinely do not know what to say in response. Like, how do you expect me to say "thats not what I'm trying to do here" without you saying "Okay sure...but i still don't like you or Dolby". It feels as if you're taking everything I'm saying, ignoring it, and drowning it with "Ness and Dolby are untrustworthy, vote me instead!".

I'll admit I didn't know the full role powers at first when I posted my RQS and decided to run and thought it was similar to like a kingmaker, but then I saw the actual role and powers shortly after
I'll admit I'm probably blowing who gets the role out of proportion now, but ness started it and flared me up (love you though outside of this)
I'll admit my chances of winning are like 0 now, but I'll be damned if I don't run out of precedent
 
wow, this is certainly a stable and consistent server, gee whiz

basically because the reads are so minor and easily explainable that it feels like it would cause more harm than good to point it out, and i didnt just wanna answer no to the question. the reads were toad for wanting to be pres so aggressively and punchy for being so quick to pounce on me, but as ive said before i believe that the pres role isnt that useful for maf so campaigning that hard almost comes off as town, and i think that calling me out for lurking was justified even if i had a legit reason to do so
 
But does that take away from the potential of Dolby being president? Sure, he might be scum, but if we go off the basis of "he's experienced so he shouldn't be elected", then what good does that do? I personally would be okay with him being president only under the condition that the majority was confident he was town. By the way, are you saying that you think Vanessa is town?

I havent said anything that IM 100% sure shes town but then again we shudnt focus and rush vote for president we have to be confident of the player's alignment first

Also I'm calling out Punchy for stupid call out for no reason

Honestly, I kinda am weirded out by Waffles focus on me as a Mayor candidate and reaction to that

Dont get me wrong i dont want you to be a mayor ur always town in every game and i have a feeling ur scum tbh

brb

Yeah, what I was weirded out by was you going against it and the way you went about it

Waffles, if you had to vote someone for president, who would it be
 
how many people havent come online yet? i feel like we should hear from everyone before we start deciding pres
 
Also, this is just a small thought I had but I'm pinging Dolby/PunchyDaHufflepuff as a somewhat uncompatible scum team. This is mostly due to Punchy asking Dolby to make the RQS, as I see in my head that if both were scum Punchy would likely just tell Dolby to make the RQS in scum chat. Low hanging fruit, just a small little thought I had.

Hmm... tbh I wouldn’t consider that at all, if I were you. In my eyes, if they were scum mates, their tactic would be to probably communicate with each other in thread to make themselves look good. Also there’s no need to tell a scum partner to make RQ’s if you could just say it in thread, it’s not something to be discussed. It’s a really obvious strategy.

Ness, you'll see eventually. You'll see.

I genuinely wanted to see what the context of this post was?

Also, throughout pages 8 and up, I’d like to point out that Toads taking Ness’ button and user title seriously is not a good start. It just seems like a lame excuse and random piece of reasoning to defend himself. It doesn’t seem correct, yet I don’t feel like Toads would be this easy to catch out, to be honest. Toads saying that he wanted somebody else to come and nominate themselves as another candidate sounds genuine tbh, but his arguments just seem off.

So, I’m quite unsure of who I want to elect as president right now. At the moment, I wouldn’t say Punchy. All Punchy’s posts are not alignment indicative at all. I do understand the tl’s on him because he is drumming up conversation, but all of his posts haven’t satisfied me yet to elect him.

This post is weird. Waffles you’re an experienced player, so why would you dramatically shift your thoughts on Dolby and still not understand the concept that random number generators are used in every mafia game?

Also hey Punchy I recall you saying:
DO NOT SEND IN VOTES FOR ME. I'LL SCREW UP SOMEHOW.

And now saying:

Dolby said:
#Punchyforpresident
.. ok I'm cool with that I guess.

No suspicion or anything, but what made you change your mind? I’m genuinely curious as to what your thoughts are to the current candidates.
Just saying guys, but I’m concerned for my activity in this game. I’m gonna be super busy this work with homework and tests so I’ll try my best to manage my time.
 
super bored so im gonna make a list of how many posts people have made so far, not giving me opinions about it but just for future reference. note that just because someone has posted a lot, it doesn't necessarily mean that they're contributing a lot. I'm also not gonna count merged posts as separate posts:

Dolby: 19
N e s s: 17
toadsworthy: 17
PunchyDaHufflepuff: 12
Runeraider: 12
Jacob: 10
amazonevan19: 9
ITookYourWaffles: 7
glow: 3
Byngo: 2
VanessaMay18: 2
Biancasbotique: 1
Locket: 1
Chele: 1
Hikari: 0
Tina: 0
Dad: 0

hopefully this is useful to someone, also theres probably a few errors here and there but it shouldnt matter too much

For an hour I totally thought that the mayor had more power, like they can't force a lynch on someone with just them SLing them, that's why I didn't want to be mayor, but they are "just" bulletproof and a doublevoter. I think Dolby would be a really good candidate, and I have a good reason that I don't want to share just now. I slightly SL almost everyone. Ness is confusing me,citing deatails in my next post. Making read on Evan now, Why does everyone have strong opinions about Vanessa?

I'm still catching up but this was the first post I saw when I opened the thread and it feels kind of filler-y to me, people could easily find this info for themselves by clicking on the number of posts this thread has (unless nobody else knew that, in which case, I guess this is ok) so to me this looks like one of those contributions made for the sake of looking helpful, like what Chele did the first time she was scum. Granted I know nothing about runeraiders play style
