Are wagers announced on thread (meaning who someone is challenging, who's the challenger, etc)?

From the absence of such information provided by PS, I would speculate not.

This.

It is a good thing that I don't punish edits with mod-kills... only players left would be those who haven't called in yet.

So we have another 24 hours to decide who should be Mayor. Other than the current candidates are there any other people we should consider? I, for one, do not want to vote too many times. I am leaning towards voting Rashan out of the three.

I want those who have votes announce their judge in thread and then I want the judges to say who they will lynch before I vote.

That seems reasonable, do you think people will do it? If no one votes anyone then the person with the highest amount of votes becomes Mayor.

This was not said by PS anywhere was it? It looks really unlikely.

Eh, just a guess

And I think it is an unlikely guess.
I will not be voting for someone if I don't who I will be getting killed.

5. Player Statuses
a. Mayor
Each day, players elect a Mayor. The only task of the Mayor is to nominate a Judge, but since the Judge determines who is lynched, the Mayor is quite important. The rules for Mayor are as follows:
1) at the latest, you must nominate your Judge during your first log-on after the mods call for the end of Wagers (This will be done by posting Rien ne va Plus on thread).
2) If you fail to do this, the player with the next most votes will become Mayor.
3) You may not elect yourself as Judge.
4) Nothing prevents you from publishing your choice for Judge on thread; nothing prevents you from lying about your nomination, either.
5) Other player's abilities can affect your choice

Am I reading wrong?

The rules say that if the Mayor has failed to have his choice for Judge in, the player with the next highest amount of votes becomes Mayor.

In the scenario where there is no Mayor elected, we move to night. Because there is no Judge today, the day 1 lynch will be selected by tomorrow's Judge. So basically, with no election of a mayor each day, the Judge, when finally elected, can murder the entire thread.

Yes, because 2) refers to 1)

As I say: the responsibilities of today's Judge, if not elected, transfer to tomorrow's Judge. So with no Mayor election, the Judge will get more and more powerful.

[Denul]

So in essence, if we refused to vote for mayor at any point, the game could be decided by only NA's or other actions, with no power given to the mayor/judge, but only if we never elect one, because if we wait for multiple days, and then elect a mayor, the judge can fuck us all up.

I don't like the sound of a super powerful Judge, anyone else?

Not me, especially as each night passes people will likely get a better feel for people's alignment, and so should the judge get elected late, they can basically win the game in one phase.

Me neither. I like the sound of a badass surviving all NAs even less.

[Barghast]

The, uh, last 8 alt posts have forgotten the bullets, are we not going with them any more?

The risk with the judge is that someone eventually gets their faction/alliance together to get in and takes down all rivals, we should therefore attempt to get a Mayor in every day.

You are right and I am now looking at the clock, thinking to myself, will we have enough time? 24 hours is not a lot in mafia standards, less so in a faction game with everyone being cagey.

I don't want to vote fanderay because she said she'd make merrid judge, and Merrid's blatant power use (multiple bullets, not just 1 as I did) is either calculated intimidation or just intimidating coincidentally. I'd rather go for rashan out of the 3 choices.

You are so paranoid!

EVERY action in this game requires the use of a bullet, it doesn't mean that action is inimical or powerful though. And what does that have to do with being Mayor or Judge anyway? Even if I had uber-scarey abilities, how does that make me any different a Judge or Mayor to anyone else?
