Well I didn't ever get a chance to do my research on who were the players that didn't have any issues with the Judge gathering multiple lynch targets. But if I get a chance tonight that will be who I put up for lynch targets if I'm elected judge.

I think Jalan was one of them so the fact that Liosan wants to have a shoot out with him doesn't bother me in the least. But if I'm wrong about that then I retract that last statement. And so much for jumping on the whole lets get a mayor elected early thing today.

I certainly had a problem with the idea of letting a Judge accrue more than one lynch. And have been just about the ONLY person actually trying to get some discussion started on getting a mayor elected early. But hey, no one actually seems to give two shits. What's a guy to do?

I'm back now and catching up. Haven't read the full thread yet, but I saw the start of day update. One thing to note is that the investment numbers could be indicative of what roles are in the game - so for example if the LaRua mormon house investment was only done by one player, it could only have been the Channeler since no one else has the 5-6-5-5 dice stats in the OP. same for the Aces who have 3 different investments so probably 3 different roles doing those 3 investments. The corporates same idea, though looks like only 2 players investments - obviously in every case there could be more players who didn't invest. In the university case it's harder to tell since there's only the one invested location, could be one player doing 5-5-5-5 or two players combining but I'd lean towards it being just one.

The LaRua getting mormom house so fast though makes me suspicious of the players who had lover comms yesterday - maybe two of them discovered they were both LaRua and worked together to get the mormon house investment so they would have longer off-thread comms (OP doesn't say the mormon house off-thread comms expires so I'm assuming it lasts all game).

As I read up I'm going to keep an eye on those players and see if any of them didn't vote, which would indicate they were already on the mormon house.

I hadn't even thought about the 'you can't vote while on Mormon House' tile ability when I was looking at that stuff, good catch! Wasn't there someone who was openly unwilling to vote on thread? Maybe we found a reason?

Interesting point... especially if several people from the same faction used the Mormon House's ability to identify each other and take control of it.

Ok, so if I am elected Judge, I will be lynching Hanas and Bek Okhan.

He say in his first post that he'll dedicate more time the next day and then never shows up for it. Then it seems yesterday/this morning he was online for a 4-hour stretch or so but still never posted anything. After 48 hours into the game, there's really no excuse for not at least trying to post some content, but instead he just drops a few asinine comments and disappears again.

He's clearly still playing the game though, as his bullets count goes down each time.




Bek Okhan scares me a bit, as he put only a [1] bullets die as his active thread die on Day 1:

his first post:

 Bek Okhan, on 21 August 2013 - 04:20 PM, said:

Here. This game is quite complicated. =O

Does anybody want to be my friend? =)

Bullets[1]



But he not only brought that die down to [0], but also did two Friendship cantrips and who knows how many other abilities. I'm also suspicious that he picked a low die on-thread to hide being in mormon house and then conspired through Friendship to get the mormon off-thread comms.


In both cases, Hanas and Bek Okhan, these players are playing the game but withholding from voting, participating or making any waves in the game thread. Since this is a faction game like ToD where we don't automatically all know our leaders (or leaders all knowing their followers), getting information from the game thread is critical, and any player who tries very hard to remain an enigma on-thread like these two make me very wary of what powers they are hiding.

So, if made Judge my selections for Lynchees will be Hanas and Bek Okhan. I've already submitted these choices as final.

If the thread as a whole agrees you can pick someone trustworthy to be Mayor who will pick me as Judge. If the thread leans elsewhere, so be it. I'm not even necessarily going to automatically vote for what would make me Judge, as new information and feelings might come out throughout the day, too. I'm just making this a public and concise option for discussion and as an example of how I hope we can keep things efficient with the elections to avoid missing another one and making future judges too powerful.

Boy, aren't you a stinker. Posted Image

The truth is that I ran out of bullets yesterday. I neglected to save a bullet to vote. My bad.


But since you're such a cutie pie... let's be friends =)

I think we need to elect a mayor today. For now I'm voting myself, but will switch. This is costly, but may benefit everyone, hopefully.

There is a ton of things happening in this game, and to be honest it's hard to follow. I'm not super-math guy like Barghast. My main contribution in this post is that it's pretty insane with all of the interactions, both public and private, and assuming any one thing will go "as expected" is probably a bad idea.

Meanas, who do you think should be mayor?

Lock, who do you support for Judge?

I'm on the fence right now. I had a lovely chat with Demelain yesterday and am considering giving him the nod because he was so nice and promised not to give someone Judge that would lynch me *cough cough Grasp cough*. Posted Image

Sorry, Bek, I have Grasp as one of my choices for Judge, but I'm willing to change. I just want to do two things. One, help assure we get a lynch(that isn't me), and gain the XP of Mayor.

My top choices for Judge are Meanas, Grasp, Demelain, Barghast, and me(if not mayor of course).

I can't really afford it this phase. I'm saving enough bullets to be able to remove vote, and vote again in case needed. I'm wary of letting multiple lynches pile up.

Lock, I could support Meanas for Judge and would be willing to nominate you for Mayor if you went in that direction. I can open communications with you, as well, but my hearts are limited.

Open comms if you can. I already used two cantrips.

I can say for now that I will nominate Meanas for Judge if elected, but I'd still need to hear from all others whose votes I'd need. Hopefully, a general consensus can he reached. I'd like the XP from Mayor, as well as securing the lynch, but the judge gets TWO lynches. I'd want to hear his lynch targets again, as the lynch targets are the true important piece of the puzzle.

I'm wondering about this scenario. The mayor sends player A as Judge. The judge, player A, has already sent his choice for lynch into PS, say player X. So, once the mayor is chosen, PS sees that player A is the judge choice, and that player A selected player X as the lynchee. Does PS post the choices of Judge and Lynchee, or does player X just get lynched? Maybe I'm over-thinking this.

We have plenty of time, so does anyone want to volunteer their lynch choices, so that I, or whoever gets mayor can start choosing their judge? At least we would have a more solid idea about who we end up lynching.

For example, if I'm mayor and players A, B, and C say they will lynch X, Y, and Z if made judge, we can start choosing who we want as Judge. Wow, this is complicated, eh.

Having finished a re-read, there are still too many unknowns, ;)

that being said, If I'm appointed as a judge, my targets will be Hanas and Demelain. Hans, because low-posts, and Demelain, b/c I'm getting an impression he's not on my team.


ETA, since i'm adding bullets anyways: I'll wait on bargy to make us another "if you want X lynched, vote Y for mayor" chart, but I'm amenable to vote anyone who picks judges that think along the same lines as me.

I am a little Heart shy right now. I'm debating how I best want to do this. Give me an hour or two to think it over.
