ReverieIt's interesting how you're using this particular phrasing, byraway.
Feel free to think that, but I'm literally just going off of what I hear. If you missed it, I theorised that there are two town factions pitted against each other. One which wants to get rid of the mayor and any means to replace him (this is my own wincon, which I suppose I'll called anarcho-towny), and another which is mostly the same but wants to replace the mayor (as described in the flavour, and I think ATH falls into the category, possible mayor candidacy and all—I'll call these players candidate-townies). It's no secret that there is some mechanism in place to replace the mayor once we remove him. My wincon hints to as much. OSG being said mechanism would have been pretty clever, but the votecount can't lie and you had the foresight to get that checked. I'm not exactly convinced plucking off potential candidates is the cleanest way to go about this, but I'll return my vote to AbstractTraitorHero.
Hector, if you're of the mind that I tried to end this day on a no-lynch, why are you voting for ATH? Do you think he's bluffing about his ability to protect himself, thus ending the day on a no-lynch anyway?
At present, ATH has told us he can be a candidate for the position of mayor. My PM doesn't tell me I can (or can't) be a candidate, but one way to remove the possibility of a re-elected mayor is to get rid of the candidates.
One thing to be considerate of is the potential that the mayor's wincon is to be the only candidate left (and holding the position) so... I'd rather get on with finding the mayor after this.
One suspect, for me, is Moonlit, as I mentioned earlier. He hasn't been on to respond to those yet, though. But just to let
Moonlit know I'm serious, I'll pop a vote on him. ATH still has a third of the "electorate" (hohoho) voting for him- hm...
it just occured to me we may not be voting who we want to lynch, but are actually electing someone.If so, this lack of secret ballots is very undemocratic /voter rights /nonsense
PPE:
DADA and Reverie get no benefit of the doubt though. I feel their wincon claims came a little too long after we established that there is probably more than one wincon for town players.
This is questionable logic unless you expected all wincon claims to be simultaneous.
Not really. You both had the benefit of developed theorycraft from the rest of us before revealing your wincon, allowing you to tailor any claim - genuine or otherwise - to the prevailing wisdom. It's caution, rather than suspicion. It's also D1; we have nothing confirmed beyond our own PM's yet.
What do you have to tell us about the criminal you're s'posed to get rid of?
They're probably an arsonist based off the flavour text I got about them (hence why fillipk's oily interests are suspect to me). They also seem to be unrelated to the mafia, but that's not exactly surprising.
Do you have any means of protecting the rest of the town from the alleged arsonist?
Since you have a similar wincon to NQT, do you also have to replace the mayor?
Unless I missed something, NQT's claimed wincon doesn't involve replacing the mayor. Mine doesn't mention anything about replacing them one way or the other.
It wasn't so much his claimed wincon as his right-out-the-gate pondering that the mayor needs to be replaced as a condition of town victory. It makes sense to me that his wincon might include that.
PPE2:
I claimed cop and was telling the truth in my first game day one so this isn't out of character for me.
One hopes you would have learned from that experience
