... if I could vote, I would do it to the Moonlit Shadow for a ridiculous claim.

1. Cowering doesn't make sense for a politician's action. If you claimed "survivor" or "child" or "stowaway", maybe...
2. And two: makes all votes against you the next day do nothing? It seems to me that that would make far more sense if it worked on votes the same day it is used.
3. On top of that: your claim looks to me like you're saying "don't vote me, I might make your vote against me useless".

In other news, Starver's doing roles probability math. Way to go.

I don't know, cowering politician makes sense to me.

Potentially, however, if Tomasque wanted to have a "cower" ability, would he not have made a role that fit the action better?

It DOES fit the action.

Mine is probably less fitting.

Note bolded text. There are other potential actions for a "politician" role that would fit it better than cowering. And there are roles that would fit a "cower" action better than politician.

Your claim of an ability that wards away votes is going to make people less likely to vote for you if they believe it, because they'll believe their vote will be potentially wasted.
1. Cowering doesn't make sense for a politician's action. If you claimed "survivor" or "child" or "stowaway", maybe...
2. And two: makes all votes against you the next day do nothing? It seems to me that that would make far more sense if it worked on votes the same day it is used.
3. On top of that: your claim looks to me like you're saying "don't vote me, I might make your vote against me useless".
Read the bolded text. Those are several roles that would fit cowering better.

You don't realize what 'politician' means nowadays, do you?
Let's play the word association game! Politician... scheming, lying, backstabbing, ridiculous, Trump...
Are you sure you don't want to claim to be Neutral? Because if you're telling the truth, it would make a bit more sense for you to be a survivor...

Round 8 - Day 1
 A ship flew from a doomed world. Aboard it, the humans looked forward to their life in a habitable planet far away. However, the aliens that had claimed Earth were not going to let them go so easily. Unprepared for the menace among them, their justice system degenerated...

 This round has Martial Voting. Votes are anonymous. At the end of the day, anyone who was voted will know how many people voted them, and who it was that did. Each vote transfers into a "damage point," a value only visible to the person it applies to. Once a person has accumulated 3 damage points, they die.

 ...could it stop the alien threat?

Day ends Friday, 3:30 PM.
