RE: New leadership
Fellow townies, yesterday was a disaster. Plenty of blame to go around, and I am far from blameless. And its Lynch or Lose. But let us not squander this time, but rather put it to productive use.
Toonyman is dead. In these trying times, Town needs strong leadership.
Thus, I EuchreJack shall be your leader.
You hate me. That shall be the foundation of my leadership.
Do what I tell you, then we can discuss new leadership.
(Dispensed with the threats, you don't need that right now. Honestly, willing to step aside for the right candidate. My assignments are pretty much a way to prove you can do that. Treat me as "transitional leadership", until Town's true champion steps forth)
Assignments:
Toonyman: Damn, I had wanted to give you orders, and now you're dead.
Roden: You are pissed at me for ruining your scheme to vote FOU or Magma. And considering Toonyman is dead, and was the tracker, you were right.
I am therefore giving you a chance to make a compelling case (ISO? your call) against FOU,
a compelling case against Magma, and since I've been unable to decide whether or not FOU/Magma is a realistic scum team, an analysis of the likelihood of them being on a team together. Since I rate you highly, maybe this is your chance to step up and lead town?
I'll split the load, in any way you wish.
Magma: You are probably the only one that suspects Roden. Nobody should evade careful evaluation, so you shall analyze Roden. Tell us what we have missed. Maybe your deep analysis shall convince town that you are its rightful leader?
Pref: You're smart, so you get a hard assignment. Analyze Toonyman's trail for possible leads. Maybe you can prove that only you are smart enough to lead town?
FOU: Analyze Pref as possible scum. I'm sure I can trust you to do a good job in this.
You are all free to take this opportunity to analyze me as scum. I don't have to tell you that: You certainly hate me enough that you'll do it without prodding.
I will be primarily busy riding you to complete your tasks, and fighting off your various attempts to usurp me. And carrying out my threats, if need be.
The sooner you complete these tasks, the sooner you can take over from me.
Get to work people. I trust most of you will do a good job.
PS: I had zero hours to write this. It was fully drafted, then Toony died. You are fine people, and you deserve better than this, but it will have to do. I believe you can do this. I'm hopeful this can be of some use. We can't afford the disorganization of Day 2. We can win!
