Well I wrote all the role flavor and got the setup designed and sent all that out, but right now I'm sleep-deprived and if I try to write a worthy opening post, it's going to come out terrible and full of typos, so I'm going to delay the start of the game until this afternoon, Central time.

Hope that's okay with y'all.

To be explicit, game not started yet.

Day 1 - Gathered For The Sake Of The Future

The Jade Palace's deliberation chamber was only rarely used. The security of it was the very thing that made it a trial to make use of - its layers of protection, bureaucratic and physical, were greater in number than even the Emperor's throne room. The servants watched each other for any suspicious signs, as did the palace guards. It was an environment that could drive even the most enduring worker to a paranoid spasm, and for the sake of all the Court, the chamber lay empty nearly every year.

There were few exceptions to this rule. The highest of trials, of corrupted officials and greater district managers, could be conducted within if the need was great. When the Palace was under military threat, the Emperor could be secluded within, to take advantage of the chamber's physical security.

And when the Emperor was dead, only the highest security would suffice for those choosing the person to take his place.

Ten people gathered, watched by the most loyal and trustworthy guards, and shared tea and meal cakes prepared by the most loyal and honored servants. They could not leave, nor could anyone unauthorized enter. This was the procedural deliberation that would decide the future of the empire.

Welcome to Day 1. As a reminder, please vote for Nomination in blue. Good luck, everyone.

Day 1 has begun, and will end 8 PM Central time, Monday the 16th - as per time on weekends not counting.

[Knightwing64]

Well… what shall we do now? We are in quite a predicament and I believe that our first decision should not be made in haste but instead with careful deliberation.

[ToonyMan]

I could make a third joke about Jim being King again.

I like the roleplaying Knightwing, but I don't think I could do that all game.

Why You Should Nominate NotQuiteThere


He is handsome but mysterious


His character role is heroic and wise


He has no idea who the good or bad guys are so would not be best placed among the electorate

[notquitethere]

Here's how you should fill in your ballot: notquitethere

[ToonyMan]

Hahahaha, I'm convinced.

notquitethere

Alright, first thing we should do is determine Jack's alignment since he's the easiest to read. If he's town, we just win. If he's mafia, well that's one mafia member down.

[Knightwing64]

Uhhh. I’m not sure about that

I agree with this plan.

Also, I'm undecided if I should accept nominations or if no one will believe I'm Town, but I feel like not accepting nominations is scummy, so, whatever.

I will note, however, that I am a regular ol' Townie... I think.

Uhhh. I’m not sure about that

Not voting for you ever then.

[Knightwing64]

Wot, I was saying that I didn’t think jack was easy to read?

If elected Emperor, ER (me) promises to provide a joyous era of prosperity and kicking the crap out of our nation's enemies. That's right, I'm a ruthless son of a bitch. Hell, even the Onyx Cabal members doubtlessly among us should vote for me, I'll grant them amnesty and then appoint them to high ranks in the secret police where they can do their sicko shit legally!
Vote smart. Vote ER.
/RP

So, what's the strategy in this setup? Do we prefer to find scum or figure out confirmed town?
NQT seems legit, but I'm not sure if I see the value in voting so early. Not like it puts pressure on the scum. Is there something I'm missing with this evaluation?

Knightwing is posting, I'm glad. That last post has a scrap of substance to it, but let's see more! What reservations do you have about Roden's plan, Knightwing?
Oops, that's outdated now.

I was thinking this, but since you've said it out loud I'll be glad to point it out.

I think anybody who plays humble is probably scum. Although the fact you're aware of this makes it moot if you're scum so whatever. But at the same time, would you say this out loud in the first place if you were mafia? It's something to think about for sure.

Wot, I was saying that I didn’t think jack was easy to read?

Do you think you're easy to read?

Man, you're just making NQT's opener even better holy shit.

Vote town instead of scum.

See my point above. Since there's no traditional lynch in this game traditional pressure doesn't make much sense to do. The best form of offense in this game is to form a clique of safe emperor candidates that excludes scum.

You've made one post but I don't trust you.

Alright, first thing we should do is determine Jack's alignment since he's the easiest to read. If he's town, we just win. If he's mafia, well that's one mafia member down.

I also don't trust you.

I don't know if I trust you yet.

I don't know if I trust you yet but I'm thinking if I did I wouldn't be wrong to do so.

This is a man who knows exactly what he wants and is not afraid of getting it.
