Kingmaker Mafia

[Ferret]

Repeat Kings will be allowed by that point. But I agree it would be a silly move, giving yourself a clear link to your scum partner so early in the game. You never know though.

[BSmith]

This is just the sort of thing scum would say. A sip of WIFOM about one and then some non-commital opinion about another. Ferret I denounce you! Firstly, I place on you my INEFFECTIVE VOTE! (unvote, vote: Duke Ferret of Leet) THEN! - despite my lack of official Elector status, or indeed there being any such system of democracy in our land - I DO NOT elect you as King!. There. Take that. I agree with your choices though.

Well, he is right about one thing. I much prefer to be an honest scumbag than a lying one.

[El Barto]

vote: Makrell should die.

[Makrell]

We need more votes. MORE DATA

Also bandwagons on crasy makrell is no good.

[BSmith]

Bandwagons on anyone is no good. It all comes down to who's head the king wants.

[El Barto]

Also bandwagons on crasy makrell is no good.

I didn't expect you to say anything else, you crazy Viking.

[Double A]

There are other kinds of viking?

[Makrell]

There are other kinds of viking?

The skiing viking

[Ferret]

I've never heard anyone call the Techno Viking crazy.

[BSmith]

There is a fine line between data and noise...

[El Barto]

All hail das Techno Viking!

[Choxorn]

I agree that Makrell should die.

[Gaius Scribonius Curio]

If we are talking about who would make a good King: I would be happiest with Ferret or BSmith (no hard feelings to the rest), because I strongly feel that they would make a well-reasoned decision (and again, that is no slur aimed the rest).

On the other hand, the further the game progresses, the more information there is available to use in coming to a well-reasoned decision.

Moreover, even a mafioso can come to a decision that appears well-reasoned...

I should stop before I descend into post-modernist nonsense. Essentially, the trade-off here is between who do you trust to come to the best decision, and who do you think might be mafia? I would advocate that both King and Kingmaker takes the offered advice of the group as a whole.

[Ferret]

I still don't see how anyone could expect useful data to be generated on day 1. All we have to go on at this point is trying to guess who would appoint Monty as King, and that doesn't remotely help us figure out who the mafia is...

Though I suppose we've gained a, probably meaningless, link between edse and Makrell.

Edit: I should learn to refresh the page before posting... This was in response to BSmith.

[El Barto]

What link between edse and Makrell?

[Double A]

Well, if the kingmaker has to be townie, then whoever chose Monty is obviously town. I figure Monty being chosen might have something to do with him being the champion. Who wants to play Chase the Tangent with me?

[Gaius Scribonius Curio]

If I read Monty correctly, he also will not cut himself up about being forced to make an essentially random choice either. He seems to live for chaos.

[Montmorency]

I decree that Vote: Ferret

[Gaius Scribonius Curio]

Honourable members of the jury, as evidence of my prior statement I submit Exhibit A above.

[Visor]

End Day 1

Ferret has died! He was a townie.

Alive 11/12:
1. Choxorn
2. Montmorency - KING
4. Gaius Scribonius Curio
5. Double A
6. Darth Feather
7. Makrell
8. Edse
9. Ibn-Khaldun
10. El Barto
11. LazyMcCrow
12. BSmith

Dead 1/12:
3. Ferret, lynched D1, town.

Night falls, the assassins and kingmaker have just over 24 hours to submit their choices.

[Gaius Scribonius Curio]

In all seriousness, Montmorency, did you have a reason for your vote?

[Makrell]

In all seriousness, Montmorency, did you have a reason for your vote?

Meh, i couldve done the same.

[Gaius Scribonius Curio]

I am not asking in a perjorative sense. The more data we have the better the situation we are in. If Monty acted without a reason, I am hardly going to crucify him: it's day 1. If, however, he had a reason, it would add to the amount of information the rest of us have to work with, if he were to share it.

Of course, there are problems with honesty and what have you, but I believe that being honest would not hinder him whether he is town or mafia. Given that I choose to believe that he will be honest...

[Montmorency]

Not really.

He was last to enter the scene, maybe?

[Ferret]

Well that's the last time I try and provide data.

This is the trouble with posting a lot on day 1, it just draws attention to you. Meanwhile the likes of Choxorn and Ibn-Khaldun can lurk their way along completely unnoticed.

[Darth Feather]

M'lord, I propose a Vote choxorn and Ibn-Khaldun in the near future if they don't post a lot.

(also that goes for every other townie btw including me)

[Makrell]

Well that's the last time I try and provide data.

This is the trouble with posting a lot on day 1, it just draws attention to you. Meanwhile the likes of Choxorn and Ibn-Khaldun can lurk their way along completely unnoticed.

But you did it late, which is what monty was drawn to. But i agree, lurkers beware

[Ferret]

Well it's not my fault the round started when I was asleep.

[Riedquat]

M'lord, I propose a Vote choxorn and Ibn-Khaldun in the near future if they don't post a lot.

Let me tell you something... Riedquat Twice is not happy with your idea

[Darth Feather]

Read small letters. They explain my point.
