Wait, Dp. Are you seriously stating that you want to put the mafia in charge of the lynch? I might have to read the OP to get to grips with this.

OK, then vote me for everything. You know I'm scummy as a townie and can't ever justify my actions.

My vote for Zack is a combination of the early jump on him making me leery combined with the way he talks about using the chancellorship. As most votes are during this stage, it's just a pressure vote.
Why Dp over myself, I don't know anyone here, so I have no reads on any of you, except for Dp. I feel putting myself in the position of power doesn't benefit the group in any way, and this gives me someone that I've watched in a few games (as host no less) and so the possibility of getting additional information out of him increases as he becomes more high profile. Basically, I'm working with what I have.
As to you, currently it appears to stand between you and Zack, who I don't want to get the job for the above mentioned reasons. IF another valid option comes along, I'll be happy to evaluate it, but again, you work with what you've got.
"the way he talks about using the chancellorship" ??
also lolpressurevotes
It's not as if no one else is making votes and arguments to sway the representatives. Just because you don't cast the final determining vote doesn't mean you aren't leaving a trail. Further, its not like we only argue in our own group, unless I missed some huge mechanic somewhere. Everyone will see the arguments made by others, its just that, theoretically at least, your own rep pays more attention.
Cool, so you guys have a different style, that's fine mate. We use them, often to good effect. If that bugs you, you're welcome to deal with it. As to using the chancellorship, someone tried to nail you down about that, and you started talking about going with your gut, and laid out some tentative plans for how you would deal with splitting the groups up. I found it did not inspire me. I'm pretty sure I articulated that above.
Jabbz, this is totalwar.org; here we do not behave seriously on D1. It is a longstanding tradition.

The problem with pressure votes is that they don't work a few hours into d1 of a no maj game
I dunno, I won last game playing like that.

Actually, my bad, somehow I transposed you and Dp101. My apologies, my only excuse is I was bouncing back and forth between reading and cleaning. I still don't like the jump on you by the masses, but obviously the other part no longer stands. I need to go back now and reread what you said about it instead of Dp, but I'm likely still going to be pushing for Cass because no one else seems to be systematically approaching the idea, and I like that style.
As to D1, there isn't much you can do anyway, so yeah, pressure votes are fine. There is almost no way to tell a wolf on day 1 unless they make a drastic mistake. Instead, all you can do is get people to be on record as much as possible on a broad swath of topics, so you have information to cross check in future days. If you have some magic wand that lets you know for a fact who a wolf is on day 1, then I'd love to learn about it, until then however, I'll stick with my pressure votes.
Indeed, I lobby whoever reps to lynch Visor. Most serious candidate to die D1.

So you want me to kill Visor in exchange for your vote? Hmmm-mmmh. This is interesting. I have Renata's destruction as my policy because she voted for me, but she is young and young people make mistakes. Visor has gotten old from trying to contradict me and this thing can be used to justifiably lynch him. Do I get any chocolate bars out of this?

Why not?
If everyone votes red at some point you just
I think that plan is fine?
Putting players you find scummy in actual power when you're only aiming to take out Scum is not a good idea. If you're lucky the vote they cast might convince you more that they're scum, but a majority of the time from their/scum perspective it's likely going to cost the Town a Townie so ... not worth it.
Plus, if you call the Districts Democratic and elect scummy players as the representatives they can more easily hide behind their vote being 'what the District wanted' at any point.
