Now, now, we shouldn't lynch Dr.Dragoon the first chance we get. Unless he's a mafia. But we should probably be nice and let him live for a day or two.

Even with this message, I have no real reason to vote for you. As far as I can tell, this is just a gimmick to get more votes. None of your points are actually very useful. Your first point: 1: I spend far too much time at home, so I will always have time to check tl.net and do the double lynch if the town asks. Okay, so you spend a lot of time one the computer, and you'll double lynch if we ask it. That's nice. First, you mention that you spend a lot of time at home, and we can only assume you mean the computer. Fair enough, but Mafia is not a game that requires a lot of timing, unless perhaps you are mafia organizing to fix an election. I know you aren't mafia though, because I haven't received my role PM yet, so I assume you haven't either. Also, you mention that you'll use double lynch if the town asks you to. Do you think you're the only one? You were in the last game, you saw how quickly we turned on FakeSteve. Even then, he had used double lynches whenever we asked him, and he still got lynched. I seriously doubt there'll be any mayor that won't use a doubly lynch if the town demands it. Governments should be afraid of their people. Your next point: 2: I will always double lynch if town asks (a good thing) Okay, I've already covered that. You're hardly unique there, any mayor we elect will double lynch if the town asks. 3: I will be taking an active role trying to figure out clues and this way I will be able to willingly post them without fear of mafia taking me out. That's quite nice of you, but it's hardly unique to mayors. Many townies can, and do, analyze clues and post, regardless of the consequences. Furthermore, if as mayor you do your own analysis, you are likely to be biased in favor of your own conclusions. If you instead weigh all conclusions equally, you can use your extra votes more fairly. 4: I took the time to write this pm to you hoping to convince you so you do not have to look though pages of spam in the actual thread. I call BS. I have no reason to believe that this is an individual PM, hand-crafted for me alone. Your PM is perfect for mailing to a lot of people; it has no specific details, and the 'wisdom' contained is simple enough for anybody to understand. If you really want to show that you care, you have to acknowledge the individual recipient of the PM. For example, I was a paramedic in the last game, and yet you did not mention this to me at all. If you had, it would have been a more tangible human connection than the rest of this PM. By not saying this, I can judge one of two things; this is a stock PM, sent out to every single person on the TL mafia list, or that you did not pay any attention last game. TLers are not, in general, stupid. Most of us, I would hope, can see through this kind of thing very easily. By sending this PM, you demean us (without meaning to, I'll admit that), and don't show any respect for the individual. A good politician can make his constituency think he cares about each of them individually. You have a long way to go yet. Still, props for trying, it's nice that you've made the effort. I might vote for you. Or, I might not, you'll know in a few days. + Show Spoiler [Original Message] + ----------------------------------------- Original Message: Hey, you barely know me, but you might have seen me around TL.net particularly the mafia game. This is just a PM to ask you to vote for me for mayor, because that would rock. I'm sure you have your own ideas, but if you are undecided and don't know whom to vote for, please consider me, randombum. Here are some reasons as to why I would be a good choice. 1: I spend far too much time at home, so I will always have time to check tl.net and do the double lynch if the town asks. 2: I will always double lynch if town asks (a good thing) 3: I will be taking an active role trying to figure out clues and this way I will be able to willingly post them without fear of mafia taking me out. 4: I took the time to write this pm to you hoping to convince you so you do not have to look though pages of spam in the actual thread.

Do those two roles get to participate as normal in the mafia, and are the mafia aware of their roles? They are included in the mafia (there are 130 people total, 110 town + 20 mafia = 130). I would assume that the mafia know their roles, and they do participate normally in the mafia. | ||

fusionsdf--I don't know if he's a mafia or not, it's too early to tell. He did announce his candidacy before the game ever began though, so he probably enjoys the game a lot. In his favor, he apparently rightly guessed a lot of mafioso from game one. However, the catch is that he did it with Plexa. Small though the chance may be, this might be during time that Plexa would have otherwise devoted to writing TLFE's. Can we take that chance? Meh: His candidacy might be a joke, he seems to have zero votes, but it was a pretty good argument randombum: I kind of liked his mass PM, it showed effort. I'm not so sure about his voting record in game 1 though. He voted half the time, although with 100% accuracy (voted FS for mayor, and voted to lynch mafia the only times he voted). I'm not sure if he'll increase his activity this game, but he seems to have quite the good record for rooting out mafia. SoMuchBetter: Ah, SMB. I didn't trust him at all last game, and he turned out to be a townie. Go figure. Also because of last game, whenever I think of SoMuchBetter, I think of a fat guy in a purple suit with a monocle. Last game, he kind of disappeared off the radar after failing his mayoral campaign, but that was probably because he didn't get elected. He also sent out mass PM's, with MSpaint in them (also before the role PM's), but he was pretty much copying randombum in them. Ghar: He posted an MS paint image, but not much else. He's an unknown here, as he registered and his first post was in the mafia thread (maybe all of his posts are in the mafia thread) SunuvBob: After asking around a bit, he decided to run for mayor. I guess this shows that he isn't afraid of a bit of work looking through profiles, but at first he was asking others to do it for him. In his favor, he is a mod--I assume that he has methods of searching at his disposal that we do not (can you search for posts by a certain person? I don't know how). His platform is also excellent. araav: He has a fairly sensible platform, and he also went the extra mile by making a list of all of 130 profiles. I respect your hard work, but since he didn't play in the first round, I have no voting record to base stuff off of. Kuja900: I'm biased against him, because of his post. To Kuja900: please use punctuation. (These should be posted in the order that they proclaimed their candidacy. The last two on the list actually started their campaign after I started writing this, but before I posted it. Good thing I checked for that before I posted.) My favorites here are: fusionsdf -- he seems to have worked hard at rooting out mafia in game one, and was fairly successful. Props to him, but he did have another guy to bounce ideas off of. What if one person out of the pair winds up mafia, and they still trade ideas? Sure, Plexa publicly supported his nomination, but that could be real, or it could be a trick, we don't know. randombum -- His mass PM showed a bit of effort and initiative, even if it wasn't so well thought out. He also has quite the voting record in game 1, which is a point in his favor. SunuvBob -- I don't know much about him, but he's a mod. If he araav -- The man isn't afraid of doing some hard detective work. Otherwise, still an unknown. I hope that this (opinionated) guide to the candidates helps with your voting. ==edit== Apparently there's more to Ghar than what I wrote down, but I'm going to ignore it for now, because it's 1:00 AM here. | ||

Last game, he kind of disappeared off the radar after failing his mayoral campaign, but that was probably because he didn't get elected. He also sent out mass PM's (apparently to like 10 people, rather than 130 though), with MSpaint in them (also before the role PM's), but he was pretty much copying randombum in them. Ghar: So far, all we know about him is that he registered for the forum for the mafia game, and that his plan of action is for all the detectives to PM him. I don't really like this, because the best scenario is a guy who knows who all the detectives are, with the addition of a few mafia. The worst scenario is a mafioso who is willing to sacrifice himself in return for denying the town a mayor and as many detectives as possibile. SunuvBob: After asking around a bit, he decided to run for mayor.

To Kuja900: please use punctuation. Ace: I missed his candidacy post the first time, but I'm liking his ideas. His bodyguard plan seems pretty damn good, much better than our elder=leader plan last game. His arguments are rational, and I'm liking that. Empyrean: Claims to be a detective, and is trying to force us to vote for him. Is it worth the risk? Why would a real detective come out of the closet so early? I'm distrustful of his early gambit, but if he isn't lying, then we might waste a golden opportunity. I just don't know. I hope that this (opinionated) guide to the candidates helps with your voting. ==edit== Forgot to add Empyrean. Oh, and I voted for Ace, in case you were wondering. | ||

With age comes wisdom and experience. With luck, he has gained enough experience with age to advance a few levels, making him more powerful, and giving him bonus skill points. Also, with age, your Wis stat increases. This is important, because Wisdom includes intuition, and given the town's track record of analyzing clues, this may be important. Furthermore, WIS effects savings throws and survival checks, and Sense Motive uses Wisdom as it's key ability. All of his stat bonuses have modifiers with age. In his profile, his birthday is listed in 1979. This means he's at about middle age at this point, which means: -1 to Str, Dex, and Con; +1 to Int, Wis, and Cha As can be seen, you get more intelligent as well as wiser with age, as shown by his coding skills. Most unfortunately, he has -1 to Str, Dex and Con. If the mafia goes after him, this could prove fatal. This informative post brought to you by CDRdude. (RIP Gary Gygax) | ||

+ Show Spoiler [Why there is no flaw] + Okay. In this example, we will have 7 bodyguards, 1 mayor, 20 mafia, and a bunch of other people who aren't important, we can call them townies. If the mayor is mafia, and is smart, he will do this: Send a PM to: Bodyguard 1 Mafia 1 Mafia 2 . . . Mafia 6 As far as the legitimate bodyguard can tell, this is legit. The mafia will obviously claim to be bodyguards, and Bodyguard 1 won't know better. Send a PM to: Bodyguard 2 Mafia 1 Mafia 2 . . . Mafia 6 Again, the real bodyguard can't tell the difference. PM3: Mafia 1 Mafia 2 . . . Mafia 6 You should be getting the point by now. If you aren't, you probably don't deserve to be mayor. The mafia mayor can do this a total of seven times, so that each bodyguard receives a PM with 6 other people on it. Each of those people insist that they are bodyguards, the real bodyguards won't know the difference, and no real bodyguard will be left out. Since no real bodyguard will be left out, nobody will stand out to say that they didn't receive a PM. This can't last forever, but it can do a lot of damage. One of two things will happen; either a bodyguard will stand out, according to qrs' plan. The other (real) bodyguards will recognize him as not being in their group, and they'll cry out. Confusion ensues, but people will soon realize that the mayor is a mafioso. However, this takes a bit of time, and the mafia gets a good bit of damage in. BUT---once the real situation is discovered, mafia's 1-6 lives are forfeit. Net gain for the town. The mafia could avoid some of this by mixing in more bodyguards to the PM's, but even then it's a loss for the mafia, gain for the town. The other possibility is if no bodyguard stands out (the mayor ignores qrs' plan) and a fake detective proclaims that the mayor is innocent. That's nice. However, that also assumes that no other detective checked on the mayor, which is unlikely to happen. Soon, the truth will come out, and the bodyguards will realize that the others in the message are fakes, and can be lynched/mad hatted/killed during the night/permabanned or whatever. End result: town is ahead. This will be a bit bloody, but about equal numbers of mafia and town will die here, so that's still +town. How to avoid all the mess: Basically, qrs' plan is needed. A bodyguard has to step forward. All the real bodyguards will know whether or not he was included in the PM to them, so you don't have to confirm anything. Of course, that bodyguard will probably be gunned down during the night, but whatever, sucks for him. | ||

I voted for FS for the pure roflness of it, the game ended so much more entertaining because of it. He's probably against FS (orr maybe joking) because FS' first act as mayor was to insta-lynch Alethios. I think he's joking, but he has reason to be annoyed. | ||

I'm not really sure about Ralph Nader's international prestige, but I really doubt it extends to Afghanistan. And it might not extend to Australia either, which is what Ghar's profile lists. | ||
