I can imagine that the game is setup in such a way that were town to elect a scum president it wouldn't be absolutely crippling. I feel like more than anything, decision paralysis over the president thing is going to distract away from scumhunting until it's actually resolved. It's why I made an attempt to do it as soon as the night opened. Bif co-opted that and I was happy enough to let it happen as the reasoning for the acceleration was basically sound. But now that we have the clarification I think we should probably reset and have open nominations before narrowing down to a runoff. What I'll suggest is that we have nominations open until around 7am EST tomorrow (this is when I'll be able to collate votes quickly and easily) and then have a runoff until deadline around 7pm EST tomorrow. If people object to that please do, but if I don't get significant resistance I'll make a post declaring nominations open in around 20 minutes (2pm EST). If people object to me basically nominating myself commissioner of this election then feel free, but please please do not set up a new vote or new voting criteria. I'll recuse myself from nomination to maintain at least some impartiality.

It is now 2pm EST I haven't had any objections. I realise the time period for them was short, my apologies, but the time period for actually getting this poo poo done is also short. Free Nominations are Open, until 7am EST tomorrow freely ##nominate your preferred candidate. You may ##nominate nobody if you do not want a player to be voted president today.

Natural 20 posted:It is now 2pm EST I appreciate you doing this, and out of respect, I'm going to post more seriously here. ##nominate No One I would state, strategically, that granting anyone a temporary deathproof (with some additional responsibilities, presumably) is absolutely not a thing we should be doing without very, very good reason to believe that whoever we choose is town. I feel bad trying to ignore a major game gimmick, but without information on the presidency that pera seems to prefer not to provide, the known risk of picking someone we later want to lynch outweighs the hypothetical benefit of the role.

Asiina posted:I don't know what you're trying to prove with this stupid I am Spartacus nonsense. Like do you think I can't tell context and that you're saying that to be an rear end, as opposed to Kash who said it on D1 as a funny, funny joke out of nowhere. first of all, if you ever sass me like this again i will slap the toast right out of your mouth. i was prompting an actual explanation of why you still wanted to vote kash because 'he said he was scum' could imply many different reasons for wanting to kill him, or none at all. the joke on d1 seemed pretty natural in context in response to bminus' post. i dont actually ever recall anyone, except for me, doing what you are describing. i think you should re-examine whether there could be another possible motivation for saying that. just in TWEWY we had someone who wasn't scum (cat was a survivor) say "rawr im scum." kash continuing to do nothing is weird though

I could go into the whole "everyone should only want to nominate themselves, because they are only confirmed town to themselves" speech that you already know and you know I know because you're just posting nonsense but instead here is an anime woman throwing a dog.

I don't understand why you guys are against using a temporary game mechanic. it's day 2 of a huge game. it's not like the game is going to end if we choose wrong. the downside cannot be as big as some of you are making it out to be. afaik, there are no confirmed town players. come on, let's elect someone now and see what happens. The President will enjoy limited-duration detention-proofing and limited-duration death-proofing, meaning they will remain in the game for an undisclosed amount of time after being elected. The specific responsibilities assigned to the president are undisclosed.

Dead Cow posted:I'm not lurking, I just didn't participate in all the shitposting that happened in thread before the game really started. Also I'm not scum. Yooooooooooo I used to believe lurker lynch is great, and I still do... But the real way to address this is to look at how often the player is posting COMPARED TO THEIR USUAL PLAYING. To do this we look at the player list post per game https://votefinder.org/players So look at the lurkers, if they USUALLY have low post counts, then it's not a good measure. But if they are usually active, and are lurking in this game only, that's bad.
