Election! - The Game Thread

[xorbie]

hopefully this is my last strategy post. scott's plan isn't great, because it eliminates the whole point of the game. fnord is correct. however, a lot of people in the village seem to have absolutely no opinion whatsoever on who to lynch. i have to feel like a few of these are wolves. mathematically if we all just stand around and shoot the [censored] all day, we're likely to end up with a mostly villager electorate who then lynches a villager. fantastic for wolves, not so hot for the village.

that's why it's best to not worry so much about who we send to the electorate (wolf/villager) but just make sure to talk a lot about who is a wolf and who is not a wolf. this way if the council lynches someone that nobody really suspected at all, they'd have to have a damn good reason. keep in mind people should be running on some sort of platform so we should roughly who they will be lynching anyway.

wdc made a post earlier in jest, but i think the point is valid. wolves on the electorate will not automatically lynch villagers. let's say the village is discssing people to lynch and consensus is that three people are all highly suspect. if two of those end up being wolves and a wolf on the electorate ends up lynching the one villager... well that just looks bad.

again, we should be getting good wolf finders on the council and be vigilant about discussing things in the thread as opposed to just getting some villagers up there with no accountability and no reason to asssume they know who is or is not a wolf.
