Election! - The Game Thread

^ I didn't intend to post that post, lag got me

this is what I wanted to post:

xorbie's plan is actually the best out of all, standard, but quite good (no need for bloc to claim. Head bloc, you must create an inconspicious code for your bloc to do tomorrow)

support xorbie

Alternate Win condition for the Wolves: Control the Electorate.

If the only members of the Electorate are Wolves, and the Dictator is dead - then it looks to me that Wolves win.

Thus in the first two days, we need to have as many people as possible use their votes at in the last hour on random players.

the best way to have the voting bloc go is to have them send out a message, confirm in thread with some code word, then all vote one of themselves on the council. once a single voting bloc member dies, the rest can just come out and we have a confirmed villager on the council.

I basically agree with this but I think it should be more complicated. It needs to be discreet enough so that the wolves can't pick up on it but also concrete enough so that a random player is unlikely to duplicate it by accident. We only get one shot at this - I would think we would want some combination of like 4 or 5 things none of which would stand out individually at all in order for them to identify each other.

Good people of Pogvannah,

I am searching for a policy chairman for the econophile for elector 2008 exploratory committee.

My name is econophile and I approve this message.

what?
a voting bloc with a head bloc who can send messages to the voting bloc is just asking for 4 confirmed villagers
I'm sure that this was taken into account for balance, and we'd be fools not to use it

wait
scotthoward is the one lecturing me about this, wtf?

I almost typed "do NOT support scotthoward" but then I realized that it was so bad that it could be a villager tell

Not true, with the legacy system, villagers can become eligible on n4

his support list includes mets, and while I love mets and all, it appears zurv was trying to list players who were able to create longwinded well thought out detailed posts:

My list is composed of players I consider to be good at this game. Mets deserves his spot.

[traz]

I think there are players who are better suited at being on the council in the early days, and some players who are better suited for mid-game

that won't help if they don't get onto the electorate before day four.

If the electorate is all wolves, they could either refuse to pass on their legacy, or pass it to the other wolves. They would then control the game.
