POG Championship - POG Mayor Game Thread
 
Rules:
Every day everyone votes for one player. Think of it like day in a normal game of werewolf. If someone wins outright then that person chooses one person to be eliminated from the game. Repeat until it gets down to two people. When that happens the last 9 people eliminated vote for who has won the game. If there is a tie in the voting for the day then the thread is reopened and only those candidates who are the top can be voted in. Unless players change, everyone voting for them is assumed to continue to do so. If this still results in a tie then the previous player eliminated decides who in the game goes. If you are the person who decides the elimination then you have until the thread opens the next morning. If I don't get anything then I will choose randomly.

There is no communication allowed about this game outside of the thread. Any conspiring must be public.

Player list:
dmk
valenzuela
bulletproof monk
metsandfinsfan
spook
herbie
dusting
kokiri
bravos
zurvan
roundtower
nicholasp
alex jacob
luckayluck

a couple of these people didn't actually give an in but posted. If you don't want to play just let me know and you'll be eliminated. No biggie.

With 14 people, I think just going once per day is fine.

so i can change votes intraday just like werewolf, right?

sup sup.

I'm gonna make a very simple promise, that I guarantee you can believe. If you vote me as mayor, you will not get eliminated. There's a few people on this list that know they can trust me (or should know) due to past experience.

So, let's go ahead and make this happen. Am currently accepting applications for masons. Cheats and liars need not apply.

dmk 09-10-2007 11:43 AM

Re: POG Championship - POG Mayor Game Thread
 
zurv, masons

i intend to support all old-schoolers. i.e. zurv, nich, mets...wow, there aren't many left...

bravos i guess is too.

Yes.

I should have said Voting closes at 8:00 PM Eastern. It's earlier than usual because I would like to give a couple of hours to break a tie.

Indeed. My thoughts exactly.

Re: POG Championship - POG Mayor Game Thread
 
FWIW I have no active POG vendettas so there is nobody I really want to see eliminated early. Hopefully this game will start some......

I think you are trying to get eliminated first - do you have side action on this or something?

FWIW

i think absolutely everybody voting for zurvan is the way to go, but if you're unwilling to do that, I'm happy to form an ill-fated underpowered faction with you.

Also, does the American pronunciation of 'clique' really rhyme with 'flick' and not 'bleak'?

I don't really see why not. From a strategic standpoint, if it's a two-horse race then the two leading candidates will either each vote themselves or each throw away their votes. I guess it could matter if there are 3 big candidates and A really doesn't want C to win so he would vote B instead of throwing it away.

Meh, I say you can vote yourself. If there is some argument against it that I'm not getting feel free to make it and we can change this.

i know, that's what is so entertaining. That and the fact that you like to rest your chin on luckay's nutsack in these type of games too .... when realistically, you probably have a better chance of winning than luckay does

PS
elect zurvan

anyone who tries to skate along w/out becoming mayor is not getting my vote in the final 2 (if they make it there)

i want a mayor who is willing to get his hands dirty

Re: POG Championship - POG Mayor Game Thread
 
If I'm still around I would like to be mayor on Wednesday. I will roll out my platform at that time.

Zurvan 09-10-2007 12:43 PM

Re: POG Championship - POG Mayor Game Thread
 
If we can get enough people, we can just rotate mayor amongst ourselves.

I figured I'd put myself out there first, but I fully intend to keep my vote in the family.

Right now, that's me, dmk, mets & herbie, I think.

I'd like to bring bravos & nich in as well, and probably one or two others.

dmk, mets, herbie - how's that for a plan? Any objections?

dmk 09-10-2007 12:44 PM
