The fact you know you don't want to be Leader is proof that you should be. Or something.

I did not highlight it the correct way. If that is the case, then feel free to kick me out.
If you edit so fast that the "last edited" thing doesn't come up then you win.
You'll probably get a warning, but barring extreme exceptions, you can't edit a post retroactively. Someone can redact pertinent info that way. There've been a couple exceptions, but if you need to vote again, then you have to post again.
You're kinda right... But that's specifically because of this modifier. I wouldn't trust myself with the final vote. At least not now.
I think it takes someone with a strong conviction to be elected the leader and take the final shot at who should be lynched on Day 1.5. Voting for a lynch in a group is one thing, but having the final say?
Well, as I'm typing that, I realize that makes me sound more suspicious.
'Cause I don't like them.
You're fine. Don't worry about it. Just remember that it's better to make a new post then try and stealth edit a previous one.
I'm worried about just how many people that might kill though. I saw what happened in there!
No no, you always get a warning first. Wasn't trying to scare you, just giving you a heads up. Heck, sometimes even vets do it by mistake, so it's definitely understandable. Just letting you know for future reference.
That loophole would be so easy to utilize in a game like this lol. I think you have a clean 5 or so minute window to edit before that actually appears under a message.
A cute idea, but seems a bit hasty until we see which Blarg we're getting.
You're new so it'll be okay. Just read the rules closely.
I think mods get to see that it was edited regardless so.. RIP
No one's going to kick you out unless you completely ignore the rules, but we are going to say "hey, there are rules, you should make sure you are familiar so you don't get modkilled, which is bad for your team."
anyway, peace out, friends, back in a while, curious to see how how votes shake out while I'm gone. For the record, I don't see anything bad in self-voting, but I also don't think I'm gonna do it. I'm just reminded that the only person you can trust in this game is yourself.
Well that's... frank. So of the people who voted for themselves, anyone stand out?
It's in the special rules at the start; you should make sure to go through them. We can vote for a game theme every night phase.
Strong conviction on a day one vote. Naaah.
At best we can get something out of the leader's choice. While something is greater than 0, it necessarily ain't that much at all.
Who has the credentials of either correctly using an override or vig shot?
There's something to be said for if we vote for modifiers that will be the most interesting or ones that will potentially be the most helpful. My gut reaction would be to vote for Love Boat since it might give us a lot of unique interactions to work with.
And what makes you think that you don't have that conviction?
Ah it's on the first page. I usually skip that other than copying down the player list. Thanks for the heads up.
You wouldn't trust yourself with the final vote on day 1 in a 27 player game? What in in the world...
I'm not your friend then, I'm definitely voting for cthulhu. That's where Blarg and I started our mess together, it's the only way.
Conviction? No. All it does it make you a target for the rest of the game unless you kill scum. Whether that actually makes sense is a different conversation but all that really does is tell me you don't want to be in the spotlight.
Is it? On GAF, it was less than a minute, I never paid attention to what it was here to be honest (I've definitely stealth edited on here, sue me)
Kind of? There's definitely a lot to be gained from looking back at what's said on Day 1, but it does feel like we just kind of wing it and go for whoever when it comes to the actual votes. It would certainly save me a lot of time to use a hat!
rng mod best mod, all hail random.org
Serious Kyaaa thinks that while it might be da safe option to go for vanilla-ish mods (that is, those that come from more vanilla games), game-design POV says that not all modifiers are self-explanatory like that. I imagine there are some curve balls in there. Test vanilla, fear the worst.

Generally speaking whoever we do pick as leader should be someone that will lynch someone a majority of players would want to see flipped. Similar to what we have done in the past when someone claimed an override but didn't know who to use it on (can't remember what game that was).
Of course! I will be very sad if I die before seeing it.
Ok that's a good enough excuse, we can still be friends.
He says he wouldn't trust himself with the vote. It's very wishy-washy. So I want to see him voted leader to force him to make a vote so we get more info on him.
There's pros and cons to both ways. Doing it like this is the most vanilla way of handling it since it gives us the same info any day 1 would. Letting them choose, even with some consul from others gives us a more direct read on one person.
Not really. But I'm definitely going to side-eye anyone who really wants to be the leader during this day phase.
Yeah, it's typical for Day 1. However, even on Day 1, the decision to lynch is based on the conversations we've had and whatever info might have come out. So the one who'll pull the trigger won't be doing it at random, and they should have some target in mind if they aim to be elected. Or else, why were they even made the leader?
I do, as I've shown in previous games. But when the spotlight's on you? I dunno, it's gonna be a weird ass feeling for whoever gets elected and does the final vote in the end, and it's something I never liked before.
There's a difference in voting with flimsy reasoning and purely RNGing it though. With RNG you're essentially trying to say you hold no responsibility for who the vote lands on. Dislike.
If elected, I'll actually put thought into it and not meme.
Man, elections are easy.
Yeah good plan if you don't like winning elections.
I'm going to Build a Wall and Sorian will be first against it!
I wouldn't trust myself with the final vote on any Day phase. It's a lot of power and responsibility. A lot of this is because the game just started, so we're still sussing out everyone's positions and it's wishy-washy because, really, at this point it should be.
I guess I'd have no problem being elected once I have a more solid position.
So then, why do you want to be the leader?
