With words and trickery. Just you wait, you'll see. You'l all see!
Let's not forget Monkey's override in the invitational. She got out of that one despite lynching town Blarg over scum Sorian.
There are many players here who could talk themselves out of a hole, not just them. But it's the risk you take with a mechanic like this.
I don't like either Fran or Ketkats feelings vs the leadership vote.
I like Sorian and Panda's reactions because they mirror my own, which is basically ruling yourself out as a leader seems weird right now because right now as a player you only know your own alignment, so you should be pretty alright with leading the charge if you're town. I don't buy getting it wrong on day 1 as a valid reason to sit out.
neither of these posts make me feel like I should avoid voting Sorian or Monkey, the 'scum masters'

You said:
No twisting of words was done. You denounced my question of your conviction so the assumption was that you appear to think you do have conviction.
Clearly you don't have a plan you can just execute right now. Not many players can (or should) have one less than an hour into the game.
Also I'd argue we don't necessarily need a "strong leader." Just a leader that can give us the most information.
So you don't want to give leader to someone that you don't think will be held accountable for their actions yet you advocate an RNG lynch?
Is it?
Flux has taken the same stance as you but I've still gathered a lot of information about him and his play. I don't feel that way about you, no matter how early in the game it is.
Terraforce's posts rub me the wrong way for reasons I can't fully explain. But it has in part to do with this.
I find it hard to believe he didn't notice the modifiers yet acted the way he did in the first post.

does it? Surely it means you want something done, unless you've got an amazing leader-dreamer who will do a no lynch.
Grizzly told us to read the modifier in the first post of the day, Terra could've easily done that mistake. This is nothing.
I mean, now you're taking two different circumstances and mashing them together. I have had strong conviction for who to lynch on D1 before. I do not have that right now, and I may not have it later. Even if I do, I think I'd rather appeal to the leader instead of representing everyone on my own.
And sure, I agree that the leader doesn't need to have a direction themselves and, really, anyone who will give us the most information works. But I think that, naturally, those who will will be the ones who have something they want to achieve.
Of course, just messing with that mod mention haha.
I'll add Ketkat to my list as well. Normally I find myself low key agreeing with everything she posts, but she already posted a bit on a few weird assumptions.
I mean, it was in bright red lettering right as the day started. Who reads the front page anymore? :P
The first few hours and last few hours of d1 are generally among the busiest times. But at least you arrived before too much has happened.
I think I would need to be almost certain than Sorian is town to contemplate giving him the power. Monkey IDK if I trust her to make the correct decision either way.
I do agree that whoever we elect doesn't have to hit mafia or else since we should be giving this to the person people think is the most town.
RNG for me, accountability for thee
But seriously, regardless of whether or not I actually pulled a name out of a hat, no one else in the game would be able to verify that and I would expect people to question why I chose whoever I did. It just sounded like a fun idea at the time to throw out for no real reason. At least no one's advocated for a no lynch on Day 1 yet!
Yes, it is when you want to lynch a player with just the info that you have from the first hour of the game. It looks like you are using cheaps excuses to justify a weak lynch.
If the final vote comes out of nowhere, then it'd be pretty suspicious. It won't avail the leader of complete suspicion.
Why are you defending Terra?
Terra is a big boy, let him defend himself.
Natiko, Geno, Faddy, Sorian seem to be about what I expect right now.
Flux/Terra needs reading in the morning, they're writing too much.
Pirate Bae is interesting, both for suggesting targeting Flux/Fran already and claiming Fran has done nothing of value. Fran's left one of the strongest impressions on me so far.

rac, who would you execute if you get elected today?
By "what needs to be done" you mean Blarg? lol
QUOTE="Geno, post: 16606234, member: 24233"]Damn this is actually smart.[/QUOTE]
Is this serious?
Post #73 and #74 are the posts I read that mention voting, but have no indication on modifiers which appear to be exclusive to the first page. I'm not sure where your confusion lies, or what you even think I would get out of lying about something so surface level.
Then explain yourself more. Why don't you trust yourself? Why are you so unwilling to take the risk?
(If you've already answered these I apologize I must have missed them)
Aye. I'm not sure what you WOULD get out of it. In retrospect, it's kinda town-ish?
That's an specific thought you had right there. You think it is impossible for scum to be suspicious of one another at D1 like that?
I agree on picking a governor, then the remaining 26 players picking 2 candidates for the governor to choose from, I think that is how we get the most info, so I 'm liking Sorian and Natiko for proposing it.
It will require communicating in an understandable way, so I don't think I will vote for blarg as governor, but not because I necesarily scum read him, but because I have a hard time following blargspeak.

Alright Ive read through most of the day now including the modifier. No strong feeling on who to vote for as leader rn. Of course it'd be my pleasure to lead you all to victory if given the chance though. I am known for being very trustworthy in these games.
This feels like such an odd reply. It's not my first game Terra, I know :)
During my many years playing with this [Mafia] community, I have had the chance to secret away a grand Power somewhere within the halls of Days past.
Huh? What's specific is how you came to this conclusion that I was talking about scum suspecting each other. Weird.
I was talking about how a leader voting for scum doesn't mean that the leader is town. I thought that was pretty straightforward, until your reply.
I have been talking about this for a while. Now it seems that you wanted a weak excuse without even reading my posts.
Kinda the opposite of what you posted haha.
Pretty clear to me that Town would get really suspicious at LYLO/MYLO if a "cleared Townie" didn't get killed throughout the game.
Okay, I get wanting to vote for a strong town read, makes sense.
Why is Sorian an outlier though and needs near certainty?
i mean sure if you do it that blatant but if you know who your scum teammates are it should be easy to go back later in the day and manufacture some bullshit
We have 24 hours to discuss the lynch after we choose the leader so it wouldn't be too hard to coordinate.
