Worst attempt for the daykill imo

Elect: Titus

I think for now I can trust this one? FYI Menalque if you played into the same behavior from Mainstream Mafia II I would have been swayed to elect you.
Allow me to run through some of the elements of my platform before I’m forced to lockscum you for trying to crash the market, gamma

(1) I will be a democratic market leader, and one of the things I increase the odds of appearing will be democratically chosen by the PL
(2) maximum memery — I will select among the others for maximum levels of memeing during the game for the fun of all involved
(3) sound financial advice to all voters (freebie: get your money into PenguinPower Inc. they’re hot right now)
(4) benevolence and wisdom will be dispensed throughout the thread
Do you swear to use your own judgement exclusively when deliberating on market options? I don’t want a leader who can be coerced into dangerous trade deals.

Listen sir, I mean what I say when I tell you that I’ll say whatever I have to to secure your vote, because that’s the kind of politician I am! So if that’s what you need to hear me say, then say it

I will

I don't know if I really agree with Datisi's take on Mena (Mostly because I don't get it yet) but I like the stance regardless.

Now, why did you tunnel on him so early? Why not sit back, scum hunt, and let him show you who his partners are?

I genuinely have no clue what that means but alrighty

The longer i wait, potentially more ~thread control~ he gets. And I am not very good at convincing people. I'd rather start early.

Plus, I was curious on his reactions to all this.

Why do you/does anyone need strong reads to be an auction owner

I’ll talk to you when you stop tunnelling me?

gobbledygook · Post Post #166 (ISO) » Wed Apr 01, 2020 4:16 pm

I think there are very real strategies auction owner could have. Memetic fun is one such strategy!

Thread control isn't a thing though. I thought it was when I was newer too. People synergize with their townreads, thus creating thread control. Getting the best out of people and being humble that you can be wrong is thread control. With that, you can protect your town core for awhile.

Titus v Alisae is an excellent primer. I was a town treestump. I expected my reads to be wrong because I expected people to fuck with me. So I deliberately picked masons with the opposite skillset and built town outward from them.

Menalque · Post Post #168 (ISO) » Wed Apr 01, 2020 4:18 pm

Also I don’t really wanna start giving reads yet because I think something that has semi-consistently fucked me is trying to get my reads while multiple slots are inactive and then scumreading town bc they were there and I was looking for X scum

Being the most effective shopkeeper owner involves identifying town and placing the best items for them in the market. People play differently.

gobbledygook · Post Post #170 (ISO) » Wed Apr 01, 2020 4:19 pm

I think it’s very important that we come to a consensus town read auction owner before deadline that way auction owner can adjust their bid if necessary. Like auction owner going kablooey on the watcher shot is asking for a bad time

I can support this.

Elect: Menalque

This was pretty much set in stone when Titus made her choice but I wanted to attempt to exercise a bit of leverage.

I mean those strategies become significantly less useful if outed and scum can plan around them

If people don’t think I’m town or think I’ll scumside the pool, don’t elect me

If you think I’ll pick fun options that will be reasonably townsided, do

So different townies would theoretically receive different items in your world as auction owner? I hadn’t thought of that
