Micro 179 - Mainstream Mini Mafia III [CULT WIN AGAIN]

Governor has the ability to stop a lynch in progress by either sending a PM to the mod or posting publicly. In this game, we elect that person on Day Zero, and they can use the power once during the game.

This is a semi-common ability which, I believe, is described as falling within the Normal ruleset.

Edit: Governor has the ability to stop a lynch in progress by either sending a PM to the mod or posting publicly*

*Depending on the wording of the role PM/Mod's whim. Usually the latter. It is unknown which we'll be using, but given that the Governor will be publicly known and the use of their power will be immediately obvious, the distinction is moot.

How do you know this?

Who · Post Post #28 (ISO) » Sat May 18, 2013 5:46 pm

I don't see why any townie would not want to be governor. Governor can only prevent a lynch, the way this setup is we basically have to lynch correctly day 1, thus the only purpose a governor would serve would be to prevent the cult leader from quickhammering. Thus, any townie should be happy to be the governor, I don't see why they wouldn't.

The Cult Leader would be even more eager for it. Hence my suspicion of your zeal for it.

Well, someone researched. I have reason to believe you are overzealous.

Who · Post Post #31 (ISO) » Sat May 18, 2013 5:50 pm

Given how the governor cannot self-protect, all the cult leader gets out of it is the ability to quickhammer.

I have several years playing on this forum, as I have indicated both in the sign up thread and earlier in this game. The only things I've done so far that weren't off the top of my head were finding the links to educate you.

@Who Are you serious? Really serious? Winning the Governor election in a game like this would practically be an immediate win, as quick hammering day one would be very easy.

Who · Post Post #33 (ISO) » Sat May 18, 2013 5:57 pm

Provided we are careful not to get people to L-1, which we should be anyway, it shouldn't matter.

Who · Post Post #34 (ISO) » Sat May 18, 2013 6:02 pm

Also, the better it is for the cult leader, the more any townie would want it, given how they are the only townie they know to be town.

Hey hello I'm here
My gut says that TheIrishPope shouldn't be governor.
Who I'm less so worried about.
Holliday I'm feeling good about.
ArcAngel I dunno.
Shall we move on to Night 0, or are there objections?
Doc as Governor?

Candillan · Post Post #36 (ISO) » Sat May 18, 2013 8:30 pm

Oh wait, you just said you don't want the ability, whoops. >_>

TheIrishPope · Post Post #37 (ISO) » Sun May 19, 2013 8:48 am

This is quite interesting, Candillan. So are you saying you want to be Governor?

Candillan · Post Post #38 (ISO) » Sun May 19, 2013 11:36 am

I mean sure, I'm fine with it, but only if you guys honestly see me as being town.

TheIrishPope · Post Post #39 (ISO) » Sun May 19, 2013 11:41 am

So are you saying you

aren't

town?

Candillan · Post Post #40 (ISO) » Sun May 19, 2013 1:47 pm

I am town.

TheIrishPope · Post Post #41 (ISO) » Sun May 19, 2013 1:54 pm

How would you react if I said I was town?
How would you react if I said I was scum?
How would you react if I said Doc is scum?

Candillan · Post Post #42 (ISO) » Sun May 19, 2013 2:13 pm

I wouldn't be surprised for anything but the second.
What do you think of Who?

TheIrishPope · Post Post #43 (ISO) » Sun May 19, 2013 3:44 pm

I can never really tell with Who. It's WIFOM this, WIFOM that, I'm leading to believe his "meh" attitude is hiding something. Instinct, so I'm not 100% sure.
I should be Governor.
I really don't see why it's bad that cult leader has this ability, because everyone would tell him to stop the lynch. If he doesn't, then you know he is scum/cult leader.

Candillan · Post Post #44 (ISO) » Sun May 19, 2013 4:38 pm

It's almost as if you're claiming Cult Leader.

Also, if we mislynch, that's pretty much an instant win for the Cult.
Also, I haven't seen much of a "meh" attitude with Who in this game so far. What are you talking about?
What are your reads on the other three of us?

TheIrishPope · Post Post #45 (ISO) » Sun May 19, 2013 4:46 pm

Who seems uninterested in my eyes, only talking about Governor ability and not really looking into the people and their intentions.
Doc startled me with the "TIP is useless" thing, but he's null to me.
ArcAngel voting without explanation or anything gives me a weak scum read.
Candillan is null.

Candillan · Post Post #46 (ISO) » Sun May 19, 2013 5:14 pm

So basically, we're all null with a weak scumread on ArcAngel (who has only posted once)?
Seems kinda odd to me. How are none of us scummy or townie?

TheIrishPope · Post Post #47 (ISO) » Sun May 19, 2013 5:16 pm

It's easier to say the lurker is scum at this stage.
With only 1 page of serious discussion I can't tell who is scum or town.
I am interested in your reads as well.

Candillan · Post Post #48 (ISO) » Sun May 19, 2013 5:43 pm

I already stated my reads.

Who I'm less so worried about. a.k.a. Null, but I still feel something odd from that slot.
Holliday I'm feeling good about. a.k.a. He's townie.
ArcAngel I dunno. a.k.a. She's null.

TheIrishPope · Post Post #49 (ISO) » Sun May 19, 2013 5:48 pm

You never explained why.
That is scummy.
