Move Mayor Election to D0?

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: I think this has been discussed before and discarded, but maybe we should reconsider moving the mayor election to D0 (or add another election on D0? Could prevent so much randoming during N1.

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: <@242983689921888256> <@544125116640919557> there are definitely downsides to the move, but upsides too. thoughts?

phantomtomic: D0 bartender election 😎

huckhuck55: IMO. I think that would be good for convo and activity. But also bad for some reasons too.

Good

• Would mean that scum have something to go off of other than random kills
• quick time chatting in game (not so much fluff on day 0)

Cons

• day 0 would have to start at the same time days normally start during the game (no enough time to decide would be unfortunate)
• in the irl game, there is only discussion lightly before the night, then after the kill things get more heated
• d0 is normally the time to just goof off and get a feel for the crowd. Which is nice. Planning phase.

shapechange: ideally there would be a less significant (but still discussion-generating) election D0

[CrowdfordBot]

huckhuck55: Also, d1 mayor at least gives some time to figure out good players, but with d0 it might feel even more random. Idk. That’s just my thoughts.

Could also have game variations where some games it’s d0 and some games it’s d1?

[CrowdfordBot]

captainluffy: Once per game election that doesn't get repeated? Otherwise reporter is much harder to get

[CrowdfordBot]

phantomtomic: Yeah but if the election is mayor-like town would definitely randomize mayor because if there's any claims very likely it's a free kill for wolves, giving very little reads

But if the election is fairly insignificant there's not really many reads for wolves to start with anyways (unless the elected role is a new mechanic) since who gets elected would probably be jokingly done

[CrowdfordBot]

huckhuck55: Could have a new elected role for d0 that doesn’t repeat after d0?

[CrowdfordBot]

captainluffy: That's what I said lol

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: yeah, it needs to be significant enough that teams want to have it, but not significant enough that not getting it D0 would fuck up a game

[CrowdfordBot]

huckhuck55: Something that’s very subtle but still worth getting.

[CrowdfordBot]

huckhuck55:

That's what I said lol

Yeah, I said it. Duh.

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: make fletcher a D0 electable role 🙂

[CrowdfordBot]

captainluffy: Maybe a roleblock role with 1 time use power

[CrowdfordBot]

huckhuck55: Elect someone to become a vanilla role. Wolf power becomes vanilla wolf Town power becomes citizen.

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange:

Maybe a roleblock role with 1 time use power

that pretty much guarantees they get killed N1 though

[CrowdfordBot]

huckhuck55: (Not for d0 election, just a fun thought)

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: they need to WANT it but not want to KILL it (super badly)

[CrowdfordBot]

huckhuck55: Like a debuff election.

[CrowdfordBot]

huckhuck55: It would pair with a lynch, but like, less severe.

[CrowdfordBot]

captainluffy: It's hard to think of something useful but also somewhat useless

[CrowdfordBot]

captainluffy: Unless it's powers run out after n1 so that there's not much motive to kill it

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: yeah

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: or if it's something that applies a power, rather than has a power applied to it (like fletcher)

[CrowdfordBot]

huckhuck55: What if. Elected role of d0 gets a randomized power by day… uhh, 2?

[CrowdfordBot]

huckhuck55: Gives scum or whoever a chance to kill them before that happens.

[CrowdfordBot]

huckhuck55: It could be strong, but it is prolonged.

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: the idea is that they DON'T want to kill them

[CrowdfordBot]

phantomtomic:

or if it's something that applies a power, rather than has a power applied to it (like fletcher)

yea that'd work

[CrowdfordBot]

phantomtomic: but how much discussion would there really be, unsure if people would actually claim for this

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange: depends on the power i imagine

[CrowdfordBot]

captainluffy: What if it makes them immune to all visits in n1, like self defensive role

[CrowdfordBot]

huckhuck55: That’s pretty non invasive.

[CrowdfordBot]

huckhuck55: I like that one.

[CrowdfordBot]

huckhuck55: But also… doubt many people would fight much for it. But I guess that’s the point? Idk lol

[CrowdfordBot]

captainluffy: Not enticing enough?

[CrowdfordBot]

huckhuck55: The power to pick a player that can’t be elected?

[CrowdfordBot]

huckhuck55: Naw, nm, that’s dumb.

[CrowdfordBot]

venomousbirds: i honestly dont think it gives scum more to go off of, seeing as most of the time theres random elections because nobody knows anything

[CrowdfordBot]

venomousbirds: instead of wolves random-ing a target, the whole of town square randoms a target for wolves by electing a random person mayor

[CrowdfordBot]

venomousbirds: yes theres a chance mayor wont die

[CrowdfordBot]

venomousbirds: but if mayor doesnt need to be killed by wolves, wolves will likely still random their kill

[CrowdfordBot]

e_thsn: Gives more D0 discussion rather than "shitposting"

[CrowdfordBot]

venomousbirds: d0 isnt a required day

[CrowdfordBot]

venomousbirds: so it'd create inconsistency

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange:

instead of wolves random-ing a target, the whole of town square randoms a target for wolves by electing a random person mayor

that's why we're trying to think of something that's not mayor that could be a D0 election - something that people actually want, and don't want other teams to have, so they won't randomise it

[CrowdfordBot]

venomousbirds: didnt know that was being done in this thread

[CrowdfordBot]

venomousbirds: but yea

[CrowdfordBot]

venomousbirds: mayor d0 makes no sense but another electable sounds interesting

[CrowdfordBot]

shapechange:

didnt know that was being done in this thread

it's pretty much all we've been discussing here
