Even if he is usually like that, I don't feel comfortable choosing him as Simon

Well we're agreed on that one.
Not really sure what to make of Swamped wanting to be Simon because she's curious. It's not the greatest reason to garner support.
I mean it's likely it wont be game breaking, but obviously it'll have some effect.
Swamped didnt really waste any time there, Chug. She's only made that one post.
Everyone should have at least one candidate for Simon that isn't themselves, because voting for yourself doesn't contribute to your numbers.
Depending on what the power was for Simon, I would probably hold out on using it for a day or so just to get a better feel of the game. No sense in doing anything rash and getting a town person killed, but I would have to act somewhat fast because being Simon would probably make me a NK target
And maybe it's also because I think I know Verelios and Chugger the best. Well Faddy, but he is already Simon it seems.
Pedro About this Simon business: How long will the chosen player stay in that role? Until they are killed? And what happens when Simon is killed? Will there be a new vote or will the player in second place on D1 be chosen or will there be no Simon at all after that?
Still unsure. My meta candidates were Cabot, Faddy, Vere or Swamped but Faddy isn't helping so he is out now and Swamped has done little.
This is kinda a waste. If you have a public role that can affect the game you should use it. Why save it?
To be honest Faddy posting like that just makes me think he is scum and trying to switch up his game because he was lynched the last two times he was scum.
You think he can only post in colors? Sounds like a strange restriction to me and one that wouldn't be very fun to have.
It's not, but I don't think we need a thread full of people trying to win people over I guess. Like I get if someone wants it but doesn't really feel like wasting time trying to get people to vote for them because the odds aren't exactly great.
I mean, isn't that just what we need? What else are we supposed to be doing? A person that tries to get votes is at least active and trying to get people to vote for you would seem to be the point of this D1. There's not much else to do other than try to get people to vote for you and try to get an understanding of who else you can trust to vote for. Honestly, I find it weird how some people are kind of happy to sit back and let it... not be them for now and are acting super unbothered about the enterprise without even trying. Like, if as far as you know, you're the only person you can trust in this game to help Town win, wouldn't you be a little more proactive about it? but then again, idk if I'm really one to talk about that
like... there's more way to garner votes than just actively stating 'please vote for me' at the end of every post, an active town is a happy town etc etc etc
Faddy's behaviour straddles this weird line between being kind of super striking but also turning himself into a complete non-factor in this vote, meaning that he becomes just as easy to gloss over as most anyone else
Actually, if I get the role, I'll just be up front about what it does and we can work out what to do with it together as one big Simon family*
*I may or may not actually listen to the rest of you.
I dunno, not convinced by NF myself. His answers seem canned lol. Yes, we're obliged to say "you're the only person you can trust". And I guess we're obliged to comment on Faddy's weirdness. I just don't see much else in his posts, just what I see as "obligatory" comments.
my main issue with going all-in with TheChuggernaut is that maybe he'll be a bit too straightforward and open to outside voices with the power, I want someone who's a bit more weird and self-directed with it because the last thing I want is scum being able to storyboard things from a Simon whose thought process is easy to understand and sway, if that makes sense
honestly I'm super inclined to vote for Swamped because I'm strange and somebody being distrustful of me automatically makes me feel better than someone trusting me lol

did you read his posts?
He clearly explained the purpose of this day phase and what should be the expected play. I don't see someone loosely saying things to meet obligations, theres some original genuine thoughts though.
I do like your point about scum not actively asking for the power on D1, though that's mostly because it incriminates yourself.

I mean, at the end of the day, I'm going to do what I want to do. I will heavily consider what town has to say, but if I think town is making a mistake, I'm not going to do what they want. If I become God Simon I will try to be as transparent as possible about it, and if I decide to go off the beaten path, then I'll
explain why.

It depends on what the role actually is and how things go. I am open to using the role as soon as I can.
I don't like all this indecision. I want someone who is not afraid to use his role.

see, you're definitely very agreeable and reasonable... but I'm not super sure if I want that
like, why even heavily consider what Town says, it's not like Town ever speaks with one voice anyway, and it's not like Town always knows what's best. it just kind of shifts responsibility for decision-making back and makes it easy to point the finger back at the rest of us if things are going poorly. I know that you go on to state that if you think Town's making a mistake you'll do your own thing, but then it makes you difficult to get a grasp on because how are the rest of us supposed to trust what counts to you as 'making a mistake' versus 'making the right decision', you know?
I'd rather someone who I can consistently count on to do their own thing, even if they're a bit abrasive and maybe coming into conflict with the wishes of the collective, because it's easier to see where they're coming from as an individual voice
I LOVE that you want to vote for me, but this description fits SalvaPot to a tee lol.
Also, I don't exactly see you clamoring for the Simon role either :P
I was hoping he'd react to it somehow.
NF may or may not be my leading candidate.
Aside from me. I'm the best. Pick me.
How am I supposed to actually say one way or the other if I don't actually know what the role is?
It's just that this seems like a big mechanic of the game so not using it the first day just makes us harder to know how the game works. Just using the role could provide us with a lot of info about how the game is played. Also, as both town or scum could get the role, I don't think it will be all that powerful as it could break the game. I'm thinking it could be something like "Simon says that you can't change your votes" or "Simon says that there is no majority rule". Something mild that will not break the game no matter what aligment gets the role.
I'm not scumreading you for this (or any of the people that I crossed). It's just that I want something else for that role.
