Me.
Especially if you think it's no big deal anyway and you're ho-hum about it.

If by "safest" you mean "lamest," yes those are safe votes. You can't possibly be both anyway so that's pretty silly.

I see nothing in the setup that disallows being both. I'll gladly be emperor.

Why are you being so critical about selfvoting for Vice? I mean you did the same thing, why?

I just kind of assumed.

Mod: Can the Vice Chancellor and the Supreme Chancellor be the same person at the same time?

I'm not critical about self voting for Vice. I'm critical about pooh-poohing the importance of Vice and

then

self voting.

No, they must be different players.

Please note the update to Supreme Chancellor, as I did not clarify the process enough:

Supreme Chancellor

: The Supreme Chancellor is largely a figurehead for the Senate. He may cast tiebreaker votes if there is a tie during a motion. He also cannot be the target of a motion. He is elected during the first election phase and remains in power for the rest of the game, unless a

Vote of No Confidence

is called and successfully completed during the

Open Debate

phase. This removal of power requires majority+1 to complete, if possible. A new election for Supreme Chancellor will be triggered and have a 48 hour window for voting. If no decision is reached by the time deadline hits, it will be randomized.

Vice Chancellor: TellTaleHeart

I like her engagement so far. If it's a social role, I want someone who is going to ask questions and engage with people. She's definitely the biggest at that so far.

Supreme Chancellor doesn't really bother me, especailly because no confidence is just simple majority. Also because casting tie break votes is information in and of itself.

Modeckoner: Will we see who has voted for which motion after the voting phase when votes are revealed?

Yes. Motion results will be revealed in full. Voting will just be simultaneous/private.

Oman · Post Post #36 (ISO) » Thu May 28, 2015 7:41 pm

You know what else is simultaneous and private?

That clearly was an RVS vote...

Count Dooku · Post Post #39 (ISO) » Thu May 28, 2015 10:21 pm

Btw, I didn't vote for myself, because I don't think I will make a good VC (or SC). So I decided to vote for someone else, wihtout any specific reason.

Voting for myself is as good of a place holder as anyone else.

If someone else wants to support me for Supreme, I'll vote them for Vice....

Initially voting for yourself was the "safest". Now voting for yourself is only "as good as" voting for anyone else?

Sure, but you asked the wrong question. He didn't say that the VC is unimportant, he said that the votes for VC are unimportant.

@Bulge: Care to expand on that? I mean VC is the one who targets who to lynch each turn, that seems way more important than a silly semi-lynchproof GC.

Axxle · Post Post #46 (ISO) » Fri May 29, 2015 6:45 am

TTH, at this point (early as it is), who would you vote as VC if it couldn't be yourself and why?

Semantics, semantics, semantics.
If he really thinks it's unimportant, vote for me and be done with it instead of talking in circles.
(Just in case you haven't figured it out, I'm not criticizing as much as I'm strong arming people into voting for me.)

No one, I'd let the clock run out and the RNG pick.

I don't understand you.
Since everyone is "equally bad" according to you (because a randomized pick is either worse than a normal pick, when you choose someone, or the same, when every possibility is equally bad (or good)), why don't you roll a dice for example? What's the point of not voting?
There's only one benefit: people won't "accuse" you for voting for a player. You don't have to take "responsibility" for your vote...

I will return to this question when the answer comes out.
