Secret Hitler 2 (Game over!)

[Umlaut]

President Not_Mafia has (expired on 2017-06-29 19:33:54) remaining to nominate a chancellor. If he fails to nominate anyone, his term will expire and the round will end.

[Not_Mafia]

I intend to nominate random right now

[Umlaut]

Reminder: To nominate someone, please post

Nominate: (name)

in boldface.

(I'm not sure whether the last post was intended as a nomination or not, so I'm not considering it as one.)

[gigabyteTroubadour]

I would vote

ja

for that.

@pabs: I disagree with your assertion that Shrek was going somewhere productive. Where he went was that the ideal gameplay is "Waiting until the first policy gets passed/neined and then seeing how people react to it.", or "at least until voting on the proposed government begins.". This is hardly productive. It is a position against conversation, and one that is worse for liberals. I want Shrek to explain what his objection to conversation is (as I consider it anti-lib), which is why I keep going back to that point. Also, I'm not redirecting the entire flow to you. We can have more than one line of interaction going on at the same time. As for you saying that I am not giving much direction, I have said and shown that I am in favour of conversation and reads before the nomination and voting. The only reason my line of questioning seems empty is because of posts like Shrek's 70 and 73.

Also, @Yoshi: First time for me, too.

I believe games are not multiple parallel conversations but branches of convergence and divergence of parallel movement. So flow does matter to me.

I've played before.

After some consideration, I'm extending the nomination deadline to 72 hours for this and all future rounds. All previous posts will be updated to reflect this.

I am going to vote no because I would not be chancellor

[Not_Mafia]

That's selfish, Hitler was selfish

[Not_Mafia]

nominate randommidget

[RadiantCowbells]

nein

[Umlaut]

randomidget is nominated for chancellor. Voting begins.

All players, including the president and candidate, have (expired on 2017-06-30 01:56:00) to vote

ja!

or

nein

for this government. Abstention will be interpreted as assent.

Ballots should be submitted privately to the moderator via PM; votes in thread will not be counted. The floor remains open for discussion.

(If you already submitted a vote following Not_Mafia's nomination, it will be counted.)

[gigabyteTroubadour]

submitted "ja"

[mallowgeno]

Nein

[Randomnamechange]

i will be a good chancellor tho

[BigYoshiFan]

I honestly don't see a legitimate reason for anyone to nein the first election.

[Mitillos]

@Yoshi: They can if:
1) they have a really good reason to suspect that random or N_M is fascist and will be likely to pass a fascist policy, or
2) If they do it as a matter of course, every time, as mallow said he does. I generally do this too in rl Resistance games, but I'd rather not do it here if there'd be two of us like that.

Why does it matter if there are 2 of us here that do it?

[Mitillos]

@mallow: It doesn't in this case. It would only matter if there were multiple games to be played, because then it would be possible for Fascists to use that information. I once had one Resistance game where that happened.
Call it a quirk of mine.

randomidget has been elected chancellor. The legislative session begins.

President Not_Mafia will receive a PM with the top three policies drawn from the deck; he will tell me which to discard, and the other two will be passed to Chancellor randomidget. randomidget will choose another to discard, and the remaining policy will be passed.

The president has (expired on 2017-07-02 02:09:03) to make his selection; otherwise a policy will be discarded at random.

The president and chancellor are incommunicado at this time. All others may speak freely.

[gigabyteTroubadour]

the jas have it

[Umlaut]

I am implementing a prod rule effective now. Players will incur a prod after 72 hours of inactivity; players who do not post in the 24 hours following a prod will be replaced; players who incur three prods will be replaced. Elected officials will have their prod timers paused during legislative session.

[ThinkBig]

RC is either Hitler or fascist.

[BigYoshiFan]

RC is either Hitler or fascist.

I was somewhat leaning there because of the nein, but you seem much more confident. Why?

[gigabyteTroubadour]
