HA!

What a joke. So many people running for mayor… But the original is still the best!

The first one to throw his hat into the ring: me.
All I want to do is protect us from mafias and make sure our town isn't beaten by them. To keep us alive. I just don't see that in the other guys. all they seem to want is the power and the position and THEN work out what to do with it!

Listen guys, I DON'T have that issue. I don't care about power and position, I never have. All I want to do is be better able to use my skills to keep us safe.

Vakanai
Yes, I am going to steal.
Yes I will shoot people down.

Words are cheap Vakanai. You say you will attack the mob. But at what cost. If you use the same tactics they use, against them, you yourself become a mobster. And if you question how I will protect this town of ours let me tell you this. The town is full people, people who know what is best for themselves. The people are smart enough to govern for themselves and they are smart enough to protect themselves. The mayor is a part of the people. And being part of the people he must listen to their concerns! Who the people believe is a mob is who the mayor believes is mob!

HA!

Listen guys, I DON'T have that issue. I don't care about power and position.

As for Mr. Ocean. I find it strange that you would joke about people running for office. Perhaps the people would be better suited if they elect someone who treats the office of Mayor seriously and not as a joke. Also of course you don't care about power or position, you have both! From your lofty preach you have forgotten the position of the regular man. If you don't care about power or position then how can we trust you with either, if you don't care how do we know you can handle responsibility!

Vote for the2ndredbaron and we will all fly high!

I don't joke about the office, I joke about your campaigns. None of you take this as seriously as I do!

All I care about is protecting this town. It's THAT simple.
I'm not even interested in running negative campaigns and attacking my competitors. From looking at the way it sours YOUR words, I'm going to try keep that out of my campaign now. I'm not interested in that. It's the tactics of the mafias and those are the people who I'm wanting to protect us from!

Ozoneocean is evil. why do you think he even running for mayor? hes using slick words, truth bending and free candy to get your votes. and he kills kittens.
vote for me

ZOMG new tally~

As we are going with first come first serve this means Ozoneocean is in the lead followed by leaderofstars. (Vakanai also did a comic as a campaign so receives one bonus vote.)

I vote for ozone!

I want a mafioso as mayor. Because I voted him in he will probably kill me last (and maybe I can be a made man?). So anyne running on the platform of “I am the bad guy” will get my full support.

IN the mean time, I vote for ozone (who is probably the god father).

I voted if O3 H20 too…um…sorry…Chemistry…Ozoneocean. I have considered changing my vote because of the very good points that others have brought up. Sadly, I don't know if any of the other candidates are up to snuff in running our fictional town. Plus, Ozone is the principal of TD High…though I don't know if that will help or hinder his chances.

Edit:Question:Will the mayor know who his bodyguards are?

Mr. Ocean do you believe protecting the town is a simple matter? And for someone who is not concern with power care to explain how your an Admin, Principle, and now your trying to be mayor?

I see you choose to only quote a part of what I said, out of context. Which is the dirty trick of the politician grasping for straws.:p
And all you offer is words as well. If the majority of citizens say someone is mob, that is the one I will focus my attention on as well.
And I'll listen to the people and not take their words out of context. If the people vote for you, when you have already shown a tendency to twist a man's words around to suit your needs, then you listening to them may come to the same result as if they had said nothing at all.

A vote for the2ndredbaron is a vote to have your wings clipped!

I only used your words, nothing more. And now you try to change what you said. Don't be a flip flopper. And you say all I say is words. Both you and Mr. Ocean have laid out no plan for protection. But when I lay out a plan you try to hop on board. I have no problem with you agreeing its a good plan, but tell me, do you have any ideas of your own?

Niccea
Edit:Question:Will the mayor know who his bodyguards are?

Yes but not the pardoner~

That is a very disturbing proposition. If the mayor was also a mafia, he would be able to kill both the bodyguards and then get the pardoner…but then everyone would know that plan…hm…It would give enough reason for people to think very hard about who they vote for. I get lost in plot scenarios…sorry. Guess I can say, don't follow blindly…

Here's another reason why I should be elected pardoner:

-If ozone is part of the mafia: since he is not supporting me as pardoner, it makes it more evident that I am likely not part of the mafia as well.

-If ozone is not part of the mafia: it wouldn't even matter since even if I was part of the mafia, he would still have more power over me.


In either case, it's very unlikely that both of us would be in the mafia. Therefore, a vote for me would guarantee at least one townie in office.

I want be a vilgilante!
Since a- you don't need to get elected to do that
b- I am judgemental and willing to deal out a brutal brand of justice.

How do I get to be one of those?
Do I have to make a costume?
(Is there a Catman already?)

But when I lay out a plan you try to hop on board. I have no problem with you agreeing its a good plan, but tell me, do you have any ideas of your own?

1. You used my words out of context. I'm willing to steal/shoot the mafia in order to protect and benefit the populace. You would have me painted as someone who would do that indiscriminately. I'm not flipfloppping, I'm just stating my actual position which you keep trying to twist.
2. Really, no one mentioned your plan at first because it is the only plan and was pretty much common sense and implied. The only way to beat the mob, according to the rules, is to try and kill the mob. We are given a few clues to help us. Therefore there are two options, either we all try to solve it together and take a vote on who to kill, or decide who to kill without taking a vote. The second option is a rather bad idea, unless you happen to be both mob and mayor. No one is jumping on your plan, it's just it is the only one out of two and no one really thought it needed to be mention. Again, kind of common knowledge, it's not like it was some creative bit of imagination on your part.

Wow, that sounds meaner than I mean for it to.
Vote for Vak, cause Vak has your back (well, unless you're one of the mob, since my whole platform is kind of about killing you mobsters off one by one…)!

humorman
It's time to think logically. If ozone happens to be part of the mafia, not only would he receive extra power through votes, but the only way to kill him would to go through the body guards. With that much power, he could easily eliminate all the townies within a matter of days. Unfortunately, ozone is already in a fairly secure lead. Therefore, I announce to run for pardoner. As pardoner I would also in a high position, perfect for keeping a supposed mafia-tied mayor in check. However, you may be wondering if I might be part of the mafia as well. There is no sure -fire way of saying if I am without breaking the rules, but you have my word that I am definitely not part of the mafia. More importantly, I will have no gimmicks (no cheesy campaign pictures or mottos, no pardons reserved for people who vote for me, etc.). As long as they give me a compelling argument, everyone will be entitled to a pardon.

This is my promise to you, the public.

I agree with Humorman, This just seems fishy what with OZone's cutsie quack “vote for me”… I thought I smelled horse head on it.

I vote for SkoolMunkee cuz munkees are cute.

the2ndredbaron
Mr. Ocean do you believe protecting the town is a simple matter? And for someone who is not concern with power care to explain how your an Admin, Principle, and now your trying to be mayor?

I attain those positions precisely because I don't care about position and power!
I attained those positions because of my skills and abilities and being good at the job.

But most of all, because I wanted to do the job and do it right! Which is what I want to do as mayor.

Not as some half arsed lark and a bit of fun. As mayor I won't mess around. My ONLY concern is making sure the mafias DON'T win. SO if you ARE mafias yourself, I say don't vote for me because I will make it my goal to get rid of you and clean up corruption in this town!

I've been learning some interesting things already from my brilliant communication skills, talking to people and asking them to vote for me. I've already got some pretty clear suspicions. If elected mayor I will make very good use of that insight.

The Red Baron is being pretty pushy isn't he?

Exactly so Niccea. So Mr. I want to do it right….we see your devious mafia ways coming out.

Bad OZone….no cookies for you.


And please vote for me for pardoner.


TIA

I will personally vote and vouch for Mr. Ozone Ocean to be mayor. And quite frankly, I am shocked by the accusations aimed at him. This man, who helped lay the foundation for our very forum, who has always been there, even in our darkest hour, and now you simply accuse him of association with the mafia, simply for your own gain? Citizens of Drunkduck, you know the right choice.

AH, I thought it was martinlo_23 running and Skool was voting for him (or her)

That's true and not in a nice way. :(

That is a slanderous slur! You should be ashamed of that.

Sowing mistrust between the fine people of the town this early is not a way to keep us safe! Especially since you have no clues or evidence to go on yet, Making wild accusations like that against innocent people is a good way to help us fail :(

As mayor I'll reign in that sort of thing and we'll only go by RATIONAL decision making and careful thought, not impulse and silliness. -_-

SEA cow supports ozone OCEAN, smells fishy?
If I seem pushy that is only because I fully support a hearty mayoral race. As Mr. Ocean said in the very beginning of the race “Come on guys you aren't even trying”

Also.

Anyway, I have reason to suspect leaderofstars… I doubt his motives. I've been in communication with him and what you see of the pitch here is pretty true of leaderofstars's personality throughout I'm sorry to say.

Do as you say, not do as you do?

the2ndredbaron

I c wut u did thar. If Custard Trout was here, you could get the full meal! Sadly, he did not decide to engage in this clever little game of mafias.

the2ndredbaron
Do as you say, not do as you do?

All you seem to do is misquote people and take things out of context. You seem to have missed this form that very same paragraph:

"Especially since you have no clues or evidence to go on yet"

The entire context of what I was saying there is that I had been in extensive communication and SO had reason, not just that I did suspect.

In fact I'm STILL in communication with him and I reserve my judgement till further on in the game. That's how I roll.
-Unlike some it seems. Unfortunately. :(

——————
Sea_Cow, I thank you for your support. In supporting me, you support our town! As do all others that support me! :)

I vote for ozone, he promised to protect me specifically from the mafia while the rest of you were perishing in horrible gruesome ways.

OK so it seems that Sea_Cow and OZone are in cahoots. Gosh I hope I can keep up. Those darned mafias are clever.


But on the other hand OZone does have a consistent line…. what to do what to do?

Jeesh, see? Ozone is the only man here not trying to cause mistrust and paranoia, which, by the way, is what the mafiosos want us to feel, is it not?

ozoneocean
"Especially since you have no clues or evidence to go on yet"

I would just like to point out that I have only used what candidates have said. I have not made up anything. My only evidence, is their own words. If we can't believe what they say, how can we believe them?

Just a reminder that votes have to be PQed to me. You can also only cast one vote and the second place winner will be pardoner.

Just to let you guys know, I have to supervise both morning and afternoon at work so I won't be near a computer until the afternoon exam is over. :(

Tally before bedtime~

This is about the halfway point through the first day. I just want to remind anyone who hasn't voted yet to choose wisely in their decisions. As I have stated before, I am not part of the mafia, and there is evidence that supports it (see my previous post). The fact that I have been posting frequently shows that I am committed to helping the townies. Of course, you are free to vote to your own accord, so don't take this as a threat. Just take caution in your selections; remember, everyone in the mafia is in cahoots with each other, and with us townies left in the dark, there really isn't anyone we can trust 100%, myself included. I have, however, been honest with my statements so far, and whether you accept my honesty as truth or not is completely up to you, the voters.

Words of wisdom: don't make a vote that you're going to regret.
