It would be nice to be sherrif, but only because I probably have the most boring villager role out there.

Okay I just reread the rules. If I understand the rules correctly (which I already misunderstood once), then villagers only vote to lynch someone who is currently in jail and cannot vote to put someone in jail, correct? If this is the case, then we need a sheriff who is going to listen to popular opinion when deciding who to put into jail and release from jail. |

I'm a little concerned about having Chief in the role of Sheriff. Not so much out of concern of him being evil - don't feel that way at the moment - but because of his usual schedule.
My preference would be to have the Sheriff be someone who is more available to participate in the discussion. The Sheriff is going to have the ability to make life and death decisions - I don't want them to auto-execute or auto-jail. I think it is considerably more difficult for the Sheriff to have to catch up on 200+ posts each night in order to make good decisions. I would prefer to have someone who is around to react to breaking information to provide me with the opportunity to interact with them. The schedule is a contributing factor for me not pushing for the role - work has the potential to be pretty dicey. I don't really want to put the town in a position where I won't be able to make the best decisions. I know CR has actively said he doesn't want the role. But Barkeep has now voted for him and others have suggested voting for people who are not campaigning for the job. |

Hmm, while I appreciate the vote of confidence, I will once again state my desire not to be the sheirff. I don't believe my role, which I would not choose to reveal at this time, is conducive to being sheriff, although I don't believe there is a restriction against it in the rules. Were the townfolk to vote me sheriff, I suppose I would perform the role as best as I could and to defeat the cowboys, but if given the option (not apparent in the rules), I would probably turn the office down. Aside from my role, I also have other information about myself that makes me believe I am not suitable for the job.

I tend to agree with this, as my schedule is going to be an issue on some days (I believe I will be working both jobs Tue and Wed this week, which means I am on very early and very late only). On the other days, I will not be available for much discussion in the day time, but I will return home from work to read discussion, get a vote in and participate in the discussions in and around the deadline and at night. That said, if people weren't too concerned about the sheriff's participation in discussions, but more about the choices he would make, I would be available to read through all discussions and make night actions as appropriate. My schedule won't inhibit me there.

If you are elected, you are elected. Doesn't mean you have to do any of the sheriff duties however if you so choose. Not sure though if the fine people of Tombstone would appreciate their Sheriff taking a vacation the first day on the job though! |

So LSG and Cronin are campaigning for sheriff.
Anyone else throwing their proverbial hat into the ring? This simple townperson would like to be an informed voter, so I'll be holding off backing a particular candidate for now. |

I don't believe you can. I'm just saying if I were voted into the office, I may seriously consider turning it down if that is an option. If it is not, though, I would perform the office to the fullest of my abilities.

In fact, going on what Barkeep was saying about the Sheriff having protection, this next move makes the most sense to me, if he does indeed have seer abilities.
ELECT BARKEEP This is the only way I can think to give him nightly protection without knowing more about people's roles or the hidden rules/night actions.

Oh yeah,
If Karma means anything, then I probably owe LSG a vote for sheriff 'cause I screwed up and got her killed as a rookie. |

Chief may in fact be on to something. He would still be susceptible to showdowns, but killing a key town's person sounds like the fast track to a cowboy lynching.

ELECT st. cronin
Regardless of who gets elected sheriff, I would like the see Fouts jailed, then lynched. This is based solely on 1 word in his post. I know it may seem silly, but we have to start some where. |

Definitely interested in hearing about the one word.
I found it interesting that both LSG and Fouts claim to have very boring jobs. But I didn't take it to be a jailing offense at this point. |

checking in, so far I'm not sure what to make of the role reveals people have made so far. I am gonna keep to myself for the time being. As for the sherif role I think we are pretty much taking a crapshoot at this point. I think one thing we need to make sure of is that we narrow it down to a few candidates because this is where we are going to start basing out voting patterns off of. For now
VOTE LSG I think if we stick to one main candidate it would make it much harder for the cowboys to try and get their own person elected and if LSG is a cowboy we look at the patterns. |

No. It was the 'I'. Only a cowboy would capitalize the 'I'! All kidding asside, I know Alan T said he gave each person a different PM to avoid any CoT being built from PMs, but that can only go so far, IMO. Fouts referred to himself as a 'Townsperson'. Knowing that I'm not a cowboy, I was told I was something other than a 'Townsperson'. There you go. |

Sure it is. Like I said, I was just starting some where. Here's something else... I don't like Barkeep's big push for role reveals. He may in fact be the bartender, but that doesn't mean he's a good guy. I think is he a cowboy trying to set the rest of us up. I also worry that those 2 votes for him are cowboys as well. I know the first couple of days are a crapshoot, but it is better to apply some logic and get lucky than to just blindly pick. I think we should avoid electing Barkeep, Chief Rum, or Racer as sheriff for the time being. |

Well, if your going to go down the road of not wanting me as sheriff, I fully support you there. As for your logic getting there, though, I'm not a friend of cowboys, I assure you. And I don't get a bad vibe from Barkeep at all. If he's a cowboy, he has played it very well to this point. Racer hasn't said much beyond his vote, so I can't really comment on him.

Nope, I would say you're a too truthful, rashfully brave townsperson, with courage fueled and vision blurred by alcohol.

IMO barkeep is way to smart of a player to try and pull day one shenanagins. The bottom line is that if the bartender role=seer and barkeep is lying then the real seer will eventually come out and barkeep will be exposed. In these games the seer role is usually a 1-1 trade but it is usally the seer outing a wolf, not a wolf forcing the seer to out themselves.
Untill someone disputes barkeeps claim I say he is on the level. |

There is nothing in the rules about roles being inherently good or bad. He could be telling the truth about his role, and still be a cowboy. Also, he didn't claim to be the seer - we are just guessing what his 'role' might allow him to do. |

Wow, lots going on early. Just checking in, don't believe I have much of a role but I'm going to hang on to it for now while I get a sense of what's going on.
As for sheriff, I believe I'll wait and see there also. I'm not sure how I feel about those who campaign for it. I guess to sum up, I'm here but have nothin'

I am pretty sure Chief Rum was applying logic to his vote for Barkeep as sheriff. When I read the role descriptions I also thought the role of the bartender could very well be the seer as did Chief Rum. That is the reason why I voted for Barkeep. Also, there have been quite a few people so far that have said their vote has been "random". While I'm not sure I agree with Barkeep's push to reveal roles, I don't think that indicates he is a Cowboy. I promise you that I am no cowboy. |
