heroicjanitor Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Voting for a random as president is a bit risky imo, we already have a president who, if assigned randomly, is likely to be good. Why would rolling the dice again help? We can wait for the first write-up and see if the president does anything in it. I've looked up "president" on the wiki and the only competent one became the leader of a cult... :p [end dayphase]
jayseven Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 You're very brave playing this game without watching the show. There's one main president through the show - Laura Roslin. But seeing as we can elect a new president each phase (roughly), we may as well just disregard that element of that character.
Cube Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Plus a few other characters have been president, with good or bad results.
heroicjanitor Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Laura wasn't elected though, so she isn't president Adar failed so hard Zarek... I don't know what to make of him since he is in prison so much and is executed, might be a Mandela figure. Baltar is a brilliant scientist but goes on to lead a cult Richard Adar is a "moron" according to Adama... They are all first impressions though and I'd probably need to see the series first.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 I know absolutely NOTHING about Battlestar Galactica, but I know this game is gonna be pretty awesome! [vote lynch: nobody]
Ellmeister Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 So if we are one of those characters we should try to be president you think?
Cube Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 So if we are one of those characters we should try to be president you think? There's also Lee Adama and Romo Lampkin, both of which were pretty good as president.
Zell Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 [end dayphase] Best of luck to current incumbent president.
Paj! Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Laura Roslin is the best president evar. I kinda wanna vote someone president, but then again, I'm over it. [end dayphase] Ugh. [end dayphase]
Diageo Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 So I finally read everything. Seems you misspelt "rule" Sméagol, wrote "rure" up there in the first post. Anyway, as I see it, it appears that even if we end the dayphase prematurely, every day is on a set schedule that starts at 23:00, so we are effectively just taking away our ability to speak in the thread. Additionally, "[end dayphase]" needs to be anonymous, which is unlikely to happen. I see voting "No lynch" just as pointless as the day will end at 23:00 every time anyway. About the president, I think we should vote for one, for the sole reason that we would know who it is. Choosing again won't change the chances of getting a mafia, chances are still the same, if randomised. Used a random number generator, and wouldn't you know it "2" came up. So [vote president: Cube].
heroicjanitor Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 He has posted this less than 24 hours ago, so voting to end the day phase will be effective. Since Sméagol made the decision for who is president I think he probably gave it to a leader type figure, and maybe different people have different uses for it.
Diageo Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 All 17 players will be online to end the dayphase will they?
heroicjanitor Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 No harm in leaving it there just in case. You lack faith :p
Paj! Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 This no picture rule is killing me. So many choice images to post of sexy bytches taking names.
Jonnas Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 anonymous Wrong word, man. @Herojan: Are you saying that this Laura wasn't elected/was the first one? Hmm.... Is she what you would call "good"? Because if it is her, then the starting president could easily be good (Or evil if she's evil )
heroicjanitor Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 She serves as the Secretary of Education at the time of the Cylon attack and later serves twice as President of the Twelve Colonies despite never being elected to office.
Diageo Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Look at you pretending you know your stuff. :p
heroicjanitor Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 My knowledge of the show has increased to knowing about my character, some of the presidents and that (according to my friend) it had the worst ending of any show ever. Stupidest makes-no-sense twist ever too.
The Peeps Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 I know nothing My assumption is that Sméagol would not put the mafia in a position of power like the presidency from the start of the game so it's less risky to keep the current president.
heroicjanitor Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 Yeah I say we leae the presidency. I'm not going to follow someone else at this stage, I have no one in my trusted list yet.
Diageo Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 An enemy you know is better than an enemy you don't. Anyway, I'm off to get pissed.
jayseven Posted December 15, 2010 Posted December 15, 2010 TBH i'd rather end the day early than have the current situation -- ooh ooh new posts in the BSG mafia thread!!! Oh, it's just a page of nothing whatsoever.
