Secret Hitler - D7: July 1932

[Carlington]

You'll have to pardon me, but I don't follow the logic. We have no information about a certain player, so we should...put them in a situation where we are most likely to gain no information? Would one or both of you be able to explain your logic? Because as it stands, I think the ideal plan is "If any player, as Chancellor, passes a fascist policy, do not nominate them as Chancellor again unless it is impossible not to do so." And we can even give this rule weight on a case-by-case basis, using the probability that the player was in a situation where they had no choice but to pass a fascist policy.

[Lawrencelot]

I don't know about Gopher, but my own logic is: Gopher is slightly more likely to be liberal than mpolo, and this round the outcome is certain, so we want to choose Gopher as chancellor next turn when he might have a liberal policy to choose from. If we choose him this round he can't be chosen next round.

[Gopher of Pern]

That was essentially my logic. We only need one more liberal policy to win. But there will be a 0% chance of drawing one this turn, and a 2 / 13 chance the following turn (for one draw, can't be bothered figuring out one all three). At the moment I do not trust mpolo, as we have been going so well, and they have not had to do anything.

In fact, the presidency is probably the most important role here. If a fascist can get their hands on the presidency and discard a liberal policy without people knowing, we're in trouble.

[Carlington]

Fair enough, I'm swayed.

Nominate: mpolo

[RoadieRich]

mpolo has been nominated as chancellor. Votes please.

I will be travelling all day Friday and visiting family over the next couple of weeks. However, I expect to be online at least once a day.

In case my non-bolded vote didn't count and that's what's holding us up:

Vote: Ja

[RoadieRich]

mpolo was successfully voted as chancellor, with five Ja votes.

[RoadieRich]

I'm extremely sorry for the delay, I was ill, then extremely busy, and this game slipped my mind.

[moody7277]

I'm extremely sorry for the delay, I was ill, then extremely busy, and this game slipped my mind.

We still doing this?

[RoadieRich]

The parliament has returned from closed session, and has elected to enact a Fascist Policy.

The Presidency is passed to mpolo. Carlington is ineligible for nomination as Chancellor. There are four liberal and one fascist policies enacted.

It is now day 6.

Sorry guys.

[mpolo]

I was given two fascist policies to choose from, so obviously had to take a fascist policy (actually, I was told not to bother sending a choice PM). Any suggestions as to a good Chancellor?

[Carlington]

I was given two three fascist policies to choose from, so obviously had to take a fascist policy (actually, I was told not to bother sending a choice PM). Any suggestions as to a good Chancellor?

[mpolo]

I'm not really seeing anything that would tend to eliminate any of the players at this point as being certainly fascist. Should I just nominate someone like Gopher of Pern who has been successful in the past?

[Gopher of Pern]

It might work. Still a low chance of a single liberal policy though.

[mpolo]

Well, this is dragging...

Nominate: GopherofPern

[Lawrencelot]

Sure why not.

Absentions
mpolo

GoP is hereby elected chancellor.

[RoadieRich]

The parliament has returned from closed session, and has enacted a Fascist Policy.

The Presidency has advanced to Lawrencelot. Mpolo and GoP are ineligible for nomination as chancellor. There are four liberal and two fascist policies enacted.

[Lawrencelot]

So what did the chancellor and president get?

[mpolo]

As seemed likely from the outset, I got three fascist policies, so didn't get a choice - again.

[Gopher of Pern]

I got 2 fascist policies.

Next fascist we get an assasination, don't we?

I reckon moody or carlington as chancellor.
