(Please bump if anyone is there) Sorry I haven't participated much. I wrote a post yesterday but it wouldn't post because I'd messed the quotes up.
Hopefully we can pass the 4th Liberal policy. But let's consider the possibility Joe either conflicts me or claims FFF. This makes him a quite likely fascist (sorry Joe). Should he be disqualified from investigating our most Liberal players who IMO are ZFR and Dedo? Should the table agree the next investigation candidate rather than the investigator?
joppo: After some consideration I realize that, much as I want to see Scene enter office, maybe Joe is not a good presidential choice for liberals.
I was looking back at when he and Pooka took office (#515) it was the narrowest election 6-4. The NO votes were ZFR, Scene and me, plus GR. (GR didn't give a good reason for his vote, so I'll just ignore that for now.)
I had made it obvious that I was vote
NO. ZFR and Scene had expressed degrees of concern too. So if this government were composed of two liberals wouldn't the fascists try to pile up and shoot it down? (This assumes both ZFR and Scene are liberals which so far I think is a reasonable assumption)
So if my assumption is true, there is at least one fascist in Joe + Pooka. I already presented this hypothesis in #521, but so far I was thinking of F!Pooka and any Joe. But I'm starting to consider it is possible we had L!Pooka * + F/H!Joe . ZFR presented his theory in #667 that it is improbable that Pooka silently dropped an L despite having the chance. But Joe did not have that chance.
*
Hitler Pooka is also a possibility, tho. What do you guys think?
It also rubbed me the wrong way back when Joe expressed his suspicions of me running with theories that he himself admitted were unlikely. But I dunno, it also reminds me that Town!Joe is a bit like that so I won't say is is definitely AI.
I think there were 2 groups. Those that trusted ZFR after passing a Liberal policy and wanted to skip to him. And those that thought Pooka was a fair President. I did question some of Pooka's chat also. The votes may have been alignment specific or they may not have been. Consider that ZFR is fascist and Pooka is Liberal - ZFR doesn't want Pooka to gain credit. Then suppose Pooka is fascist and ZFR is Liberal, in turn fascists want Pooka to play. But in turn consider both are Liberal. Fascists would vote against Pooka after a Liberal ZFR suggests skipping Pooka.
Either way Joe was ZFR's choice for Chancellor. So the people who voted No for Pooka-Joe likely vote yes for ZFR-Joe. That was my intention at least. Joe has now played a Liberal policy. My perspective is different to yours as I don't have the power of investigation you had. So my POV any of Dedo, Pooka, ZFR and Joe can be fascist or liberal. I don't want to lock any of them out of power just because any can be Liberal.
My current most Liberal on chat and government would be ZFR>Dedo>Joe........>Pooka
So I lean towards Joe being Liberal and if he is or isn't.
ZFR: I don't see him having the chance of being president and dropping an L in the next deck.
maxleod: Can we at least agree that we want a fourth L policy enacted? Besides, from my POV, both Joe and Scene seem NAI so far, just vote Yes. Or No. Do what you want. Just vote so that we can advance.
Depends if you're Liberal or Fascist
