I'd also like to point out that vowing to act Democratically does nothing to put a player above suspicion. Given a choice between letting an enemy become Captain and make choices that harm you or becoming Captain and making those choices yourself, the latter is still preferable.
It is worth stating that each and every one of us is no more trustworthy than the other. It is up to everyone to make their own decision, and I value and respect that.
Everyone, everyone, everyone! Are we not forgetting the joy of a Day One kime-wagon? Why do you insist on voting for other people, when I am asking you to vote for me!
Give me the yellow vote, and I will make your dreams come true!

Even yours, Robos A Go Go.
That goes without saying, I think. I'm sure my own point was obvious to most as well, but I thought it bore mentioning just in case one or two of us were perhaps being swayed one way or another. Early impressions of players can, after all, carry on until the latter parts of the game.
I think we should vote for whoever can state and best defend the choices they'd make on their first day in regards to kill/guard and seer/guard.
I'd go Guard and Seer myself and hope that players with useful skills privately message me, allowing me to Seer them on Day One and Guard them henceforth. Course, this strategy falls apart if I get voted out.

You speak the truth. It carries across games too. I have played once before on these boards I am at the disadvantage since I am largely unfamiliar with the majority of these players.
Serious questions are being raised about Crewman Turne's desire to violate the electorate.
But first;
Does Crewman Salad plan on using us to incubate his alien offspring? You be the judge.
And now, as promised, a Special Comment.
Crewman Zed is once again deliberately misleading the denizens of this ship. He is now quoting Crewman Noc turne in a completely misleading way to imply that Mr. Turne is in fact, promising rape to the crew. This cannot STAND!
The original quite, clear as day:
I say vote for the candidate who will not eye rape you.
Edited by the voices in Zed's' head to read:
(Absurdly annoying voice)
I will rape you
Mr Zed is a dangerous individual. He and his employers are lying to you, people!!! (Spittle flies everywhere)
This has become a dangerous pattern with Mr. Zed. He is quite frankly deranged. He is now airing horribly misleading and poorly edited vidoes of a "journalistic investigation" which accuses the ship's scientist, Dr. Salad of planning heinous acts on behalf of the organization which employs him, People for the Incubation of Strangely Terrific Alien Chromosomes in Human Impressionable Ova (PISTACHIO). PISTACHIO is just an organization supporting the rights of aliens! They help out with all aliens in their quest to integrate into human society. But Mr. Beck and the fake "journalists" filmed Dr. Salad saying he was secretly planning to using the crew to incubate his alien offspring. This is quite clearly a lie. Dr. Salad will be with us tomorrow to respond.
Mr. Zed must be stopped! (Pounds desk) With his continued fear mongering and incitement to violence, we have already lost our brave captain! I fear for the life of whoever is elected if Mr. Zed and his Lemon Party movement continue to gain influence on this ship! Mr. Zed is, quite obviously, guilty of hatred and should resign his position immediately.
Good night and good luck.
Your move, Optimus

Serious questions are being raised about Crewman Turne's desire to violate the electorate.
But first;
Does Crewman Salad plan on using us to incubate his alien offspring? You be the judge.
Listen, listen. I don't need to use you to incubate any alien offspring. Firstly, I have none. Secondly, I could whip up a few hosts in the sequencer in 10 seconds. Why would I need to use you, besides to kill you?
I'd like to point out that my opponents who claim that they'll follow whatever the rest of the council says are just asking to be made "figurehead" of the ship.
What we need is leaders. Not selfish figureheads that only want to use this crisis that we're in to pad their resume.
Vote for me and i'll use my judgment to lead us out of this crisis and defeat whatever is loose on our ship.

All right sweethearts, you know what to do.
I would like to point out that this election is for a public figure that must be held accountable. If a leader acts with his own judgement it will ultimately lead to him acting on his own interest. This means you will be playing to a minority of those who are in this situation, as a majority do not have your interest.
I am interested in holding office for the majority.

I'm planning on ruling with dictatorial might.
Because let's face it, 75% of the people out there you don't like (some are worse than others). Why not just let me make all the hard decisions for you and kill your enemies for you?
Acting in a manner that pleases your constituency is in your own interests, though, and so any leader will use his or her best judgment to achieve results that please the voters and lead to an additional term. So, I support the person with the best judgment and is therefore most likely to achieve pleasing results.
Now, as some of you may have heard, this show and it's viewers are under attack again by the liberal media. As usual, the corporate socialist masterminds at 30 Rockinspace have launched their assault on basic human decency by proxy, using known alien sympathizer EnightenedBum to distribute their anti-crewman propaganda.
Among the vicious attacks launched in this latest salvo are accusations that I... that we are making unfair assumptions about some of the candidates for Captain. The audacity of it. US. THEY are accusing US! THEY!UNbelievable.
HOW DARE THEY TELL US WE'RE WRONG!?!?!?! HOW DARE THEY STAND IN THE WAY OF THE PEOPLE!?!?!?!
We cannot let this stand, Crewmen. Today they're coming for me, but tomorrow it could be your neighbor. Or your mother. OR YOU. But we won't let that happen, will we Crewmen. We're not going to sit back and allow them to silence us one by one with their censorship, or their stormtroopers.
Or their "aliens." And that's something... that's something I wanted to talk to you about. What do we know about these, these "aliens"? We know exactly as much as THEY want us to know, and no more. How do we even know there ARE any aliens? In fact, I'm going to let the man tell you himself. Rob, roll that tape;
They help out with all aliens in their quest to integrate into human society.
Think about that for a second. THINK. They want to help "ALIENS" INTEGRATE into SOCIETY. Now I know you, and I know you're smarter than that. INTEGRATE? REALLY? Please. You and I both know, Crewman, that this is just a load they're trying to feed us to cover up what's really going on here. It's obvious Bum and this Dr. Salad person are part of something we're not supposed to know about. Something THEY want to use us for or do TO us. WAKE UP, Crewmen. It's all right there.
When will these elitists learn that you can't attack the people without the people fighting back? NO MORE are we going to stand by and let them treat us, REAL crewmen, like WE'RE the problem. It's time to stand up to the fat cats and the special interests. Stand up for what WE believe in, for REAL values. Don't let them silence you. DON'T. And they'll try, oh they'll try. Just like they're trying to silence me, Crewmen. Well we're not going to let them, are WE? Hell no we're not. We're going to fight THEM because that's the last thing that THEY want. And we're going to do it TOGETHER. YOU and ME, Crewmen.
Until next time, Stand Strong. WE can do this, Crewmen, we just have to be stronger than THEY are. Than THEY want US to be.
Which of these stories will you be talking about tomorrow?
Do Wildcat's family associations disqualify him from holding office? Hiro Protagonist joins me to discuss.
Meanwhile, Mr. kime directly offers bribes for votes. Can anything be done? Joining us will be MSGBC correspondent and former Professor of Naval Law at Georgetown University moniker (sadly deceased, he fails to join us).
In tonight's Worst Persons, Optimus Zed goes off the deep end and imparts pure racism into his arguments. All that and more now ... on Countdown with enlightenedbum!

True. But I think there is a higher chance of getting pleasing results if the decision is given to the majority. The majority's interest can fluctuate and has about a quarter chance of (initially) swinging in your favor or an individual who you know is either a part of your group and will act in your interest or not a part of your group and will either act against your interest or be neutral to your interest.
I will state that as acting captain I will only use the office to sort out this genies and aliens business.

That person selected a joke to run with. An embarrassment to us all. The little known Captain of the Dance subsection of the ship. He should be ashamed of himself. And resign his position on the Council.

Well gee. Looks like more of that politics as usual. What we really need is an outsider who can go down the court and keep her eye on the basket. Yah know, I'm gonna have to say "thanks but no thanks" on these deathpanels. Vote !Talleyrand! I can see space from my house.

Do we need to vote on what parts to use or does the acting captain decide?
You need to vote for one part in each pair. Once the resource is used, the captain gets to decide who to aim the resulting item at.
Resource votes should be made in cyan
