Day 1: Promises, Prizes, and a New Leader!

1755394850146.jpeg


The sun had barely slipped past its midday peak when the fairgrounds turned into a frenzy of posters, jingles, and impassioned speeches. The staff had taken the call for a new leader to heart, and the campaigning was in full swing. By the Ferris wheel, a tall woman in a striped shirt called out to the crowd, promising smoother rides, longer hours, and most enticing of all, two-for-one funnel cakes every Friday. Her smile was dazzling, her handshakes firm, and her voice carried over the music of the carousel.

Not far away, a man near the fairgrounds entrance waved his clipboard for emphasis, declaring that under his watch, every ride would be run with fairness and precision. "No ticket skipped, no line jumped!" he barked, and for a moment, it almost felt like he was already in charge. Meanwhile, across the midway, almost drowned out by the sound of quacking ducks, a soft-spoken figure made their case in quieter tones, offering visions of harmony, care, and a fair where everyone felt at home. Their gentle words and shy smile had more sway than some expected.

Soon the campaigns turned to more... unconventional routes of persuasion. One after another, cats were paraded before the crowd, soft, purring bundles of fur presented with a flourish. Appeals to the voters’ hearts, and to their well-known weakness for whiskers, echoed almost as loudly as the questionable promises of tax cuts, and hats for every animal in the petting zoo.

One crew member stood at the crossroads of the booths, wringing their hands and muttering to themselves, torn between futures that looked equally convincing. Their indecision was echoed by others in the crowd, voices rising and falling as impossible promises piled up like cotton candy.

In the end, though, one voice rose above the din. The woman who kept the rides humming and the crowds cheering had struck the right chord. Her campaign was full of energy, her confidence infectious, and the crew rallied to her side.

As the sun dipped toward the horizon and the lights began to twinkle across the fairgrounds, the votes were tallied, and the decision was clear: the fair had its new leader.

A cheer rose from the midway as the fair’s loudspeakers crackled to life.

“Ladies and gentlemen, staff and fairgoers alike, the results are in! By popular decision, your new Mayor of the Fair has been elected! Let the celebrations begin, and may this season shine brighter than ever before!”

Your newly elected mayor is @beans2020 !

The crowd erupted once more, the music swelled, and for now, the fair buzzed with the promise of a bright season ahead. And if the cotton candy clouds stretched a little pinker than usual, or the carousel horses seemed to neigh with extra cheer, well, everyone knew it was just good luck for the start of the season.​
 
Fellow fairgoers, I am delighted to serve as your mayor! To those who voted for me, thank you for your unwavering support - and for those who did not, I hope I can prove myself worthy of being your mayor.
Since it seems that cat pictures are the way to people's hearts - here is the love of my life!

is it too late to waver? I’m more of a dog guy myself.

I feel like I was duped
 
So what do we do now?
Post a picture of your dog?

Also decide what your night action will be (if you have one from your role) and submit it to mods. There's not much to do at night at this stage of the game other than get to know each other, since there's no reason to vote in the night phase.

Congrats beans!

I don’t actually have a dog of my own, as I’m allergic! But I do collaborate with our vet school on some of their clinical trials for dogs with cancer, so I feel like that makes me an honorary dog guy?
 
Hi I’m Sarah and I’m also new to this game!

Elect beans

I just got to catch up and see all of the cute kitty photos! Here’s my Sir Edgar 🙂View attachment 407865

Hey everyone, My name is Sarah. sorry I am late! (I am in the marching band at my school and we have been at band camp from 8am - 10pm this past week) but I am all good to go now. Congrats Beans on being our new mayor! I look forward to playing with all of you

so what do you think from yesterday?
 
I am realizing I dont know much about tax rates. Is 10% a lot? Too little? What about 15%?
good tax rates
After checking the federal income tax rates, these are actually some of the LOWEST tax rates for single earners under $100k.

So fruit thinks my taxes on the wolves were "good rates", but they were actually very low.

Fruit does not want high taxes for wolves.

Mayhaps because fruit is ...a wolf who earns less than $100k/yr?

Yeah fruit did come over to me whenever I stated my intent to tax the rich and the wolves 99.999999%
 
I voted for beans early on because someone mentioned they did well in the last game. I probably would have fallen for rae or indy’s briberies (cat photos) had I been active during the time they were campaigning, but I think beans will do great! Yay for funnel cakes!
Hey I did no briberies, I ran on vengeance (wolves took Moop’s legs) and taxes (99.999999% for the rich babyyyyyy).

How are we feeling for a potential yeet today? We’re getting close and we need to start having a real conversation in fair land!

Beans! What say you as mayor?

I’d be inclined to say yeet Vampy since they’re not participating (for good reason) and if we don’t get a sub for them, we can get this going and get our feet wet, try out the ol’ training wheels?

Also, if everyone can share their pronouns on here that would be awesome! Do we have a side thread I could use?

Edit: also Moop is still legless, HELP!

Be careful about strategizing at night, the wolves are choosing their first target right now and if we talk about our strong village/scum reads we're just giving them ideas for who to take out.

I'm PBC aka Peebs, she/her pronouns
 
I use she/her pronouns!

Won’t the mods kill players who are inactive? If so, I think we should save our yeet for people we may suspect to be wolves instead of inactive people
