Because Mayor gets votes, while the Politician stops votes.

He doesn't necessarily "stop" votes, he just takes complete control over votes.

Also, I'm gonna edit the poll to see if people want the Politician to be able to control the vote of a revealed Mayor.

Yes.


Can you vote for it on the poll? I'm not really going to pay attention to the comments of:

Thanks ^_^

I think you should have limits on how many times they can steal a vote. Then aligning them with mafia support wouldn't be so bad. Like maybe you can only bribe twice?

Bribing only twice would be an EXTREME nerf to this role. So no.

Ok fine, but every day seems to be too much. You could potentially keep stealing the same person's vote, in which case they couldn't do anything.

They could talk. :|
Why would you steal the same person's vote EVERY time? That sucks the fun out of this role, and doing that is completely pointless, unless it's the revealed Mayor then in that case you can vote for yes/no in the poll ^_^

Well, yeah they could talk, but I bet there will be those people who do steal the same person's vote just to be an asshole. Once you find out a town member, like spy or mayor, you steal their vote, and then use it against themselves. I like the idea of this role, but I don't think you should be allowed to continuously do it.

Lots of roles already implemented in the game can do stuff to be assholes xD. Jailor, Vig, Mayor voting someone up for no reason, Doc heal known killing role, Escort rb a confirmed townie.
The list goes on.
And to the Spy/Mayor thing, they can easily confirm themselves.

i like the idea as a whole, but a towny can just say "I'm being bribed don't trust (whoever is trying to get so and so lynched)", said person trying to get a lynch is probably politician

Very valid point, unlike a vig who can claim they were controlled to kill a town member, a gamethrower can easily claim that they were bribed at all times in order to gamethrow.

The skill that it would take to use politician with the fact that people are notified when they are bribed, is just such a high skill gap... I don't think it needs nerfs, so I voted No-Yes-Yes.

Mace, change the one achievement in your spoiler. It says you can capture the vote of a revealed mayor.

I love this. Fits into NE quite well I'd think. Don't think it should be night immune.

Eh, I voted on your poll against the autovest. I'm really not a fan of the idea. The rest of it is fantastic. I love novel mechanics.

Stealing votes is interesting, and not too powerful. As the players shrink, the power increases. But stealing votes is a good power.
