What irks me about this is someone’s continuity of opinion has been cut off without any clear indication of whose it was. So you might ask someone a question about what they posted earlier, only to find out it was not them.
I thought your avatar was supposed to be Spike from Cowboy Bebop. Do you mind if I call you Spike?In post 270, Gentleman 5 wrote:Yeah I need a better Kougami avi

Yes, it being announced is helpful to know someone’s continuity was interrupted, but I still am not aware of whose it was until I find out the hard way. A note on which slot the replaced person was in would be nice, since if you find out the hard way you get any information you would be getting from that anyway.In post 451, Gentleman 6 wrote:I actually vastly prefer having known that Chennis was replaced so I can play around it rather than having no idea what slot Dannflor was representing that then shifted.
Indeed it was, I’m pretty sure he was one of the players who had not posted yet based on that.In post 285, Gentleman 5 wrote:That was quick.
I am forming a good impression of Malala (L1) already. I also like the idea of pairing off the townreads first.In post 299, Lady 1 wrote:Oh god two slips already :/
Am I the last one to arrive? My thoughts so far are that consensus townreads are probably the way to go, then ideally we can form pairs from within that group first. That way we have a better chance of crowding out scum into non optimal pairings with each other and with town who are harder to identify. Better than if we tried to just pick scum out individually, or all decide on pairings individually.
I've skimmed the game on mobile but the text is too small for me to actually read people's usernames easily which is a bit of a problem. So while I reread can everyone please give a list of your strongest townreads? It helps to have them in a list instead of scattered across pages.

It's certainly possible to play mafia effectively without using meta.

@G2: yeah let's avoid suiciding. If you're a cassandra, show that off now with sorting out good pairings
I scoped out all of the players because I was interested in what people were doing. You can still find profiles even if someone hasn't posted, using the member list. Lady 6 does not have an avatar.In post 339, Lady 9 wrote:Can you elaborate on this, how do you know that they had avatars early?
This seems like a nothing question. I mean if you're interested in how to view their profiles sure, but sounded like you were trying to get a read off my method somehow.

I mean it probably yields nothing but I recall a game a couple years back where something came if this sort of event. I think Jackpot also pointed it out. I myself tried checking a couple profiles when I got the day start message, to see what others had chosen for their avatars, so Malala’s course of action makes sense.In post 347, Lady 9 wrote:Am I wrong to be thinking like this?In post 345, Lady 1 wrote:This seems like a nothing question.

As I suspected, it was Jackpot who noted it. Gives me an idea of who she is, but I will not try to act on that lead. It will probably impact how I interact with her, though.In post 351, Lady 7 wrote:Many many moons ago in a galaxy far far away, scum outed themselves in the first few pages of the game by discussing the avatar of someone who hadn't posted yet in thread.In post 347, Lady 9 wrote:Am I wrong to be thinking like this?In post 345, Lady 1 wrote:This seems like a nothing question.

While anyone can make a mistake like that, there's something about Lady 1's measured tone that feels too systematic to make that mistake. Though the response to the question feels a bit eh.
