Newbie 1992 | Game Over

[Maduisha]

I'm here again. Damn timezones, everyone always types a lot while I'm asleep. I caught up already, though.

hello friends!

or should i say,

Hi guys im mason

I see GW ask people if they think the mason claim is legit, but I want to ask you directly. Is this a meme claim, or are you serious?

Any reason you are copying Saudade's intro from that game?

skitter was innocent child in that game and mason is the only day 1 confirmed town in this setup and i didn't want maduisha to get bored enough to yolohammer someone slightly later on like in 1987 so i figured i'd say something that might get the game moving a bit.

I'm glad you tried to get the game moving, because I have a hard time dealing with the RVS and the state of the game during day 1. But I said at the end of that game and the beginning of this one that I wouldn't repeat that, so I'm not sure why are you giving that as a reason. I guess I dug up my own grave with that move in 1987 and people won't trust me on not being needlessly reckless that easily, oh well.

do you see this as a bad thing? why/why not?

Not a fan of it, to be honest. Like, having basically a confirmed townie is a good thing, but I would rather see how everyone reacts, and this way half the players (and probably some if not all of the mafia) will be able to jump in with that info already present. It tells us who not to vote for, but doesn't help us find mafia.

But then, I'm not really a fan of D1 mason flip anyway, so it might just be a personal thing.

clidd and mad: How many games have you been in (here or otherwise?)

FP'd by GeneralWu

generalWu, same question: How many games?

Knowing who not to vote for does help us find mafia by not lynching innocents. As for your question, I have only played one game here. I played a couple of games in a forum with friends many years ago, but the rules were pretty different, and the setups were full of PR, so I don't think my off-site experience is too valuable.

[Maduisha]

From that 1987 game, I have played with GW and Clidd. I don't really know how to read Clidd yet. But GW was mafia in the game I played with him, and he posted lengthier posts, mostly replying to other people, with an interesting amount of fluff in them from time to time. For now I'm not seeing that behavior he had as scum back then, so I have a town lean on him.

I don't have reads/leans for anyone else as of yet, but I liked the Datisi-GW interaction.

[Maduisha]

That being said...

VOTE: UnhealthyKids

Hopefully UnhealthyKids and Melanque come to play with us. Games with replacements don't sound as fun.

[Datisi]

What do you mean by "liked the interaction"?

[Maduisha]

What do you mean by "liked the interaction"?

I mean that I liked that he questioned why you were interested on Skitter's townlean on him instead of yours, and I also like how you answered to it, since it's true that you would be getting more information from that question vs asking only about yourself. Getting town vibes from the interaction in itself, because I think both his question and your answer were genuine. I have a hard time reading people in isolation, but I think interactions can communicate a lot.

[Datisi]

Hmm, alright. Obligatory "why the vote for a person who's not here yet?" (also we will likely be getting a replacement. the nature of newbie games.)

Also, out of curiosity, you somehwere from Europe?

[Maduisha]

I'm from Spain. So yes, Europe.

I voted them to get their attention when they read up to this point, not to call them scummy. I don't think lurkers/inactives are inherently scummy early on in the game when there isn't much going on. And he hasn't even confirmed his role, so obviously my vote isn't because of that.

Also, there's one vote on TRQ and it's a non-meme one, so I thought it'd be weird if I still leave my RVS vote on her and people vote for her later on when I'm not looking at the thread.

i'm basically of the opinion that voting for someone who isn't here and won't be seeing your vote until they show up doesn't help super much

like it's not a pressure vote because they're literally not aware that you made it if you they are disengaged enough from the forum that the game didn't start

i feel like in such a case it's usually better to try to vote someone who is actively present, and to let the absent player get replaced as necessary

[Maduisha]

I guess that is true. I thought it'd communicate "hey, we want you to engage." But if they don't even get to see it, then what's the point...

UNVOTE: Unhealthykids

I should wait for more interaction to happen, because there's nothing that strikes me as scummy right now, and that vote was kind of useless. Hopefully the remaining players show up soon!

[skitter30]

like it's not a pressure vote because they're literally not aware that you made it if you they are disengaged enough from the forum that the game didn't start

this was meant to say: they're disengaged enough from the forum that they didn't even know the game started

what do you think of generalwu and clidd rn?

do you have any townreads you'd like to share?

or even any gut thoughts that's tickling the back of your brain that you can't explain or substantiate? those are super helpful to share at this stage of the game too to get things moving

[Menalque]
