I understand that from the perspective of a newer player it may seem like there isn't much to go off of during day 1, but just waiting on D1 until a wagon forms doesn't help advance town in any way. D1 is usually the hardest day-phase, because it's about creating content without actually having much content to go off of. Hence why RVS is a good way to get the game started.In post 110, furtiveglance wrote:I will probably wait for a wagon to form, then defend the person getting voted/question the people on the wagonIn post 109, Mr Turtle wrote:So what is your plan for day 1 while you wait for a flip?In post 103, furtiveglance wrote:No opinion on that like I said, just giving TTTT what they wanted.In post 98, Mr Turtle wrote:After what fact?In post 81, furtiveglance wrote:I can't really read entrances like you seem to think you can.

can you tell me who between Alanna and PimP
has a scummier entrance so far
and why?
yeah I know it's super early
but I need to see how you are thinking
As for PP (lol), their entrance seemed (again in a self-aware way) clumsy and awkward - 'Can't delete posts, right?'.
None of this is really something I would form reads on,I prefer to analyse after the fact.
One thing I want to make sure of in this game is that the day 1 elimination actually provides some information, rather than people ganging up on a player for something random (ofmercia flashbacks).
The day 1 vote will give us a flip. I will use that to analyse day 1.
In your opinion, would you say "clumsy and awkward" entrance posts are more likely to be town or mafia?
I'm glad you shared some initial reads. I have a couple questions though.In post 131, furtiveglance wrote:Scratch that, I will give some very primitive reads, on order of how town I think a player is.
My biggest townread is Mr Turtle. They seem quite frank in a way that mafia might not be on day 1.
Also townlean on TTTT, seem to be trying to advance the game.
I will stay neutral on Somnus, they have said nothing about the game so far.
Lukewarm has said eww twice and nothing else, so no read.
Marci has not arrived yet - no read.
Alianna had a strange interaction with TTTT at the start, I will say no read because it wasn't really game related but could be nervous mafia or nervous town. Either way nervous
PimpPestPlay has seemed a bit blendy so far, almost like they want to be ignored in some posts. I will need more substance from them, for now it is a tentative scumlean.
BigTerp asked if I was cop in one of their first posts, which seems strange. Did they really not know I was joking about being a Rolecop? And do they really not know what the difference between Cop and Rolecop is alignment-wise? They insist on having no confusion but have given me some confusion so far. It could be that they aren't a native speaker/are new to this website/setup?
For now it's a tentative scumlean.
Just noticed this. I told you last game you were biased towards high frequency posting, which was true. That would be if I gave Somnus a townread (I didn't). In fact I gave 2 townreads/townleans in total, out of 8 other players. The rest were either no read or scumleans.In post 179, Lukewarm wrote:In post 176, TTTT wrote:@Luke - your feedback on this would be helpful

I feel like his read on you is the less interesting one? I think you seem fairly townie as well, at least for this early in the game.
But his other town reads bother me after making such a big deal ALL GAME last game telling me that I was town reading people too easily. And then his "strongest town read" is turtle with his 3 total posts
Exactly. There were 4 of us here (5 if you include Luke's 1 post) when the game started and we were mostly joking around, as well as me answering questions about the only other game I've played on-site. So I don't understand this notion that I haven't said anything game-related. Everything I've said after the first 12 hours after the game started has been game-related.In post 184, furtiveglance wrote:
Lukewarm, if you think I'm playing differently it could be because this is a new game. The first 100 posts had a more jokey/relaxed feel. You should also bear in mind that this is my second game on the site so my playstyle is not yet formed.
Like I've already said, it's not at all how I'm use to playing this game. There was and has been a lot of talk about previous games, and I now understand that's a tactic, strategy, etc for many here. Which is obviously fine. I'm just not comfortable relying on others interpretations of how a particular player is playing this game compared to previous ones. I prefer to draw my own conclusions on how everyone is currently playing. I know day 1 there is little to go on, but that's why I try to find something different or odd for me to latch into early.In post 183, Mr Turtle wrote:I'm questioning the conclusion BigTerp got in post 108.
Confusion is a tool that can be used to town's benefit. While mafia may use confusion to manipulate town to some extent, mafia doesn't like too much chaos. The more confusing the thread gets, the more room there is for scum to slip as they aren't prepared for the confusion. The mafia relies that things follow their agenda and if there is no structure, it's hard for them to fit in.
Oftentimes a quiet, structured or stagnant game means that mafia is in control of the thread. If mafia were close to being caught, they'd try to use chaos and confusion to get out of it. Obviously, if nothing confusing or actionable is happening, mafia is perfectly content with their position in the game and that's a bad sign for town.
I don't think joking or meta reads have helped mafia, really. If anything, they've helped town. Joke posts are often relaxed and authentic, something which can be harder for scum to fake. Talking about a previous games can help contextualize, to those of us who haven't played or spectated those games, about who has meta reads on each other or who has radically changed their playstyle since their last game (possibly indicating an alignment shift).
Why are you still at caught up on this? I thought I explained myself well in regards to my questioning previous game talk. You even previously said you accepted my "newness" for my strange posts. Yet here you are still stuck on it. Odd!!In post 186, Somnus wrote:]

Hilariously, asking those questions apparently got you town-read, but answering them got me scum-read because logic.
You're be correct.
Ah, you're correct. My mistake. I've been playing from my phone, which is tough on this forum. Hence the accidental early post and misspellings. Not a good look either way though.In post 191, Somnus wrote:No...I didn’t say that at all. Furtive did. You’ve either misread the game so far beyond what I thought anyone was capable of or you’re giving the laziest push as scum I’ve ever seen. I don’t care about the vote. Keep your vote on me. You explained it and stuck to your faulty logic and doubled-down.
