Nope. Could just be that I wasn't paying attention to the thread when people were posting about them, or that they weren't there.
I know that there was a lot of ~playing the game~ that just kinda went over my head because it felt like everyone was just going through the motions of playing mafia and not actually producing any interesting content. So it's entirely possible that I missed something during that.
I mean he specifically referenced the existence of further thought... why not ask about his other reasons, instead of assuming he has none?
This isn't 20 questions, or an interview. I agree that it's good to ask people questions to actually see what they think when sorting them. But what someone doesn't post is just as much evidence for their alignment as what they do post. Sometimes, it's actually a lot more evidence.
Ew.
This post gives me the icks.
Does it? I liked it. I'm not sure if it really helped me sorting anyone but I liked it. Interested in if you can qualify a bit further - there's something similar there to your "why would I respond to you if you aren't voting me?" thing earlier but maybe on a different wavelength.

Well, there's not much you can say to "your posts are all useless" in a succinct and convincing manner unless they go into specifics. *shrug*

Flea, how would you rate your day 1 reads?

I've never had a wrong read on day one. sometimes I just lie about my reads to keep up the tension.

Oh neat trick, what alignment is Miss Midnight?

vote count 1.17
with 14 votes in play, it takes 8 to make a decision. day 1 ends in (expired on 2021-09-03 17:20:00).
As a side note, Harvey has played a game with me before, and has seen my scumgame.

My big issue with Harvey and Haley rn is WIM telling. Haley being absent is probably the biggest red flag for me here, especially if I assume it's Anya based on Auro's previous interactions with them, and having played with them being absent scum.
Miss Midnight needs a good read over too when i'm sane.

Not much, really. Which sounds dismissive, but from what I've seen so far it seems like every vote on me is mostly just an extension of that phase from earlier where everyone was hopping on wagons mostly just to hop on them and see if it would build any sort of pressure. I'm not actually sure if anyone voting me except Thor actually scumreads me. Don't think anyone including Thor has actually given any reasons. I sort of get the motivation though. Beneath the outer layer of this mysterious, enigmatic and incredibly stylish player lies the true, sensitive heart of a poet. So it makes sense to want to try to see deeper.
Don't think the votes on me and Gamma's vote have anything to do with each other. The fact that you even ask makes me think I probably still have explained what I was trying to say there worse than I could have.

Don't think I ever said this, but I've come around to thinking that Manatee is town.

Oh, one more thing I forgot to mention. Everyone always gets antsy when people disappear for a while. Happens every single time. Probably one of the biggest correlations with getting eliminated is just not being in-thread constantly. So the timing makes sense to me as well.
I will say I hadn't realized I was tied for first wagon, though.

Haley is always low pressure D1 and I don't think he's been playing mafia lately. I'm more focused on what Harvey is doing rather than literal absence.

I don't really feel attached to any of my townreads this game. I'm not sure if I'm rusty or if this game is off to a significantly less telling start or what.

Could someone who was scum... make this??

I do think that in general this game is a little wanting for sort of obvious townreads. Don't think it's just you.
So about that.
My other head took a break from Mafia a few months ago. He was down to give it another go as a hydra since this is my first game in a while as well, but still doesn't feel like playing.
Guess he might read parts of the game if I ask him to, if there's anything specific y'all want I'll ask.
My other head is Xtoxm. He usually lurks in games - we thought maybe a hydra would help gain more interest to play but it still doesn't.
I also take it that my posting being contentless isn't an issue anymore

Does Xtoxm like playing one alignment over the other?
VOTE: Gamma
My scumread on Miss Midnight was because it felt like she was playing whack a mole but only punching the moles halfway with the hammer, like when she said she thought me listing 3 most likely scum positions was an attempt at really bad shade, when it was just an observation. She's applied a little more force on the Gamma whack though which I like.
