Both Dusk and Dawn function as normal Mafia game eliminations, as well as Noon and Night function as normal mafia game night phases. They are functionally identical except they are distinct.
So it seems that Noon is the night phase for the Solar cult and the night is the night phase for the Lunar cult. In other words, based on flavor we can guess that the cults are even/off phase mechanically. But guess we'll see when we go

It is a level zero take, but it's acceptable this early in the game.

I’ll be honest, Tictac is paying more attention this game then I am.
I haven’t really read much of anything but I noticed he’s talking a bit in our hydra chat about stuff and reads and what not.

In post 93, Frozen Angel wrote:Hey mastina

the number of posts so far:

Save the Dragons: 2
Yume: 1

Can you explain how the two of these are in your almost lock-town slots when their game hasn't even start yet? Yume practically posted nothing so far (Who is Talia btw?) and save the dragons made a weird comment about "if the mechanics are difficult" acting like he doesn't know this is a closed setup?
In post 57, Save The Dragons wrote:I don't plan on learning the mechanics are they difficult
I actually found that alarming in different ways
mastina has apparently mastered an art for interpreting early game posts. I haven't seen it to be too accurate in practice, but she'll place extreme confidence in it. I don't think it's really alarming not to engage in mechanics. Scum have more incentive to be engaged because scum mistakes tend to be costlier.
In post 122, Save The Dragons wrote:Also no one told me if the mechs are difficult lol

That's not really a slip of any kind. This is clearly a bastard-esque game with an unusual day cycle. That's enough to imply that the mechanics are more complex than average.

But that doesn't matter to me as much as how you contradicted yourself on tone there in a way later on, at first saying yeah its a town read and both heads of hydra fully agree and then falling back on the read and claiming its just a hunch practically without any other development in game to justify the tone switch. Like I don't hold people responsible that much for their page 2 reads but I'm looking for people developments from one point to another to judge if it was faked or not
I'm pretty sure it was just slightly unfortunate wording on Greeting's part. He could have said "FA is towny" instead of "FA is town" in the initial post and then we wouldn't be here having this discussion.

I realise this is an easy thing to say to cover up an apparent inconsistency after the posts have been made. I don't think there's anything more I can do to change minds at this point, so I'm gonna move on.
In post 87, Frozen Angel wrote:[...]
what are your reads besides that "level 0" town read on my slot from everything else that's being said?
Just from browsing the thread right now, and without having discussed with Greeting, I feel like the Past Present Future slot might be Town. Call it vibes idk, just feel like their posting is on par for the course so far.

I'm gonna take it slow I think, I don't really know how to handle a good chunk of the playerlist and I don't really know what to do with the multiball aspect of the game.

I'll give you a hint: it should be quite obvious who is who by now. I hope though that you'll keep your guesses to yourself so that it doesn't distract the players who cannot tell us apart.

this to me seems like fa is trying to sus me for something that reasonably should be a playstyle, nai thing that i said. I think town would recognize it and respond normally, while scum might jump on it as something that looks like it might have meat on it when it really doesnt.
In post 135, Frozen Angel wrote:1 - not unintrested, I'm asking and inviting for conversations to happen
i said uninterested because FA never made a comment since then about being alarmed and has been posting other content. it makes me think that "being alarmed" is not serious enough to warrant any sort of sorting behavior. Hence, FA just said that to throw shade and test the waters without having to get invested.
In post 135, Frozen Angel wrote:Your lack of awareness about what happened in game with such low content being posted right now sounds off-putting in ways
Despite shading me and then claiming she never did, she goes on to try to discredit me and my read by saying I have a lack of awareness.

Our discussion after is kind of meh, this is the meat and potatoes of my problem with FA. Someone please tell me, yes? no? bad? good? right? wrong? see it? don't see it?
FA is a complex bag. If you’re town (you’re a scumlean to me) FA is unique in some of her posting. I think treating her like a common mafia player is a recipe for disaster. If she’s town (as I suspect she is) giving her room to breathe will demonstrate it. She has an emotional “tell” to me. That’s not the right phrasing but I can’t think of better.

Explained earlier.

I didn’t like STD’s focus on FA for doing things when Mastina was doing them worse.

It’s only a lean though as I could see town StD doing it but it’s unlike him to be sucked into drama.

We’re not discussing alts and knowing who’s who helps me determine how much I can trust the read. So, I respectfully disagree with you about this, especially since there’s been hydra dissonance. In SC 2 (I think it was?), it was different because the duckling/Shoshin hydra had 0 dissonance so it really didn’t matter too much.

I’ve been in many games where head signing was part of the ruleset.

People have said in many games I’ve hydra’d in that they had a different take on my slot based off of which head was posting.

Can relate. It’s always fun when you find your other head expressed a read, only to wonder why you didn’t hear anything about it before they posted.
