I'm going to follow his lead and vote glorfindel, just cause.
hi sofi!
do you believe glorfindel is bad because you agree with me or because you trust me?
my vote for glorfindel is specifically about a meta that I barely know about because of the one other game we've both played in, have you played with glorfy before?
As previous post.
No idea what meta is.
No I haven't.

I also want to hear more from Ambray because I don't think she has the context for all this Glorf stuff and she seemed to misunderstand what was going on and just followed Kyle's vote. :\
Most accurate.

Amby's post was too big and felt fake. It doesn't feel like a post that would be made day 1... meaning it's forced.
LOLOL.
My post was too big?
My my my, times really have changed.

Okay, so how have Day 1's been going around here these days? I see a lot of people either seeming to establish a meta (I'm going to do THIS this game") or reinforcing what seems to be their perceived norm (Sloonei "hi, I post a lot and ask a lot of questions") etc.
How does this meta-market typically end up? I guess I'm just struggling to find an entry point into the conversations.
I agree with this establishing a perceived norm stuff.

Spoilers.
Greetings Ambray! I don't believe we've ever played together. What can you tell me about your mafia background?
*Shows n00b card*
I have one of these and I think lynching Kyle is always a good idea.
Started the game off by claiming to be new. This turned out to be controversial:

Lolololol. Here we go.
Not I'm not new. I started playing 10years ago on LP and have played on various sites since with several people here. But it has been a long time since I last played, excluding the speed game or whatever you called it I played on here the other night.
And if Kyle talks about SoFi, he's talking about me - that used to be my name....
I also like to lynch him a lot. For giggles.
Her noobie claim was contested immediately and she walked it back, then splashed in some non-game meta justification for lynching Kyle. It doesn't seem serious, but that sort of joke suspicion always strikes me as having the potential to be used by scum looking to skate by early in games. That said, I don't feel like this kind of behavior (both the jesting lynch justification and the dubious noobious claim) is necessarily suspicious. It's going to depend on how she follows it up once the game gets going in earnest. So...

What do you think of nutella's reaction to your counterfeit n00b card?
I said it purposefully as a nod to saying the same thing in the burglary game and her reacting the same way.
What is your read on her right now?
That it's like an hour into D1 and I don't have one.

So I suddenly am working non stop over the next couple days, quite literally so won't be likely around to vote tomorrow.
In all the games I ever played of mafia I only played 1 that allowed role claiming and I still find it hard to wrap my head around it being an ok thing to do nowadays and I really can't say that I like it as a an allowance, but thems the kicks.
I remember yesterday being pinged by somebody, but I honestly do not have the energy in me right now to go back and reread, even just 2 pages worth. xD
I am getting civvie vibes from Kyle so far and I agree with his assessment of the role claiming situation - I am surprised at the amount of people disagreeing with him and calling him mafia for it...

Sorry to be so useless so early in the game.
I pressed her for a read on nutella after that initial activity and she gave an empty comment then a shrug. Her only contribution since the start of Day 1 is an apology for her absence (I don't hold this against her. Life happens) with a few more empty comments about the game (a remark about being unfamiliar with role claiming, and a ping from somebody unspecific). The only substantive content she provides is a vague town read on kyle.
I can see all of this being the product of a townie who's not fully invested in the game right now, but I also see reasons to be suspicious of Ambray. That said, there's not enough here for me to cast a vote with much confidence and I'd prefer to either give her a chance to get her feet wet or focus on the more talkative batch of players for now.
Ambray, any thoughts you have at all would be helpful. Even if it's just an elaboration on your civilian read on Kyle, or an identification of the player who pinged you earlier.
Wow, can't believe I actually have to defend myself over the n00b thing - that was a joke.
I started playing mafia 10years ago, but it has been a good 4-5 since I played, so near all the players are new and there are new terms and whatever to wrap my head around, but no I'm not a n00b - it was a simple jest. Nice to know things don't change with playing that ol' card though.
RE Kyle - as above. It's nothing substantial. I just called him baddie pretty quick in the burglary game and he's not pinging me thus far.
In terms of what it was earlier in the game that did, I read back and it was regarding LC.
Him saying about LA being his oldest mafia buddy and therefore knowing she wasn't acting herself and talking funny just seemed super odd to me. Epig has already elaborated on this though and reading further it seems people had suspicions LC was being set up for an easy bandwagon...yet...doesn't look like many actually voted for him. They certainly hadn't by that point.
I'm confuzzled by this because I hold LC in high esteem, we all know he's one of the best players there is and I don't think it's like him to be found out as mafia over such a simple mistake.
More than anything - the fact that is was very quickly called a bandwagon where, imo, it really didn't seem like one at all is what has me suspicious though.
Hope this isn't too long of a post to be suspicious for you Doctor.
