Based on behavior? I do feel a little weird about Luna buying into the idea of a random lynch so easily. Seems like it could be taking the easy way out. As a matter of policy I’d kinda rather get rid of someone who isn’t attempting contributions (no-posters) but that’s not ideal either.

I'm open to suggestions and to changing my vote. I just don't have a good read on anyone on day one.

It's a better vote than random-voting.

Seemed like it might've been for show.

But then i think the way he seemed disappointed about no one picking up on his first-post-strategy felt like he genuinely thought he was onto something good and then felt a bit let down when people didn't believe in it. This would be faked emotion if he was scum and knew all alignments and I don't feel like it was fake. So I think that part is far more towny than the suspicious thing is scummy so Sig is my first townread.

my only tiny suspicion so far is Colin.

This question i could see as him prodding around and seeing what others stances on sig's theory was before he gave his own so he could adapt his own stance based on what would benefit him. It's really thin though.

Very incisive. I did want to see what other people thought of sig’s thing but mostly because I couldn’t decide whether it made him look scummy or not for the exact reasons you outline. Good stuff.

Can you go into a bit which kinds of answer from people would make you think Sig's thing was scummy and which answers would make you think it was not?

sig, did someone else already remind you of this? If not, I'm reminding you.

Yeah, it fell flat. I suggested day 1 we look at the people who posted about their scary experience a bit closer for two reasons.

1. Mafia tend to read the rules more imo
2. If just one mafia member read the rules they'd post it in BTSC and the teammates would do it.

Nobody else seemed to think it was a good idea, so I'm keeping it in my back pocket until we get more flips and see if I'm right.

Thanks for pointing it out though!

How did you come to believe #1? Are you more likely to read the rules as Mafia?

Well up until this post yeah, now I gotta stop so its not a scum tell.

The idea behind it is that I'm more tactical as scum and wanna look civvie so I read the rules since I care more about looking high speed/sup town.
Now Ik not everyone is like that and some civs read the rules but I've not read the rules as a civ since like my first few games here.

I don't have a problem with the fact it's punishing people who read rules but there is a big chance mafia didn't bother to mention this in the chat. Some mafias don't even fully join BTSC before Day 0 ends. So it's not really concusive.
