I don't believe I've played with you before either, rabbit. Tell me about yourself.

Just assume I'm the most awesome motherfucker you've ever encounters and we'll go from there.

How long is day 0? I get back home tomorrow and can only check until then.

I would like to play a game of mafia with you. I'm a person who likes to ask a million questions and get people to share as much as possible. You seem to be the anti-Sloonei.

Yes, the game is afoot. Let us play, play. To the death!!!!

Rabbit is like if you mixed JaggedJimmyJay and DrWilgy together in an alchemy lab, then turned in the result to your highschool alchemy teacher for homework, but you ended up getting a C- because he bit one of the teachers' fingers off.

Yeah, its a fun party prop. Pull it out at all the alchemy reunions at Kyleland High.

timmer wrote: ↑Wed Jan 31, 2018 11:55 pm 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.

My self-analysis was just an attempt to break the ice with rabbit, who wasn't giving me anything to work with. In fact, he still hasn't. He came in, made a bunch of nothing posts, then bailed. I want to see reads or some attempt to play the game out of him soon.

But uh, the meta stuff happens when new folks are around. I know I like to not be left in the dark when it comes to new players, hence my asking the two new faces (to me, at least) about their mafia experience early in the game.
You can enter the conversation right here! Do any players stand out to you one way or the other so far?

Or......

Yeah, I wonder if he's feeling a bit like I am? (Am i right that this is rabbit's first foray back in a long time?) I remember rabbit being someone who could post a lot or a little but no specific feature that would help you with his current output.

As for the rest, not really. I'm mostly just observing for now. I've always been pretty useless on Day 1, but once I get my hands on lynch polls I can correlate data wit the best of them.

I'd say the votes on LC seemed a bit easy, but then so did LC's own vote, it's typical Day 1 stuff. I'll mostly be watching for people making too much of a mountain out of a day 1 molehill, that's generally what constitutes my early pings.

No no, I was in Mortal Kombat for a day and night then I reread everything then those fucks Nked me. So.... Go get lynched again, Sloo?

Is this normal day 1 rabbit behavior? He's provided next to nothing of substance in all of his posts so far, and this looks like a super easy bandwagon vote. I'm not sure a maphier (word of the game) would be so careless, but rabbit is not a player i'm familiar with.

Normal Rabbit is normal. What bandwagon? Are you going with the fact that I voted for LC? Go with that then, and assume my vote can't be changed.......

LC, what's up? Have you paid more attention yet? why are you still voting for nutella? what's your read on rabbit?

Not too impressed with rabbit's play so far. Putting down phony pressure votes just to not look like a "no vote weirdo" is something I have done in the past, and I got called out for it, and I was bad. We might be seeing that here with rabbit8, and it's an easy play to fall back on when you're a little rusty.

I no longer consider myself as voting for nutella, I just haven't decided another place to put it yet. Short list, I have Jack and rabbit. Jackrabbit. I'll go rabbit.

I agree with his briefest of points about rabbit, that he hasn't contributed much, but then again, neither has Wilgy (all jokes), neither has DF himself ( posts), or novaselinenever (barely here), neither have I, really. In a game full of quiet players, singling one out who doesn't have an established meta while others with established metas run rampant with jokes etc and you give them a pass just feels cheap and like something a mafia would do. Why tangle with a meta people know when you can vote the new guy?

You don't hear me?

Discussion of a potential meta is different than discussion of any established meta imo

this does nothing to explain why you think DF is suspicious

Of course it does? If he voted for any other lesser contributor the odds of his vote being weighed against known meta would be higher. On day 1, avoiding that kind of thing is a ping for me.

Oh... I guess I understand now. But looking at his post I don't agree. His reasoning for voting rabbit makes sense.

Bullshit reason, but not indicative of alignment IMO . Since all of our votes were complete fucking bullshit.

He coasted thru day 1. He was basically a less jokey Wilgy. No alignment feel on that, though.

Coasted, fuck that shit and the meta bullshit cases and so on for that. Now, day one again, and something to actually discuss.

Later though.

That was DF's voting reason. It makes sense to me as well. Your rebuttal was "why not Epi?"

Your rebuttal makes no sense. So, DF votes Epi for the same reason, and then Epi says "why not rabbit8?" The man only has one vote to cast, and no two players are identical, despite whatever similarities you want to showcase. DFaraday thought you were avoiding engagement, and that's a reasonable thing to think a baddie would do. It's not a smoking gun, but to say it makes no sense is wrong.

My overall abstract point was about nutella's discussion with Timmer. I actually have no issue with DFs vote, thus:

the comment in red.

The argument made against me.... one could have been made against another poster or two. DF jumped on ME, not someone else. I thought it was odd. Timmer pointed this out, Nutella disagreement with him is more what I have issue with. Not because of DFs vote. I never once took issue with his vote. I take issue with Nutella and her buddying to DF in this way.

In red, yes accusing someone of something more than one person is doing is odd when you use that as a reason to vote and Timmer seeing that and thinking DF might be suspicious is odd.

LC and Nutella need to be lynched.

You can think what you think about me but you're wrong.

I don't think you were defending DF.

I don't think you're bad, but I have a feeling you're mafia.
If anything can be assumed about the sociological climate, that's what matters.
