Anyways, I just spent far longer on this than I meant to (and I'm aware most of that was far to meta a discussion to be particularly useful, so apologies for those who have no interest in that sort of overall game analysis and just like the skin and bones of a game to chew on, I'll try and focus on the issues at hand tomorrow), have an exam in a few hours and still need to actually sleep. I will be back with plenty of time before the lynch ends though, so shouldn't be an issue.

Fence-sitting and flip-flopping is definitely, firmly, squarely my town meta. Dom is right about that. It's just early enough in the game that I mostly just have the starting reads that I may flip-flop on later.

Moral to the story. Don't do that. I'd rather fast forward through that please.

I could vote for you, but that would be as basic as your Jay impression.

Whn asking a question to incite dialogue means you're doing a Jay impression lol

This wouldn't even be in the top 3 most embarrassing ways I have been caught. If it were a slip, and if I were scum, which it is not, and I am not.

The GoC where you.... huh.... talked about the setup with the hosts in advance.

I don't do "obvtown" on Day 1.

You're setting off my Spidey senses bruh.

I don't get it.

Every time I read your posts I sense inauthenticity.

Yes you should. I’ve correctly pegged town Creature on D1 in like four games.

But I didn’t say he was town here.

Creature wrote: ↑Sun Dec 08, 2019 3:57 pm Considering 17 players usually means 4 mafia in a town v mafia singleball but also considering this site is weird, I'd say 3 mafia with chances of a handful of third parties

I could see that, I don't recall ever playing a Nova game though which does make it a bit more murky.

I'd say 3-4 mafia and two third parties probably with survivorish roles, I don't think the game could support a SK given how small it is and there being role reveals. It's also possible one of the third parties is a mechanism against role claiming, if they're not I'd be wary of the mafia having a role that could punish a player for revealing info/claiming.

the way you imply he third parties being survivorish is worrying me
I note it down

It's an obvious assumption to make given the player pool.

1.5 years mafia experience, and I havent ever seen someone comming D0 implying that third parties might be survivorish. Lmao, this is scummy af and I dont know how else to judge this random wild assumption.

I just think that you could be harmful (possible third) who tries to downplay the scum/thirds in general in this game.

Thats why I said noteworthy.

Gonna play the culture card here, I like to try to distinguish third party, no point in hunting survivors SKs you should go after. Same with Cult.

Survivor is a bad role.

It is way too easy to win with, when it loses, it is rarely the fault of the survivor player, optimal survivor play leads to a less interesting game and survivors can easily become kingmakers at endgame, which is against the spirit of the game.

Change my mind.

Dafuq does that last sentence even mean tho. Like what kind of take is that

This is scummy imo.

My hypothesis is nutella is mafia and at that time her teammates had yet to check in so she was trying to indirectly counter my point.

What if I told you that, statistically, mafia tend to check in earlier?

My main thought is her reaction to my post and less the statistics of when they may check in, if that makes any sense?
