"but im not sure if thats alignment indicative for them or not"

is kinda a scumtell

Hedgyness is scummy in my experience I agree; this particular archetype of a sentence ilario wrote "I like this person" hasn't been a scumtell in my personal experience.

I do think your stance and actions on this are towny indicative.

In a vacuum I'd say this is a >rand wolf post. (Edit: Not because of a particular benefit to wolves, just my observation from playing many games). But it would be relevant to take into account Darling's inexperience with everyone (unless they are an alt). Even if they were an alt they'd be pretending to be a newcomer anyway so it doesn't matter. What I was saying was ... yeah, it could be chalked up to the awkwardness of being a newcomer to a party where you don't know anyone. Chances are you won't be smooth from the start. So I suppose I should decide how much I wanna weigh in each of these two scales.

Oh I roughly know everyone's ages, I was just teasing Jack specifically. And Tim ended up collateral damage.

I think that making the read that anyone is out of their wolf range yet would be very incorrect and dare I say disrespectful to their wolfing skills. That being said, of course the value of at least trying to make reads to push the game forward is valuable, it needs to start one way or another, and simply making a guess on people's alignments - nothing wrong with that.

So, let me take a leap of faith and try: I think Jack town, Scotty town, Cape town.

I don't feel great about it, and those could easily be wrong, but I suppose we need to get through the rocky start of the game one way or another.

I don't have this problem. Anyone older than me is a wolf.

Looks like this leaves us with a PoE of exactly Timsup2nothin and no one else. But I think there should be more than one wolf, so this sorting strategy might have flaws.

I have no idea what you mean

I voted you for vibes and you were like "there may be a vibe mismatch" and so I'm just like eeeeeeeeeeeeeeh

Oooh I see. I'd have never guessed that was the meaning behind your gif. Case in point.

I literally am incapable of rolling mafia on this site.

Unrelated [VOTE: Tutuu] aubergine

My last mafia rand here was 3 years ago, and in those years I've only randed mafia once on SC2 mafia, and about 30-40 town rands. Wilgy, Long Con and nutella are the only ones here who have seen me mafia I think.

I never thought about it this way but I'm pretty sure I struggle reading anyone older than me. I have an easier time reading younger people than me. If you're above 25 then I just can't empathize with you fully due to lacking your amount of experience being alive, I think.

[VOTE: unvote] aubergine (my vote was in jest)

[VOTE: Delta] aubergine This guy always rands mafia and is very annoying. (Purely inside of the game, of course)

i have seen them all as mafia yeah

idk

Pat pat smol smol, at least we tried!

My meta on everyone here is quite outdated; also I've misread most of the players here. I don't feel confident in being accurate before flips.

didnt like capes opener either but cant really pinpoint why other than it felt a little awkward to me

delta leaning town on everyone might be slightly towny, wolves tend to be slightly more pressured to find something to scumread or shade in their openers

is this not what you just did? :wowee:

Is there anyone aside from me you think had a townie entrance?

yep it sure is, but thats cos im on a timer most games im village so ive shifted my focus from towncore building into just trying to kill wolves

there were other entrances that seemed fine but i havent played as much with those players so i was waiting for the day to play out some more. but since you brought it up id scotty seemed relaxed tonally, and i liked tutuu but im not sure if thats alignment indicative for them or not, they strike me as someone id probably like and get along with as either alignment

I kinda dislike this post, especially the tutuu part feels just wrong to me

How can he be wrong? Well sure he can be wrong that I'm town, but he's just saying that he likes me. Is that not a subjective preference? Where is the room for error?

(unless you're using wrong to say scummy rather than incorrect?)

Yeah definitely ?_? it feels weirdly quiet

How are you feeling so far? Any thoughts? \o/

I’m trying to fill the thread with thots

People I’m liking thus far and whom I wouldn’t mind have a little dance party with in the break room:
You
Long Con
jack
ilario


People that need some coffee or something to be a productive member of society:
tutuu
Lime Coke
Nutella

People that apparently work here but only come out when the lunch bell chimes:

Me, Lime Coke and nutella have been sleepyheads, but Jack hasn't?

Alright. Enough messing around from me. If we, the Town, want to win this game, we need to take it seriously. And that means throwing out reads in order to generate discussion. Anything short of that would be lazy. As such, my reads are as follows:

The other thread probably has 10 pages of spammy nonsense by now. I would like to think that we are the more intelligent group. Perhaps Jay divided us by intelligence. We are the scientists, and the other group are the primates.

I know how his name is spelled ... That was a typo ...

I don't find anything posted so far alignment indicative. I could try and give out some gut leans, but if I'm not sure, what's even the point? As they likely won't be all accurate. The only potential pro is to not get myself scumread as Giving Reads Early is considered Standard Etiquette for a Good Samaritan Townie ... but yet ... what do I do when I don't have reads and I don't care about manipulating people by being mafia?... Am I brave enough to go against the grain?... They bullied Galielo Galilei out of his right read that the Earth is round ... Peer pressure can be a powerful tool ... And yet ... Be brave?

Jay was very insistent and hopeful on having a large amount of players, which would be needed to make something like this possible.

Yes, I agree.

Does it take lots of votes in one place to control the elimination? Like, if our guy has five and their top has four, then our guy AND his partner on the flipside both get eliminated?

Maybe. We could strategize around that but why? Best to treat it as normal I guess.

I would guess they both get eliminated, and we have no control over what happens in that game, at least for now, unless a mechanic lets us.

We seem to have a subforum dedicated for this game (normal games don't have a dedicated subforum).

I'm unsure how forum permissions work, but it would be flavorful if the other half of the playerlist can't even read this thread, and we can't read their thread, if that's possible at all.

Scotty reminds me of that fun and friendly grandpa with dementia at family gatherings.
