Re: basic mafia [DAY 1]
I didn't pay much attention to the last time I saw fingers as town (I had a n0 green check on her) but I'm pretty sure she's just hedgy like that as a person, its just how she speaks.

I didn't feel like I had any trouble finding Fingers villagery in that game.NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME wrote: ↑Wed Jul 07, 2021 2:15 pm I didn't pay much attention to the last time I saw fingers as town (I had a n0 green check on her) but I'm pretty sure she's just hedgy like that as a person, its just how she speaks.
But that intro post here definitely pings me pretty hard-- it's just one of those classically wolfy posts.

Re: basic mafia [DAY 1]
I would sort of be curious to know who sees it and who doesn't. Could be relevant in the event we flip Fingers.

I find that people more often have problems with how I post (“hedgy” as nanook says) especially early, but I usually seem to make it pretty obvious I’m town within the first few days.Luckbox Inc wrote: ↑Wed Jul 07, 2021 2:24 pmI didn't feel like I had any trouble finding Fingers villagery in that game.NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME wrote: ↑Wed Jul 07, 2021 2:15 pm I didn't pay much attention to the last time I saw fingers as town (I had a n0 green check on her) but I'm pretty sure she's just hedgy like that as a person, its just how she speaks.

It's not even "hedgy". It's just a weird thing to say. If you haven't read the thread, then obviously you wouldn't know who you're going to vote.
But the way you said just feels all sorts of icky in the way I used to feel when I first learned what wolves sound like. We'll see though.

Re: basic mafia [DAY 1]
Ok so I’ve caught up on the thread. Pretty quick read. Gotta admit some of the paragraphs of Alison and DOO bickering about play styles there blurred a little bit for me and was uncomfortable.
I don’t think Alison is a wolf here, and nothing so far seems uncharacteristic for her. While I don’t agree with all of her voting reasons there, it’s still early and with not a lot having been going on it’s generated discussion and seems like she is the most actively scumhunting. All good things.
I don’t think I’ve ever played with DOO before, so not sure how to feel there.
If I had to give gut reads on a few more people based off the thread so far, I’d say feeling ok with nanook and Esooa as well, but that could change.

Re: basic mafia [DAY 1]
Well I disagree that it was that weird of a thing to say when in most mafia games I’ve played recently most of the thread is throwing out votes early left and right for little to no reasons or jokey votes. I don’t have any joke vote or little reason yet, so just was saying I don’t know who I’ll be voting for.Luckbox Inc wrote: ↑Wed Jul 07, 2021 4:05 pmYou saying that you were just checking in doesn't really respond to the accusation fwiw.fingersplints wrote: ↑Wed Jul 07, 2021 3:46 pmI was responding to Luckbox calling it wolfy.

The second post was shrugging it off and clarifying that I hadn’t read yet. Not much else I can say in response to someone calling it wolfy.

Perhaps if you just keep focused on me, don't ever really give any reasons for thinking I'm a wolf, and don't talk about other people, then I might eventually come to think you're a wolf. You could try that.

Weren't you already thinking I was a wolf? Or did you back off of that in hopes I'd back off of you? It didn't work.

oh yeah Axehole can be a wolf, voting him.
Also, listed Seanzie twice...meant to just have him as "maybe". Probably though he's probably a villager.

Re: basic mafia [DAY 1]
@Esooa I'll policy vote with you.
I've been taught in my short time here that the correct play is:
- Play so that people can't point blame at you postgame
- Always vote on policy
- Never defend yourself in any way
- Town should always lose unless by coincidence the bad players are all mafia
And Guillotine thought I wouldn't learn my lesson...
