That said...and this is probably a stupid question (and I'll probably get flack for it, but whatever). But, uh, are we supposed to be doing anything? There's no poll, but is there any sort of day 0 exercise that I missed? Do we know how we get to day 1 (or night 1, depending on which comes first)?

Hunting for mafia fellow townies. That's what we're supposed to be doing.

But seriously, no Day 0 poll or anything, just check in time... I believe.

How do other people feel about that line?
I don't feel great about it.

What's wrong with it? I've been clear about implementing POE this game.

Civvie hunting isn't what is bothering me

Then I'm confused. Which part of it bothered you?

The word, "fellow".

Although recently I've uncovered that POE naturally describes my recently developed playstyle because I much more easily find town reads than I do baddie reads, I've never formally used POE before.

I'll be using POE exclusively this game, and I'd like to approach it both as an individual (with my rainbow lists like I usually do) but as a group this time.

Who wants to join me?

tbh what does this mean tbh

Stated as simply as possible, POE ("process of elimination") takes the typical strategy of a town player (to hunt for members of the mafia) and flips it on its head (instead hunt for fellow townies).

The theory behind POE is that town can win due to the fact that it has a majority, and if members of the town can collectively use POE to clear enough of each other from consideration of being mafia, then the only players that haven't been cleared are the mafia.

A player can approach POE on an individual level, like I've usually been doing more so these days in the beginning of the game when I state "here are 5 town reads", etc., and then when it comes time to vote I just vote among the players I haven't found any reason to call town.

Multiple players can approach POE on a group level with specific intent of using POE (something I have not yet participated in), and assuming those players can town-clear each other, they will then work with each other collectively to cross-examine each other's town reads to develop a consensus suspect pool. For example, if there are 10 players, and I (as Player #1) have town reads on Players #3, 5, 7, and 8, and Players #3 and #5 who also are using POE have town reads on Players #2, 4, 5, and 9, then that leaves a consensus suspect pool of only Players #6 and #10, since neither of those players are being town read by any of the players utilizing POE. All of the POE-utilizing players would then decide on either #6 or #10 for their votes.

Ah so basically a town circle?

NO NO NO ANNNNNND NO!

This is perhaps one of my least favorite methods of hunting mafia whether it is winning dead or alive or not. Mainly since if one mafia gets in the town circle aka 100% cleared we will listen to them buddy buddy, then they can screw up the whole game. I've seen it happen quite a few times so we should be very wary if we're going to employ this strategy.

So while it can work I don't think we should put to much stock in POE to early in the game.

You over-eager cuz you bad, m8?

wanna pick some more?

It's a cherry pick if MP dominates the early post count this much in every game, and I don't think he does. Indeed other than Transistor I might say the other most applicable comparison is to the Scrimmage (I can't remember his precise post count comparatively; I just remember it being very high very early). It doesn't make him bad, but it's worth throwing some poop.

Good point from JJJ, Dom's post is pingy. MP is more than able to defend himself from what was only a statement by 3J, so why jump in?

Because I found it suspect.

LOL, that's funny because I've been throwing around a few posts with that vibe just to kind of be silly. (like my post where I said "kids" earlier even though I'm younger than at least half of you all). :P

Dom, why does the use of the word fellow bother you? I don't follow.

To be fair, I figured this would start as just a couple of thoughts. But then it turned into a stream-of-consciousness view of the thread so far. So I guess I have stronger/more opinions than I figured I would. Especially given how long it usually takes me to come up with more than just one or two ideas as to what I think is going on.

And yes, that was a very poor and contradictory word choice on my part. I will admit that. But I was just giving MP a response to his question to me and not really thinking about how I was wording it.

Going to go hit the gym and eat dinner, and then I should be available for most of the evening.

I also found it responsive in the moment. MP asked 'why now', and Jay did have an answer, but I wasn't entirely convinced.

On the flip side, it's almost TOO transparent for Jay to go 'shit, golden put me on low heat, I better put some reads out then'. He can't have expected it would go by without being called out. So in some ways, it made me feel a little better about him.

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: Sloonei's initial work in suggesting I have been a waffler of sorts was a nice workload for Day 0. I do think though that his choices for highlighting left room for contextual problems (highlighting a word or two that only loosely apply to the stated premise of tentativeness). I also think the core expectation of confidence from anyone, JJJ or not, in a Day 0 lean is rather bunk. So Sloonei should answer for that.

Your tentative language was the thing that stood out most to me when I was reading the thread and I wanted to make a note of that so everyone could look at it and share their thoughts.
It wasn't that you struck me as lacking confidence in any reads on Day 0. That's not a thing I'd fault anyone for. It was that you seemed to be lacking confidence when people questioned you about things you had previously said, and that's not a great look on Day 0, or Day 1, or Day 8.

I have no conclusion, other than to say that I have not yet concluded that I have a town read on you, which I often do by this point. I don't think that makes the dabs and pokes devoid of worth, though.

You made a series of posts back in 1996 (aka the first few pages of this game) where you expressed your lack of confidence in calling out people for being bad so you instead would resort to calling people good.

Anyone can call anyone good. You may be an idiot savant with calling people good correctly more often, but this isn't alignment indicative and I feel like it's an easy cop out for scum hunting.

Not to say you aren't scumhunting, but that pinged me hard.

I'm not really sure, but it strikes me as potentially fabricated. Here's why: Of literally all of my 130+ posts that Dom could have responded to, he chose to zero in on the use of my word "fellow" in one post. Not my use of POE (which Scotty and Wilgy criticized as a potential tool for me to hide behind if I'm bad, for example, even though you all should know better that my baddie strategy is never to hide a damn thing). Not my treatment of any other players.

It also strikes me as potentially fabricated given Dom's lamentation earlier in the game regarding not being able to develop any reads with Day 0 content. Townie Dom picks at things and finds pings, even in the most unlikely places; that's what makes him an astute player. There has been plenty of relatively meaty content so far in this game for him to poke at, so for him to finally come out and again zero in on not liking my use of "fellow", among literally everything, just doesn't compute to me.

Lastly, I find his most recent response to me (of just "ok") confusing. I'm not sure how he is trying to get a read on me with this conversation.

Dom and I are very different people though; if our thoughts were two sides of the same brain, I think that brain would overload due to cognitive dissonance. Consequently, I don't feel we are necessarily very effective at reading each other in these games. The only time I was even remotely accurate about him in recent memory was Mad Max.

So all of that to say the whole ordeal pings me a bit... but I'm far from wanting to stick a pitchfork into Dom at this time.

I think I recognize the first song in the Day 1 recording... is that Dzyan or Dom (the band, not the player) or something like that?

Also, Golden, I'm confused.

I do actually see your point - MP, why assume LoRab is a civvie? Surely that's implied by saying 'fellow civvies'?

I wasn't talking about LoRab. There's no implication.

I'm saying the job at hand is to find mafia, then I scratched that out and said fellow townies, because that's what I'm doing, because POE. It was supposed to be a joke.

I concur.

What do you think of Dom raising it?

Explain to me how these two posts of yours are coming from the same mindset.
