I don't get the same sense from her here, of staying under the radar. I get more of a sense that she is genuinely reading the thread.

Talk to me more about this. What's a ninja-like post?

The best kind of post

I don't like this post, not saying it is a mafia post or pingy I just don't like it. We have just started day 1 how many accurate and true reads can you have at this point? In fact i'd be more suspicious of people who have any strong reads since it would imply buddying/mafia town reading people they think are town.

I feel like we are moving way to quickly for a day 1 and that it could cause harm to town in mid game.

I actually agree with this, I've read day 0 and have gotten very little from it so far.

MovingPictures07 wrote:sig, all due respect, don't take my response as rude. It isn't intended that way. I just cannot possibly disagree with you more on that matter; it is unfathomable to me that anyone could think that the current activity for this game is bad for the town.

Furthermore, I didn't ask Boomslang for accurate or true reads. I find it suspicious that you are misconstruing my post as that, especially in conjunction with the fact that you say you don't like it but you don't mafia read it. I was trying to get a feel for him. I still am. I am with everyone. Reads cannot be even remotely accurate if no one pokes anyone else. I am trying to get reads on everyone I can; that's how you play the game of mafia. I think that's been a running theme in my posts, so for you to interpret my post the way that you did (saying that no one can have accurate reads) is outwardly misrepresentation or misunderstanding, and I'm inclined to believe the former at the moment.

Scotty wrote:Congratulations Jay, you've broken down my Day 0 as a neutral party. It was an interesting experiment, because yes, I did depart from my normal meta. Except did I really? I haven't committed to voting anyone, and my normal day 1 is going to go after low posters. Nothing new here.

This is less believable to me in this game than it would be in most games because it has become trendy

Oh, has it? I did this in mad max and don't remember anyone doing it recently before that. But I'll be a trendsetter, sure.
I know I can't prove it, but I don't really care to impress you explicitly. Anyway, I looked at my role at the start of Day 1 and can keep this day 0 in my back pocket.

Just skimming through, I have vague notions that MP is probably good. Ironically, I have liked INH's posts- they've had a nice fluidity and logical mindset. But I can't help but think he's being safe with his points---well guarded and fleshed out so as to say "look at me, world! I'm a newspaper and the headline is Me"

Far more interested in bwt, who i have had a hand in killing or voting for in the first day/might cycle several times now. He had some thorough posts up until that post where he posted his strongest convictions which turned out to have as much verve as Gigli. Then he dropped off the face of the earth.

Since votes are changeable, I'm voting there for now. Will see if he comes back in to post stuff about riffraff.

bwt

As for my first post of you being bad, JJJ? Meh. Gut read off of an impartial viewer if the first few pages told me you were trying too hard but not hard enough. Wallflowerjng, for jay standards. Which is remarkably saying a lot.

Another gut baddie is Sloonei, who seems to be hiding behind some grumpy, Epi-like persona.

You can not like it; I don't care. I'm trying to generate content.

What sort of things do you think a typical baddie might do on Day 1?

Play like they usually would as a civilian, except while townreading their own teammates, explicitly or otherwise.

So is there anything in particular you are looking out for today? Loosely justified town reads, perhaps?

Definitely that.

Also I feel like there's a glut of, to borrow a term, content that is swirling around, based mostly on semantics and the usual Day 0 nonsense. Except, this Day 0 nonsense is being treated as news-of-the-world, insanely important stuff that is being beaten bloody like the rotting horse corpse it is. It's hard for me to read all of this and not see it as misdirection and intentional confusion on some level, especially when the main targets seem to be sig, BWT, and Scotty, who may as well change their avatars to bullzeyes for how they are usually treated.

This isn't good content.

It's, like, American cable news content.

Just rehashing and obsessing and poking at nothing.

So you are okay with Scotty repeatedly ignoring that he has been asked to clarify one seeming contradiction in a post he made?

If I suspected you, that wouldn't be 'unfortunate', and I wouldn't be cryptic about it.

I agree with everything sig has said about how the amount of content based on what I perceive to be little to no substance could easily be used to confuse and mislead the town.

Why don't you suspect me for having this opinion, which I've repeatedly stated, if you suspect sig for having it?

But see here is the issue when does generating content turn into overposting which makes people less interested and more confused? I'm not sure if you're doing this now but it is a strategy you've employed in the past, it's day 1 and you already have 200 posts. I know town MP does this as well, but it is perhaps one of your best skills as a mafia member as well.

I don't like Scotty's vote on bwt or Sloonie's. He is a low fruit early on time and time again.

Losing our minds? I can't speak for MP, but my mind is far from lost on this. It's an intriguing development that I am keeping an eye on.

I also am of the opinion that semantics and player behavior can shine some light on very critical clues as early as Day 0 in this game. So while you've been accusing players like MP and myself of trying to confuse or misdirect the thread, you yourself are giving off the appearance of attempting to subvert our own scum hunting techniques by calling them nonsense and pointing fingers at us for playing our respective games.

Sorry, we already have a Bullzeye on this site

Though you make a good point. We need to have a broad approach this early, not zoom in on targets.

Because I perceived sig as twisting my words; I don't suspect him for that opinion. I find the opinion 100% disagreeable, but I don't suspect people I disagree with, or I try not to anyway if there's no other reason to. I suspect sig because I feel like he's misrepresenting me completely. I have not found you to be doing that.
