I don't think you'd find the spirit of the latter with any of the SEs in this game, but perhaps you will find it in others.
I usually go for the greatest challenge I can, and Newbie games serve both as breaks while I wait for strong tables and as chances to help shape players who will grow far beyond me one day.

Why, pretty hard to say at this stage, isn't it? ;P Positive on Prism so far, I think WINfried looks good, the
most
minor of not postive vibes off Dragons for only meming, but it's too early for anyone else. Except.. hmmm...

Why prod at Save The Dragons to RVS but feel that, for you, "a vote is [not] the best instinctual way to help you sort at the moment"? I feel like some of your questioning so far looks more like it's for filling space than getting useful answers and starting points for play.

To add to
Prism
Nah, newbies give a new perspective on the game usually and it's refreshing.
You guys also aren't poisoned by site meta so it's sometimes more fun haha

Of course it's filling space, it's getting conversation going.
I mindmeld with your perception with
Winfried
because they seem enthused. I didn't prod
Dragons
to vote exactly but I wanted to see his mentality toward this game because he's not a player I have an easy understanding of meta-wise.
Prism
seems lower temperature than my recent experience with them but this also pretty early and the game I reference was very different in terms of playerlist and mechanics.

What exactly is wrong with filling space at this point in the game, it’s how you create a situation that we actually can evaluate alignment in? Unless of course, maybe your alignment would prefer that doesn’t happen.VOTE: frogsfrogs

I was talking about "filling space" in a TMI sort of way, as opposed to saying and asking things that gave better results. You can disagree with that being your read of Taly's posts! But trying to stop conversation is definitely not what I was trying to do. I like his response to this now, anyways. Do yoooou have a reason you needed to leap to his defense?

TMI? That’s an extremely strange term to use. The active goal of the town is to get as much information as possible while the goal of the mafia is to keep that from happening. Not sure why any town is would be concerned about there being
too much
information.

I was fishing to see how you’d react, but thanks to the TMI comment I’m interested in pursuing this angle more seriously.
a term that is used and is a valid thing to read on. Scum have incentive to create content, too, because they have to look townie. It's the quality of the information as well as the quantity that's important, and posting game relevant but empty content is potentially scum indicative. Again, not something I even think about Taly anymore, and I'm certainly a newbie here too, but you're misunderstanding me or

I’m sorry but I don’t understand. What you seem to describe as TMI here wouldn’t be information it’d just be fluff presented as information. I don’t know if that’s just me not understanding or something that actively doesn’t make sense about the term or what. The way I see it I’d only consider meaningful information as information and in that scenario there can’t possibly be TMI, but at this point I think I’m getting into semantics not even with a player’s own terminology but with site terms, assuming that actually is one (I’ll check the wiki).
I guess drawing attention to yourself by flashy behaviour and suggesting you might hold a special role isn't a clear sign you are mafia, might be a sign you're not clinging to much to your virtual life though. But I'm not the fun police (for now ).
I do wonder though, was it a mere coincidence that you showed up again right after I poked you with a stick?

Good luck with grad school, it's stressful but really fun
Also, looks like everyone except Ishrar has posted. To me it feels like they're genuinely absent then trying to lay low. Isharrrrr, come post so we can get infooooo

Why did you need to imply you’re a PR right off the bat? I believe you as I think that’s way too bold a move for the mafia to pull, but I don’t see what it’s accomplished aside from putting a target on your back for tonight.

I’m assuming we’re not far off from a prod and eventual replacement of them so we should be hearing from them soon enough either way.

I think outing an expectation of more hyperagression/tilt in response to bad pushes on me, on page 2, is counterproductive if you're hoping to read me with it. I had the only vaguely serious vote as a bonus.
