Been procrastinating. Don't want to deal with having to commit. Funny thing is I wanted to sleep last night without thinking about the result, now it's too close and I'm not going to be able to sleep without making a decision, because otherwise I'm going to be thinking about it.

I'm not the right person to be put into this spot, not at this moment in time. I believe that generally SEs in newbie games should serve as models for player to the newerplayers. There's a lot of stuff I was taught you
should
do in this situation - reread the whole game, ask both players questions, maybe test for reactions - that I haven't really done here. Not really going to do the whole spiel as to why, but something like I said yesterday, lack confidence in my own ability to get anything useful out of it.


I don't think zefiend's arguments have been convincing. I know voting for who "played better" is often a trap but I can't really justify voting otherwise. Even though I can look at things from both angles, don't really have a great way of deciding.

I think that most simply, as scum with no established meta on this site I wouldn't have to try as hard. I also haven't played mafia in about 8 years, I don't think there's any shot that I would have been able to keep my thought process coherent and not come off sounding super artificial for this whole game, and would probably end up having a lower post volume as a result. I don't make that void vote as scum. I bus Dunn yesterday to stay consistent with my prior thoughts instead of taking the time to really figure things out. I'm also pretty sure there was a point yesterday where me and cape were both leaning towards you being scum and could have voted there, but as town I wanted to give you another chance to respond. zefiend has taken very little initiative towards actually solving the game and finding scum, and I feel like it's been clear that I have.

Once again, thank you all for playing! I hope you enjoyed the game. I enjoyed hosting it for you!

You're encouraged to keep playing newbies as long as you like, of course, but I humbly suggest trying out some of the other queues, if you're feeling brave and would like to check out other game styles and sizes!

If you liked the "solve the setup" interactions with a semi-open setup like the NewD3 setup, check out the open queue!
viewtopic.php?p=13220012#p13220012



There's also the Micro Queue! 9 Players Maximum, and all sorts of setups!
viewtopic.php?p=13221984&user_select%5B ... #p13221984

One of the games currently in sign-ups in this queue is a "Blitz" game with shorter deadlines.



Prefer to keep things a little more secret, and try out a larger pond? Try the Mini Normal queue!
viewtopic.php?p=13220321&user_select%5B ... #p13220321



Would you like to try out a high-flavor and/or mechanically complex game? The Mini Theme queue might be just right for you!

Right, glad sticking to my first impulse and not trying to overdo it turned out to be the correct path - seemed like the obvious solution but been shell shocked enough times that I get so
nervous
.

GG everyone, thanks for playing.
