Because I'm not you. :] I keep to myself in games I'm not confident about.

I am actually quite interested in the mechanics of this game, though. What's the usual meta for Mini Theme games that have a closed setup?

It's just that it felt sorta like a leading question to me. Like you expected Tris to be townreading skitter and scumreading me for not posting or something

idk why you'd do that as scum, but I'm confused by it in general. Especially since you know I'm often not available until the evening and it's weird to see you talking to somebody else about my lack of activity as if you aren't aware of that
(Don't make fun of me for this, but) I didn't mention that you had been at work when I questioned tris because I was suspicious of that reading based on complete lack of inactivity, but — it's irrelevant now, it was a joke that sailed over my head like a headless flying chicken.

FWIW

as an identically new player I'm interested in the setup stuff but don't really feel like I can participate in it or constructively comment on it, so I can understand it contributing to newbie stage fright
I missed this post, but yeah, this sums it up

In post 1, funkybike1 wrote:Game-Specific Information and Role Interactions
37. This is a closed setup... for the most part. Some elements of the setup are public and listed below.
38. There are two Jailkeepers in this setup. The first time they both target each other, they are both protected. The second and subsequent times, they are both roleblocked and not protected.
39. The Mafia is the only groupscum faction in this game. There may or may not be additional scum or third-party factions.
40. There are no bastard elements in this game; I will never deliberately lie to you outside the bounds of normal gameplay. All investigative roles are Sane unless they are explicitly told they have a chance to be non-Sane.
41. There are no Cults, Survivors, Jesters, or Unjesters. The role you receive is the role and alignment you will have for the entire game unless your role PM specifically tells you otherwise.
42. This game begins on Night 0. No killing actions may be taken on Night 0, but all other Night actions may take place.
K so I have a couple questions regarding this:

- I saw the speculation on the alignment of the double JK earlier but I've never suspected that they could be any alignment other than town. If mod wanted roleblocking scum, wouldn't they just make them Mafia RB? Unless mod wanted to purposely misread town by making one scum JK?
- If mafia is the only groupscum faction and there's additional scum, does that mean that scum is in a third-party? Are they the only scum of that hypothetical third-party?
- Third-party factions indicate roles like SK or Survivor iirc? I haven't ever played in any games with those roles, what's the meta?

don't feel intimidated, other people here just played a few more games than you, is all :) in a few games from now *you'll* be the experienced player :)

wrt the latter sentence - i feel like a lot of the discussion has been about this game too? not sure that mafia theory has really been dominating this game so far. where do u see that happening?

Shiidaji: i liked insomnia's entrance and agreed with what he said about both elephant and Percy, two players i'm townreading so far. and he feels good, feels organic.
you feel marginally less good and less organic with the focus you've chosen right now, and i have to echo insomnia's point of you appearing to make judgements based on what you think someone's playstyle should be rather than what it actually is. you can contrast that with what i feel from insomnia with a genuine desire to understand.

it's great to see you as well! i hope we can have a fun game together again. <3
This is an improvement.

UNVOTE:
i dont' like this trajectory on chara much at all really
I don't like that you don't like this.

Can you elaborate?

I'm terrible at physics.
you voted them for having 'dull' posts.
chara's posts became better in (i presume u mean have more content? more original takes?), so you unvoted

i kinda felt like your chara vote was at least semi-serious but when you pushed there and they posted content you just ... dropped the vote without engaging anywhere else. i feel like town, who finds that their semi-serious vote (which presumably was used to try to pressure and/or push someone, like you did with chara here, by voting them for having 'dull' posts) becomes invalidated or negated for whatever reason, would then try to find some other place to engage or push (not necessarily by voting again but by at least pushing/engaging elsewhere) but you didn't

your engagement just kinda fizzled out there when you dropped the chara vote and it felt kinda .... flat. or like lacking the inquisitive mindset that prompts town to sort people

idk i hope that makes sense

what don't you like about the fact that i didn't like this
