Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.
I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?

We're at E-1 again. If this is serious, I'd want to know the reasoning behind it.

Since y'all Einsteins decided to put me at E-1, I might as well share my thoughts before some opportunist decides to seal the deal.

More townlean than scumlean:

hops

This would be the last person for me to vote out at this very moment. They sound like genuine vanilla town newbie. The tone of their posts seems like they actually want to solve this game in town's favour and that's good enough for the time being.

Neutral:


Binatog13
DaTacoX
kennyk
Not_Mafia

These folks have a higher chance of being scum, but don't seem to give me anything to suspect them (yet). DaTaco is the most neutral of them all, Binatog being a close second. I know kennyk from a different game and their playstyle so far matches that of the other game. Not_Mafia is just a shitposter and there's nothing more to it.

More on the err side:

Jake The Wolfie
catboi
MegAzumarill

For semi-experienced players they've contributed surprisingly little to this game. I know it's still Day One, but in the last game I've played the SEs were on a much higher level. My vote is currently on MegAzumarill, but I'm down to vote out either one of those three.

That's what I gathered from what was posted so far.

Why does my playstyle match that of the other game? I didn't post any wild theories (yet). OK, maybe that is because there wasn't much to wave theories around. Although hops tried to step in my footsteps with her Wolfie theory.

It's less about the content and more about the feel of your posts. I cannot get much more from just five posts (there were five at the time of posting of my readslist). They all sound and read similarly to me to Newbie 2078 (it has since ended so now I think we can talk more freely about it), a game in which we both were town.

That doesn't mean that I am sure you're definitely town. It's just you don't stand out for me at all as much as SEs stand out for doing very little. In Newbie 2078, I was playing under the assumption that it's impossible to get a good read Day One, but to my surprise SEs started going after people. Even though I've played mafia before finding this site, I'm still legally a newbie here and from what I've gathered, the purpose of SEs in the Newbie Games is to guide and sort of role model the newbies. The SEs here are three idle fluffposters and a jester-like shitposter lol. I bet at least one of these four is on the scumteam.

The way I see things right now is that Meg and Jake are some of my lowest picks with Not_Mafia and Binatog behind them.

Meg and Jake's posts have mostly boiled down to: let's vote this person because it is a "good idea".
Meanwhile, Not_Mafia and Binatog are mostly just chiming in with nothing to add. Same could be said for most of us though. (-.-)

There are too few posts from everybody right now to really judge each other properly, so a lot of this is just speculation that's been simplified down.

To be fair, it is still pretty early in day 1 though, so starting wagons without a good reason isn't actually that incriminating is it?

Starting wagons for essentially no reason at all is very common early day 1.

That said Greeting is legitimately giving off scum vibes to me.

I already mentioned the comment about the N_M wagon feeling LAMIST.
They then ignored my next question to them about what they think the SEs should be doing if not what is happening now, which feels contrary to their stated interest of generating content for the game.

Nah.

Funny enough, I went to check his other games, saw he was more talkative in another one, then realized he was mafia in that one. But he's been more talkative in all his games, so I'm not really taking that as meaningful.

It's possible he's just not had much to say because of the slow start to the game but I don't think "playstyle" is a good reason to block scumreads on someone. Had a player I was scumreading in a prior game get shielded for playstyle reasons, turned out to actually be mafia.

I expect he'll become readable over time anyway, but right now I'm fine with throwing my vote on him.

I would not categorize what I've been doing as "fluff", I've been pretty serious so far. I think it's a mistake to assume everyone with the SE tag is going to play the same, the only requirement is to have a certain number of games completed. Not everyone plays the same way.

My general preference in the early game is to hang back and observe, because I hate forcing content and don't want to be misinterpreted. However, it looks like the players in this game tend toward the quiet side, aside from maybe hops, so I'm probably going to have to take a bit more initiative here.

Unfortunately I don't really support the wagon on you but not really think Meg is scum for driving it, so that leaves me in a bit of an uncertain position with how to advance the game.

Funnily enough, despite it being said that I'm being active, I still got a prod PM. Anyways, I'd have to play many more games here before I can even have a sense for the scumtells here, so I'm just going to go with guesses for my reads.

Townlean:
catboi - Everyone is playing really passive right now so I'm not getting any exceptionally pro-town reads from anyone, but if I went with my instinct I'd go with him. He's been scumhunting slightly and seems to be trying to elicit more reactions from people.
MegAzumarill: Same as catboi.

Neutral:
Not_Mafia - I do feel like N_M is generating much less content than I expected, but I haven't looked through his post history too much. Maybe he picks up more on day 2. If he is scum I feel like we'd get more reads from him once he starts "scumhunting" on day 2, so if possible I'd want to find the other scum first. That and also he's still a null read for me.
Greeting - I'm not really sold on people thinking he's scumlean, if anyone actually thought so. Seems to me that he was placed on E-1 just to elicit a reaction, which had happened.
Binatog13 - Out of the entire thread, this is the only post he has made so far that has any real content:
In post 58, Binatog13 wrote:I don't know much about these players, so idk how to read them, even NM. I only know NM for posting such long rainbow lyrics and Jester intro every game.
Now I'm not sure if that means anything, but I'd really want more to go on from him too.
VOTE: Binatog13

Honestly I had been sitting here for like half an hour trying to think of something useful to say about the others but there's just simply not enough posts for me.

I almost thoght you would forget me again and I was ready to post on that. But your last line saved it.

But if I read your list correctly, you have Binatog13 in the neutral department and there are others in your "I don't know what to think about them at all-department" but you still vote the neutral one. I can understand that you would like to get more info from him. But why no vote on someone you have absolutely no feeling about? (Yes, I know this would include me)
