yo were getting some actual activity here!

Meg's posts are awfully loose, I'm good with my vote being parked there for now.

Petapan has swooped in and is really pushing the game along.

VOTE: esires

Although, this was odd. You quickly moved to juice after this. Was this first vote random or a gut-read?

this is very slightly >rand town

Also what does this mean? I'm not up to date on terminology

This was also odd. Random? I only now just noticed the wordplay now that I quoted it....so yeah probably random. Still for a second I thought this was E-1! Only E-2 right now.

FG might be my only strong town read so far. Petapan is looking good too.

Essentially it means it is more likely town than what you would expect.

Since from a town POV 2/3 off other players are town it means its more than 2/3 likely to come from town than from scum.

Math may not completely check out here but that's the idea.

I don't think I agree with hard townreading furtive here since everything they have done at this point is within their scumrange (or stuff that they would do while playing as scum)

What's wrong with it, too serious too quickly?
The idea that it's self referential in a way, like here are two players mobing the game early so they are town, where they also do the same thing.

Can I get this case straight please:
So you're saying I am town reading Furtive and BS2000 because they are moving the game along - and by town reading them I'm essentially doing the "look at me I'm town thing."? Have I got that straight?

How do you feel about this post:

From furtive?

Can I ask how what's your mafia experience Meg?

I'm going to go ahead and VOTE: Juice

Effectively. It's obviously not solid in any sense, but its enough to be a little offputting.

Well I've played on site for about a year, played for a bit offsite previously. Have a lot of TOS hours logged on steam.

So I'd say moderately experienced.

OK fine. Feels extremely thin to me.

What do you think of that furtive post? I'm not accusing just curious.

MegAzumarill · Post Post #58 (ISO) » Mon Aug 22, 2022 10:01 am

I don't feel strongly about furtive's post either way. It's filler but also obvious filler.

Post 28 is thin
shocker

In actuality I can see myself making that kind of post as scum a lot more than I might as town, so it's a little bit of projection there.

Ok fair, so you feel like it's slightly more scummy to make really early town reads vs townie?

Actually no I don't need you to answer, Azumarill is town too, game just got that bit easier.

had kind of a gut feeling then decided it would be more productive poking at juice

In post 51, BS2000 wrote:Also what does this mean? I'm not up to date on terminology

above random chance to be town. essentially i think that esires saying they don't care if they're the first wagon is a very mild towntell.

MegAzumarill · Post Post #63 (ISO) » Mon Aug 22, 2022 10:17 am

Why do you think its a towntell?

Lol a Newbie game with no true newbs in it now.

@Mod can we get a current votecount?

I think we have 3 on Juice and 3 on esires?

Starting to get townvibes from Meg's exchange with FancyPants. Need to see more from Juice/Bulba/BBT. There's scum somewhere in there.

furtiveglance · Post Post #67 (ISO) » Mon Aug 22, 2022 11:35 am

This is the kind of post that I'd probably make as scum, feels a bit safe. Maybe with your partner in the 3 'sus' players but never follow up on it.

I feel like scum!BS here probably doesn't reverse like this.

As with the sus players sure the post could be distancing of some sort, but it feels like a jump to call it that right now

didn't care about pressured, lack of concern more likely from someone with nothing to hide, not worried they've been caught. again, minor but have to start someplace

the newest players are in fact the SEs. well, and juice if xe ever comes back to this game

this is the fastest i have ever been townread in a game

don't really think it's warranted but w/e. don't find myself more suspicious of the people doing it

On a reread of this thread (thank goodness it's only three pages), I do not really see what FP said as alignment indicative.

In post 34, petapan wrote:on second thought

VOTE: Juice

you seem to be avoiding the game. why is that?

full disclosure: i jumped in because a newbie game needing 3 subs in pregame is kind of a disaster and the game was likely to with from inactivity if no one filled in. this site has a hard enough time keeping newbies around as it is. so my goals for this game are: 1. make it fun for the newer players 2. win the game for the town

to that end while i realize the activity rules only require a post every 36 hours, if those of you who are around could step it up and post more frequently, that would be good. doesn't matter if it's trivial, just get some thoughts out there. we can't develop reads on the slots who haven't posted but we can try to read the people who are actually present, there's no need to wait around and be idle

I will say that a weakness of mine is being too trusting of people that appear pro-town, as peta appears in this post. This whole "just get some thoughts out there" is something that I like as I see it as helping encourage people to move the game forward.

Bulbazoor · Post Post #73 (ISO) » Mon Aug 22, 2022 12:44 pm

Going based off of vibes, I don't really like furtive that much and I need to see more from juice.

i can probably guess why you're doing this but explain it anyway?
It was actually a serious vote rather than plainly RTing, I left it naked to see what the reaction would be. Meg already felt different from Mewbie 2092 in this game, more jokey in a way.
nah that was what i figured your reason was actually, just wanted to hear it in your own words
In post 39, Bulbazoor wrote:I am liking peta's entrace into the game so far. I'm gonna go with my dVOTE: esires.
this is good, because there is no reason whatsoever to distrust me
Did you think my vote was serious or a reaction test?

At this stage of the game, I would have just assumed it was RVS. Why was this line of questioning something you saw worth pursuing?
