Sorry, I'm being snippy and rude

I'm just a little annoyed by the amount of mech talk in the pre-game, and how that seems like it'll be continuing quite a bit into Day 1. I'd rather people play like it's a normal game for a while and then if we have to, do the mech talk after we actually have some content on the board. It's very frustrating to try to get anything AI out of empty questions like "do we wanna try a strategy to improve our odds or is there not a way to do so?"

Because like 1. No duh we want to improve our odds within reason, and whether or not there is a way to do so will become evident as more people check in and give their thoughts

2. it becomes a mask for giving actual content about the game, stalls out RVS, and gives the appearance of looking productive and town without actually having to risk anything

Fair enough, but usually I like to go in with a plan. It's absolutely true that scum sometimes speculate about mechanics instead of hunt, I'm doing both(I'm just not saying anything about it because they're vague initial impressions). but in this case I'm also trying to use this speculation as a means to evaluate other's responses too. It can be a tool to keep scum off balance especially if you can use mechanics to pressure scum into unoptimal moves.

But I do get it.

Sure. Oka spam posts as either alignment, I'm not sure if he's town or not here, I think it was a nice touch if he's scum that he "tried" to control his posting and enthusiasm. Overall though I do think his start out of thinking "oh shit, I rolled town in a scum-sided set up, but I love this shit" is kind of coming off as genuine to me.

You I'm not sure if you're posturing/hewing too close to the town norm/purist version to be town, but I wouldn't really know. Your question to me is largely open ended and it depends on the player to respond well rather than definitively determine my own alignment. So thanks for the opportunity, but I don't feel much.

DGB is being DGB. This is a challenging set up and I wonder if they joined because they want to improve at their hunting or hope to gain something here, since I kind of screwed up last game I was in with them. I'm not sure how that emotional component will effect them this game.

I kinda felt the snipe by what's their face was very low hanging fruit. But in RVS, I really can't hold that against them. Could be town trying to generate content, could be scum trying to generate content without really asking me anything. I'll just keep an eye with people I don't know and people I do know that's what I prefer to do.

The yellow alt guy, is interesting they're saying something relatively new But I'm not sure what to make of it. Unique takes aren't particularly townie or scummy to me, rather they launched off with their own opinions without waiting and seeing what everyone else thinks. Which is probably a good rule of thumb as either alignment.

@Lavar: The dynamic of using players to communicate what is going on in separate neighborhoods.

Can you explain why DGB is here and what elevates it above other players that have posted so far?
I like the way DGB said Oka was town - DGB sounded like it was very happy about this townread.

When I get a townread I feel very happy and since DGB also felt very happy I think it must also be town like me !

In post 11, OkaPoka wrote:okay about the setup: obviously if we were perfect we'd figure out a way to create a list of townreads, congregate all the top townreads on each wagon and concentrate the powers such that the townreads are always on the wagon together but uh yeah hmm 17p all agreeing just isnt it so i guess what im saying is that president dannflor needs to charm us all into salvation and we just need to pray that dann rolled town

Could you expand on what you mean here. It's honestly too vague for me to quite understand the point you're trying to make?
Seems a bit like he’s against breaking the setup

So I don’t expect I’ll be very good at directly breaking the setup but I should be able to be a questions asker at times as well as someone to just get stuff done

I'm not against breaking the setup or mech talk on principle

I'm against people trying to do that to substitute playing the game

Oka: the point about him trying to reign himself in is good - he posts a lot of posts and says a lot of nice words so he's a very easy town read to throw out early and it's good you're aware of that

me: I'm a little unclear what you mean here. are you expecting me to try and definitively determine your alignment right now?
