i'm pretty sure he's said that he read game 5 before this game started

is that the only reason you found the post villagery or was it the main reason

In theory I agree. However I have played with ppl jokingly stating they are wolf, when they are wolf. could be too small a sample. However even though you thoughts are correct if everyone thinks the same, I just think it is wrong to apply them yo a game with so many unknown ppl.

Also you didnt answer my first question in regards to exactly when we can expect you to participate

The latter. I wanted to townread Bomb for his first post, but you should all be good enough to fake something like that, so I dug a bit further before moving in to defend him.

Hmm. I think I like the way you're willing to reassess your opinion on the first part enough to back off for now.

This.

Did you see Acromatic's accusation before posting this?

Forcing interaction is always an excellent reason to do anything, fair enough then.

I thought I had more reasons.. But this was actually the only reason (but I think it is major).

Dont you agree with me?

If I had spent effort in reading up a game on beforehand and taking some kind of (maybe mental) notes, and i turned scum, then I would not use my notes that early to try and villaread one of the guys, that at least some people expect to be one of the best, when he was already under suspicion.

I dont know if im elaborating my thoughts correctly I just found that very villagery..

I disagree in theory. I think that you can sometimes read people you know by how they claim villager and the strength and conviction they say it. Like if a bunch of people claim it then someone already posting comes in and claims it to be cool that dude is a wolf 8 out of 10 times imo.

I like you want follow up gonna be excited if we're both town this game.

Is every post of yours going to be a multi quote this game?

Yes.

i don't think they're the same thing

banks was specifically looking for "happiness" in smartbomb's posts, which would probably be there if he said he was happy for rolling town

otoh, if he was only relieved to not roll scum, i don't think it necessarily make his posts "happier"

noted that you're different.

Well yes, but that only works in so far you know they are not balanced in their openings (as if they are not claiming villager the same way in both roles).

I think we are, Banks. And more importantly, I hope we are.

I think we strongly disagree on what constitutes fluff. This is chock full of specifics on how I view things, my personality, and why I will (probably repeatedly) yell at people for doing things with no strategic value.

I'll post some gifs eventually. I'll laugh at some of you unrelated to the game mechanics. But those are 1) necessarily outlets and 2) telling more of a person's personality to see them relax a bit when its tense, or if they never take their eye off the prize. It's fluff disguised as fluff that I don't like. And I posted this all so early because you all need to know who I am since I'm one of the new outsiders. That much personality freely volunteered? Not fluff. But vote as you wish, it's the nature of the game to jump on feels.

Banks > Is it true you played a mish mash here on 2+2 as scum? (think i've read it in spec chat) If that is the case, would you like to link to it. As I only have seen one villagergame of you, I dont want to risk making a wrong tell on you, if you could do the same things as scum.

We will see.

I was hoping to roll town with 5 different people. So far I have town reads on 2 of them so this is good.

I don't necessarily think Slendy wouldn't do it as mafia. We're all good players, I'm sure he's capable of it. But we have to start somewhere, and I like to start with the simpler answer, which is that same play is more likely to indicate same affiliation.

I did read games 4 and 5 before we started so I'd have some idea of what I was getting myself into.

yeah that's what i meant

your first thought would be weird because if he thought it was scummy he likely wouldn't have said it in the first place

i just interpreted it as him saying what he said was null (and i think that would've been the simpler interpretation) in response to people saying it could be a scum tell

Eastern standard time when I'm awake. Which will be mostly 5pm to 10am. Obviously varying based on day somewhat.I work mostly nights but do have a day shift or two. And yes that means the doctor plays during work haha.

And if you all notice, I didn't actually vote for that person for doing that (though I did grumpy-vote someone else, but that probably won't stay there). I was just pointing out that posts like that rub me the wrong way. But you don't lynch based on that. You just get a feel for who you're not comfortable with from that. Said a few times thay I realize this is a different culture and I have to adapt. But the post is full of good characterizations of how I think. So I object to it being called fluff.

well i agree that in theory it's a -ev thing to say as a wolf

but i don't think it makes it that villagery, especially if he's a person who isn't very used to giving many reads early in the game.

and like i said earlier, i didn't actually agree with the observation he made or why his observation even makes slendy a villager

I've played 2 scum mishmashes here and 3 town ones maybe 4 math is hard. Baldur's Gate (Can't find it looking back and spent too long searching) and Futurama I was scum in both games.

Personality does nothing though. It's just there. Usually one can relate their personality as the game goes on through actual, productive posts. Also yelling at people is just not going to cut it here. Like, if you want to get in a yelling match I will make it my personal mission to destroy your will to play the game. But let's be pleasant, not mean. It's much harder to play this game while being pleasant, but I find very rewarding. I can already sense you have a bit of an attitude so let's cut the crap and just play mafia by trying to find scum.

Vote stays though, mostly because it feels as if you are twisting in the wind a bit to try to explain how your posts haven't been fluffy so far.

wait, we're talking about pushing easy wagons as mafia right

why would anyone have to be a "good player" to be capable of that

didn't you say yourself that you thought that type of play was more likely to come from mafia

also, y u ignore the part of my post where i like, disagreed with you and stuff

But how many of these people do you really know? Also why woudon't all 13 people just make their first post be 'I'm a villager'. In this game set up with only cop villager and wolf the highest yield move is to have everyone claim villager. It's also completely useless strategically if everyone does it unless you know some of thsee people well (I know none of you).

I guess really tgis whole thing is sort of neither here not there. It's clear you guys do this stuff that baffles me as to why you would even bother, but it's just culture shock. I can't rightfully make much of it if everyone else thinks this is okay. Onto whatever my next point will be.

And to whomever asked if I saw my accusation before I posted? No. I'm posting at subway stops on.my way back to.my apartment. So I have service every few minutes and respond to whatever I was typing up when I last had service

I found it. Baldur's Gate

There is no yelling. Thats a calm and polite response (both objectively and for me). I call people out for bad strategic moves by calling them morons. None of that here yet.

And personality matters a ton. It's how I build.my entire game. The way you interact is everything. We will see if it's useful here, but I strongly suspect so.

I've played with road but not with the others on forums. I would care more about your reads on people in the game than your theory on the evolution on people saying the words "I'm villager" and the correlation that has on their alignment.
