Less than 24 hours remain. 

I'm going on a date so behave. 

Byeeeee

Hey everyone, I’m Jamie, looking forward to playing with you.
You might have been able to guess but I’ve played with ExLight before, but I don’t think I’ve had the pleasure of playing with anyone else here before.

My current thoughts on everything that’s happened so far in thread is that:

• Luka has looked good to me, actively trying to create discussion and general response to everything is making me town lean them.
• With JJJ and Callahan’s argument I think JJJ looks better to me, I agree with the point that early reads should be taken with a pinch of salt, but eventually you should be having full confidence in your reads.
• Caitlin and Ex look fine to me as of right now
• Leesbra I do not have a confident read on but they have been towny enough so far, their earlier stance on post activity I did not agree with and it felt kinda coasty to me with the “locked” town read from Luka.
• For everyone else I do not yet have an opinion on them.

Some of this pinged me. Let's talk about it, Jamie.

The first two bullets are a bit lukewarm for lack of a better word. The view about Luka strikes me as defaulted. I'm not sure Luka had to clear much of a barrier to reach this town lean. And I'm not sure the view about me "looking better" is coming from the right stuff in my argument with callahan. I may indeed be right about the idea that early game confidence is allowed to be relaxed, but I'm not sure why that would make me look better (i.e., look more town, assuming that is the intended interpretation). That's a philosophy more than it's a read. I'd appreciate if you could expand on these things.

Alright, sure!

Luka- Initial interactions I felt were good. Getting confident early reads out there is something that I like, quite towny imo. Has less of a barrier to clear to be town leaned because trusting someone is so much easier than not trusting them.

JJJ- Points made in argument were good, points against I did not agree with as much. “Trying too hard” was one I definitely didn’t agree with, explaining potential reasoning on reads to others is greatly appreciated, also just general vibe I am liking a lot.

Hey, sorry for being gone essentially the whole day. After seeing some of the recent posts, i’m gonna try and- what I would say is read but is more of a guesstimate- some people:

Luka
I feel like Luka is pretty safe, even if they were very straight to the gun on calling people town or wolf. Even if they had odd speed, they haven’t been very argumentative about such, and really don’t seem like potential mafia. I’m not clearing them from my list yet, but they feel safe.

Triple J
JJJ seems like they may be good for this game, but with how they’ve been in a few arguments through the game, it could seem as if they were trying to push people to stray from the fellow mobs and/or towards townmen. Like Luka, a valuable man if they were a townie, but I have some doubt on that point.

Bobby Pin
Now, Bob has been inactive for several hours now, but their way of talking and interacting seems very… standby. Solo. Standalone. Essentially, I haven’t seem Bob get into a lot of conversations here. It seems odd when the game is about talking with fellow townmen… especially when others have gotten into heated debates.

Literally everyone else
Here I don’t have a lot about everyone else, whether it’d be Caitlin or ExLight, I just haven’t seen enough to consider if they might be town or not. I do wish to interact with others more now that things are active (hell, we reached 17 or so pages here on day 1!) and try and see in coming days whodunnit, but things seem to be starting to wrap up for now.

Young man your concern with me wouldn't be stemming from you being my only suspicion would it?

It's an unusual concern you seem to have calling me what you have. I wouldn't think I'm any more or less guilty of that than half the patronage.

Hi! Sorry been busy! Lemme catch up 

Hi! Just want to stop in!

I'm Callahan : )

I'll be rereading what I missed, but excited to play with you all! Already at 10 pages so, the game is pretty active, which is good!

Hello there Callahan. Usually I wouldn’t be this active, but with a post minimum and whatever rule Caitlin was talking about, I kinda have to.
Either way welcome on.

The rule is cait kills you if you low post

Honestly it's not really about low posting, cuz I get being busy, but like; posting 10 times in the first 3 hours and then disappearing is something I don't like. Practically the whole game happens after that! Yea we all have quick TLs from Leesbra from the start, but does a TL from super early game really translate to something we can use later on?

It'd be super if anyone could provide a quick rundown of who knows who in this game, because that can go a long way in assessing both interactions and the validity of arguments made (e.g., with meta reads).

I don't know anyone well, so on my own I'll be operating purely at face value.

At face value, I like the cut of Luka's jib. I acknowledge this read is a somewhat shallow "vibe check", but whatever it's a starting point. Separating the game immediately into binary groups (town/mafia) as they have started to do is the right management of thread momentum.

I know Cait, Luka, and Sam.

Do I have any meta-reads on them that can be translated into forums? No.
Am I going to use any meta that I have on them? No. Chat meta doesn't really translate well on forums in my opinion.

The game I hosted tho on MU featured you, Luka and Sam, do you think you have some forum meta from there on them?

I guess that comment was a bit… rude(?). But yeah, there’s been a lot of messages and I haven’t gotten much from them.

I suppose that's okay but yea pls do try to reply to some things. Seems like just after you posted this, content started to form that things could probably be said about

No, I don't even remember anything other than Luka trying to use chat room meta on me? I just remember avoiding the game a lot due to my hydra partner...

Your acts haven’t solidified my suspicions, just simply made me think on if you could be mafia or not. And while what you said and expressed might be a small point as to why I looked at your posts, it is not what made me suspicious of you. Town can vote town, wolf can vote wolf, it’s happened many times before. You’ve made some questionable acts, but I have not seen you as a full blown wolf through the day.

Hmm, I wanna create more talking, so I'll just throw myself out here - What makes me not a town read to you guys?

The fact that I haven’t gotten and read enough from you. Simple as that pretty much…

What do you look for when deciding when someone is town or scum? If I remember correctly this is your second game, so I just wanna see where you are in processing the game.

townie

Thank u I fien for ppl town reading me

When I think back on your posts the only thing that really comes to my mind is your response to JJJ and Bob which seemed a bit much to me. I don't think it's anything I'd scum read you for but it does generate enough pause that I wouldn't confidently town read you right now. Granted I have no experience with you so this is a read on a vacuum but that's where it sits currently.

Do you mean by "seemed a bit much to me" as I was overdramatic, overreacting, have no idea what I'm talking about, or am plain wrong?

Overdramatic would probably be closest. Like the "you are not real" stuff was just over the top. Could be performative, could be just how you are, I don't have a basis to answer that yet.
