Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?

Bifauxnen posted:

huh? are you talking to Hats? If he means it might be better to not go spilling all the town flavor he could be right, though. I still think it's weird that he saw that "many times over" death and thought, hmmm maybe it implies an especially murderous vigilante.

I hadn't even looked at that bit--it was the fact that the vig would have kicked the whole thing off unprompted, which is weird flavorwise. I'm going to shut up on the flavor stuff now, because Max is right that I shouldn't be dangling it.

For what it's worth, the fact that you're stopping to consider the consequences has pretty much put you in the town category as far as I'm concerned.

I would hit bif obvi because she is TOO TRICKSY

I'd probably cop someone like Jeabus. If he's town, we avoid the easy pushes onto him for doing newbie things. If he's scum, we avoid the easy pushes off of him because of his newness. Also, bonus, we aren't confirming someone super valuable to the game as town and signing their death warrant. (no offense intended here Jeabus)

Hello, I'm town

I thought it was odd because I couldn't initially tell if I'm town. I'm definitely anti-scum but I couldn't confirm if I am part of the town "faction."

So I asked about the n0 flip which purports to show the demise of one of my enemies, but Jeabus didn't express an opinion on whether it was good and so I think they're ducking me.

oh poo poo look out folks he called me town haha

I can't actually figure out if you are actually implying n0 actions existed or not? Like I could understand questioning just the nature of the n0 plotpoint flavor, it is unusual to kick off a game of Mafia with an n0 plot death that's scum instead of town. But.... not really in this case, when you look at the flavor. I find it suss that you wouldn't notice that detail if you were thinking that much about it. Especially if you were town.

I think a lot of people just really really wanted that scum dead. An uninformed majority of people, as it were.

His first bit didn't twinge me, but I totally see what your talking about in regards of the push. This is solid.

Intelligent and bright, they explored a world that was new and strange to them. They liked it, they thought - a whole world just for them! They were dimly aware that a God had created them, was watching them; they called out to him, thanking him in a chittering language, before running off.
Ok. so I guess we're serious now

On the n0 death front, I think it's interesting that the NPC was vanilla, and it was his shine role was untouchable godfather.

I agree that hat's take on it was a bit awkward

Not to get too far up analyzing my own meta, but I'm actually less awkward as scum because I feel less self-conscious about falling in with other peoples' leads; it's a very different set of calculations. I feel like I did pretty well in the Conquest of Qal, at least.

I have changed my style a lot since I haven't been playing a lot. I'd like to think I've moved from being vocal on D1 to reading it fully but engaging with it fairly lightly and then upping my participation as the days move forward.

It's much less stressful this way, unless I make it all the way to the end. HAAAAAAL! :argh:

Hmmmm I will say that I DID have trouble knowing that at first, but it's something that may differ between role PMs and also might depend on how closely you had been reading Pods flavor posts.

I think the win condition makes it pretty clear, although come to think of it I don't know how experienced Jeabus is and I wouldn't expect a new player to pick up on that.
