also dont think imp is a scumbo for saying a person who only posts meow isnt doing anything. it might be tryhard but doesnt feel like scum tryhard

Correct, imp is fine and nevergirls is bad for that vote on him. ##vote nevergirls

Merk is a good enough player historically (recent history excepted) I trust him to stop shitposting and start playing before the game day's done.

Could we not start with the vaguely implied roleclaiming? Even as a joke it muddies the water for real roleclaims later.

i think its jokephase and merk is joking aka null tell

Joke or not, being so belligerent about it really puts a sour taste in my mouth.

## vote merk

I'll remove my vote if he can make a post containing more than 'meow', but as is there's no point having him in the game if that's all he's going to do. With short days, that is waaaay too much 'joke phase'.

Ya, directly stating "am new plz halp" is a little too on the nose, as the naive response. A little suspicious, IMO.

Don't lynch a newbie Day 1 for doing newbie things, you dingus. That's predatory.

Are you new too?

(I agree that lurking until being called out IS scummy but I tend to give newbies a pass for Day 1 at least.)

I'll dig up a really good newbie primer for you in 30 or so, but the short version is to think about whose posting seems manufactured or unnatural. Scum have to fake their reads (i.e. they HAVE to be faking calling people scummy when they know they're town) so a large part of this game is catching that in how people post.

I haven't played in years. Worst thing that can happen is we lynched a non-contributing town. Best thing is I eliminated scum.

Because most newbies don't know how to play and/or not good at playing from the start so unless they come out saying "Lynch me. I'm literally anti-town aligned" it is nearly impossible to properly read anything into their actions day 1. By the end of day 2, and with any intel that may come from njght 1, it's easier to get a proper read on newbies.

case, such as it is

- first bandwagon vote
- voted me for voting on 2penny, but didn't vote on merk even though he also did that AND is obviously contributing nothing to the game

Not strong but this is what I have to go on D1

I voted for you because your rationale for voting 2penny is bad and faked. It was a weak +1, and like I just said scum HAVE to manufacture reasons for voting.

I'm fine with giving merk the opportunity to play the game he signed up for, but if he doesn't come back and make posts today I'm also OK murdering him.

This and, from a self-serving perspective for the Mafia community as a whole, we want newbies to stick around and keep playing. Killing them on Day 1 does little to advance that.

That being said, since this is a newbie-heavy game it may be a little difficult to stick with that here.

You bandwagoned on 2penny before I voted you, and merk's votes were obviously joke votes that he was tossing around. Settle down.

My strongest case is a town read on 2penny, but this is also a shockingly hedgey post:

GenericGirlName posted:

I'm not super experienced with forums mafia (this is my second game, and the first one was in 2013 lol) so I don't think I've got any good D1 shitpost analysis just yet. Merk being antagonistic and stuff seems too risky/stupid a play for scum? What do you guys think?

Other than that there's not enough to go on yet, so more people should post!!!
