While I won't vote xpods right away I do find his instant jump on me as the one player you don't recognize, suggest he is hiding something. That type of paranoia isn't natural.

First Mafia game ever. I have played other hidden role games, but only in person. I know also that I'm not all that great at reading people.

Nah, it looked a little like awkward townie posturing. Not terrible for an early baseless vote.

Hum looks worse I think with the reaction.

Somber hit a soft spot, scumalong? You and xopod doing nefarious colluding?

I think he means my vote for Maigius but honestly anyone who thinks a vote in the very first post of a game could possibly be serious can gently caress off into the sun.

I’ve seen enough joke votes turned into serious ones later on to know you can never write off any vote

I'm not implying your vote was ~serious~ it was just the most awkward initial vote.

You answered your own question. I don't think I was particularly awkward, but I agree in principle that jokephase awkardness is scummy.

Believing that I was somehow serious-voting the newbie for "paranoid" reasons is... not something anyone who has played a game of Mafia before could reasonably believe.

I was the one accusing you of paranoia. I felt that you accusing me of being someone with a name change meant that you were afraid of someone, possibly specific, who knew your tricks and wanted to be very certain I was not them.

Re: "paranoia" I was talking about this. I didn't realize he was referring back to something Maigius said cause I've barely read this game so far. I was just wandering back in here expecting to find we were in joke phase and surprised to find a bunch of votes on me for my one post.

No. It's just I'm very familiar with all the other people in the game and there was one name I didn't recognize and it belonged to a Thunderdome loser... lotta long-time Mafia people have recently been getting themselves banned due to Toxx and registering with new screen names so I thought you'd probably turn out to be someone I knew. Voting "until you tell me who you are" was just a joke, cause that's what people do in jokephase. Joke votes are like fist bumps, they're just a greeting not a threat.

when toal was rolling out the role pms in discord the permissions were wrong, so everyone online at the time (me, hum, somber) could see your role PM and that you were scum

toal obviously rerolled after that but i voted to show respect to the memory of the short-lived xopods masonry

yeah i didn't think there'd be any issue putting xopods at -2 because it's not like there was any danger of anyone piling more votes on without immediately being lunch trained into the ground

Oh, I saw stuff about the "masonry-xopods" channel on the Discord. Didn't realize that my alignment had been made public too or that I'd rolled scum. I thought I'd just been a mason and Toal had outed the masonry.

Still not as bad a start as one of the scum (NLK?) starting Tiger King by posting a link to the scumchat in thread.

Is the fact at least some people saw things they weren't supposed to in discord, weird unusual meta-knowledge we can't work with or is it fair game at least for set up information?
