So the hammer is in about 12 hours which I will most likely be out of action for.

There has been a lot of poo poo posting (including 100% of my content) and jockeying for position over the course of this Day 1. I personally believe scum hunting on Day 1 shitposts is basically just an application of meta, which while viable data on a personal level, doesn't mean poo poo to me because I barely know you people.

Example:


That's great but IDK if Bif is telling the truth as a long time mafia player who drew town this game. Or if Bif is pulling bullshit out of her rear end to try and throw suspicion on some poor sap.

I prefer to get a lynch and some night actions in to let me play with more cards in my hand before I begin to put more effort in.

Probability says that the bandwagoning on sandnavyguy (as of this post) will result in an unfortunate town flip so I am torn between joining in to feel security with my vote going towards getting me some info. Or to stick with my vote which is currently on Bif (I say now out that it's for 0 actual reasons and I just picked a target to have a go at but, I will leave it up to you peeps individually to determine if I am lying here or not).

I'm gonna hold off on deciding if I wanna flip targets till I go to bed.

Now I am sure people will be saying "But Asslocked you haven't posted any reads on people." And that is 100% correct. I haven't posted reads. As stated above I dislike and also don't have the meta knowledge required to pull magical theories, the only thing I have is a lot of people arguing using meta and jokes which is hard to read with out the meta data. Do you see the recursive loop? Yeah.

I promise I will do reads in the future, assuming I don't go out like a a coward day 1. So until I decide to flip or not flip I guess I will see you nice goons in Day 2, or maybe in Night 1 if someone decides to knock on my door and pay a visit.

Thank you for this great post, Grid.

Yeah I'm not seeing the case on sandy. I made this exact post as town in my early games when people were casing me aggressively and I felt like every single thing I did was being taken the wrong way.

I think people may be getting unduly swayed by the fact that SNG was just scum in a very recent game and they think his posting here is similar.

As for Gridlocked - meta does often play a big part in D1 casing cause people don't have much else to go on yet. Or even as people's posts and reactions do start trickling in, people will keep judging them in the context of meta, cause we don't have any results yet to point to. (Oh look, that post must've been helping that scum, or thtlat mislunch, etc)

The scales will naturally start to tip as the flips come in, and we can start to see people's records. But meta doesn't have to be the only thing you comment on D1. I didn't need any meta on binus to still say "hey why didn't you vote me then". And the people getting impatient with Gaspy rn aren't familiar with his meta, so they're just diving right in to ask what the gently caress.

So c'mon dude, you can still at least try and make some waves.

And you don't need to know or believe any of what I said about Toal to notice they still aren't showing up yet.

For clarity despite having a go at him I'm not saying Gaspy is scummed. I've played with Cpig and derp loads so I recognise a lovely no-content poster when I see one and it's not a scum tell. Gridlocked's post on the other hand looked scummy af

Yeah, actively excusing himself from casing is a step down from exclusively shitposting. I do worry that it's a bit too easy, though. Might just be my vague memory of the last time he got mislunched.

Hum. I trust you and clearly town don't care about my wonderful Sci argument. ##vote DGK

To be clear, I am not calling sci out for thinking amni and sng are scum. I'm calling him out because his arguments don't track as someone who was very suspicious of amnistar and then suddenly voting with amnistar in the same day. It reeks of scum mind because scum forget what it is like to be suspicious of someone, with that kind of read he should have assumed amnistar was making an easy case on town. Instead he votes with amni, with very little explanation. Because he's scum and his read of amni was faked.

For further reading please see this helpful mafia wiki article.

I'm not voting sci because he said disingenuous rarity, I'm voting based on my case. I just hate it when people attack a poster's mindset because it's lovely and he did a lot of that as scum last game too.

Its 2:30am cause I'm a dickhead and got distracted watching YouTube and didn't notice the time so I am super ultra going to bed after this post.

Thank you for your above post Bif. You are of course right that meta doesn't have to be the only thing commented on during D1. I concede I am being a bit overwhelmed by the multitude of meta plays that go straight over my head, and as such I am being very lazy about taking approaches other than showing contempt for the thing I don't get.

That being said the last post in the thread as I write this is the below snipped post from Toalpaz which is actually similar to a tactic I've used in a few Werewolf games with friends:


So yes I could have been less of a deadshit.

However it is still like 2:30am and I really need to sleep so I will at least tie the vote as it stands between DGK and sandnavyguy (currently 4 for DGK and 5 for sandnavyguy before this post goes up) and let the rest of the people who do the non-Aus/pre-work posts to drop the hammer. Sorry I will put a bit more effort into D1's in future games and whinge less about the meta.

That would really be bending over backwards to protect SNG in the worst way possible by Gridlocked. It's a terrible post but if there are scum on the DGK vote I would think it is more likely Toalpaz or Gaspy. Toal particularly has gone to the effort of making an excuse to vote DGK that doesn't really hold up, I think town are far more likely to change their mind and vote with someone they thought was scum, scum are the ones who are going to be more concerned with appearance and feel like they need to justify their reasons for making that switch.

For day 1, picking someone who isn't a front runner, and then voting them on a gut feel near end of day is almost a sure fire way to catch scum. I don't thin momentum builds up gradually on scum over the course of a day, at least not usually.

I don’t think SNG disappearing once other people got attention is in ANY way proof of his towniness. If you’ve come to that conclusion I think you need to reassess.
