Is TripleJ also from Sloonei & MP's forums?

oh boy. if my playstyle has caused any headaches so far, then i've got some bad news.

indeed he is.

Hello there.

It looks like this game is headed for a deadline shortly, so bear with me while I try to figure out what is going on. Meanwhile, y'all should tell me what the most important developments in this game have been so far and why I should care about them.

Oh dear.

I'm just going to read the thread and spam y'all with my thoughts in real-time. I am unconcerned with context or later developments; this is all purely in-the-moment takes of whatever I see as I read.



A little vote pressure never hurt, but I like it better when the purpose and direction is clearer. This vote appears to be placed for the sake of participating in Operation: Apply Pressure and not because there's a real, personal interest in applying pressure.

I'm just posting this now to see if I did the spoiler correctly. To be continued.

We're all Santa and everyone's jumping in the pool of role claims. There was an apparent discrepancy in the reports of Silver Lantern and RenegadeRoy, so far people seem to be siding more with the Lantern. I think they've both done some questionable things, but I my vote is currently on Roy so that's where I'm leaning. There's a handful of players I am reading as town and a few jumbled up null reads.

I got some heat because of culture clash and MP has been a suspect because he's been a total question mark.

I did not do the spoiler correctly. I don't know how. I will not use the spoiler.

Is Silver Lantern's reverse tracker claim corroborated by anyone else? It may have been, but I missed it if so.

Continuing to read things:

Nice little thing here. The game was young and a few votes had been thrown out there, but Immortal_Raven was not satisfied. He wanted more. I like the urgency.

Sloonei is well on-meta in Day 1. Promoting discussion and generating pressure are hallmarks of his town play and he looks the part early. He has proven to have some skill in mimicking this conduct as a bad guy, but not with perfect consistency.

I note two early instances of Silver Lantern taking an opportunity to make a wordy post about game strategy and structure without really discussing a read on someone else. That's not ideal. I will grant that his clarity in discussing his strategic preference would represent a measure of WIFOM in the event that he is literally employing that strategy as a mafioso.

Just a little pet point for me to muse over:

I've seen at least two instances of a new player entering a new Mafia environment, promoting an active and pressured Day 1 for the reasons Sloonei provided, only to be dissuaded/refuted by someone who eventually flipped mafia.

Sloonei may recall one instance: Roxy was bad in Economics Mafia with a very low post count after telling me that I was wrong about that. It also happened to me on Bulbagarden in a very similar circumstance.

Something I'll chew on regarding RenegadeBoy.

To be continued...

I just want Trips-J to talk more because this.... this is prime.

Early scum read.

*eyeball twitches violently*

I actually just noticed that "No lynch" was the winning vote for Day 1. Shameful. Disgusting. I will not stand for this. It already happened. Why? WHY?

I wish this post would have existed earlier than it did.

I love lists of reads.

I don't love having no idea why they exist. I am also not thrilled with adamical only naming one townie while naming three scum -- he kept his voting options wide option.

This looks like an arbitrary goofball vote and Day 2 is no time for that.

I am no stranger to pressure votes, but around here it's not pressure votes, it's pressure wagons. Note to self.

I don't want contextual clues, I want stances.

Isolated thought without bothering to quote things: I like JOH.

Maybe catch up entirely before posting.

No, I don't think so.

Got anything to say about his other points against you?
