Hm, ok. I acknowledge your response.

I will say, if you think it's against the interests of the town to kill someone on day 1, you can vote to sleep or whatever

I would have sworn off Mafia if I ended up being scum in this game, too.

@Shel (and others) just for note. I've heard three people say thusfar that they oppose day 1 votes. Y'all could have made that happen!

For what it's worth I largely agree with Kitsu's view of the game state which is probably a good sign or else I'm getting hornswoggled

We also need to factor in that we have no reliable way to snuff out mafia at night. Everything we do has to be done during the day, and it has to be based on our intuition.

I explained my behavior on day 1, and I feel like these two explanations also explain townie day 1 behavior, even if each was different than my own.

my d1 strategy was to forget about the game, come into the day at the end, and panic while we're sharing

That remains to be seen, lmao. I’ve a good run of luck the last few games to have been town. I kinda wouldn’t have minded being scum here. I’d rather be in the “informed minority” as opposed to just basing things on instinct.

Oh, so a normal phase for me?
