Ithi did for sure. And, in regard to me and not being around a ton, I would argue it's also difficult NOT to react when you are being discussed in thread.

Oh totally. I'm still trying to work on how not to be so active in the thread, as so far, that has not been working out so well for me. But I still have this naive assumption that I can influence the thread in the way I want to. Let's just say with mixed results so far, lol, if I'm being generous 🙂

I totally understand this! I think most of us do this to varying degrees.

again, I apologize for my D1 behavior, I'm just really not a fan of this list crap. IF I play again, I'm coming out guns blazing in my first post, no lists, no spam, just business.

Oh yeah. That's one of the easiest ways to gain "wolf cred" is even when you're town, people will think you're distancing/distracting by posting too much. 


But you also get into WIFOM territory of...

 

"Okay, I can clearly see that SD is trying to make it look like we're team mates. So if I distance, that might look scummy. If I defend that looks scummy. If I call it out, that can look scummy. If I ignore it, that can look scummy." lolol

You sure you don't want to do an Emoji / GIF only game in the future? 😄

You don't have to participate.  You don't have to make a list.  You don't have to even acknowledge someone is asking for a list.

I am positive someone is gonna troll you on this topic the next game you play it.  😛

As a wolf I perceived multiple new players being upset about the topic of their newness as useful.

 

i did use it somewhat, but there’s a kernel of truth in both sides of the argument.  It’s good we’re discussing this outside of the game.
 

No one should be biased against new players because they’re new.

 

On the flip side, a new player doesn’t have a technical understanding of the game, doesn’t know the other players, and hasn’t developed a style that others know how to read.  
 

This means that when I (who have played with this group for ten years) say something others may give it more weight than a new player saying the same thing.  People know I know what I’m talking about.  They may contextually disregard something a new player finds suspect because they’re know how I speak, and that’s not something the new player can easily understand.  There may be a conversation sparked off of that which the new player is fundamentally out of the loop on.  And without knowing that new players alignment, it may be impossible to have an open discussion of that disparity in the game thread.

 

on the flip side. A new player may be able to get away with freedoms experienced players cannot.  No one will ever give me a window to explain myself if I say I misunderstood a setup for instance.   
 

Experienced players aren’t going to give in on this point because they know they’re right.  It’s part of the disconnect newer players don’t get because of their inexperience ironically.  The best solution to it is what Heavy just did, play a good game.  No more new player pass, but also we’re now past that convo for next game.

I dunno Darthe. Gud and Heavy have been more on the money than some more experienced players.

 

Maybe because they don't have years of meta weighing their judgements and choices down.

 

It's kind of refreshing and they do spot the oddities.

 

They can see past how Bobby Mafia always plays and just call it 🙂

Oh I’m not pretending that is old hands are actually more talented, just that our experience gives us some leeway they’ve not yet earned.  I’m very impressed with Gud Heavy and Teph.  But they won’t let a new recruit, even one with perfect aim, run an army.

Well, my point is about lists and that it's easy to go back and read my own previous lists before I write a new one to ensure similarity. I made lists a lot in that game, even if I didn't interact with people. 

This is a good point. Making lists is a good tool for harder working mafia to appear active by "sharing" without having to be active in thread. It is easier to have good thoughts if you don't have to interact in real time as much.

 

Again, most mafia won't bother because they are winging it. They already know who is who so don't need to work as hard to solve.

Little did we know, that the "sword metaphor", was most aptly applied to Ed of all people.

lolz

This is evidence that vig is probably only even in balance imo. The role is swingy. That said it adds fun and more angles to pursue. I should have paid more attention to who appeared to be actively interested in finding the vig.

Spoiler

Hint: it was SD and Tig, lol.

Was I actively looking for the vig in game? Or did I just reiterate what everyone else had stated, that it was Ed after he claimed It? Lol.

No. Right after Day started, you and Tig both asked me about having a shot. That's actively looking for the vig. I was doing a basic thing about cop, doc, vig. I left the vig blank so any mafia might worry about it, seeing if it might draw a nk attempt. I failed to think about who asked though. If I hasbeen the vig I would have shot you N1 though.

See?

 

 

 

You leaving that blank was what made me think you were trying to get opinions on who to shoot.  I honestly hadn't thought of needing to find the vig to NK them lol

 

@HeavyHalfMoonBlade you done so well this game and I meant it.  But you yourself would've lynched you for that reveal lol it really made  it easy for me lol

 

Good news, I have a feeling I'm gonna be confused af in DPRs game so I won't have the brain capacity to be devious lol

Ahh, I forgot about that.

Yeah, you eluded to having a role with your whole, if I was x,y, or z, and then someone extra died, so I was like... Was that you? Lol

How do you share a discord channel? Do I just make it public and then link it?
