Hello Bop. I expect to see you post more than you have in our previous game if you are town.

Horrifying prospect as our last game was maybe the most I've ever posted in one of these and that game had actions in it

After the darkest dungeon 2 game, I am now a convert to less posts = more solvable game lol. With a limit, please seven don't smite me with a word limit.

I disagree wholeheartedly but I’m now very good at counting to 30.

More about having you be an active presence, less about more posts to clarify. Since I noted you active lurking at points and had to nudge. Basically I want to see the same reads we had together in our chat but more in the open if you are town. That's really it.

So I’m really tempted to but…then I’d be out of the game and I just want to play. I’m struggling with no fix.

lol. I feel like im usually pretty ass as town because I get lost in the weeds, having everything filtered really helped me. Granted itd been years since my last game, so maybe ive just developed a brain, guess we will see this game.

Not a great answer

Thoughts before bed:

Heury - interesting move that I considered before getting my alignment. I thought it was a bad idea for town, but a worse idea for scum. Slightly town. Considering parking my vote on heury so I cant be pocketed today lol.

Greedy - i feel like there is always one slightly belligerent towny who is the day 1 vote, in normal vote games that is. So feeling slight town on them as well for now.

Everybody else - no thoughts.

Yes

Okay, fair!

I accept but if you want my chat style reads I can't promise they won't come my chat style unrelated tangents

There's something specific I think will be a good tell to look out for early in this type of game (first trust fall!) but I'll let the thread breath a bit to see who all does it. Pressure's kinda off compared to normal games as you only really have to get it right once here.

Regarding GreedyBanger and "is not saying you're town when explicitly asked sus or not" I'm on the record that it's always solidly neutral on its own ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I've been steered wrong too often chasing that

You two played this format before? How did it go?

I don't think Darkest Dungeon is a good example for a game with less posts, there was a bunch of other stuff going on with it

Not sure I see the logic of it being bad for scum, can you walk me through?

Yeah that sounds about right for greedy lol

BTW, that's supposed to be "No Deal"

heury and Greedy are way too eager, would not trust right now.

KJQ, first post was NAI, picture still developing.

I like Bop's caution. Right now he's votable.

Everyone else is TBD.

Re heury:

Nvm I'm dumb lmao.

Bessie isn't in the game I just assumed she was without checking.

Hilarious shit my bad. Anyway heury is scum for making me laugh again

Not really relevant anymore, but here was my thoughts.

Town there's a low chance, 2/9 you hit mafia, and it games the game day started. Now I wouldn't take that risk or think its good, but I think if your someone who typically is a day 1 vote, it's a bit more considerable, if I think not a good option.

As mafia, I'd prefer to leave my.options open, and not do anything odd that would draw negative attention early, because people will always think about it when deciding if they trust you enough to vote you. And id kick myself if I started the game voting someone as mafia, and was always to convince someone else I was trustworthy that day and couldn't change my vote.

Hmm a what would I do as mafia post...grrr

Why did you decide to vote, with the game mechanic in mind.

Bessie isn't a player in this game.

I made the same mistake, which led to my initial read, then realized my mistake:

Why did you not read my entire post?

woof

Deadbananas: I did, this is why I asked. What does Bessie not being in a game have to do with changing your mind.
