Erich doesn’t really seem to be manipulating the thread - slight townlean (could be empire/separatist waiting for the right moment to push, but this feels like his town playstyle)
000peo is mild scumteam but I think it’s definitely possible his playstyle is just making me paranoid.
JK is just kind of… there. He actually gives me more passive vibes than Orange, and I’m not sure if his arguing against pick reveals was legit or just trying to buy towncred. Slight scumlean.
Ari is a lot more focused this game (not complaining, just noting). I want to townlean him, but he’s personally one of the most difficult people for me to read.
I’d like to hear more from Flash, cat, laserlab, Quinn, and bep before I come to a conclusion about them.
Those are the ones off the top of my head (besides you and arete) - I may revisit cheese and gkb since I haven’t heard from them as much recently
Can answer questions, note that Quin is there for being probably unaligned with GKB while EricH and Flash are there for not really sticking out with any particular takes despite being in-thread
my actual point was that you were saying it was stupid for people to talk about their role/pick position, while directly and indirectly encouraging people to talk about them
but it is in fact also anti-town, if a bunch of people are discussing role/pick position it can potentially make it easier for Mafia to PR hunt, and/or lead to people roleclaiming
