btw a consequence of multivoting will be mafia have more control than they usually would at deadline for manipulating the top two so watch out for that zzzz
ideally enough of us just agree on the two to not deal with
Eh, I really just need more interaction with him. His first post was basically just mechanics talk which doesn’t indicate anything, if anything it’s slightly non-town-mac-ish as I want some actual takes/spice from him early but he hasn’t said anything about players yet really, tbf when he was here there wasn’t much content yet. When he and I are both town we tend to either mindmeld a bunch or clash a fair bit, it’s not really consistent I guess but I have a decent record of finding him through that somehow
This was pretty much what I was thinking as a first instinct as well.
And I did clarify that scum still have scumchat even if they are late arrivals. So they have all this time to see the direction the thread is going and come up with strategies to take advantage of wherever things are when they get in the game.
I’m not sure how to feel about Andres, I don’t have any disagreement with what he’s said and I like the tone of his posts but that might be more of a cool person read than an alignment read
It’s kinda hard to say and I’m not gonna pretend my reads on Andres are good but it feels too pc and not enough conversation, it’s making s long post to satisfy criteria rather than talking the game out I think
I’ve been thinking about this as a strategy, and I think it’s a bad one. And it’s fairly simple in my mind - you might get away with this in part D1, but you would get slaughtered D2. And that I think is the big risk of having too many Mafia here early. I do think the setup incentivizes Mafia to pick whoever they think can survive like a cockroach the first few days, and defer as many of their brethren as possible.
I know better than to ask Elli for reasons on his reads. What I do want to do is use them for focus because I’ll be honest, I’ve never played in a game this big with this many players I don’t know, so a little direction is a boon.
Does it seem like Andres has put too much thought into scum strategy? Discuss.
I mean, the most meh thing about that quote is that it just seems like it’s kind of obvious that we should be scrutinizing people that enter the thread late. But I don’t think it’s bad to explicitly say and I don’t really see this as AI. Then again, one thing I know from observing two or three games here is that you people have freakishly good reads on each other on sometimes very few posts that I wouldn’t see as AI myself. So I’ll keep my eye on how this develops between you two but I’m not actually reading into any of this yet.
