Things I think are important to clear up:

 

1. I kinda like biology.

2. I hate balloons with a passion. I have since I was a child and ran away crying every time someone said they would pop one.

3. Adulting sucks most of the time, except when you can decide to have candy for breakfast. 

4. I like cake. I want some now. I don't have any. If I want cake I have to bake it. Adulting again. *pouts*

 

 

aaand then the game got serious...

 

Joke votes are joke votes. I never know how to gauge those reactions anyway, unless they are blatantly freaked out. I find it more interesting how much people are willing to read into those reactions. Reaching for straws isn't all that great, but in the beginning that's all we have. 

 

RTE comes in, seemingly like me, and comments little on the current game and more on the chitchat that has been going on. I guess it's just early thread stuff. He may not have found much to comment on. Better posts later though. Good content wise in terms of getting good reads. 

 

Laine and BFG reads as town vs. town to me. 

 

Taborline hasn't had much game related to bring up yet, but I hope that'll change. At least if she's town. If not, carry on

 

Clov seems to be reaching for nitpicky things to bring up. Not entirely sure what that means in terms of his alignment, but I'm probably going to need a little while to read him properly.

 

Not commenting on Dice yet, because I don't know what to think. I see RTE is finding his interactions to be possibly scummy, but I'm not really there. 

 

The rest I have no opinion on yet. 

 

I'll still be at least semi-around for most of the day Looking forward to interactions.

Hey all..sorry I didn't make it on today. I ended up staying home from work. I have pink eye! It's awful! So I'm doing this with one eye!

 

Happy Birthday Tress!

 

Not sure I'm following a lot of the WOT. But then I never have been a fan of that. Plus the META talk is wasted on me, I have no idea what you guys are referring to! 

 

BFG...I'm pretty sure we've been in a game or two together before. It's been a while!

lol that's embarrassing, any thoughts on the game so far?

My reaction was that it's funny for somebody to vote on another without a reason. Yes this is mafia and yes we can vote for whoever we want. I was asking Clov why he voted for me. Also as Dice said i have played mafia in a while so I'm a bit rusty.

So what do you think about the discussion generated by Clov's vote, or anything else?

Wow I celebrate my friends birthday and I come back to being very confused. But then again I'm always confused day one because it's hard. I've read it over but I'll read over it again in case I missed something or have any input.

 

Happy birthday Moddess!!! Hope it's a good one!

Any input?

Good morning!

 

And welcome, Sooh! I hate balloons too, they're the spawn of the Devil.

 

Why did Jagen leave us? Normally I would wonder if it's not because they had a special role, and therefore Sooh has it too, otherwise why quit so quickly? If you're vanilla town, you could just ride it out, check in from time to time, but if you needed to be active then you might throw in the towel right away knowing it's not fair to whichever team you're on.

Good morning!

That too.

@ Kronos - I picked Taborline because I wanted to see a reaction.  I hadn't seen anything off putting from the way she handled it.  When I woke up this morning though and took an initial read through what's happened since I fell asleep (and thankfully I'm not sick anymore!), I think it's interesting to consider that she's the first to question the reasons that Sooh might have taken over for Jagen.  There could be a number of reasons for the switch, not all of which are related to the game.  Also don't like that she kind of went rolefishing there too in putting out that thought - the part in green.

 

I'm also not liking the part Laine tacked on.  Seems like an easy way to throw suspicion on Sooh for something she had no control over.  Even if it's just a theory adding to what Taborline had said earlier.

Well.. I kinda feel like Jagen's reasons for leaving should be hers and hers alone, but I will tell you that with the time zone differences and posting speed she felt overwhelmed. It was also her first game of all time. That's kinda all I feel comfortable saying.

 

However I wish you would judge me and my role by my posting and not by her leaving, because at the end of the day if that's what you're going to lynch me for, you might as well get it over with at once.

Of course there could be many reasons, but so far it's all I have to go on, and see what happens. Sorry Sooh, for jumping on you too as soon as you get in the pool!

Taborline, do you have any reads on the other players yet?

Agree on the role-fishing.

 

The reason I mentioned subbing out scum is because Taborline DIDN'T mention it. Why go straight to PR and not to scum? Why would having a PR be any more/less intimidating than rolling scum?

I understand this and I'm not judging for needing to be subbed out, it happens to all of us. Heck, I've had to sub out of vanilla games before. I dropped off the face of the Earth the last time I played the WT HP mafia game and I was on the scum team.

I see what you're saying about Taborline. I want to see her thoughts on the rest of the people in the game though.

I have nothing on anyone else so far, except agree that someone who is posting a lot at the beginning is likely scum, but I couldn't say who. I find the references to other games confusing, so nothing came from that.

Because PRs are important as well, you don't want to accidentally lynch the Seer.

This is how I look at it:

 

A) I'm scum and looking for PRs. Someone gets replaced out, I role fish a little that maybe they were a PR because obv they're not on my scum team (I would know)

B) I'm town and looking for scum. Someone gets replaced out, I'm not going to role fish because we need to keep our PRs safe, so I probably wont say anything, but apply a little pressure to see if it was a scum slot.

Then I've definitely effed up.

It happens, Tab, but you definitely need to show us what you think of for example Laine and BFG's conversation. It has been lengthy and with a lot of content, and not a whole lot of meta. 

Well the votes so far, before me, have been jokes, and it doesn't give much to go off of apart from I'd wager the one trying to make a deal out of it would be more likely to be scum.

I'm totes gonna make everything a huge deal. I'm going to overreact to everything, BFG is going to nitpick, Sooh is going to be helpful, and Clov is gonna be Clov. At some point in the game Razen and/or Dice will try to lynch me after Clov creates a case on me out of nothing and I judge him harshly.

 

Oh wait, Hallia's in this game? If Hallia gets too friendly, she's probably scum.

 

Right now her joke:serious ratio is good.

Good morning!

 

Its pouring rain here, thunder and lightening too. I still have pink eye and my work won't let me come in. I kinda like that idea! Between this and homework (and the rain), I've decided to bring my laptop to bed and stay in my jammies all day! HAHA!!!

 

Although I am seriously considering running to Starbucks. 

 

 

 

As for those lost on what they're talking about, I snapped at Dice for a vote on me last game and I was mafia. He's saying that cairos' reaction wasn't the same as my overreaction and shouldn't be treated as such.

 

 

Thank you for clearing that up!

 

My reaction was that it's funny for somebody to vote on another without a reason. Yes this is mafia and yes we can vote for whoever we want. I was asking Clov why he voted for me. Also as Dice said i have played mafia in a while so I'm a bit rusty.

 

I am rusty too, and I really wasn't struck by your reaction.

I don't understand this. Are you referring to yourself? This just seams like seeding for WIFOM to me. 

 

 

Who is Laine?

 

 

 

I'm really just getting my feet wet again and so far this all seems like the usual day 1 back-n-forth to me.

 

Some people are talking more than others, and that can go either way from my past experience. 

 

 

 

 

Welcome Sooh! I will refrain for making any balloon animals in your presence!

But I don't know that (Nor can I believe it, while said in the game).

I might just do a re-read today and see if there is more I can gather.
