Yeah that's fair and true but I think ouro thinks that mafia batsnacks voted his partner mafia mattyg in the first few minutes of the day to try and get MattyG lynched and buy town cred.
So pretty much he thinks I'm a huge jerk as mafia.

Wait, is this actually what Ouro's thinking? I can't tell when you're joking. I don't know your playstyle but that theory strikes me as pretty out there.

Well, game started and he randomed a vote, you got picked and he forced you to say something. Since it is one vote you should not feel threatened.
He said it wasn't random. He picked Dragonz because she was active and likely to respond quickly.
Sorry about that, I've seen people make similar posts in other games and wasn't quite sure how OK they are.
I've skimmed/read through Dangan Ronpa, When Death is on the Line and Phoenix Wright. I'm currently making my through Volcano Island (this shit is so dumb).

I'm sort of reading between the lines but I thought that was why he was scum reading both of us and he had questions for me about my vote.
Most of the things I've said have been serious so that's awkward I guess =/
Oh wait, Splinter made Volcano Island didn't he? I just didn't recognize him without the asterisk of course. I meant dumb in a fun way! *nervously pulls neck tie*. I might try Election mafia after this since I see it being referenced so often
Sorry, I feel like you've posted some joke stuff before, or at least serious stuff with humorous flavour. I've found it a bit hard to tell whether you are serious or not sometimes. I guess I'll try take you more seriously? lol
It was my broken tags that where they initial problem D:
When I was referring to role claims making things exciting on day one, I was referencing past games where people asked to be lynched right away, and almost everyone was okay with it. I am not suggesting I would like someone to do that now, but it would make this day go a lot easier as I find it difficult to do much of anything.
People like to say that lynching gives you reads, but I don't see how the opposite can't also give you reads. So long as whatever we are debating about, there are going to be reads. To debate you need differing opinions, you will at least have two groups of players because of it.

oh god please don't let retroid be scum again
the problem with "reads" based on no lynches is that you still have no concrete information
there are only two sources of concrete information in Mafia:
1 - flips
2 - investigative results
-- even then it is dependent on how confirmed the "investigator" is
you can read people all day and night but if you don't have anything concrete to base it on (and neither of the above points are available on D1!) then you have absolutely zero information
you have data, but no informaton

I was the one suspicious of your initial post, and honestly it still strikes me as a bit odd. You've explained your reasoning but effectively saying "I like when people role claim day 1" even if it's followed by a "but please don't do this" still stands out as odd.
But ignoring that, if you find it difficult to do much of anything day 1, why not give us some reads like others have? What do you think of Hyper or Dusk or Dragonz for example?

I was that annoying child that always had go ask "Why?"
I guess what I am trying to say is, I don't like killing people day one, but if a role claim occurs, a day one kill might be okay. In order of what I would like to happen:
1. NK
2. Someone is clearly scum/detremental to town, kill them
3. Role Claim with Kill
4. Kill based on randomness

When do the shenanigans begin
Ok - WHY is a lynch on D1 a bad idea?
techincally, sorta
my question had less capitalization and yet somehow more emphasis though
i carry a certain air of authority with my posts
also check out this package
If we don't lynch today we cannot draw any conclusions as to why people did or did not vote for a particular townie. If we don't lynch today, essentially examining all the votes is meaningless because they exist in a vacuum where nothing actually happened. Who knows if people would have switched votes if we came close to a lynch? Or hop on a bandwagon? If we don't lynch we don't gain any knowledge going into day 2. All we gain is a (presumably) dead townie via night kill.

Ugh now I'm reminded of something I didn't like in the last mafia game I played: early on is mental gymnastics that feels meaningless.
Well, time to read 200 posts of it.

Regardless of what happens with lynching, you said you thought we could still gather information based on reads of players, but you haven't offered up any thoughts of your own. Sorry to push you again, but i'd like to hear if you have any feelings towards different players in the game so far?
Imma be heading to be soon, so any more of my sick reads

nah it's ok
mattyg did that really safe post at the beginning of the day and batsnacks immediately jumped on it
i was planning on jumping on it but he beat me to it

I have no strong read on batsnacks, but I would put Matty into the "probably scum" pile.
Problem with Matty in particular is that he's posted, but all of them are shit posts, as someone pointed out earlier. And that's especially troubling because, especially day 1, discussion is super important. Just feels like he's trying to hide.
But I think Dusk is still more scummy at this point so

The reason Matty is not in my top three is because I have nothing to go on. I'd like a few more of his posts before I condemn him to scumdom.
As for kitty, he doesn't post much but other that that his posts are solid. Just the vibe I'm getting from him. His posts open up further discussion which is good in my book.

The one post is responding to those early generic questions Hyperactivity posted too...those were probably the easiest opportunity to feign a contribution so far. Also he wants to no lynch despite what "the hivemind" (lol town) thinks.
And Time's post got ignored. It could have been a good opportunity for mafia to throw a little more shade on a town TheExodu5.
I still think Hyperactivity has word count cleared himself for this phase but the drop off in activity after people were saying he is suspicious is... something.
It can maybe be a mafia Hyperactivity getting quieter due to reactions or a town Hyperactivity getting discouraged by people's reactions or he's just busy and it's not alignment indicative at all. Like I was skimming his posts after a certain point but there didn't seem to be much followup after wheresdragonz and that happened a while ago.

Hyper because I'm convinced that he's either scum or neutral. I don't think he's town, at all. I listed reasons earlier in the thread and I'm on mobile so I can't really go back and link them, but they're all there. I discussed it with catvoca.
Exodu5 because he only has one post of note. I also kind of agree with Time's post of him wasting the time he does have. I understand being busy, but why not make it count when you DO have the opportunity? That being said, I don't necessarily think lynching him is a good move, because he hasn't done anything as blatantly scummy as Dusk.
I am also suspicious of anyone who is invisible at this point. Crab, timetokill, a bunch of other people I forget. It's been more than a full 24hrs since the game started and many of them have barely contributed. No one works THAT much. Sorry if I'm being an ass with assuming the details of the lives of others, but I can't help but get a weird feeling about their absence.

The only person I've had any real thoughts towards in this game is the man with the plan, Hyperactivity. I see his actions as trying to get a rather boring day less boring. As far as gathering information based on reads, I'm not sure I said that? Maybe I said something that is being interpreted that way, or I am just rather clueless.
For people saying we can't gather conclusions because of a no lynch, I would disagree. There is a clear divide of people who both support and don't support a no lynch. You could look back on today and see what everyone was pushing for down the line when more events have occurred and there is potentially added context around someones decision to not kill today. You could also look at the votes that were placed before town concluded on a no kill.
try to come up with some other thoughts
there are 23 people in this game
what information would a "no lynch" get you
Sorry, I hit the submit reply by accident.
You could look at how the vote was split between not killing and killing. Who jumped on early, versus who jumped on late. With the added context of late game, it could provide information that is useful. As well, you will have the added benefit of seeing who people were voting before they switched, as well as who stuck with their votes. In addition to all of this, we don't kill/expose a useful role on day one.

Anyone who makes read lists day one. /s (Although I do think they are a bit... I would know... felt forced into one last game)
If I had to pick, right now it would be you. I don't think you are really contributing much that will be useful down the road. (This just reflects my feelings towards the first day).
instant negative scum vibes of day 1
dusk - as i said earlier, he could be scum trying to stretch truth in order to make hyper worse
hyper - as i said earlier, overeager, scum trying to gain townie trust? or maybe he's just a townie trying to be helpful, but i'm going to lean on how my body feels, and it's negative enough that he should stay in the scum pile
if dusk flips scum, i would prob feel a little better about hyper, and vice versa. altho there's always a chance this is some scumbro play where scumDusk pinches scumHyper in public in order to mask their secret connection.
slight negative vibes that fermented over the course of day 1
splinter - i asked "y not" to his "im not going to say anything about dragonz yet", and he ignored it. therefore i want him dead and buried.
a human becoming - his last post was about how the early goings is full of "meaningless" mental gymnastics. hints that he's not hyped reading back 200 posts. talks about how not editing is a pain. complains about the spacing of his answers. all his posts give off this demotivated vibe. maybe scum going for an early frustrated townie angle? or maybe i'm just looking too hard. these eyes remain open.
exodu - as others mentioned, seems like he's been cruising on the fluff lane a bit too much
lean townies of day 1
retroid - i dunno how long scumtroid would want to keep this no-lynch convo going, or mentioning how role claiming on day 1 makes things exciting.
catovaca - i am okay with how he's poking and prodding, active and contributive

I want to call out dragonz for picking on me but I can't blame her, she's using MOSTLY the same rationale for me picking StackpoleH, though she posted less than I have so dragonz probably forgot she even existed.
i had nothing to do with you dying via bagel gun in the last game, fyi
