Doesn't a veteran kill his attacker?
No, I meant verteran as in returning player.
As for Darryl, I actually encourage this style of play. Going agro put's the scum team off balance, and that's the only way we are going to really get anywhere on day one.

Some light feelings,
People that are good for town currently:
Flux
Darryl
CB
I'm weary of:
Andodalf - has made some weird slips and said some things i find confusing, but it could be new guy jitters.
El Topo - Can't read El Topo well, so I'm always unsure of him.
StarSketch - A No Lynch on a day 1 after a night of no kills? Will we ever end this game? Hope she changes her mind
Nulls:
Everyone else. I'm passing this round, so

We haven't played together yet, but let that not phase you my friend.
Any thoughts on top/bottom people so far in the early day?
Let's discuss!
You motherfucker
Same mindset that whips the town into a flurry, leading to a lynching of a beneficial power role.
Going aggro is an amazing way to lose the game Day 1
Maybe there is a chance, then.Not if it's controlled. It is very dangerous if misguided, yes, but when done properly, such as not calling for everyone to vote for someone right away, then it can actually be very beneficial in the long run.
Take GAF Mafia for example, town killed two scum in a row because of going aggro on those who they deemed suspicious, including day one.
Hey, I was actually looking forward to playing with you!
Oh wait, it's Friday. Better start drinking.

You're not drunk already?
Unless Darryl is pulling some reverse tactics with their "random vote pressure" stance, I already know their aggression is misguided because they're aiming at me.
And I know that means nothing and I could be a werewolf regardless, but their only defense as to why they think I'm suspicious is because "you're suspicious." I'm not buying that this strategy is being used properly here.

It's a fine balance of both collecting enough information to help the town and simultaneously trying to lay as low as possibleSo these are not really town reads, more like value at the current stage. I think these three guys will expand discussion and probe others when necessary. CB is super active and loves posting his thoughts on everything, and then posts his thoughts on his thoughts, and then his doubts on his thoughts.
It gets a bit messy, but I always welcome people being as open as possible, because the more you throw out there, the more everyone can digest it and pick up on things, good or bad, town or scum, that can help town as a whole.

For only having one vote against you, you seem to have quite the truculent attitude.
Even if it pushes me into the spotlight, it doesn't matter if it's for the benefit of the town as a whole. So what I did was ask one simple thing: "why?"There's been a lot of cases of people reacting from votes, which helps in deducing reads.
I will never endorse silence, it's anti-town.
That really made me question them and what exactly they're trying to do. I would have attempted to deconstruct their argument for anything else, but just look at that reply and combine it with the things that they've said previously in this thread.I voted for you because you're scum. Obviously. You know you're scum. I know it. Every post you make reeks of it.
I want to hear more from Darryl, and I have no reason to sit idly by when someone isn't being flippant about a vote and seriously seems to believe it, and I'm the target.
You're scum because you don't give a fuck about town. You're in self-preservation mode hardcore. Nothing you are saying is town or in the interest of helping town. You just want me to fuck off because I'm onto you and you don't believe you deserve it. You don't want to be blindly shot day #1.
I don't have anything substantial to add to the discussion right this second, but Flux does seem very defensive for having only one person suspicious of him.
It may be just me, but my opinion of day one is to draw out suspects instead of defending ourselves from each she every suspicion thrown out. That doesn't really help town a while lot. If you've got multiple votes on you, by all means defend yourself, though. You've got one vote by my count, Flux.
As for Darryl, he seems aggressive as usual.
Why isnt QuestionBro down here in the scum barrel with us when he did something that screams scummy to you?
He's in a different list. I only wanted to make the one public.
Scum:
FluxWaveZ
-Darryl baited him and it seemed to work. He's also posting quite a lot for a new player.
My registration for this season's mafia games. So unless you think I knew my role back in October, that is irrelevant.I've never played one of these before, but they certainly sound fascinating. I was glancing at the Danganronpa one while it was happening. Though it fundamentally sounds simple from everything I read in the OP, it still does seem overwhelming. Regardless, I'd be up for participating in this one. I'm good at following rules, anyways.

Bringing up garbage points you don't fully understand ("you slipped up on your list!"). Do you even understand the methodology behind the list? You don't even care, because as far as you're concerned it only matters whether or not you're on it. So instead its easier to discredit the list, and me.
You're scum. Scum #1 is found. Now who is #2?
I feel like the only person who doesn't benefit from silence is a normal townie.
Which do you think is more anti-town: being overly defensive, or being overly aggressive?
I mean to be fair the bolded I think is just known as "being Darryl"
Darryl gonna Darryl.
Being overly defensive, I would think. Remember, two people (RobotNinjaHornets and cabot) just vouched that this appears to be how Darryl plays his game.

You're a new player too, so let me ask you this: do you think we should care that this is how Darryl normally plays if it ends up costing us, and doesn't actually end up in werewolf lynches? There's nothing inherently positive about "this is how things are normally done."

To be other fair, the time I played with Darryl he did end up being evil. But I heard he was basically the same on the good team. So I dunno.
Vote: batsnacks
My votes so far haven't been random, there's one thing they all have in common.
Is it the Useless Fucking Posters list?
Anyway, here are my reads...
Town:
Darryl
-Putting a big target on hirself, very pro-town
Terrabyte20xx
-Haven't noticed any big changes from his usual play strategy.
cabot
-Going with my strategy of voting to encourage players to participate
Scum:
Andodalf
-Gotten a weird vibe from his posts, though that could be because he's new. His defense of Flux struck me off.
Rolanderson
-Quickly responded to my vote against him, with a very pointless post. He's watching us, but wants to stay out of everything.
FluxWaveZ
-Darryl baited him and it seemed to work. He's also posting quite a lot for a new player.
Players who need to post more:

People are saying that this is how I play and it isn't indicative that I'm scum, which is where a town players interest would lay. You don't care, because you're not town and don't have town interests.
Hi I'm batsnacks. I always lynch d1, I like voting early, I don't like speculating about possible roles on day 1, and I like people who like the same things as me. I haven't read most of the thread yet. Nice to meet you!
QuestionBro I appreciate this post, but Gorlak isn't in this game, sorry buddy.
So sorry. I still love you
I'm glad we're back playing together.
