Don't take it like that for it is not the case. It's not a private club, but people who have played for a long time have had their fair share of funny or tense exchanges and sometimes reference them (usually just in the beginning of a game). It's natural for sure relatability to establish itself over time. It's human. And all of it is also public on the forum, but who has time to read 75 games, right? Just don't give it too much thought. Meta has a play, but it's not the be-all, end-all.

I Don't see how that uses any information not on the first post.
between having three town reads on me and having claimed yes I knew that. I Am almost definitely NK1.
You already unvoted me you don't have to make a point of it.

After reviewing your posts again and reading your new posts I am now confident.

Do you know what clear means?

Can you clarify? What new info made you confident?

I think I can speak for the community as a whole that a goal of each game that's run is to pull in new players that happen to enjoy it enough to sign up for another. As someone who has played a handful of games with the group(but still pretty new compared to the old guard), not necessarily understanding the banter/dynamics of some of the longer time players has little to no impact on your ability to follow and solve the game.

Please don't feel you are invading. We are very glad to have you here and hope you enjoy it here.

Roles are revealed in 1 of 3 ways: Player dies and their role is revealed, revealed at the end if they don't die prior to, or if the player reveals the role themselves/is revealed by another player who has a sort of watcher PR and follows the other player during the night phase.


Now on to the game itself: Where has Babark been? if I hadn't re-read through the 1st page I would have missed his one post.

LordCephy, you are doing fine. Day 1 sucks. No one knows anything. Everyone is staring slant-eyed at each other's posts looking for any angle that might make them scum (or looking for some angle to exploit in the case of the mafia team). In the end, we will in all likelihood mislynch someone, but hopefully that will give us more insight going into day 2 on top of the fact a handful of players may know a little more based on their night actions.

And before you suggest a no-lynch. That process of arriving at someone to mislynch (usually) gives a baseline where people stand.

I also notice the downvote trolls have seen I posted again. They didn't notice for 2 days and now downvoted to the max again. Clear that GoG still has no control of their forums. I can't even count how many community leaders promised to look into and fix the problem and did nothing. If you are wondering why I haven't been buying games here lately...

While I'm just one person, how many others do you think might have been driven off?

I wouldn't suggest a no-lynch at all. I may have only played three fast games ten years ago, but I know that having a day one no lynch heavily favors Team Mafia. They don't have to try to create a mislynch, get to take out one or more Townies during night actions, and have an easier time writing off a mislynch in Day 2.

Any time someone says scum, my mind immediately goes to Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion (aka SCUMM.)



Off Topic - I like watching cooking shows while playing games, but really horrible people are cooking and eating cephalopods on this cooking show. /AngryMood

I was actually wondering what is going on with your rep. At no point ever did I take you for anything but mellow and personable, so it couldn't have possibly been an organic development.

As for games, hey, at least you're here with us and that's all that matters!

Is it weird that I think that cephalopods are really cute?

Semi-Random Cephalopod Fact - If you've seen Finding Dory, there's Hank the octopus that can change his color and blend into the background. There's a real-life octopus called the mimic octopus (Thaumoctopus mimicus) that can do just that on a much more impressive level. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wos8kouz810

This sounds like a very weak excuse for the gotcha. That with the fact I couldn't see why town would be so focused on my misread as below...
...Made me quite certain you were scum.

Also, while I'm here, you say here why you were questioning me...
...But that doesn't quite line up with this.
Also how are you supposed to do multiple quotes? I had to copy them by hand.

It appears 48 hours have passed since babark posted.

A bit. Those bald heads tend to be a lot more intelligent and aware than we give them credit, which has made me a lot more reticent about eating octopus in recent years despite being quite an enjoyable novelty for me while growing up.
