I am enacting a few rules for my Day 1 vote that have nothing to do with players' affiliations. They're just to be kosher and encourage community:

- I won't vote for any first time players (e.g., madrigal) on Day 1.
- I won't vote for Animal Midwife on Day 1, because I want her to benefit from this practice game in advance of The Real Deal.

If I am left with truly no better option, I might break these rules. But I'd like for them to work out.

Damn it. I guess I was waiting for a day start pm even though I know there was one saying when it would, maybe with a link because this forum is a bit hard to navigate. Then I completely forgot about start time because I was working and now I’m 6 pages late. Bah.

We've only just gotten started, so no worries. I'm interested to see how you feel about [gestures broadly at the thread so far]. You strike me as an eager solver based on my vague spectating of the last Syndicate game.

I am big on solving but I’m a little overwhelmed because I only skimmed and didn’t fully digest the 6 pages. I haven’t slept yet. I worked a 17 hour day and I need to start work again in…omg 3 hours. I’m so screwed. What an unfortunate time for this game to begin, Saturday night into Sunday I’m always working insane hours.

I’ll try to reread and stay caught up tomorrow (today, my brain hadn’t gotten there yet) but I may also be delirious so that should be exciting.

Sleep >>> Mafia

This silly game isn't that serious, so please be well. We'll all appreciate whatever you feel like providing to the game when you are reasonably able.

I’ve worked 30 hours since Friday and today I have a 17 hour day. Then I fly home early Monday morning. I’m going to make a GREAT first impression trying to play mafia in this state lol I’m ready for it, let’s see what I’ll be able to do with an hour of sleep. Be back in a few hours hopefully once I’ve clocked in at work!

If you weren’t new to our site I’d attempt to eat you for the wolfy popin intro instead I’ll squint and say I look forward to getting your thoughts.

This is also how I approach general games and champs practices. D1 at least I'm not interested in voting a noob, AM, or you regardless of how I'm reading any of the above

You can still sus me, I won’t get scared off lol don’t worry, when I town up it gets pretty apparent. I just need to actually get involved in the game first and being a zombie is hindering that at the moment. But I’ll get there!

I don't want to needlessly be contrary but this is a factoid that's been known about her for months (and thus can be played around). I'd consider it more AI if this was new information.
Click to expand...
I appreciate that others may perceive it differently of not assign any points for the whole exchange at all. But this was "known" by 3 ish of the roster as you pointed out later. Known in quotes as that requires the mental brain space for each of those players to store that knowledge.

I made an early town lean read on Samac based on her entry posts. No one posted to point out her tendency to ignore her role PM in that moment. It only came up when Samac herself said it and at least a few people expressed surprise. I am not shocked at all that you knew the information, but I still stand by my town lean of how Samac went about it was townie and likely would have actively been shooting herself in the foot if wolf (not like a big shooting, but like maybe shooting herself in the pinky toe - regardless these are the types of tone reads that I often have success with so I'm going to stick with it until we have more data points).

Is that how you mix your salads, Jimmy?
Click to expand...
Actually, yes! I place all of the salad contents into a tupperware-type thingy, close the lid, and shake the ever-loving **** out of it. That assures my 3.5 drops of dressing are dispersed!

I need to make sure this post has utility. Uh.

My see-saw read on Zenge is trending down again. "Down" is a strong word, but, like, there are no Zenge things. He is unremarked.
 
It seems the tags in the opening post did not work for everyone (even though I confirmed they actually had the appropriate tagging code, but whatever, WHATEVER SDN)

I have no good fix for this, other than individually PMing everyone to be like "HEY! SOMEONE DIED!", which I probably won't do.

Just letting it be known that tags may or may not work when we use them to alert you to thread events lol I am testing an alternative method in this post though, so let me know if these work.

This is also how I mix my salads, actually. But I’ve never thought of it as salad fight club before :thinkies:

Zenge in Matrix (Town, 2024):

ISO search link
In case that doesn't work because Xenforo is a butt, Game link

He got meaningfully involved right away.

Zenge in Lucky77777777777 (Town, 2024)

ISO search link
Game link

He engaged in a little opening silliness here, but he was also meaningfully involved before the thread reached 100 posts.

Zenge in Stardeww 2 (Town, 2023):

ISO search link
Game link

He took a bit longer to Do Things, though he was still right there in the mayor election of Day 0 being half-relevant.

None of this has to mean Zenge is a big stinky wolf right now. I don't know man. But this is what I meant before when I suggested Zenge was quiet/lurky. Out of sight, out of mind. He's not always like that.

I don't know a good Zenge wolf game to check off-hand. I haven't played in such a game, and I don't recall spectating one either. I acknowledge that'd be an important element.

I would be interested to see how this compares to his wolfing games but I also don't know them off the top of my head.
 
JaggedJimmyJay said:
I believe SAR is projecting her usual extremely high degree of town earnestness that she has had every time I've previously seen her as town. I acknowledge some danger in this kind of meta read. Still, as long as the SDN crew views her as town for basically the same reason, I am fine taking confidence in that.

This leads me to a town view of SARdoghandler.

How often have you played with SAR? It surprises me that you would be sus of Zenge for being lurky on D1 yet claim a meta on SAR.

i'm sorry but this jj feels nothing like the jj that duped lawpy. that's my yardstick.

Off the top of my head I know Zenge was a wolf in BoWWling because I also was, but at this point that was a long time ago.

I have probably played with SAR approximately the same number of times I have played with Zenge.

SAR looks like the SARs I have seen before. SAR has also been highly engaged in this game and provided more actionable content than nearly every other player. Zenge is doing less than the Zenges I have seen before.

I may take a look at BoWWling soon when I have a moment. Thanks.
 
We have less than 11 hours remaining. That's plenty of time, but it also demands a sense of urgency. As of right this moment, I don't think this game is pointing in a coherent direction. There hasn't been much opportunity for that, so we're going to have to make it happen by force.

I'd be very appreciative if everyone could give me 2-3 town reads and 2-3 least-town/wolf reads. That'd be a start. If you can provide more than that, even better.
 
I am trialing using a pole* (see top of thread) to track votes. Official tallies will still be posted intermittently since I'm not sure how well this will work yet. So, you must still post votes in-thread for them to be counted at this time.

* Get it? Pole= poll because roll = role? Anyway...​
