Ahem, the game does not begin until I say "Let the games begin".
Insolent peasants.

Touché. :)
Ah, so the problem is that it's a maybe-town point? I thought the problem was that it was too early to give out town points.
You can tell me whether I'm splitting hairs or Dp101 is scumming it up.
Why be ye sayin' tha' Dp101 be scummin' it up?

My problem with it is that every town point is a maybe town point at this point, as it is too early to really give them out. Therefore, saying that someone is probably town at the point Winston did, where there is basically no evidence at that point, is a easy thing to say to give the illusion of having content while not actually saying anything. It doesn't even tie them down that much because as mentioned earlier it is day one and since nearly everything is meaningless it is easy to state that you were wrong if you painted your mafia buddy as town. Really, I think that you are much more likely mafia at this point. You keep piling on the pressure onto someone who has made small logical gaps in the hopes that people will think inconsistency = mafia, and thus secure an easy early mislynch. If you are town, I would have thought that you are experienced enough to know that everyone slips up, both mafia and town. As it is, the fact that you don't give me the benefit of the doubt makes me suspect you.
FWIW I would agree that this is a possible way to play as mafia. I would like to think though that mafia slips up more often than town, and that the behaviour where you slightly modify your reasoning from post to post is seen more often in scum than in town.
I'd be interested to hear what the players from other communities think though.
RealmsBeyond, where I hail from, is rather infamous for the "inconsistency = scum" meta even though that is clearly not a golden rule.
Ok, I apologise for the comment about you not being fair with your reads, you are right, you are at least not voting me. And yeah, I know the last part kind of is a contradiction. In my defence, my initial reads list which sparked all this was posted at midnight my time, so I wasn't really thinking clearly. Anyway, I don't think I'm going to come up with a more coherent opinion right now, I will try and solidify my thoughts on day 1 meta at a different time.
It's never too early to give town points. Especially for karma.
This might be a decent point if I hadn't been spamming up the thread with all manner of nonsense.
A better line would be that I was posting shite just to look active.
The truth is that I was just enjoying myself and hopefully giving people stuff to talk about.
Am I going to regret telling you my whole townie playbook in our pre-hydra discussions?
Confidence says you're thinking like a townie. Paranoia says I told you exactly how to do that.
Yeah, I was a little worried that I would end up reflexively viewing you as town because of the hydra game and Novice as town because of the shared original community. Right now it seems like I was overcompensating for any bias I might have had and was viewing the both of you as more scummy than you are. Now however I have gained the clarity to realise that Novice is probably just either trying really really hard to find some kind of mafia or he thinks I'm mafia because that is all he has seen me play. As for you telling me too much, don't worry, you left yourself an out with the "will occasionally get drunk and post whatever" clause.
i suppose its not like cuths post was particularly convincing by any stretch and i could vote him for it
here's what youre saying just so that i'm clear...
you just HAPPEN to have that thought...that you don't like my entrance...on day one when nobody's entrance sounds "real" or "useful" or whatever...you just happen to think my entrance sounds fake and say that after 2 people push me and 2 more votepile onto me. that's your argument, right?
