Hi dyachei. Yeah I'm pretty sure it's the same cuth, didn't even think about it being a different person tbh.
Nice cat avy
I'm multitabling and can't really consistently devote a bunch of time to this game so far
I see a lot of village reads being thrown out for merl1n can someone talk about why?

As far as I can tell, it's because his play seems hard to fake for someone who's playing forum mafia for the first time.
But admittedly I'm a bit curious as to how people would have been reading him if not for that.

Not even counting the fact that he is new to forum mafia. There are just so many solving posts with an ACTUAL thought process behind them. It doesn't seem like he is holding back or there are topics he is trying to avoid. He's been pretty much poking at everything that exists.
Unlike ladd who just calls things tone without discussing actual content of other people.
oof
after this sick call out I may be unable to get sleep
Not supposed to be a sick call out. You are one of the least villagery people itt
Meh. I guess my biggest strife with ladd is that he never talked to me about any of my reads while having me as one of his 2 villa reads and being the only one around. From what I can gather he doesn't wolf read GH. Ladd, do you have a read on Cuth?

Like I feel you would have responded to me after I answered your question but for some reason you didn't wanna.

The bottom one. Is there a way to clear multi quotes on mobile other than by unclicking each quote individually?

Post caps are all well and good, but they're too crude when most people by inclination or conditioning are going to cluster around the high end of the distribution. A post cap just can't reproduce what we have in this thread preceding my post, <30 posts in 12 hours (somehow less active than CFC!). Also, light games are all 13 players IIRC. What about games with triple that number? And the cap comes down during EOD anyway, though I suppose a strict cap probably hasn't been tried (too unpopular?).
We need a sophisticated set of incentives, yet falling short of an actual posting-oriented game mechanic because that's an unwelcome distortion against the rest of the design. Otherwise, establish a consensus social context, like the one governing speaking volume in libraries. Catch-22: how will players trust a high-player space enough to sign up before a high-player game has demonstrated a manageable rate of activity?
Back to the game: Are insaner, Merlin, Zack, and empoof seriously all consensus town-leans now? Talk about first-mover advantage. I can't say it's terrible, but meh. It's not good. Merlin and insaner can have D1 towncred though.
(The careful observer notes that town-leans are all town-leans because they have each other town-leaning each other, which means either an unbreakable town core or our doom as Mafia have seized narrative control.)
I think Cuth posted a Cuth kind of analysis post from my limited experience with him, but usually its been done in the context of a flow of a bunch of other posts trying to explain/defend himself. IIRC.

Wait, are you offering wrong reads for others to push their agendas on? Are you third party? Oh shit, is this a cult game?

I could also pretend empoof is a villager for making reads I mostly agree woth but i should probavly read his psts better and/or he should post more before
Unironically (by all appearances) ranking yourself below another player is sketchy. Are you 3P?

I'll read more into Cuth. I was willing to call him a villager, but P#170 makes me think otherwise.

I kind of agree, actually. On the other hand, prior to his posting more here this may be nothing more than a reproduction of his uneasily subdued play in the CFC game just now, where he was lynched D1. In which case I should defend Logic against being lynchbaited.
It's possible his playstyle may also have just shifted, since I've been in only a couple of games with him since 2017.
Vote: Barto
You complain about us town-leaning each other possibly being indicative of mafia seizing thread control, then vote the same person we're all suspecting without explanation?

I don't think he was villagery at all since I don't recall him posting any reads really but that isn't what everybody is sussing him for.

Wait, who exactly are all the wolfy people going after Barto? Zack is the strongest pusher of him and you have Zack as one of your townreads.

That's… not helpful.
I suppose I'd better start reading a chunk of +100 posts in one go and try to unravel something.
I thought choxorn's back and forth with newyn was overly self-serious and a bit LAMIST
merlin seems extremely comfortable in the thread for a supposed newcomer, and properly inquisitive as well
empoof seemed very laid back and at ease, which I associate more with how he behaves as a villager than as a wolf
newyn and ladd have opened about how I would expect if they were villagers, but it's also pretty easily something they could do as wolves
I'm meh on egix, slightly less meh on logic, and a bit less meh than that on dya
the watchmen hbo series is excellent and I highly recommend it
I forgot the cowboys were playing until just now

I don't know how but, a few months away from turning 30, I feel that i don't have the levels of insanity required to batshit-post my way through two games in stereo, so I'll take on this game as I do the 36/12s on MU. Out for the day in the summer heat, back home, concentrate on the thread a bit, then back into overnight horror film marathons. I just can't post 12 hours in a row as I did when Zack et al. first knew me.

The emotes on this site are truly glorious.
I found out my free trial of netflix ends tonight so I'm probably just going to watch stuff and wait for the other half of the game to be readable.
Might play minimafia too, depends on how much netflix I watch tbh.
If you have any good recommendations lay them on me, but I'm probably just going to watch the end of stranger things season 2 and the end of breaking bad so I can do season 3 / the breaking bad movie.

This is the same thing choxorn did to newyn that I disliked cause it just feels fake, and masquerades as promoting productivity when it's actually completely unproductive
