Good morning. I exist. Hopefully, I will throughout this game.

I'm CCGeek, you can call me CCG or Shaun. (Or GGGeek when I gamesolve)

By a shitty vote post too.
I felt this so much. Someone clear this man for the duration of RVS.

Cary on
Day 1 readlists, while garbage-ish from an information perspective this early for others, are a decent starting point for any player's progression. +Town early into the day.

Hello clems-kun u_u
Very disappointed we didn't roll scum together


I just realized we have a Jolteon and an Umbreon in the game. Should I change my pfp to an eeveelution too? :eyes:

Generic trying to read and solve already is probably a good sign?
I dont count that as solving. I have a positive opinion of two people, ironically the only two known female players to me, so maybe im just being chivalrous? :neutral:
Nah, you're willing to put in the effort and not lurk, that's what matters in RVS.

Alright, now that we've got things sorted, let's yeet some scum! VOTE: CCGeek
Nice bus. :D

In post 37, Generic wrote: Just so everyone knows. I’m very unlikely to vote until the end of the day phase.

Tossing my vote out for statement reasons doesn’t work for me. And also because people tend to use past games as meta I learned that my town play should compliment my scum play, and what’s the one thing people like to lean on when trying to identify scum? Who they voted for (or didn’t).
Beyond that, I really don’t see anyone worth voting by for right now, the game has barely got going, and I recently got my eye in playing mafia again on another site which seemed to be a faster pace than here. At least I know I won’t fall behind on my reading of this one lol.
For your information, this indicates a really really bad mindset. Town's only method of poking around for scum on D1 is voting, and the less number of people voting, the less pressure created. Not using your vote on Day as Town is the equivalent of not using your NK as scum, that is, it comes up only in very niche situations. Apart from those fairly niche situations, you're mathematically better off using your vote. I think the fact that you're used to a faster format makes sense, because this mindset comes from the faster roomchat-based games. It is not really common that in a forum format, the first D1 wagon is the lim for the day. Even if we kill off a town D1, our consolation prize is the wealth of interactions they leave behind. We have a lot more time and a lot more potential for discussion.

Speaking of discussion, right now, nothing really pops out to me except for the scattered VC, which is really to be expected this early into a game. Let's just see how this devolves from here.


The one thing I'm probably not sold on is T3's faux(?) aggression, but I'm not at all familiar with anyone's PMeta in this game apart from Iavh's.

Speaking of T3, however.

In post 28, Black wrote: Generic trying to read and solve already is probably a good sign?
Reasoning for my read: I thought the way that Black said this was weird. Like, why not explain why Generic's solving could be a good or bad sign?
I agree that Black's tone is slightly off here, in the sense that exhibiting a desire to solve this early into the game is enough for an RVS-period clear, so the "probably" portion is slightly unnecessary and expresses doubt over something trivial, which is not the vibe I was getting from Black from her previous posts. I'm slightly more inclined to give temporary Town points to T3 for picking up on this. VOTE: Black

In post 41, Dannflor wrote: VOTE: T3
hi Dannflor, is this a random vote or is there some gutread involved in placing this vote?

In post 45, T3 wrote: Yeah but it was the way you phrased it that felt weird. Either way, I'm just grasping at straws to get discussion going.
The discussion will flow better once all of us have started actively participating and actively started wagoning.

Why are you so defensive? Surely you don't mind getting wagoned early D1, do you?

What difference does it make? Are you implying you wouldn't have voted for me had you known this?
No difference, I simply had missed it and was surprised when you said I put you to E-2.

meh. I think your entrance to the game is the scummiest out of everyone so far. If voting for you after you voted for me is OMGUS then so be it
Sure

i don't feel like i was being defensive at all tbh. Ironically I do mind getting wagoned but that's always been a thing with me

But I do have a question for you. In a 9p game, what do you think constitutes as a wagon?

I'm not sure what you are getting at with this question? I'd say 3 out of 8 possible votes qualifies as a wagon
Was an attempt to fish for the statement you made about not minding T3's vote.

In post 76, Generic wrote: Can I get everyone to give me their mafia experience/background/record?

Let’s put it like this:

Estimated completed games:
Have you had victories in a mafia team?:
Favourite alignment:

If a first game just declare yourself a n00b
For simplicity's sake, I'm going to break this down into two segments: MS and non-MS:

MS:
Estimated completed games: 4 or 5, have to check
Have you had victories in a mafia team?: No
Favourite alignment: Vanilla Townie

Non-MS:
Estimated completed games: 100+ or even more
Have you had victories in a mafia team?: Yes
Favourite alignment: Non-mafia Scum factions

To my understanding, RVS doesn't necessarily mean every vote is completely random? I thought it was meant to signify early D1, before any significant content was generated.

ok sure, i agree with this. the weird part to me is you saying your vote is "good enough" for RVS standards. your vote wasn't an attempt to join in on the RVS fun. you were trying to move the game forward
This feels like you're... tunneling? Clearly, my vote quality doesn't have to be much better than that of the RVS this early D1, as long as I find a somewhat plausible reason to push someone. My intent here was simply to put out content, "moving the game along", as you put it, was simply a cherry on the top.

anyway I'm fine with where my vote is for now
Hmm. I suppose we have our differences in how we view this game. I think it's too early for you to be on E-1, so I'll unvote, but consider my vote spiritually on you for now. UNVOTE: Black
