I'm going to voice my concerns regarding a
Trundle - It's day one and I have very little to work with but I feel like there's a couple of things I want to put forward nonetheless:
In my opinion, this fine
Gopher Gentleman's meta seems to be to always makes more of an effort on day 1 when he's scum, to really make sure that people notice that he's 'going to be trying very hard this game'. When he's town, however, he's normally worried about getting killed if he speaks too much and is therefore far less aggressive.
In this particular game he was one of the very first to really call someone out, with this post:
From what I've read so far, mafia are probably going to be really passive this game, especially if there are any mafia that are also in the TBT Discord Chat. I'm going to post a full reads list as soon as everyone posts. Meanwhile, Jacob is scum.
At this stage it seems almost like a reaction test, because he's saying it an assertive and confident way despite how little anyone's even been posting. People quickly people start asking him questions as for WHY he would think
Jacob is scum, and he goes through some rather decent effort with explaining himself:
Also, to elaborate on why Jacob is mafia, here is my short form case:
- When Jacob is mafia, he puts an extra amount of thought and care into his posts to appear pro-town. He has admitted this to me in PM. Last time he was mafia, after I was killed off, I PMed him because it was just so obvious. That same posting style is present here.
- When Jacob is town, his posts are generally shorter, less focused. Even if you look at the last line of his latest post, you get this:
The fact that he took the time out to even put meta & gut feeling in quotation marks goes to show he was thinking pretty hard about what he was saying as he was writing it. I'm voting for Jacob.
Personally, I felt that his points could be valid at this stage. However, since then he's been tunneling on
Jacob with a certainty that once again seems very uncharacteristic of Day 1
Trundle - Many times he expresses that's he's "more or less sure" that
Jacob is scum. That's the most worrying part for me, because although there's definitely a chance he's correct, day 1 reads are normally inaccurate at best and being so focused on a single person at this stage isn't much like town-
Trundle at all. If
Trundle is Mafia however, it would make sense, since he said that
Jacob might also be blue pretty early on:
The only uncertainty that really comes is that it's slightly possible that he is a blue role. He's either blue or mafia. But I'm quite certain he is mafia.
From a scummy viewpoint, he might feel that it's worth being fairly aggressive in planting suspicion onto
Jacob if he thinks there's a large chance we might mislynch a power role.
Anyways, I do not think that this is enough to go on to push for a
Trundle lynch on day 1 - But I am curious if other players who have played previous games with
Trundle also feel similar regarding his meta being off this game, if he's actually town.
Some other quick notes:
Ayaya and
Alexi are both clearly trying to seem very pro-Town so far. Either that's because they are in fact innocent, or it's because they strongly want to be perceived that way. Overall I think it's good to have a lot of information and reads put forward by a player as it tells a lot if/once they die and their role is revealed - But if either
Ayaya or
Alexi would be scum I can almost guarantee that they've hidden a Mafia teammate or two in their "case posts".

Also, when exactly does the day end? How many hours do we have to vote? I'd really like a timer.
