My vote right now is kinda hovering between Starlitglitch and Random. Starlits last post had such massively conflicting energy to it. Just the swap from 'yeah I agree voting low effort people is good' to 'yeah i prefer no-voting this, adios'. I'm just not sure if this is new player energy or the energy of someone afraid to commit to anything while still pushing.
Could I ask you though, what about your thoughts on who to vote? If you're not down to vote Trent or Shawo then has anyone else interested you?
is there any reason for wanting to vote one of the two most inactive (but has still posted) players?
what benefit does voting most for more inactive players bring?
i'd like to see more interactions from both betsy and sidney still.
sidney's "im not posting bc i only post with value to bring" rubs me wrong, because even if your posts aren't super fleshed out and meaty any info helps. i can understand not wanting to clog the feed with ****-posting, but like, not wanting to post out of fear of how it'll be interpreted is kinda... sus. i'd rather be wrong on first day suses and try and get more info out of people than sit in the shadows and worry about how people are going to react to me posting / not posting.
i was also originally gut sus on you simply for being like "OH YEAH d1 VIOLENCE!" and then dipping out, but i think your timesozne is vastly different if i remember you being the one asking for bribes on a not 4am EOD during sign ups. theres a few people im up in the air for, but i've also never played with the majority of you so theres no past experience to bring to my feelings.
Hi guys, just a wee reminder that editing your posts is not permitted. I know there is a delay in that "Last edited by..." message showing up publicly on posts but on the staff-end we can see that a couple of posts in this game have changed significantly since they were originally posted.
at his postings since I'm not really sure what to make of him either. The vibes are bad but not hyper maim worthy. I need to sit on that I think.

Random I think my earlier statement still rings true to. Just. No effort no nothing?? I'm not sure if I'd vote Random out over other options but it's being considered.
My vibes are immaculate, I'll take no other answer for that.
Your vote hovering between two low effort contributors, one who's time zone is a pain for them to greatly interact with the rest of us and one who's had nothing of real substance is frankly shameful? If you're going to vote to Elim, you ought to be swinging big otherwise don't waste our time. Is @Totally_RandomYT being considered mostly because you believe they'll skate by with enough low effort posts to avoid replacing?
HELLO hello I'm here hello I'm so sorry I'm gonna be honest I COMPLETELY forgot about this game and I was at a convention this weekend very busy in and out of cosplay. I promise to be active now
I'll catch up soon and tell you all what I think.

Are you referring to Randoms case specifically with the question? If you are it's mostly got to do with me not enjoying cryptic inactive slots making it far in the game. I'd rather solve them now than later. If it's a total coin toss right now on if the person is maf or not then it might remain that way later on too. On tbt at least we've had two games I can think of where such a cryptic slot made it to the final day and then either won as town or mafia due to town self destructing around them or due to the mafia player overpowering them.
That said it's very true the benefits there are dubious between not much info being gained from a Random vote + the only solid benefit being denying a 'what if' scenario.
If you were referring to Starlit then I p much said my reasoning for me considering the vote, just that one post being so very weird. I'm kicking myself for not noticing it sooner but I was focused on Sidneys case and Starlit I assume went to bed before I poked. I'm not really sure how to explain the benefits to that vote since it's just me feeling the most wolf vibes from that post compared to everything else that has been said.
Also yeah my timezone is weird and I admit I was initially a bit weirded out by your response to me since I actually did post after the violence post and I specifically said I was gonna go crash in that one.

i think if random doesnt make at least one post today with substance they're modkilled anyway tho?
so why waste a vote on someone who's on the chopping block to be mod killed? dan is an on top of it host, but i just for the life of me cannot stomach the idea of vote elim-ing someone who's been so inactive with no reads, no content or anything to add to the discussion.
the only info it brings is their role. but if they get modkilled we get the same info regardless.
like if they don't post, we gain no info based off of whats been said. rebuttals, prods, pokes, interactions w/ other players. it's basically just a vote to kill because you can. which is uh, kinda gross homie.
Doesn't the activity rule say it's one substantial post once every two day phases? Wouldn't that mean the modkill would happen n2 if they remained inactive?
Also for what it's worth I did say the whole voting based on activity was something I'd do if there wasn't anything else to go off of. I'm currently more interested in Starlit since they have actually done something that pinged me. I'd like some thoughts on Starlits actions tbh since it's pretty clear they won't be here for EoD.
i was about to ask this same thing about iso. i REALLY dont like the idea of having to manually click quote each damn post. but i also dont remember how to do it. help us

for the record my sus on both of them was based on past games played years ago with half- jabs and just stir the pot antics as a basis.
Trent’s always a hard read for me. at lease from my recollection. it’s been years since we’ve played a game together but he’s got good points and is pretty observant and well structured when he posts. he’s a good player and easily top two most experienced players in this game. idr if he’s always been a “i’m down for a no elim” d1 kinda guy but trent’s a sus simply based on the fact he’s trent and i can’t read him well in the beginning. trent’s valuable and i would not actually vote him d1 elim based on where his posts have fallen now. he pushes but isn’t giving me scum vibes off his questions and posts.
shawo is a menace to society and also top two most experienced player in this game. from the last game we played shawo is good with structure of games, math, ****-posting, and stirring the pot. last game we played together he was absolutely unhinged to say the least and was scum team pushing a hard tunnel onto me. this game he seems less unhinged and idk if that’s bc it’s been years since we played or because maybe he’s less unhinged when he’s town. or maybe his hearts not in it. it’s too early to tell. i also wouldn’t seriously vote him d1 simply because of our previous game played outcome- that was a **** post to stir the pot on him.
based off of what they’ve both posted from last night into today i don’t hard read either of them as scum- it’s mostly d1 gut feelings because all you have to base off of right away is past meta / experience with people you’ve played with along with hard focusing their wordings.
as far as who to believe has the better outcome for d1 elim vs no elim- i’m dumb as **** when it comes to mechanical game logistics with forum mafia and i usually gut feeling tunnel when i see something that feels scummy. my gut feeling towards their interactions seem more town v town imo- at least at this current spot in time.

ok mobile is asinine to post with jfc.
@Sheep Villager you don’t like trent’s d1 no elim but do you have anyone you’re leaning towards for your vote for d1 instead? anything at all- gut feeling, a vendetta from past game etc
Post automatically merged:
i also would like to know more about random’s “got it” post with no substance added to the game outside of their “i’m also playing pokémon go and it’s litwick”
idk if random is brand new to mafia or just less active than the rest of us in the thread, but as far as no posts of substance random’s #1 in that category. only beaten out by people who’ve literally not returned to the thread since signing up.
Post automatically merged:
if it’s potentially seen as sus regardless of posting amount- be it too little or too much, wouldn’t the town option be to still post and contribute? even if your beginning sus isn’t super hard, isn’t it beneficial to push for more information than to hide in the shadows?
I’m very sorry!! I forgot that the game would be in a new thread and just checked notifications yesterday, so I thought that the game must’ve been starting late but I’m here now!
Like I mentioned in the other thread because of my timezone I won’t be able to be online right at EOD
As far as ww goes I was in a round on TBT last year with only two other people haha Otherwise I’ve played a few round with people on another AC forum, I tend to be eaten second
I quickly read through all of the posts now but I’ll have to go through them again to get everything that’s been said
And personally my reason to not elim would just be that round one there’s so little information/it’s a easier to be guided a certain way to vote without realizing it that I feel the risk of eliminating a townie is very high
Same with Sheep Villager when I've played WW where we were forced to vote someone out each round, round 1 I'll vote for whoever hasn't talked yet since it's less of a loss to lose an inactive townie and if you don't go after inactives at all it's too easy for the ww to stay quiet and go unnoticed
If I'm remembering correctly who has posted @Totally_RandomYT and @tessa grace are the only two I'd label as inactive/silent so far. But, I'd still prefer to do no elimination. Since it's 10:30 pm for me (I'm in JST) and will be asleep durig EoD I'm putting in my vote now for that.
Ultimately there's nothing of any real substance in Starlit's posts so far that, like Sidney, gives me any real reason to entertain the thought of maybe eliminating them Day 1. Sidney of course has moved up in voicing opinions when pressed, Starlit didn't really interact much. It seems like you're hung up on their final post before dipping out for the night? If anything their No Elim vote is more reasonable than mine because they will not be here when things get chaotic before EoD and voting for a low contributor is boring.
I've played a hefty amount of games here, since about may 2021. I'm trash at the game though haha, and for some reason I am always in f3 and I always screw it up for my side.
Ok but this is an emotional appeal to no elim in a logical game. You act like bloodlust is an issue but if someone was going to get eliminated d1, than they're likely to get eliminated d2/d3 as well. By trying to "save" someone, you're giving town one less chance to vote off who they need to vote as well. I mean, just hope the detective gets lucky is a way for town to win. But it's not like you're backing it up with statistical odds either.
This makes sense to me. While reading d1, I feel like I'm agreeing with the anti-no-elim train. I usually am for games though, because for starters it gives mafia less ability to control the game because pushing a vote can look really suspicious especially day one.
Adding on to this on page 6, with the Sidney versus Shawo stuff. I've played fanes with Shawo hosting before, but I don't think we've ever played before. Started looking at his games and his energy is kind of always controversial, or just upfront in general which is good cause it stirs the pot, and I don't think he would push an elim so strongly if he was mafia d1. Thats an easy way to get people to vote you out.
is there any reason for wanting to vote one of the two most inactive (but has still posted) players?
what benefit does voting most for more inactive players bring?
To me, this is a townread. Voting inactive is useless when inactive will already get kicked/replaced eventually. Being inactive imo is usually less intentional than people think, for example I just spaced the whole game and was a little too busy to play at first. I should've set a reminder so it's on me, but my or anyone else's lack of activity shouldn't be a read on their role. Their posts combined with the activity? Occasionally. But I think it's good to focus on the actual posts that they make.
Okay thats all I really have to say about today, idk there isn't much going on and my brain likes to speculate and not elaborate, if you have any questions for me I'm down to answer them, lets shake things up a little
As a side note here btw, if anyone ever feels like I'm coming off too harsh on another player during game then I do apologize for that. I genuinely don't mean to be mean or bully anyone.
