Well I don't 'know', I assumed that because roles went out 24 hours in advance, the chat would be open as well. There has always been a time allocation for pregame discussion in the mafia chat to say hi and figure out safe claims and whatnot.As I'm doing a second read-through, I'm gonna point out this: How would you know if scumteam had a day to talk in quicktopic?
Let's look at some really old game's of Ness's.
Smash Bros Mafia: Opened the QT at 3:46PM, game started at 9:05PM
Republican Primaries and Office SS3 and One Last Chance SS3: No Mafia chat
Game of Mafia: QT opened at 2:26PM. Game started at 9:00PM.
Murder of Woodpines Oregon (most recent): QT opened at 12:32PM. Game started at 10:00PM.
Look I know this is very weak to go off of, but Ness seems to have a habit of doing a mafia QT close to game opening. Heyden jumping to "a day to talk" is a large jump in time.
That's what I was thinking lmaoooo, I can't remember game where the quicktopic was closed by host until a few hours before the game starts??? It's immediately open as soon as you open your role PM afaik.Unless Heyden's call out of 24 hours for maf to talk stuck out to you because you as maf only had a few hours in actuality
^I've seen some 3rd party roles in experimental games have roles that would be designed like this so maybe there's actually weight to this
2. Trundle – I always have a hard time reading Trundle. He did seem overly fixated on minor points early on and has been forced to backpedal/explain away a lot of what he’s been saying in light of withering criticism from Geoni. However if I had to say what the Geoni and Trundle interaction is at the moment, I would say it’s way more likely to be town v town then anything else. It’s almost certainly not maf v maf attempting distancing in the first hours of day 1, in my opinion. Either they’re both town or one is maf in my view. I did find his phraseology in reference to me interesting – “inquisitive as always” or something like that – which could be interpreted as him keeping track of the townies that could potentially give him trouble. His “reaction test” of mog was weird too, especially at this early point in the game. He picked someone who wasn’t incredibly active or prominent to reaction test. Why does he keep calling players “interesting” – it’s a noncommittal bull**** weasel word that I think makes him look like he’s giving meaningful commentary on players when he really isn’t. Sometimes his comments read like a neutral observer of the game and not even an active participant. He also flip flopped on what should be a relatively uncontroversial statement – more information/posts = better for town – within an hour, in what came off to me as a pretty stilted way. Slight scumlean.

T / M v. M / T v. M. so i am filled with bias but i feel like evan was bleeding town in his entire reads post
but it's difficult for me to accept this part because i don't think trundle fits as mafia here. he has a handful of lines that i wish i could go back to but i have no idea how to search yet lol. specifically, i think it was the very direct reference to his role PM, i don't recall that it's common for a host to copy-paste a "town" PM here. so it's kind risky to mention specific wordings of PM unless given a town PM as a safeclaim.

If we're speaking solely on Ness games, I definitely remember talking tonnes with Dolby and Karen in scum chat prior to Day 1, so that's where my assumption lies.
Would it make a difference if I said 'the quicktopic opened a few hours before'? Not really. Its kind of just a basic assumption that I thought most people would have, nor would I call that out as a slip towards anyone. It just feels like obvious information? idk

i'm not typing in a poem
i'm just making sure i don't fail English
and according to trundle being busy is annoying lol
we've only talked about the town wincon, which is in the OP. Trundle apparently did not read his wincon and read off the summary in the OP instead
Oh, I see where you are coming from now. You are thinking I may have been looking at the OP to see the town win con because I didn’t know the town win con (as in if I was mafia).ah yeah i needed to re-read that entire conversation, which i actually just did (by way of a painful CTRL-F search). yes i realise trundle showed me how to search i have now seen the light
i think it's noteworthy that daniel picked up on that wording, as well as jacob and (on a lesser scale), geoni. i realise now that what i said about the role pm wording was true of DANIEL(/jacob/possibly geoni), not trundle. it's actually pretty odd that trundle referenced the OP to see town's wincon instead of his own PM
the funny part is that this moves geoni/jacob/daniel to a townlean and idk how to sort trundle anymore ^_^
Not alignment indicativenai?
