No worries, it's chill

Going off of how people would vote in Madness, the first person to vote for anything other than 'abstain' is typically innocent, and usually confident they can convince the rest of the group as such. Either that or a jester-type role. A mafia normally knows that a bold move like that is going to draw attention to them that they can do without. I know Madness and Mafia aren't exactly the same game, but the logic behind it would still apply. So I have a strong townlean for Dan right now.
tbh I think the potential scum pairing we should be considering the most rn is Jacob and Trundle
nope and they‘ve only really talked about editing posts lol seems like they are just posting filler lurking till we vote. Scum lean
Right now my big brain pairing is Trundle and Mogyay
Also I will just state for the record that while I trust Daniel for the time being, I do find it strange he just deadass agreed with my reads post and didn't seem to offer any level of disagreement or clarification on it. Contrast this with glow, who did state she agreed with a lot of what I said, but then snipped out a portion of my reads on Trundle and indicated disagreement with my Trundle read.
Not saying Daniel is remotely scum but this is an uncharacteristically lazy move on his part, imo
Honestly your reads posts and what developed after was enough for me to townread you strongly.
I think Dan is worldbuilding in a way that doesn't come off as orchestrated and I like his paranoia about me, feels healthy. Trundle vote shows commitment to solve. Came out of the win condition discussion looking the most towny by nature of being the first to be correct. Dude is solid town for me until further notice.

I'm just looking at the readslist from Trundle I still hate, the flat out (initially) scumread of Mogyay and turned around immediately said it was a reaction test which is why I big brain see it as potential distancing theater but eh, just hyperfocused on that specific readslist I guess.
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
I doubt I’m actually going to be lynched today, but if I am I recommend people who I consider to be strong town players like @glow, @amazonevan19, etc to make a reads list TODAY assuming that I have already flipped town. It’s very likely that if I am lynched, mafia will just take out at least 1 strong town player.
I was wondering, but is Daniel usually confident from his meta? Kind of a bold move to vote Trundle first and immediately. Can't say much about Daniel since this is the first time I've seen everyone in action, but from the way Daniel deduces he seemed confident and really sure that the vote wasn't made in hesitation and he didn't need more input to change his mind.

Sorry, might clarify that the 'bold move' was voting first and immediately. I'm not surprised they'd suspect Trundle.
I just want to point out a couple things here before we get deep into his posts.1. What's your experience? (How long have you played mafia/town of Salem/anything similar)
Been playing TBT maf since 2015, but I'm not sure the game count
2. What's your preferred alignment? Why?
3rd party assassin always <3 I like to not be on a team
3. Name 3 people for the scum team right now.
blindly clear that Mog, Punchy and Heyden are mafia. Heyden and punchy for the whole
4. Which player scares/concerns you the most?
I'm not scared of any players but im scared to disappoint crys
5. How do you react to pressure?
/avoid thread/ lol
6. (Optional) What're your pronouns?
He/collectible lord/him
I honestly didn't see the
"Town Win Condition: Eliminate all threats to the town.
Mafia Win Condition: Equal or outnumber the town. "
in the op until after I posted, I just assumed you read off your role PM wincon. I think this is a very not alignment indicative back and forth tho because you're both referencing things that are on the OP.
In these posts he seems to be still of the opinion that Daniel and I are both town. He honestly was getting a small amount of heat for his bold, early claim, so he defends himself. When he comes back to the thread, he is asking Geoni why he is town leaning me.View attachment 235342
no I said I thought DAN read his wincon off the pm which matched mine, which is why i TL'ed him. I just assumed aiden was town based on their back and forth, and the fact that I saw exactly where he pulled his idea of the town wincon straight off the OP, before I saw where dan did
I think Jacob's post here is weird. If he thinks I'm town, why is he having a hard time believing Geoni also might think I'm town. Geoni's post was clear enough to me so it almost seems like Jacob is flipping here so he doesn't have to defend me for the rest of D1 if pressure starting getting mounted on me.I had to cut the quotes down because this new TBT format is super bulky and I would just get confused.
Geoni do you wanna explain why you townlean Trundle? Did I miss it? It looks like from the first quote you're hesitant about something, then you just TL him over Null reading him and didn't say anything about why
inb4 mog is mafia like always
I'm getting a red flag from these. If Jacob thinks he knows mog so well, why doesn't he just make a read on her one way or another. There is no point analyzing someone's behaviour if you are not going to lend the analysis towards a read.In mogs defense she didn't really use meta as her own defense so much as replying to me describing her "meta" in a non-accusing way. Again she's just very introspective
i don't think META reading someone as introspective as mog is a good d1 tactic. She leaves and enters every game thinking about her emotional responses and wording and everything, so she easily can be masking or intentionally rewording things to confuse ppl reading her meta
Again, Jacob claims mog is "introspective". Whether or not he is right doesn't really matter right now. I can see this conversation as mafia x mafia due to how aware of each other they seem to be, although this could just be due to them being pretty good friends outside of mafia.that's not true jacob, my meta is always consistent, i like it that way, i can't play as mafia, everyone knows that, since the first time i played as mafia i have not improved or changed my play style and that's a fact, it's stupid only playing this game in hope i don't roll mafia but that's how i play
It's very wishy washy and while I don't think the entire mafia team is trying to push a lynch on me, I am sure there is 1-2 that would be trying to push it in my direction and 1-2 that are trying to defend me so to save their own asses.ik that's why i said my comment was dumb and why i'm sorry lmao, ik that meta can be important so i shouldn't have said that, i just don't think we should live and die by the meta, i more so said it so that the new players wouldn't be scared but i admit it was dumb now, sry
based on this game alone and none others i'd say he seems pretty scummy, i think his backtracking seems more self serving than for the benefit of us, i think if he was town he shouldn't necessarily have to be so apologetic since i don't think anything from what he's said has been that destructive despite what him saying it has. i also don't like the whole pm thing, super weird, the first thing u notice is the wording so i dno. in saying that tho it's like not like 'omg let's lynch him now' kinda stance lol, just a bit weird
If there were supposed to be a lot of quotes in that big message, just wanted to say it looks like half of them didn't show
Okie Ty! Just out of curiosity what exactly did you find suspicious of Trundle?
5. DinoTown - Seems to be keeping very good tabs on the game but hasn't really contributed much yet. I would really like a reads list. Overall, I think the eagerness to ask questions regularly put DinoTown as town lean for me. If they were mafia, they would just ask their QT chat about this stuff.Yeah but I don't have any firm suspicions yet but I'm starting to get suspicious of Trundle @PandaDarling
Just reading Jacob x mog interactions it just seemed the most likely to me. I had not done that until this morning.it’s interesting that your read of mog is actually more of a further read of jacob and barely talks about mog’s posts at all. also you said you reaction tested her and that her reaction was town to you, what changed?
girl why i got 3 quote notifs Im in classanyway yes i dont have hard reads on day 1 i don't think that should be a shocker for anyone to not. I have an exam in 20 minutes ive been studying for but so you guys dont go rampant on lynch train I'll address that I said I "avoid the thread" when I get pressured, which I haven't been
I'll be back after my classes of course but don't expect full wall post reads, I don't think I'll be able to nor do i think its helpful to just BS full reads on everyone day one. I will do what I can tho
Personally I think at this point a full reads list is warranted, but obviously his exam is a good excuse for the time being loli’m not expecting for you to make a real read list, but you haven’t commented on really anything substantial in the game. my problem with you is that you’re not engaging with the game, but not that you’re posting full reads (i’m not)
is a bit weird when other players have been able to come up with reads lists with ease. Trundle also requested one from me when I don't feel as if I'm in a place to make one, so clearly having a reads list sorted is a thing that people do, even on day 1, even when there's not much to go from, so saying that you don't have one is a bit hmm to me. IDK if it's hmm enough for a scum learned, but it's hmm. Again though, this is what I see as a newbie who does not know people's metas.i dont have hard reads on day 1
This is one of the only posts I've seen where someone actively points out the 'what if the newbie act is a sham' which is a good point to make, even if it is 'reachy'. Obvs not saying it is the case here, but just wanting to say that this dude here has the cogs turning and is thinking about possibilities of what is going on behind the scenes. I don't think a maf would be the only one to stand up and make a claim like this. I sure know it's never a maf when it happens in Madness because it's usually me and I've never been maf in Madness so townlean I think for now.5. DinoTown – asking a lot of questions, seems to be trying his best to navigate a lot of unfamiliar territory and terminology. I do find it interesting that Trundle chose him as a better newbie over Emolga, could be indicative of a mafia coaching relationship (ie Trundle coaching Dino to act clueless), but that’s too reachy a conclusion to come to atm. For now I will slight townlean him because he seems genuine, but do be aware of him as we keep going.
You guys were right beside each other on the player list. I definitely didn't have it sorted out who was who yet. Not really relevant regardless though.20. Harbour - I know for a fact that this person is a least a lil bit newbie. I'm not sure. Thinking about who's newbie and who's not just makes me wonder why Trundle made it me vs Emolga as 'better newbie' when Emolga and me weren't the only choices. I'm getting distracted. I'll just null for now.
Dan I think you should get over yourself if you think I need to suck up to you to earn towncred, get less paranoid and actually read the content and things I'm pointing out? You and another person are saying my initial reads are forced and don't explain why from what I see. As a result it feels a bit disenfranchising which is annoying and not helpful. If you have a problem with me being conflicted about my reads we have a long road ahead of ourselves, but that's just something that comes with time. The stance you take on day 1 and the wagons you form affect the way the rest of the game plays out. That being said, Trundle should be a wagon here but I feel like not enough people are really going into people like Heyden, tae, Jacob, and even shaebae.
