Because they're the first one my list :O they're the first one everyone's list
what has flandrs even done to make you believe this?
probability wise most people are bad odds rn, if we keep maintaining this philosophy we'll end up w an endgame of low activity which unideal imo :/ we did just lose a game to that
ik ive been a proponent of "sometimes we shout keep around inacs" but clearly thats not been working
Guess they wanted to give their kid a...NEW TOY badumtss
Sorry I had to get that out of the way
Do you have any reads yet?
I think I'm fine with a shot on Celever(Texas' explanation seems good and I think he's town here), Flanders(probably a slightly worse but being inactive still seems scummy from flanders' end, you'd think that he'd have picked a fight with someone by now) but the shot I'd advocate the most is:
Angrypidgeon. I don't feel like he's any different from the previous game, feels like he's doing the same thing where he makes comments that don't really lead anywhere towards solving/ have mech discussion that isn't really useful.

Texas Cloverleaf why do you think that Tommy is maf here?
So what's your suggestion to hit an active then? Not like there's much info to decide on that too, this felt like a nothing answer
The only thing I will say is that if you do shoot an inactive, a good contingency plan in case you're wrong is to request them to shoot des/skipper since they're impossible to read. The reason I'm not asking you to shoot them is because it's be such a rand that I would not want you to risk it(but making inactives risk it is better)
Actually eh. Skipper is slightly easier to read but he does anti town things as town so often that idk

interesting, had the opposite reaction to what flanders posted
tagging AG in thread directly to say that he had no idea game started felt performative
it's possible for him to be town and take that stance, the phrasing just read as deliberate to me in a way that was trying to project an irritated villa image, and the game hadn't even been going for that long at the time to reasonably justify the level of frustration he'd have if he was town and mad about not being aware the game began
to expand on AP, it's mostly driven by one specific thing; i believe the above post about his reaction to af's reaction to hydro having the gunAh interesting. Like I said, this is my first time playing this setup that I recall so I hadnt really thought about it at all. I just checked my phone and saw Hyhy was chosen and thought "ok", and scrolled down and was surprised to see you thought it was an unusual pick. I guess my stance as scum would be to elect a gunbearer who I think I can pocket to start with and then hope town makes a comedy of errors. Which lets be honest, there probably will be a comedy of errors by town
it's the type of observation mafia often have a hard time replicating because it requires a level of attention to how you think people should be reacting that you just don't often see mafia bother layering on in their fake reads, at least not this early in the game. it also just comes across as a legit read to me, i could trace it through when i looked back to see what he was referencing
i'd shoot flanders if i had gun at the moment
AP and texas would be off the shotlist - lower confidence on texas, i just like the fact that his first real post about what he'd do with gun wasn't a follow-up to him saying shoot dusk with an explanation of the dusk scumread and instead was about celever, shows a lack of care about early read structure and progression that treads v most of the time
realiti townlean but wait and see what he does after trying to paint himself green and dance all over the thread
he would and has done this assertive i'm-town-and-you'll-see stuff as town so it's not a net negative for him, i think his alignment just becomes more evident in his level of consistent effort throughout the game in times when he doesn't have to put in that effort if he was mafia. most prominent scum realiti red flag is when he coasts when he's in a position where he or his team aren't in any immediate danger, though this doesn't translate perfectly to a popcorn style game
don't see how you came to des town realiti - they had two posts when you townread them and it was "hi" and "hello" & i know surely you'd know that something like that can stem from a newer player feeling obligated to post in thread early if they randed mafia

i feel like this is strange like if youre town obviously its not ideal to get shot (a town dies) but like. now you have it like youre better than the avg shot noTexas: let’s shoot celever
Everyone: ok
tho maybe this is too shortterm thinking
