Can you elaborate on what your beef is with ‘neon’. Is this just a revenge angle from a prior game or is there a more tangible reason to want him gone (I.e. does he have a history of trolling as village / throwing games?). I haven’t played in a while so any help catching up on player dynamics / metas would be appreciated.
I generally am of the opinion that a day 1 no vote is silly in NOCs, it’s just too conservative. Even if we misvote as long as there is good discussion and several alternatives under consideration then we can see who steered things where later on.
Opening read on pulsar is slight town because the stream of consciousness felt genuine to me and I think that it is less likely a mafia (or third party) would open with that vs. a townie. I dislike their proposed no vote strategy but I don’t think the suggestion was made out of malice / from a mafia perspective.
If people could post reads early and often that’d also be good, even if it’s just a soul read or a vibe check the whole point of day 1 is to see who is buddying with who and (more importantly) who is avoiding who. Even if we are wrong in some of our reads it’ll be a lot harder for mafia to hide their teammates in the ‘neutral’ reads bucket if we are proactively trying to sort.
Alright I’m out for most of the day but will try to make a post with updated reads when I’m off work. Please keep my thoughts above in mind because NOCs often end up being decided by Day 1 (not necessarily the vote outcome, but the player dynamics established during it).
For now vote Jalmont because the last time we played together he was a bit lazy so I think this is an optimal start of day kick in the pants. My vote will stay here until Jalmont posts reads on everyone who has made a meaningful post.
