I think your last game was with me and we just had too many ??? people. I also remember voting poorly because I wasn't sure anymore what others were doing and why.
So, I went as far as making a notepad for the next game where I can just try to pinpoint what I did wrong. The thing I did wrong was not understanding how the newer players play and why. The game was winnable, but I guess that doesn't matter anymore.

In general, the first phase is often yeeted away because people usually don't go on a survey crusade to find as much info as they can while sharing info over hypotheticals. It's not even because they don't want to. It's often because others are trying to keep the game to themselves and while that's helpful on the mechanical part of the game, it can also be detrimental for solving the average local townie.

i am not a fan of how you play twg haku it makes me wanna immediately scum read you but i'm pretty sure i've been wrong every time i've ever done that lmao (been awhile though so don't hold me to that)

6/10 would recommend again

Right now, our little bird has said exactly four things:

1. Squawk
2. Kikikikik
3. R-r-r-r-r-r-r
4. Sqauwk (I interpret this as a Squawk, but more gangster)

So let's put our heads together Haku. What is squawk? What does Charu mean when he says squawk? Is he being friendly? Is it a sign to follow him in some form of dance? Is it a mating call for other birds? We will never know.

Kikikikik, I would interpret as a sign of playful laughter. The bird is having fun pecking at the keyboard and is pleased with himself with what he has written

R-r-r-r-r-r-r... Ahhh you see, this is a sacred chant, done by the holy birbs of Denmark. It is said that if, a mere human were to repeat this chant, their ears would explode and their eyes would shrink into the size of pennies!!

and finally, we have Sqauwk, which shows that our bird ain't no bitch and has seen some things in the hood.

The lesson we have learned here is that our bird, Charu, is having trouble with his words. Fortunately for us, Charu appears to be a breed of parrot, so I think once he's done being shy, he will talk with us

That is all the wisdom I can bestow upon you

The group of people that agreed to this post is also unfortunate. Shadow_God_10, Cold Kitten, mellonxcollie

There's a stance, but no justifications as to why or how.
How am I supposed to even react to this ? Feels like a parking strategy.



Hey it's world time. Vendetta/tn5241/FFA.
The reason ? They all voted Charu.

Charu posted in sign-ups that his play would be low activity.
My surface level detective work is done.

Anyway charus a wolf I'll see you all later, maybe

No.



Probably, but also no.



Unless moderators don't randomize wolf selection, I don't agree with this either.

The group of people that agreed to this post is also unfortunate. Shadow_God_10, Cold Kitten, mellonxcollie




If you don't mind me asking, why charu? Is he known to only do the bird thing as wolf? Or do you just not like that he's committed to only squalking?



I've played a lot on mafiascum, and a few games on a bunch of other websites. Your post was a relatively generic "call to action" type post that attempts to get people to take the game more seriously.
Which is, incidentially, something I wholeheartedly agree with. Page 1 is slim pickings when it comes to forming reads.

If this isn't the case, then why Charu? We're not even 24 hours into d0

Is this a RVS vote or is it serious?

I'll come back later and see what's up

FFA likes tn5421 and the Charu stuff doesn't look particularly serious.

Charu is doing pretty much what he said he would do in sign ups thread.

Raeko (mellonxcollie) looks pretty normal so far. I think I like it.
bugkid666 feels a little like Raeko to me, just being here and trying to understand what's going on kind of vibes.

Shadow_God feels like a one trick pony playstyle where he just reacts to everything he sees.
tn5421's playstyle reminds me of FreezinIce a little. I feel like it's a good presence for eventually making things happen.

Roundbox typed one word and peaced out.
Sunfan is similar to Roundbox.
Choof / funnygurl didn't post yet.

@Cold Kitten

I feel like you're going in two directions at same time with me. It's like you said you don't like my playstyle, but didn't specify what exactly and then walked back and went like "well, I'm usually wrong anyway haha".

So, I'm just like.. what was I supposed to understand out of this ?

Yeah pretty much this. I get he's not being particularly helpful, but considering we've still got 24+ hours before EOD, I don't know if jumping on an arbitrary vote is the smartest plan of action. Why would Charu put a target on his back right away if he was wolf?
That being said, that doesn't make me particularly sus of tn or Vendetta because of it. Well maybe Vendetta a little more so since his vote was the first...
Day 0 is almost definitely a crapshoot anyway. That doesn't mean we shouldn't take it seriously, but also... some people haven't even shown up yet.

There is literally no digital inventory at all

you know how you go into Joanns fabric and they have the little slip of paper that you scan? imagine manually entering all of that information, INCLUDING THE DATE AND YOUR NAME. It seriously takes so long to cut fabric it's ridiculous but this is like the cheapest damn company I've ever heard of.

What about what Charu is doing makes him a low hanging fruit to you? Is it just because he's squawking and drawing pictures, or is there something you're seeing that we aren't?

Honest out of game question here: Are the owners and/or operators Amish, or simply afraid of technology?

At least Waffle House has a good reason for keeping most of their reciepts written; so that if/when power goes out, they can still serve most of their menu and nothing changes for the staff.

Due to my lack of experience with all of you, I can only really interpret his "post restriction" as harmful to town. In the absense of a strong scumread/wolfread/guilty/whatever its called here, I feel that my vote is currently best used to remove those that are detrimental to town.

This only includes games I played on mafiascum and mafia451. Maybe at some point I will track down all my other games and include them as well.

You don't need to survey people, necessarily. What you do is cause some controversy, typically with your early votes. There's always going to be someone that refuses to take the first day seriously. And that's on them.
Reading people you've never played with before is pretty much always going to be a crapshoot.



Then you're going to hate me, too.



Can't go insane if I'm already insane.



It means he's dedicated to an unhelpful self-imposed post restriction.

Is there any sort of tell? Or is it just you gotta narrow it down to world building and he just kinda has to be in the correct world?
