for me personally, I find preoccupation with the setup/mechanics scummy since it has historically been used by wolves to give them something to "talk about" that's not actually solving the game.

your assessment is pretty accurate. First lynch is usually a miss, but scumhunting on D0 is still valuable because it sets interactions into motion

I think it depends on different stuff though, in more closed setups I think discussing mechanics is more beneficial to have common ground on (eg. "Who should the vigi shoot?" or handling seer cover, etc)... of course this game I dont think it's super duper useful at least not yet. Might be needed next phase though

The unfortunate part about this is the wolves have a sense of what we may have based on there role. I love fake claiming, but it's not really the greatest in this set up.

I'm guessing that people treat day 0/1's now as a crapshoot to lynch almost anyone and then analyze the card flip and review how people interacted with that person?

I'm used to games where the the most productive early game discussion dealt with the role mechanics and what optimal strats were surrounding them, but maybe this format has been played to death so much with the current group that it's not necessary anymore?

What I currently see are a lot of people analyzing current behavior as compared to previous games and established meta of fellow players. I obviously can't use an analysis of how far anyone has strayed from that past meta, so I'm going to go off people who are seizing easy opportunities to call out strange behavior for now.

With that mind, Sunfan calling me out multiple times was weird, but indheart and xiz were the first ones to call him out on that, after his 4th of 5th post doing so. They both posted pretty safe/neutral takes on it initially though, which doesn't really accomplish much in my mind other than just bringing attention to the fact that they're suspicious of Sunfan. That created an opening for Gradiant to submit a counter-opinion, and then there's some back and forth that doesn't accomplish much until it shifts into another subject.

In my mind one of those 3 are likely a wolf then, it just seems like an opportunity for someone to gain townie points without putting themselves at risk. I'll be curious to see how they react here and probably base my vote off of what I see from that.

for this game we don't have confirmed roles in the setup, so telling which roles to do what is a bit of a crapshoot. it makes it harder to develop a globally optimal strat besides "use bad stuff on this player" so it's not really worth the time

also i don't think i'm scumreading sunfan? he wasn't "calling you out" any more than just identifying you by name in a non-alignment-indicative way, and i had thoughts about why he'd name you specifically that he then validated.

XIZ THAT LOOKS SO COOL

How likely is it that blind would mention the detective thing on his own? How likely is it that he would put actual weight on something like that for a vote?

It was after a turbo where you and Sunfan where the wolves you talked about it in post game or the game after about how you aren't afraid of Sunfan anymore.

You're consistent with that and I would've been more wary had you said you still were afraid because the only reason you would say that was to fake paranoia to appear town.
