[quote name="natsinabucket" date="2023-05-23 11:58:07" ] Alright, I won't make a whole long post on Grow, but I did the promised ISO and it didn't really change my opinion as much as I thought it might? I still like the train of thought vibe, and I think that Grow's explanation to Scorisyn on the one questionable post was a good one. I find the path of logic believable considering Grow doesn't have a lucky number. I just have a couple of questions for you @Grow and if you answered these elsewhere already I'm very sorry haha. This is your first post- [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/forga/3240020/2#post_54204398]1[/url]. I think a fairly standard intro to start- neutral on D1 question and almost immediately wondered about vanilla townies/how many mafia there are/neutral parties. Could you potentially explain what prompted this line of thinking from the D1 question? Were you just trying to crack the setup of the game open early, or were you starting to theorize, or something? Tied to post [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/forga/3240020/6#post_54210119]5[/url]: [quote name="Grow" date="2023-05-19 19:22:36" ] Initially I thought that the amulet investigation thing was just for the lore and flavor. But now it sounds like the objects hidden on the other side of each door are indeed capable of granting special effects, it does make sense now that you can find clues about someone's alignment from which objects they're advocating for. [/quote] I guess my question here would be, just out of curiosity, why did you spend many of your first few posts on artifact investigation if you thought it was just flavor divorced from gameplay? (The whole of D1 discussion was largely centered around artifacts, so this isn't a Big Question and I don't think it leans you either way, I just want to get acquainted with your thought process here) Final question, do you still feel like item investigation is a net neutral in terms of what it says about town/maf alignment, or does the knowledge that it's probably related to wincons mean you're more willing to factor it into your reads? I don't think I would vote Grow today. Maybe not as strong town lean as I thought last night, but definitely a solid neutral, and not many things making me think scum. Ok. ISO part over. I don't know where this puts us in terms of voting- Scorisyn kinda said exactly what I was thinking about HalfMoons here- [quote name="Scorisyn" date="2023-05-23 10:18:28" ] [b]halfmoons[/b] … okay i get it, i understand irl difficulties, but simply hopping on to explain one single theory on why they picked a certain object makes me think that they haven’t been catching up with the discussion thread, at all. since the beginning of d2 we’ve been focusing more on reads, not objects, so i feel that they haven’t been looking at discussion. i pinged them asking for their opinions (and just some reads would be enough, not the kind of readlist i did lol), they didn’t respond. nat also pinged them and this feels like selective silence to me. and, i would’ve liked to hear the rest of their theories! anything that would help. [/quote] [/quote] Hello, I just woke up -- and I understand if you guys wanna elim me -- I know I'm likely to live the night because [b]maf would love keep me as a scapegoat[/b] I think the information revealed from my elim will be vital -- who had been pushing me & on the wagon, and there's gotta be at least one maf in them. I don't think maf would hard push me right off the bat, so maybe not Scor, but again I do not know her playstyle. I'm more interested at the people soft pushing me/staying slightly neutral but then willing to vote me Since coming from TOS I've always been used to a fixed role list with a certain number of mafia and neutral roles, and I find this helps me to figure out what I should be looking for. The uncertainly in these forum mafia games makes me rather uncomfortable & I'd like to figure out how many town vs mafia are there so it's easier to know if we need to take risks or we could play it safe. I made a lot of posts (even about the artifacts) since!! I really wanted to figure out how everything works for myself. I think it also has to do with my boring rolecard lol -- Being used to certainty, the uncertainty settles me. And I have quite a lot time currently so I made a lot of posts to theorize what was going on, because I think that if we get it right we're set to solve everything quickly. Okay, I made the second post since I the description of the game was that roles are kept hidden but will be revealed throughout the game, I thought they'll just leave flavor text that could explain what setups/roles there are in the game. But I'm not sure about that myself, since others were very interested in the items so maybe I was wrong and there's something more to it, like buffs/debuffs And I said that because I felt like it's just d1, and we basically know nothing about the items and for me it's still a mafia game & we'd need deduction, not a which-item-looks-spooky-game. So initially my opinion was talking about items doesn't reveal much. Well, and then since there's the lucky numbers I think my opinion has indeed changed, and what players vote do indeed reveal something -- but for now I'm not sure how how much it factors in -- a little or a lot? There's of course the amulet and Maf wouod prevent us from taking it, but that's no new knowledge. I think I'll need more information before reaching a conclusion And also talking about quiet players I don't think it's Halfmoons cuz...I think I've seen Moons in other forum games too and I think the activity makes sense? Idk There's not a lot to work with other than my gut. My gut also tells me it's not hotpants but ehh
