No.
The post that I'm most interested in so far is yours; why would you ask what the most significant thing to happen in thread was? Were you expecting a lot of useful answers?
The post that I think will have the biggest impact down the road are 2's and GJJJ's; both of their bodies of work look town and will solidify quickly if they're able to keep pace.
OK folks that enough for today see you at EoD
needless to say, i am not dazzled.

Hi! This is the other half of 2 Hearts.
Unlike Owner, I haven't played with many people here before.
The only player I have played with before is Ratchet. I have now realized that Ratchet is playing. Ratchet is a legendary hero who carried our scum team to a glorious comeback victory in the season 2 finals. Ratchet rules.
I briefly hosted a game with Inawordyes once. Hey buddy.
hey pivot
you haven't really played with me very much
but we've been in at least one and possibly three? games together where I subbed in, did very little, and died
There are many things I can recommend like posting everything you have to say at once in a single post, quoting the smallest part possible of the post you're replying to, etc. But the basic thing is always asking yourself "is posting this going to be useful for my alignment?" and "what can I do to make this post easier to read?". It works for me since people pay more attention to what I post that way. And since less time and effort is spent in my posts, that makes people pay more attention to what others post too, which is great regardless of the alignment I play.
guess who didn't get the memo we were starting??
I'll be here properly in an hour or so, dunno where other head is atm but she said she was busy today
Oh you're Cuth! yes that's true. Yeah at least one game and I've observed at least another I think. I think you joined the list of this game a little later, so I didn't really make note of you being in. Other than that I think I know just Middle a bit (apart from Owner of course).
Right, it's very early days yet. Would it be suspicious to you if Prog's vote was still on you at the end of the day?
---
It's a quick way to see who's engaged enough to give an intelligent answer that shows engagement with the game. Your response was good, hamster's very poor.
Looking back on them, I'm inclined to agree, insofar as 2's open admittance of their play seemed pretty earnest to me, and GJJJ led with an opening attack. What do you think of Progenital's vote on hamster?
i wouldn't say it's "suspicious" abstractly
but at this point in the game it is of no consequence
that is all
later my feelings may change
they'll probably change their vote
and if not we'll see
I have to up the ante on Tom's answer here, as I'm feeling pretty comfortable with our vote. Not so much for the "don't take us seriously" (which seems very much in line with what little I know about Soobs and Cuth), but more for the sheer volume of posts they have made without producing anything of value: apparently no reads despite engaging with 2 Hears and GJJ, and a barely there and completely unsupported Town read on us. Really it seems like a lot of their posts have been trying to explain the joke they made instead of, you know, trying to find scum.I am currently trying to decide whether Hamster's recommendation that his hydra not be taken seriously is actually suspicious, or if Progenitals is more suspicious for pouncing on a pretty easy opportunity. Let's explore.
hey guys. let your jokes speak for themselves. i get jokes.
the need to tell us that you shouldnt be taken seriously is NAGL
##Vote fat lazy hamster
Hamster: you asserted your parody of my language was a joke. You concluded with "it will definitely help me solve the game", which kind of implies there is some intent in your post to make light of my own -- as though I wasn't pursuing a productive course of dialogue with 2 Hearts. That would expend beyond the boundaries of a joke and into the realm of accusation. What say you?
Progenitals: on a scale of 1-10, please rate your own level of investment in that accusation which you described as NAGL.
I felt #40 was pretty bad too: "I was totally joking guys lets not read into this but also I was kind of serious". It's just trying to throw stuff at the wall and see if it sticks.

1. Eh. Probably not. Too easy to fake one way or another, and I suspect it'll either become 'everyone does it' or 'no one does it' by EoD.
2. It feels like any answer I'll give is 'what's most interesting' rather than 'what's most significant'. The answer to that being the conversation re: forced.
Also, hello! I'm Chaoticreactions, I go by Chao for short.
Oh, other head already posted. For the record, I'm not the one who posted 109 above.
Why? What information have you gleaned from the exchange?

goddammit chao
At this point, nothing particularly indicative, just getting a sense of what kind of players people are. Example: GoldenJimmy asking for whys and Fat Lazy Hamster joking/claiming joking (probably joking).
I'm not familiar with basically anyone here but my own head, essentially.
So if you gained nothing from the exchange (which is in itself surprising), why was it the most interesting thing that's happened so far?

So yeah I, like my other head, was under the impression we weren't starting for another 4 hours. Please excuse my general flailing.
Anyway. I'm Stanari. I have no particular intention of signing, because I enjoy screwing with people's heads. Chao might. Or might not. Probably not.
I have a couple of hydra-related questions for y'all, actually. Well. More than a couple.
1) How familiar are you with your hydra partner?
2) Do you consider yourselves more similar or different in how you play?
3) Will the nature of this game change your approach to it?
And now I'm off to catch up, properly.
Not totally sure why, but I like GoldenJimmyJay's responses in the little exchange with Fat Lazy Hamster, as well as the line of questioning he conducted wrt 2 Hearts. Also in agreement with most of the people reading 2 Heart's response favorably; didn't seem self-conscious at all, which I take for a goodie sign.
Kinda meh about most others so far. Agree with Progenitals (or half of Progenitals?) that Fat Lazy Hamster has posted a lot without saying much of anything, but not confident enough to give that much of an alignment read either way beyond the mildest of suspicion.

on that note, i hope it goes back to the scheduled start time. 5pm is much better for me than 5 am local time for eod.
1 eco and i have played 2 games together. i was mafia in both.
2 different.
3 i was already in a game in this series as a solo replacement. i exploited some of the nature of a cross community event to defeat the town, and i do not intend to let that happen here.
but i do think that i will change a little bit based on being part of a hydra, and im hoping i can change eco too. more on that story as it develops.
i would also like to hear more answers to these questions.

I love answering questions.
1) Very. We're brothers.
2) Different in what we like doing, but probably not too divergent in terms of actual actions. I like analyzing voting records and patterns, while his tendencies are much more of a psychological bent. But I think our methods tend to be similar.
3) Probably not? The fact that I have no idea how anyone here plays and the fact that this is a much smaller game than I'm used to might result in more of a change. Don't really care much one way or another about the whole hydra thing.
1. Very
2. Similar
3. Compared to a non-hydra game of course?

This game is giving me a headache and it's not even 10 hours in
Interpret as you wish.
There are two types on our site. We call our small games Lite and those have 17 players and a strictly defined setup, so it's not too different from what we have here (1 or 2 fewer days to parity, I guess). Our larger games have no limit; those average about 25-30, though our most recent had 40. Lately I've been playing the large ones only.how large of games do you normally play inI love answering questions.

Snip your quotes please.
I don't think Chao's being pedantic, and I don't think that's a nontrivial distinction. Getting a read on what kind of player someone is is important.
I'm not disputing that, I just want my questions answered: what exactly was gained, and why was it more interesting than any other exchange?

What were you hoping to get out of this question?
Because it was to me. There was more character to it than, say, 'hey here's this one vote' and basically everyone going 'okay'.
i think marsupials is town
i do too actually.
lets talk about it.

We've played in quite a few games together over the past year and a half.
We probably have more in common than we have differences. We're not identical twins though.
I have no idea. I've never played in a hydra game, so I'm going to figure that out as I go.
Question for you: what do you hope to gain from answers you receive to these questions?
Why do you think it's most useful for your alignment to post solely about policing other people's playstyles and ships?There are many things I can recommend like posting everything you have to say at once in a single post, quoting the smallest part possible of the post you're replying to, etc. But the basic thing is always asking yourself "is posting this going to be useful for my alignment?" and "what can I do to make this post easier to read?".

I at least appreciate that his first post there was a clean mirror of my own view of the game to that point. Granted it seems a few people have all been making the same basic comment in various different ways:
"I have positive opinions of GJJ and 2 Hearts after their early exchange."

what does it say to you
I'm Mitsuki by the way. So far I've been the only one who has posted, and it will probably remain that way. I'll ask Kaoz to use a different font color or something similar if he posts so that it's easier to tell who posted what.
I find 2 Hearts scummy. There's a lot of spam from Owner and most of it is neutral but she's posted several posts from which I can see no clear line of reasoning behind. It looks more like she's saying what she's saying to look active and contributing than to actually scumhunt.
Here is the post which bothers me the most. This question is useless because it's basically asking someone to state the reasons why they should be townread when there were just a few posts around. It gives off the feeling that the post was just made to sound clever.
##Vote 2 Hearts
I find Hamster's assertiveness here with regards to being voted townie. Scum may consider being unvoted later on but I don't see them saying so in the thread just as it's something normal. It'd be more like they'd try to cover for such behavior acting like everything is normal, because when you're pretending you have a bias to hide your true thoughts even though they may not be telling. The tone also seems townie on gut.
I don't. It was a joke, a request, and an answer to a question.
Not much other than that the value of the observation/read progressively diminishes the more it is repeated.what do you think of multiple people having a similar reactionI at least appreciate that his first post there was a clean mirror of my own view of the game to that point.

show up, you two
Maka is reading then when he's home from work we're gonna discuss stuff before real content because I'm lazy and haven't played mafia in over a year
First off: Mitsuki, it's Makablade, not Makalife. How dare you come into Maka's house and get our name wrong
1. Somewhat. I don't think I've ever played an actual mafia game with him before but I know how he thinks sort of.
2. I'm pretty sure we're different. He's cold and calculating and likes to be in control. I just go with the flow
3. Yeah, it gives me an excuse to be lazy. I've been a hydra once before but my partner was never online when I was so we barely talked. All he did was almost get us lynched D1
in the meantime, what's your favorite flavor of ice cream
