It’s chill and natural to me. I think you mentioned it sounded forced, but I also don’t see how it’s forced

Real, I feel asleep too
Had a good thought though but ultimately not mafia related either

ok that’s ~the exact opposite track I was on; though it shakes out to different levels i think.
The reasoning that I was thinking was that it overprojects confidence into the thread, which is typically more of a town trait since scum is more concerned about the inevitable drop-off.
At the risk of getting into my own sense of aesthetics in order to overdissect an early post (which typically doesn’t go well), I do think the (incorrect, I might add) princess bride quote is just aura without anything to back it up, in a sense? The more obvious side of this criticism is that the post has nothing to do with the mafia game, which strikes me as. wrong. Mafia is about spinning this web, so to speak, as either alignment, so to start with somebody completely detached it’s, again, wrong. As for why this post in particular caught my ire… I mean i do get the hype and so the contrast with expectations plays into it? As I get more into this i struggle to find it natural though. Why would it be natural to go into a mafia game, and then post an unrelated line from a movie?
If you want to buff the accusation of it being forced, which is steelmanning any sort of point I might’ve had, T3 comes in and sees openers from everybody else that are relatively towny, wants to match the energy but is more concerned about not being able to match the energy later & goes for a non-value post. This narrative is slightly helped by his quick departure afterwards
tl;dr it’s fluff in the purest sense.
Now haflway through explaining it out like this, it does seem to be a playstyle difference.
sorry for long-posting i’ll try to restrain myself

i’m in the right combination of tired and working on essays to the point i made above longpost but i also want to re-analyze it as a highly individual opener in contrast to everybody else’s, which then. you know the theory. informed minority & such. intensely bad idea though. (please note I am NOT making an argument. do not respond to this post as such.)
i’m going to try to sleep again though.

Im STILL not sleeping & other people probably know me better, but hi I’m soweli (a.k.a. sheep to frog) I post lile gestures at my posts this, give or take. I’ve played a lot of mafia but im new to fol relatively speaking. I will probably bug you about justification for your reads so it’d be nice if you can spare me the effort. I am polarized but not on tone & some related things.

To me, it’s natural in the sense that I think it’s more like easing himself into the thread and not necessarily feeling any pressure whatsoever to immediately contribute. If anything, I would say Zone’s first post sounds more forced. That said, I do agree that his quick departure afterwards is something to be noted

Does 2 votes on Leafia mean a legitimate wagon has formed or are we still in random early D1 territory despite being 8 hours in
I think somewhere in between those two.
I’m going to sleep on divergent’s latest post bc it doesnt feel right.
Hi, I’m Divergent. You can call me Dive for short. Most of my time playing Mafia was in 2017-2018. I then played very little in 2019/2020 then went a few years not playing it until I tried again last year. Went on another break and I’m now back again since Sept.
I basically consider myself as having started over since the earlier years that I played. I’ve changed a lot since that time period and so, it also reflects in the way I’ve been playing recently.
I actually don’t know my wolfrange. I’ve played like maybe 10 games this year? And every single time I randed town. The single time I randed wolf was in a lost wolf game and that’s an entirely different game to play

I treat Hippo the same way Daeron treats Neon in the Cheesening: If he’s Mafia, then that sucks, but I’ll still risk the rand. I favor him more than anyone else in this player list, based on the achievements I remember from his latest game. (I.e., follow Jarek and see where that goes.)
NGL: Yes. This series literally started because overall townplay was not faring well on this site. Sure, we have a Town victory in the latest game, but that was with power roles. This is the fourth installment of this series, meaning that -as I have stated in P#19- Town had lost thrice in a row.
I don’t like defending people for no reason, but uh… I think T3 was trying to lighten up the mood? There is no need for anyone to be cheerful and positive.
I don’t have much to say on his activity though. We play whenever we want to. He might have become busy, or maybe he just popped in to check up on the game on a whim.
Aye. Despite slowly getting more serious talks, I believe we are still in RVS and Leafia happened to catch two votes.
Heya Dive. Nice to meet ya.
May I ask why you would think that?
