At least on my end, I’m more used to playing games where early D1 is like fluff/non-serious content lol so I haven’t been ready yet to have actual thoughts in the game haha
But I’ll try to read up on everything that’s been said so far after I have breakfast
That’s somewhat fair (though it’s never been too appealing to me); but I’d say that we’re already out of early d1 given it’s been a few hours
Ummm, what if Hippo turns out to be a wolf though? Blindly trusting anyone is dangerous, even if they’re town. Doubly or even triply so if they’re a wolf.
How?
The rest of the post that this comes from I find somewhat wolfy but this part I’m finding somewhat villagery.
I love this opener. Willing to give it the slimmest of townleans for how relaxed it feels too.
Especially for a newcomer.
Slightly wolfy post I feel. Especially the latter sentence. Zone is looking a bit better too so willing to move him to null.
Soweli I’m leaning towards being a villager at the moment too. Slightly.
Going to call it a night yoo now so good night everyone. 
I’m back, how do you quote stuff actually? I can only see the Reply button
Finding this a little performative and the last line kinda feels overexplainy
Mmm a bit catastrophizing. So if you rand wolf, then it would be an expected win?
I like this entrance
I’m not really seeing this btw (ok i have one (1) guess), can you explain?
(like your other observations but not particularly compelled by them with the context of meta)
good morrow town
i rolled wolf but i didnt join the wolfchat so good luck catching two lones wolves. one lone wolf. fuck
good morning pandora (I just woke up) (I was trying to sleep & then got surprise attacked by a thought. unfortunately it was an EVIL thought (not like mafia related) so I shan’t describe it)
i believe this btw; but it’s no fun to just vote you off that so i’ll have to style on you later but ty for the heads up
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
idk maybe i’m just annoyed by the quote being wrong. it messes with the rhythm.
i’m going to smoke a bowl and then read chat. 50/50 chance it puts me t sleep insyead
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.
i’m pandora :) I have a bad brain and I think of myself as a wildcard type player. late starter.
