Perpetuating RVS is really not the way to get a slow-starting game back on track. Shame.

Also, I want to say my flavor name. Thoughts?

If you think there's value to it. The downside is that maybe someone bad can do something with that information, but the upside is maybe it will actually start the game. And hey, maybe someone good can do something with that info. Also I don't think scum is in a hurry to proactively claim anything here, so you get town points for offering.

I think that you want to say that you want to say your flavor name more than you actually want to say your flavor name.

Because you were complaining nobody was around last night and we're both here now so I thought I'd try to make some conversation.  I will absolutely avoid asking you questions you don't want to answer in the future.

I don't mean to be difficult. Just keep in mind that if I expressed that I am unwilling to discuss a certain subject, then prodding me further in that direction is unlikely to yield results.

We can absolutely converse though. For instance, is your vote still RVS? Have you developed any reads so far?

Mostly RVS with a healthy dose of 'shraeye is always scum' mindset mixed in. No reads so far. I'm interested in what people think about shraeye's flavor name claim (honestly I just like saying that) but the lack of reaction to it is interesting too.

How about you? I feel like faust doesn't RVS so why am I scum? Where's everybody else rank on the bad guy list?

I know this one: It's because you got a PM saying that!

Also opening with the dead "shraeye is always scum" meme is boring, predictable and exactly what scum!raerae would do. And you addressed a question to me; the towny reason to ask people random questions is to get them to engage, and really I am the last person you need to draw into the game, so I can only suspect there's an ulterior motive behind that.

Where's everybody else rank on the bad guy list?
Below you. I don't think my other reads are at the level where sharing them is useful right now.

It's also exactly what town!raerae would do as evidenced by every other game I've played except the one where he was mod-confirmed town to me. So I'm just going to call that a crappy argument.  As far as addressing you, I did it because I thought you'd have something to say and we're close enough to the same time zone for once so why not take advantage of that? But let's play for a minute, what is my sneaky evil motive for asking you questions? Am I just supposed to ignore you some you don't need to be prompted to join the game? That's also silly.

Hi everyone! I've done a fair bit of thinking about Mafia in recent months but very little playing, so who knows how I'll go with this game.

My availability should generally be pretty good, except that I'll be away for about 4 days next week. I should still be able to post, just sparingly.

I know nothing about the flavour and probably won't really participate in flavour-related discussions.

Hey All!

I was where Galz was (Denver, CO) for the entirety of last week at a conference.

This is really just a check in post - I landed like 2 hours ago, and I have read up but I have not had time to really think about anything specific.

General Assumptions:

A) I agree with whoever said talking about flavor probably not super great this game. Not for their reasons, but for the reasons that Gloobs went out of the way to post this in set up:
"4. Do not take importance to the storyline as a measure of towniness. Some important characters were reserved for fake claims, and some minor characters are town."
So aside from the normal facts of it being potential misleading to do flavor stuff this early on... that kind of makes me feel like it would be the opposite of beneficial for town.

B) This was also posted in set up:
"3. Your role PM will tell you your character’s race, what plane they come from, and what kind of mana they can wield. This information is game-relevant, though not all to the same degree. Bolas-aligned players will be given fake claims containing all of this information."
I don't see a real advantage in claiming hard anything this early on... but if anything were to be the topic, it should absolutely be the MOD-confirmed RELEVANT information (plane, race, mana) and not stuff to do with the flavor.

That is just where I am at from a skim. After I finally get some damn sleep here I will be around more regularly.
