No, in fact meta reads come later in D1.
D1 is usually called the "joke phase" but a lot can be completed d1. personally i suck at D1 but am trying to improve on it.

You shouldnt try to meta read people and the fact that people are talking about it in a newbie game is really bad.

Yeah I take the blame.
Should of been more clear on what i meant lol.

What do you suggest?

I Know your not talking to me, but i suggest we start organizing the town/Find a direction to go into for lynch and D2 (and n1 actions i guess). A course I am not sure how to do it, since half of the players have not posted and it is only a hour into the game.

Discussing blue roles in depth too early is dangerous for the town. That information is really valuable for mafia, ESPECIALLY because their setup is the same for each of the 4 possibilities.


That is why i put in ()"s
I agree that information is also important to mafia, eh best to ignore it for right now.
I mean:
Cop: doesn't need direction in all honesty
Doc: telling mafia who we are healing is a dumb idea
Vig: Eh I seen some games where the vig is directed. But, it could be risky.
Vet: Vet is passive

So yeah now that I think about it, nothing can be really gain from directing anything except from maybe a vig?

Or you post something dumb trying to get discussion going and I shut it down because it is dumb...

Doesn't that make you scum since you want to control the thread and not allow the discussion to develop?
Or is that a Oneguy try hard thing?

Yup. Trfel already caught me remember?

But seriously you are trying to make discussion about things that will not move the thread forward in a helpful way at all. Like what you have brought up only helps scum not town.

True, I think most of it is because i put something like "(n1 actions)" and everyone focuses on that. I try to be more helpful.
But any ways Mexican Alien is prob. town for trying to figure out what we should do. Even when he does not know what to do, he still trys to be helpful.

Very good reasons.

Yeah i was revising the logic on it after Deathfy posted about it.
Also I am always Sus. on my D1's, Both as Blue and Vt due to my reactive, blah blah blah trolling playstyle
Yet to roll mafia sadly, thought this would be the one =(.

I also will be peacing out.
Mexican Alien i have a town lean on.
Onegu/Deathfy I am not sure about, and after reading the thread in the morning will prob. get a idea on them.
Everyone else has faded from my mind.

Yo USP is the bomb. Got me my motherboard a day early :D

I've read the TR on me. I think it is the worse possible town read on me period.
Let me explain.

Shapelogseems to strike me as overexcited or nervous. I also do not believe he is reading the game carefully enough and he just spouts whatever comes into his head. At first his read of "town lean on MexicanAlien" seems rather farfetched

He/she calls my town lean on Mexican Alien farfetch. I town lean that came from:

We need information.

There is no way that a mafia make the first post and then makes the second. He could of easily pushed a mafia agenda right here. Hell he could of taken Thread control here forcing townies to listen to a strategy that really doesn't have any merit to it (too early in the game IMO).
Also the "we need infomation" also seems townie to me (though i will admit it can defiantly be NAI).
On January 27 2016 07:31 _MexicanAlien wrote:
no blue talk it is useless (to townies)

Tell me what is the purpose of saying this as mafia? Like at all why would he want the blue talk to end? Sure, maybe he wanted cred for it. But this is a very pro-townie statement, In fact, mafia benefits NONE from it.
On January 27 2016 07:34 _MexicanAlien wrote:

This shows he is reading the thread and is trying to actively solve the game. Patterns are usally the first thing the brain notices when Analyzing things.

So My town read on Mexican is good. The fact he is solving the game should be a clear indication.
But here is why you don't town read him:
On January 27 2016 07:43 _MexicanAlien wrote:
Why does shapelog call his own play dumb? Shouldn't he be trying to play well? "Improve D1"?

Ok, First off I could see where you come from. Maybe (Just maybe) you think he is trying to draw attention to me, and possibly forcing a mislynch on me.
Ok lets ponder this:
Sure, i'll admit that I am prob. the best mislynch target for mafia at this point. I mean god, look at my posts. A lot of things that can be used for a case. And sure, while I did tried to help town, i ended up failing epicly. Also who would trust me? honestly who?
But the thing is, the above post from him doesn't push me. Sure, it could be taken as that. But that is more of a playstyle question then "I think this guy could be scum b/c of X" statement.
And lets also ponder the fact you can be mafia.
You come into the thread "lolly lolly, I am peppermint" read the posts and you get to the end. Who stands out? Prob. me and mexcian. You see that everyone is sus. of me. I can totaly see you town reading me (since you know I am town b/c your mafia) so when i get lynch (or if i get lynched) you get cred for it. You also benift if mexican gets killed because he is a strong player.
So no matter what you win either way.

Finally, lets discus your town read on me:
Initial: "hes overexcited and nervous"

This seems contradictory. Nervous people don't spout whatever comes into their head.


Many people talk too much or over explain to counter feeling nervous or anxious. It is a fairly common issue.

So you drop the overexcited part? Ok, I will admit, I do have anxintry disorder. But, I have not felt nervous or overexcited about this at all. sure, i am happy that i am playing, but i am not like OMG YES YES YES.

What also is funny is that you decide is that my town lean was weak, BUT your town read was not. I mean at least mine I could prove and it made sense. All yours is on is tone, period.

Honestlly, Right now, you have a good chance of being scum.
