Would anyone happen to have any Day 1 advice? I'm rather new to the game and the games I've played have mostly consisted of newer players where the general consensus is to just skip Day 1. I disagree with this and want to learn more about what can be done. | ||

I do not like day 1, that's why I like to /replace  As the movers and shakers of the game of mafia know, a successful early position is a useful one. A useful position is a popular one. Political support allows you to turn the heat on your suspects, put the pressure on them, see the factions form as the red seas split between your crew and their crew. You want to inspire, argue, bargain or bully everyone out of neutrality and into your way of seeing things, no matter how shallow or devoid of content it actually is, because generating new content alone is a pro-town hallmark in this fragile beginning. Be advised that the popularity of your stance will entirely depend on the makeup of the players involved. Now, once proper positions are established, then consolidated to one person's vision in the form of a bandwagon leaning dangerously to lynch, the chips start falling into place. Source | ||

I'm rather new to the game and the games I've played have mostly consisted of newer players where the general consensus is to just skip Day 1. I disagree with this and want to learn more about what can be done.  To me, in some ways, making reads in mafia feels sort of like a pyramid. At the beginning, you have basically no information to work with, so your reads are terrible. As the game progresses, you have more and more information to work with, and as a result you reads become far more accurate. Basically, while at the end of the game, you might have cases that could fill a bookshelf (I don't recommend doing this), but at the start of the game all you might have is a read on someone based on which smiley they used at the end of their sentence  The point is that yes, reads at the start of the game may not be very good. Maybe I'm scumreading someone based on their smiley choice (which granted is almost certainly pointless). But the important thing is that making the read is at least a read, rather than just joking about the weather. Then someone makes a read on me based on the read that I made. Sure, my read was basically a shot in the dark, but their read isn't based on a smiley, it's based on my read. So it's a bit more substantial. Then you can make a read on them based on that, etc. Even though you start out with nothing to work with, you get deeper and deeper reads. As there starts to be more thread direction and suspicion starts being pushed onto different people, you can start to get a much better idea of who is actually mafia. This doesn't apply as much to players who use "tone reads", looking at specific phrasing and emotion more to make reads. Tone reads can be significantly more effective early on, since tone still exists even in posts that are unrelated to the game (even if a bit more unreliable, depending). | ||
