Day 1


[image loading]

The villagers walked apprehensively along the path towards the woods. A heavy fog hung over them. As they entered the thicket, the moonlight could no longer guide their path. Through the darkness, a few brave villagers forged ahead. They had clearly come of their own volition. The rest shuffled nervously behind them, clinging to the confidence of those leading the way, and fearful of being left behind.

Grackaroni was known for his persistence. Many had been coerced into joining this excursion with false promises of treasure and glory. As they ventured forward, the screams of Artanis echoed through the woods. Was something amiss!? Or was it only the lasting anguish of a decade old promise that had gone unfulfilled? As the villagers reached Artanis' body, they discovered that Grackaroni had vanished. With Grackaroni gone perhaps the danger has subsided, or perhaps the villagers need to take matters into their own hands.


Day 1 begins. The day ends on Tuesday, Dec 12 3:00am GMT (GMT+00:00), which is in

Hi everyone, hope you have been well

Excited for the 12 player game. Increases my chance of finding mafia to 27.2%, higher than my normal 25% average!

Also I should add, I could be wrong, but this seems like a heavy-EU player base in a game where the deadline is late at night for EU. So it's probably going to be important to be more organized and not rely on deadline shenanigans since people (hopefully) won't be around Unless there is some other solution to the Grackaroni deadline that people have discovered in my 3-year-plus absence.

No idea. I'm gonna use smilies because I'm smily, simple as that.

How are you doing, Alakaslam? Anyone else around?

I do find it interesting that there is a mason mechanic this game. Not sure if there is any way to realistically use that to our advantage, but I guess it probably doesn't hurt?

Hi everyone, excited to be playing a game after being away from Mafia for so long! I believe I have some familiarity with most if not all players on the list, although I might be very outdated in accessing their meta.

So far we have Alakaslam who I feel is posting within what I expected, not leaning one way or the other based on his initial posts. I like the poking about smiles being sus, but at the same time, it's phrased as a question so there is a bit of avoidance in there as well. Again, not very telling.

For Trfel, some might say I'm nit-picking, but I don't like the self-demeaning tone about his performance right out of the gate. Also, some generic advice and deadlines which sounds like trying to say something just to fit in. This could be understandable because we are mostly trying to generate some content at this point and get the discussion going, but this advice at this point so far away from the deadline doesn't do us much good at face value or as a conversation starter. Leaning suspicious from what I've seen so far.

Can I ask about your thoughts on Alakaslam? Like, what was the mentality behind posting the bolded section?

I remember him being a bit wacky, careless, and somewhat random. Always found him hard to access in terms of alignment, but mostly remember he goes into more self-preservation mode and tones it down when mafia. Not sure how much that still applies, but I found his initial posts care-free, with a bit of prodding which I kinda liked, but done in a lighthearted way which could just again be his care-free nature

I guess instead of waiting I'll let the cat out of the bag, I'm impatient.

This post seems very wishy-washy, non-committal, and pointless. The first paragraph doesn't really say anything of substance (not that it's wrong per se, just doesn't really contribute anything meaningful to the game). The second paragraph is the same way. To me, he seems to end with exactly no read (and next to no thoughts) on Alakaslam. There's even "I like the poking about smiles, but it's phrased as a question so there is avoidance as well" which seems like aggressive-but-with-a-heavy-grain-of-salt that is easy to say without actually committing to it. "Posting within what I expected" and "not leaning one way or the other based on initial posts" doesn't end up meaning much at all.

The other thing I want to note is all of the caveats and grain of salts and backtracking in sandroba's post. Not exactly sure how to phrase what I mean, but see here, in red:

He's shying away from saying something, like making a read and then backing off from it. Or giving a reason to doubt what he just said, or placing a limiter on it. For such a small post, it's riddled with it. To me, this comes across as trying to be non-committal and playing the "safe game" while making it look like you are saying things and trying to figure things out.

I guess what I meant moreso was, why did you post that section? Since you seemed to end up with no read whatsoever, I'm just curious what the motivation/mindset/purpose was?

You're off of work now, right? I admit I was pretty surprised that you were so active and excited and then suddenly vanished.
