A lot more thought goes into this early phase than I would've thought from a glance, wow. I'm satisfied with this reasoning and might try and think up of some stuff for the next game I play, thank you scattered.Some players are more excited to play when they are scum and are eager to start the game fast and comment something. This can be even more telling if you spot how one player is never quick to post on the beginning of a game and does so only now or in games where that player was scum. However, I mainly use it as a tool to narrow down the big pool of options to lynch on day one. If we can narrow down our searches it is more likely to hit scum, or to clear a townie. The reason being that when you face 5 options instead of 15 you are more focused and can invest your thoughts. People can be focused together on the targets instead of spreading around and lose focus, which often results in sheeping after one talkative player. So I suggest we put each set of 5 players to the test and if all are not found scummy- move on to the next. This is just a method I think is good to start D1 instaed of the usual RVS-find a lowsy case and go from there-approach that has been used so far.
Completely fair. I still consider myself to be new because I had a lot of questions during My Bastard Village, and I still don't have the best understanding of the game after playing through that, seeing as it was my first full game of Mafia I'd played. I just wanted to clear up any possible misconceptions beforehand by saying I was new, alongside the fact that I'm playing with some people for the first time this game and that'd be important to mention....by the way, while I am surprised that Violet is considered a newbie here (since I had played with her before),
I also have a habit of selling myself short, so just saying "I'm new and don't know how to do things" is really just a habit at this point.
Thank you, I'm glad I'm getting my point across. Speaking of which, jplap has posted twice, both an hour ago and no effort was made to clear up any of the suspicion I have against him. @Professor_jplap I brought my thoughts up for a reason, do you want to defend yourself or not?I like this post, it feels like a genuine attempt to analyze jplap and scattered and solve the game. I see your point.
