In the very near future we should have a 40+ game.

Why do you think you need to find the PRs...?KoalaAttack wrote: ↑Fri Mar 17, 2023 8:27 pmSo how do I go about figuring them out in the Closed Setup game when I don't have a Mafia chat with confirmed-teammates available to me?
It was afternoon in the UK.
A game where you can only people aged over 40 can play?
Yes, where I hopefully won't have to decipher meme-speak and any of the stuff the youngsters are tiktoking about today.
Well knowing how many Mafias and what PRs they are seems obviously helpful to winning the game so we can hunt them down better.Jamiet99uk wrote: ↑Fri Mar 17, 2023 9:13 pmWhy do you think you need to find the PRs...?KoalaAttack wrote: ↑Fri Mar 17, 2023 8:27 pmSo how do I go about figuring them out in the Closed Setup game when I don't have a Mafia chat with confirmed-teammates available to me?
Thanks.Hamilton Brian wrote: ↑Fri Mar 17, 2023 9:22 pmKoala, you're doing ok. I think there's a lot of overthinking happening and maybe too many people crowding you with "do this, don't do this."
Keep it simple.
And don't worry about PRs. We've got no information anyway.
oftentimes i just say things and not think about itKoalaAttack wrote: ↑Fri Mar 17, 2023 8:30 pmAre you implying I shouldn't have believed you? But our discussion was in a Mafia chat, where presumably you have no reason to lie to me at the time. I think it was just banter at the time, but you know what they say about every joke has a pinch of truth in it... But now you are suggesting this was what, an intentional fake-out for a future game's sake? Nah, I don't buy it.Bonatogether wrote: ↑Fri Mar 17, 2023 7:59 pmKoalaAttack wrote: ↑Thu Mar 16, 2023 5:13 am3) You are 100% correct. I do believe that I explicitly and clearly stated that the rationale for the gimmick was to avoid folks using my meta from past games – because Bona has warned me I'm going to get D1 voted for my Mafia deeds in our Mafia chat last game. And I stated this before this game stated, committing to it regardless of my alignment in advance. Now I am simply following through as promised, which as rdrivera correctly called it is ironically my true meta.

Interesting… So – your strongest 2 Town-reads were ghug & myself, who were in the midst of arguing galore with each other.
You say you won’t get killed.
You say I won’t get killed.
You say … nothing about ghug getting killed?
How come?

Do you have meta backing this up? What's your experience in games to make you say this?

you can still parse what i'm saying on it's own meritsKoalaAttack wrote: ↑Fri Mar 17, 2023 8:57 pmFair enough. And if that's the case, and I figure out this was the case I will adjust my approach – after this game when the alignment of all the folks giving me advice has been revealed.Bonatogether wrote: ↑Fri Mar 17, 2023 8:51 pmbut it's not effectiveKoalaAttack wrote: ↑Fri Mar 17, 2023 8:00 pm
It was not intended to. My whole argument with ghug was about defending my approach to playing the game as legitimate and IMHO effective, not promoting my Towniness (which is true but unprovable to you).
man i know the experience of being newer and getting an idea and being told its shit but being convinced, and the answer is my idea sucked, and so does yours
This is why I already promised the ghost of ghug to give ghug the option to play the next way "the ghug way" if we lose.
But I'm not particularly receptive to folks of unknown-alignment telling me how to play mid-game. You all have seen my post in the Sign Up thread. Could have told me it was a terrible idea back then... but did anyone tell me that back then? Nope. So now you get the KirbyKoala for this game, and I'll re-evaluate after the game ends.
i don't understand the questionKoalaAttack wrote: ↑Fri Mar 17, 2023 9:01 pmvs
How is the second part not joking around useless noise against your own advice? And how is your joking around noise better than my impersonation silly-ness?
run a youth game at the same time (on discord so i can post memes)

So I am getting something out of it. Currently, on my internal scale of 10 being Towniest and 1 being Mafiaest, you are a 4. If it goes much lower, I will summarize my case for others and cast a vote. It hasn't reached that threshold yet. And if it goes higher, I will move onto the inquisiton of the next subject in my mind.
And yep, you are correct that I never played with you as Town. Oh well, I use the tools & data I have.
