I’m old

She also seems to equate "old" with "maturity" and "lack of toxicity", which shows she has much to learn :P

Is it a continuously torrent pace? Are there breaks in the action? Do players come and go at their leisure, or do they hover over the chat game all day? Hell, how long is a typical day phase in that style?

the best of them are similar-ish to forum mafia except people aren’t reading the actual actions of other players, lots of PR’s and very little reads that aren’t based off NK’s and other deaths/failed tunnels/cop investigations. it’s live chat but also 24/24 where people are talking (not usually about the actual game though) and eventually some reads do occur out of live chatting and they’re voted on until they claim/fake claim, clusterfucks. most people make themselves available to talk for a bit more than once a day, there are breaks in actions. and at the end of the game all the active players are dead and it’s basically a coin toss of who wins because the alive players haven’t played the game closely at all, since they’re alive

I think a decent portion of my perspective is derived from recent surfing around MU as I compiled statistics and saw Creature with a million posts in X or Y games. Have you played with him often

JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Sat Jun 25, 2022 9:09 pm I dunno who on the roster here has been following the champs tournament, but we have a nice opportunity here to try to right the wrongs of the towns who have struggled there in the very same setup (15 people, 12 vs. 3 mountainous). This format is, from the word ~Go~, a pro-mafia setup. That's the nature of mountainous, and it means we will have to rise to the challenge. Beyond just the generic "play hard, k" mindset that ought to prevail in any game, I think we need to be especially mindful in this game of the core responsibilities that, in my experience, drive towns toward positive results.

[1] Clear oneself
[2] Teamwork
[3] Be right more than you're wrong

Obviously [3] is easier said than done, but we will do our best. The first two points are more directly within our individual control. Given this arrangement, if we can correctly identify seven civilians then we will win the game. So let's make that happen.

Creature definitely posts more as town than scum and had a defeatist persona as scum where he hardly posted. However he has improved a lot during these last years tbh.

Iirc I spearheaded a Creature misyeet in our first game and everyone chastised me on how it was obvious Creature town meta lmao

You didn't exactly jump for joy though. I said I suspected you, you were like "ha ha ha, I knew it!" and then proceeded to steadfastly ignore me from then until now. I didn't get the impression you were trying to fish reactions out of me or that you felt particularly gleeful. I'd expect a troll who really wanted me to attack them to at least tease or bait me once or twice, but you've mostly ignored me, even in the face of constant provocation (ie. me talking about you a bunch).
