So late P2 to early P3. Not so much substantive going on. I will echo FinalArcadia’s thoughts on Day 1s, but experience has taught me the only way out of the game starting drags is through. So the verve shown by both leetic and FA is a positive for both of them.
WRT P3, specifically the beef between leetic and Soul: I will say I’ve correctly read Soulmaster town despite low activity / limited information on him in an offsite game, and his play feels very similar to that case so far. AFAICT he’s not going to respond if you pressure him. He’ll engage with the game in his own way at his own pace. If he never actually picks up over the course of the Day, then I might consider voting him, but for now it’s probably best to look elsewhere.
leetic I’ve played with once before, and his play here is significantly more aggressive than that; but considering that he was a blue in that game (whom I accidentally role-stole for a clean wolf sweep) this could just be natural boldness/impatience with being green, supported by the fact that he’s specifically trying to get everyone into the fold here.
I don’t have meta on anyone here other than the aforementioned two players, nor do I know site culture, and I won’t have time to get into either of those because I’m working this weekend. So stuff like leetic vs. neopest is gonna go completely over my fluffy little head – sorry~!
And then #60 makes me sad – I mean, I probably could have guessed this based on the fact that 9-player games are even being fielded in a single-game queue, but damn. All the sites that do TWG/Mafia even remotely like way I grew up with…will they all be extinct soon?
(Oh, and the post is alright game-wise, I guess. Posts/vote from neopest on P4 calls attention to DW’s hedginess but I find that’s pretty normal for less aggressive town early D1)
Down page 4, responses from DW make me lean town more definitively. The way they handle those last two comments shows an interest in being transparent.
As for #70, I’m kinda split on any meta reads over such timeframes, simply because it can be such a toss-up between a returning player going “I wanna put a new spin on things” vs. “I wanna splash into the nostalgia pool”, y’know? 1 post doesn’t give us much to go off yet either.
