Like I said earlier. Of course I have an agenda, get rid of potential scum or hostile indies and any other non-town aligned players. Players giving out too many town reads just off initial vibes can be a crippling tactic since the game's foundation is based around trust, perception, and otherwise any kind of angle that can get a possible scum player in a position of authority or town credibility to lead or help influence mislynches. I have no problem with you realizing that my agenda here is to be extremely suspicious about easy town reads from someone to multiple people.The reasoning behind questioning Ratchet is acceptable enough given it could easily be seen as piggybacking off of Magic, but I have a problem with the way you immediately seemed to have a massive problem with an early town read on two players. You are correct that I am absolutely implying the possibility that you have an agenda, as it’s extremely easy to discredit reads with a half ass angle and try to stop any potential Town pool.
Correct.As far as I’m aware, any reads given by someone whether Town or Scum should be taken with an extreme grain of salt at this early of a stage in the game.
Yes, could've just condensed this into "its day 1 so shit can happen any which way." But yes.That should go without saying even to anybody on said lists, like myself. You say their argument was weak but it’s not as if there would be a massive amount of explanation to give in the first place.
I doubt if Magic was scum he would very easily be that blatant about giving early focus or pushing the spotlight on you and Poison just right out the gates when the game started. But I also have no idea what his level of skill as a mafia player in general is so I have to take it with a grain of salt and distrust still. There have been plenty of games where we have had strong town players misread a wolf whose lead or used fake cop results, behavioral tells and what not to lead town to lose. So understandably if you are a new player to me, I'm going to have less to work off past experience (read: zero) from you in our first game and be more distrustful in the early stages of the game.An initial read is a read, and they gave their reasoning. Also likewise to your wording, because if Magic has an angle to giving those early reads what exactly is it? To try and clear his potential scummates, which in this case would be me and poison? To give names just to name them?
Also, not sure how much relevance another game has, since like you said we never played prior to that?
