i take back my excitement about it being a more active d1 than normal, those were some words that i have now read

anyways my approach to this game is premised on the fact that this is a brand new variant with a brand new meta. peoples' behaviors are going to be wildly different and if you ask me, normal scumhunting paradigms should be thrown out the window.

this is why i like dumey and don't really like chris all that much. chris, while recognizing that this is a new game that requires new ideas, has come out of the gates quite strong with a lot of commentary on peoples' previous gameplay. i don't mind the effort, but the acknowledgements of the game's structural differences kind of feel like an afterthought or an appended comment as opposed to the premise of his analysis. obviously i can't know for sure how chris would come out of the gates here as town, but i feel like it would be a bit more "let's stop and think about different alignments' incentives here" than diving into legacy play.

conversely, dumey's suspicion of chris is based in 'this is what i think scum would do in this game' which i like. scum's objective here is to pocket 2 town allies, in its simplest form. then you can make it through alternating days safely. suspicion based in 'the way you were trying to build relationships is sus' is appropriate and i don't have a reason to really disagree with the read.

anyways overall it might be a bit simplistic, but i think that a d1 town perspective is harder to fake right now and i don't see dumey as performative. chris yes, dumey no.

otherwise i like lea, sultan, and lopen at the moment.
