I cannot speak to every hosts preference, but generally, a mafia will fit a specific theme. That means if it says they are a goat in their profile, every clue could be a reference to a goat somehow. The easiest way to figure this out is to find words or phrases that although work, seem oddly worded, or the action is one that seems odd. Why was something that is considered "trivial" written about, etc... It takes alot of night posts to really build a solid clue sheet to run off of. I love analyzing clues, moreso than some, but over the last few games i have grown a large appreciation for behavioural analyzing. Behaviour is much much stronger early game, and lategame clues become much stronger (less people makes it easier to connect things to). that all being said, you also have to have the ability to firmly stamp out who you think is red, why, with decent reasoning behind you (analyzing post behaviour, clues, whatever. TRY NO TO EMPHASIZE PM'S AS YOUR REASON, PM'S CAN NO BE PROVEN). If you have a detailed thorough analysis, it will cause people to talk, or at least it should. Once this is done, you have alot more for the town to analyze in terms of posts, voting, whatever. If you successfully nab a red in your analysis, you can likely get 1-2 more reds from targeting them and so on. | ||

This game, you all like, opted to purely look at clues for awhile (which is great) but during the day 1-day 2 area, you almost will never catch one based off a clue correctly. Obvious redherrings in single word use is also something to typically avoid. Ie. quickstriker. PATENTLY FALSE. | ||

It's a long-running joke because the town would always lynch decafchicken based on coffee showing up in the day post. "Quick attack" is in the same vein of really obvious stuff that won't be a clue. | ||

I spent a while thinking about it and thought that it makes absolutely no sense for it to be included by accident (most of the day//night posts are descriptive//imaginative and this stood out) so assumed it must be a clue. | ||

Remember the Cheese Factory! The thing that makes clues hard is that you don't know how the host makes clues. | ||
