lol I recommend that everyone should have to read guides between their newbie games. I've noticed something happening in each of my games... there is often a dominating type of "scumhunting" that everyone in town starts using even tho it's not the best way. In this game it was talking about inconsistencies. (I did it a lot especially with arteides and remedy) But there is always something that somebody gets accused of... such as being defensive, having slight inconsistencies, and stuff like that which could be attributed to town or mafia. (especially since we're in newbie games) Once somebody makes a case saying "player X is scummy because he does Y" then another person makes the same type of accusation: "player Z is scummy because he does Y" and then the rest of the game is people searching for other people doing Y and everyone gets tunnel vision focusing on Y and they become oblivious to all the more reliable characteristics of mafia mentality. For mafia that's great. All you have to do is make cases based on people doing Y and it looks like you're scumhunting as well as anyone else... when in reality nobody is doing a great job of it.
