I figured this game was probably starting today, but I was too busy spending time out on my expensive boat at my expensive lake house with my expensive hookers. But here I am, for now at least.

Well, some of you I've played with before. Hellos! You should remember me as mighty hero Epishade, who slayed evil mafia-doer Eden for the win.

For those of you that don't know of me, I am mighty hero Epishade, who, in my last mafia game, slayed evil mafia-doer
Eden for the win.

Also, I'll try not to be so stupidly thorough as I was in my last game, like I said before. There are just some things you can't end up reading into when playing mafia, as people are too unpredictable.

Awesome post.

I´d like you to be thorough. I don´t know how thorough you were in your last game but a certain degree of thoroughness won´t hurt.




Right now I don´t really like sqrtofneg1 (holy shit, that is hard to spell). I don´t like how he said that he´s terrible at this in his introduction post. That´s no big tell, though.

I don´t like it for ingame reasons. It kinda had to laugh reading it. I Should have clarified that.

It´s not necessarily alignment indicative but I don´t see a reason to mention how bad you are at the beginning of the game. So it´s slightly strange to do so in my eyes.

The difference is intent. According to him, he didn't mean what he was saying from the start. I find this weird because he followed up that first statement with more evidence to support it, along with the assertion that finding sqrt to be town is "what must be done". He doesn't think sqtr is confirmed town, but says he's confirmed town, gives evidence that he is confirmed town, then switches to saying he's not confirmed town for the only reason that would have made sqtr not confirmed town in the first place.

Ultimately, the thought process doesn't make sense to me. Still need to figure out if I actually think it's scummy.

I would first like to point out that slam, fuba, and mderg have all taken opportunities to say what I'm doing is strange without really pushing any of it.

But, I will explain it because it is apparently far more complicated than I originally thought.

This is obvious sarcasm, as sqrt is clearly not confirmed anything. I was saying that the sqrt's question was probably town in a facetious way to make fun of the fact that he essentially broke the rules.


This was me explaining why the question was more likely from town, because bunnies asked.


This was me explaining that, obviously, sqrt was not actually confirmed town because it sounded like bunnies thought I was actually saying that. It was also reevaluating sqrt as normal people do when they are disagreed with.

I would like someone to explain what the scum thought process behind these posts would be.

I think I'm the only one who thinks Sqrt right now is town. Chromatically probably too.

Here are my thoughts.

Chromatically is saying Sqrt is likely town for asking about the coaches. Though it's not something that I particularly like doing either, I also think Sqrt wouldn't likely be asking about coaches if he were scum. It'd be a good move by Sqrt if he were actually really mafia and was planning on asking that to appear town, but I don't really think that's what happened here. In my interpretation, Sqrt then jokes about his being confirmed town because of his asking about coaches. Chromatically thinks it's a bit less townie of him to joke about being confirmed town, but I can't see a mafia making a joke about it like that.

Sqrt's probably town for me right now.

Chromatically is also probably town, maybe. Idk that he would go out of his way to claim Sqrt as probable town if he (Chromatically) were Mafia. I would think mafia would just care to give a neutral read on Sqrt if anything.

Bunny, you don't want to clear Sqrt. That's understandable I guess. You think a mafia could have just as easily asked about coaches, but I feel a bit differently about it, and feel that it's more likely that a townie asked about coaches then a mafia. No read on you so far.

Alakaslam seems to be pushing a bit on Chromatically and Sqrt for backtracking, but I believe he's making a big case over a joke. I also am unsure of how what Chromatically said implies inherent guilt. Maybe I misunderstood what Alakaslam was saying. @Alakaslam, can you explain your thought behind that again.

Fuba - I put you kind of in the same boat as Alakaslam. I find it hard to understand what you're trying to push Chromatically on. Your phrasing, to me, is a bit poor in this line, "Are you saying that the phrase itself was an exaggeration, or you meant to exaggerate?" As, to me, they both mean the same thing. You say the difference is intent and I don't really follow much of what you said in the rest of your post, "According to him, he didn't mean what he was saying from the start. I find this weird because he followed up that first statement with more evidence to support it, along with the assertion that finding sqrt to be town is "what must be done". He doesn't think sqtr is confirmed town, but says he's confirmed town, gives evidence that he is confirmed town, then switches to saying he's not confirmed town for the only reason that would have made sqtr not confirmed town in the first place."

Don't really have a read on anybody else as of yet.

Okay, back.
You guys really shouldn't clear me for coach slip thingy.

Reads so far:
Epishade: Town
Chromatically: Town
Bunnies: Top town. I absolutely love how she's still suspicious of me.
slOosh: Leaning town.
Everyone else: no idea.
No scum reads yet, but eventually they will come.
