Okay, I am bach, I hope it is not to late for my "awesome" entry post.

So, this is my first forum-mafia game ever (played a bit of IRL-mafia though).
Since I am not really quick-witted and need some time to formulate/analyze questions/answers, I think forum-mafia might suit me better.

I've read the guide and a few of the recommended older mafia games on this forum.
Soon I realized that I definitely will need to take notes to keep up with everything that will be happening.

Therefore I plan on making a list of posts I like or dislike (aka read as towny or scummy) sorted by day and poster. I also plan on tracking relationships between posters (who is pushing whom and so on).

And now a question especially (but not only) for our vets: can you recommend other stuff that is worth noting down/tracking?

Hey guys. Sorry for the late entry. I've been somewhat distracted playing KanColle recently; there's an event on and I'm desperate to clear it, first event I've been in. Anyway there's probably just about enough to write something on most people now so...off we go.

Unfortunately in the time I've been away I've NOT been keeping an eye on games going on. Then again I tend to prefer any meta reading from games people have actually been in together. On with the show:


Reads:

Tictock has posted nothing. So I got nothing. Neutral.

y0su hasn't really posted very much but I think this is their first game? None of the posts so far come across as being scared, on the other hand ALL of their posts since the game started have been basically off-topic with no real attempt to push anyone or draw any reads. Neutral, want to see some actual worthwhile stuff pretty fast though or that'll start drifting red.

disformation starting post I REALLY don't like. However he IS making an attempt to start producing reads. Earnest newbie with a weak entry I think. Weakly town.

scott31337 was REALLY quick to jump on a HtS vote after Superbia claimed that HtS saying she was away wasn't in her filter. And he didn't take the time to check it himself. That's either incredibly sloppy play or he's scum.

ritoky's sole post of note is an easy push on disformation. Other than that he's just posting nonsense and off-topic stuff. Coming across as pretty scummy to me; complete misdirection plays.

The Shining decent filter length (not many people on two pages), asking for opinions, pressuring people. Not exactly opening strong on his reads but I seem to remember him playing the same game last time around with "I can't do day 1" so I'm almost inclined to believe it. Also picked up on the HtS thing. Probably town.

Half the Sky already said she wouldn't be here until tomorrow evening. Not giving her a free pass for the whole of "Daytime 1" but for now I can't really say anything here.

Superbia early vote on HtS, then either misses her post in the filter dives or flat out lies about it (I'm thinking the former because it's a REALLY easy lie to prove wrong). Also went for the easy pressure on disinformation (like ritoky) and since the HtS thing fell apart hasn't done much.

FecalFeast appears to be both engaging people, picking at things that don't fit and also supremely relaxed. Town.

prplhz hasn't done much except making vague comments about how he doesn't like The Shining's initial post. Can't really say more without seeing more.

sicklucker posted nothing. Withholding judgement.

Stutters695 again posted nothing. However he stated "going to catch up real quick." and then didn't follow up on it. Neutral until he does something worth having.


Initial thoughts:

I could place Superbia and scott in a mafia team together here. HtS is inactive, Superbia puts up a pressure vote and then posts that she didn't say she was going to be away (although it's a pretty easy lie to prove false, so it's more likely he just missed it). Him missing it in and of itself isn't necessarily alignment indicative; but scott's reaction and total trust that Superbia is telling the truth is a gigantic red flag for me, since mafia team members would inherently trust each other's comments like that. scott votes as well in order to start getting pressure on HtS and maybe start a vote train because people are fairly easily swayed on day 1 and in the meantime the two of them can feed off free town credit as being people who were leading a vote train.

Although scott would have really weird luck to roll mafia so often.

Other than that I'm going to point my final finger at ritoky from the simple lack of anything useful despite a fair few posts in here; plus the circumstantial evidence of both him and Superbia pressuring the same guy. Also was recently making excuses for Superbia who I've got a bad feeling about.


Queries:

Stutters - care to follow up on your "catching up" comment? Some reads, if you please.

Would also like to see something from prplhz and ritoky. Both have been in the thread since the start here but neither have posted much of anything.

Oh and I didn't leave a note on who I'd lynch at this point.

If I had to vote right now I'd put it on scott. His response to Superbia's note that HtS didn't say that she was going to be away was terrible. Either he was bandwagonning with a fellow mafia or he's town playing in a way that is absolutely detrimental to a town win (by blindly trusting what someone claimed without checking it themselves). Either way its a liability.
