Okay, so a lot of people have come out and said that they think what I'm saying is devoid of content. With that in mind, I've gone back over all the pages of the game and put together the below. Apologies for the wall of text, but I put it together as I was reading through, so it's going to be a bit stream-of-consciousness-y.
==
@Kickstart - You said on your post on page 13 that you found some things scummy, but you were going to wait and see whether they changed. Can you now say what you were talking about?
@Damdred - In your post on page 14 you said that ritoky shouldn't be lynched and that you would "revisit him during the night to make sure". Am I missing a rule here, or did you just come out as the cop? Is it possible that there is even a cop, since Onegu has claimed VT (I assume that's veteran?)?
@Ritoky - You asked me a question on page 15 which I missed, I think. I got a poor read from your initial posts. My (admittedly newbie) view is that a mafia member wouldn't paint themselves all over the first two pages of a thread, especially with things as banal as you did. However, the obvious "next-level" play is to do it as mafia, relying upon everyone thinking that it would be far too weird a play for a non-mafia to make. One thing that struck me was that Kickstart changed his view on you when he said your posting style had improved, even though it hadn't by that point. That was strange to me. You were still posting gifs and one-liners, and I don't think you had really contributed anything of merit. It's not a lot to go on, but it all strikes me as a possible attempt for you to get yourself established as the harmless town clown, which naturally sucks all of the venom out of your accusers. Then again, later on I've already said earlier in the thread that Kickstarter's opening post was not to my taste. If I had to say, I'd say I have you both as slight-mafia reads. As to your question about VE and Chocolate, I think I answered that later. Sorry for not spotting your question until now.
@Onegu - Can you explain to me why you would claim the special town role (VT) so early on? Doesn't that just make you an easy take-out for the mafia, since nobody (except Damdred?) has counter-claimed you?
Having seen more of milo's posts, I'm leaning back towards null. We honestly didn't have that much to go on at the start, and I think his reference to being okay with lynching was probably just a slip. His recent posts strike me as the most genuinely typed things (ie don't read as being written with an agenda).
I've made a list of all of the positive and negative things that people have said so far, and the person I come out most closely aligned to is Nydus, which I guess would make him my biggest town read. Specifically, Nydus has voiced suspicions on Kickstart and ritoky, which I share. He has also been suspicious of Damdred, and I have to agree with that. Whereas Kickstarter is coming across more as a traffic cop, I think Damdred seems too keen to infuse his posts with a sense of "I am town, no arguing", which seems off to me. VE's posts have the same tone to me. When Damdred got pushed on page 28, he reacted very viciously ("this is shit!"), which doesn't read to me as frustration (which a townie would have), but more like faux-righteous anger (which is more scummy). I also, as I stated before, generally agree with Chocolate as well, which puts him more towards town for me.
However, after all of that, I see on page 27 that Kickstarter has the same view of Nydus as me, and also seems similarly critical of Damdred. So now I'm not sure what to believe.

EBWOP - In my response to Ritoky, that should be "relying upon everyone thinking that it would be far too weird a play for a MAFIA to make".
Sorry for the double-post.

However back to your read on him and why it is strange:
Nydus thinks or thought that you are scum, he thinks 1 of your 2 top towns is scum and has reinforced it later (me), and he thinks your other top town's case on mafia is crap. So he literally completely disagrees with everything except your templar read, which tbh he may not actually stand behind that much cuz all we have is a #scum post. Even moreso he has a town read on milo who all 3 of your towns have pinged out as potential scum over the course of the 1st day. I just don't see how tone could possibly overrule how utterly wrong Nydus should appear to you. You haven't even called him donkey town....just a town lean. This read feels really out of place....
Ritoky, read the bolded part. It would probably explain your inability to townread me.
Anyways, for whoever addressed my #scum comment on Templar, it was semi trolling semi serious. I didn't like how little content he had given for his very first post so I called him scum to troll him. Regardless, I think most of his reasons for calling people scum/town are weak or sheeped. I can't tell if he's scum or just lazy town but I'm more inclined to think it's the former.
I can't tell what to make of the VE/milo interaction. The way VE went blazing on milo I kind of just assumed whatever VE was saying about milo was true but after he retracted his initial reason for pushing on milo... I don't know... it just feels really awkward. I'm still reading VE towny but I've only honestly seen him play in video mafia and don't know how deceptive he could be in forum mafia.
After a couple of the more recent posts, I'm getting a town feel from Ritoky. Just his level of attention to detail seems innately towny to me. Can someone who played with Ritoky tell me a bit about his mafia play because compared to Carnaval Do Brazil (sp?) it seems different and he was town in Carnaval so...
|
I would say it was, except for the sheer amount of dumb tells in it. His Damdred cop read seems forced. However, if his point of view is someone who has never played any type of mafia before, then it's possible he's just really misreading the quote that way. If I had to answer that question, I'd say that this makes Fidei very town, but I'm going to accept the possibility that he might be a good enough player to type that as mafia.

@milo - can you explain how else I'm supposed to read the Damdred quote? Honest question here. I've thought about it a bit, and my understanding is that only role town/Mafia get to act during night. So how could Damdred do anything, unless he had a role?

Ok, took me longer to get back to this game than I thought thanks to a rough day at work, bit disappointing that there has only been ~4 new pages in the thread though, activity seemed better right at the start.
Couple of things that I wanted to respond to right away, before I reread the thread and start putting together more solid reads for EoD.

GG is my top scum right now. No questions. Was expecting him to at least react to my response or something...
I'm unsure of Damdred, though he's earning town points in my book for reacting the same way I did to GG.
I'd really like to hear from Onegu and def need to see more out of Scott. I hate to say it but scott could be scum atm. I've seen him lynched D1 twice now, when he was town he was active until he got tunneled and when he was scum he posted very much like he's doing this game. Quick little reads and short response posts. Also half his posts atm are just stating facts, nothing game relevant.
Milo does look kinda scummy but I'm not sure yet, I'd like to see more out of him. Right now I cant tell if he is actually scum or if he just looks out of place because he isn't used to this style of mafia. His frustration over being insta-scummed by several people is understandable, especially being new here. Could you restate your response please?
GG, dude, it's D1 and your already asking me to repost/restate stuff I've said? It's not a long thread to read yet, and my filter is def not that long... Besides, shouldn't you be paying attn to my posts more than anyone's if your scum reading me?

And of course I know SL, who I may have to ignore. I apologize in advance if I start tunneling him, I have a tendency to do that. I think your intentional emphasis on the fact that you are 'HIGHLY' suspicious of people is scum-indicative. You are making sure we all know you are 'suspicious' of people, aka have imperfect information aka are town. A very roundabout and subtle way to go about telling people you are town. I think this is an excellent policy vote. ##Vote Tictock He never actually voted in the voting thread, but this looks like a Chezinu rule vote to me - A misguided understanding of a fairly new guy - when town would be afraid to vote so early but scum wants to start a easy ML. @Scott, I'm not familiar with the bolded term, mind elaborating?
I agree that this completely looks like a scum play to me. He's mimiking a vote already on me, his reasons for voting me aren't bad per say but they are far from solid. GG dropped into the game and just made that read without trying to interact with me and ignored my response to him + Show Spoiler +and I have to assume any of my other posts, I'm active enough that you should be able to expand on that read on me by now . I know I've been guilty of doing the former, but I've always been on the lookout for responses from people I'm putting pressure one. GG is not even bothering to look for my responses to him, and acting like I still need prove something to him. I def feel like I'm being slow pushed here for no reason, total scum move.

He's going to revisit his reads during the night, as in checking them over. If he was going to cop visit, he wouldn't be 'revisiting'. Also, he'd have to be a pretty new or subpar player to claim cop.

@milo okay, thanks. It seems like a weird thing to say, given that the only difference in night time is presumably the frequency of posts. Still, it would be massively weird for someone to come out as cop this early, so happy to let that one lie for now.

EBWOP - the "for now" bit at the end can be dispensed with.

I think the point is that during the night, there isn't a new content to respond to. You can take a break, reread old things from a new perspective, and generally reconsider the game.
