Interesting idea. What does this achieve?
Last time I checked, voting for yourself is a lazy way of avoiding pressure, gives no info, doesn't get you reads. Unless you are schizo ^_^
Also hi there.
I'm one of the newbs, this is my first on-site mafia, therefore I am not aware of the site meta. Also find it pointless to link off site meta examples personally. Too many players fall into the meta trap to conclude reads. Anyway this is shit fluff talking. Grill me, bake me, do whatever that makes you happy until my alignment cookie crumbles infront of you.
I'll post my RVS vote, and call it a night.

Nevermind, I can just look it up myself.
Calix and Xata read pretty townie to me.
Don't know about you other 3 yet. If you want to, go ahead, but my style is highly dependent on my activity level. I'm very self-aware of my meta as well, which doesnt help. Town: more impulsive Very likely to tunnel, especially on someone who attacks me early Will defer to someone whose reads I respect(even if I don't think they're better than mine) when I don't know or know my lynch target won't happen. Lately I've been very stream of conscious oriented with my posting until I get pushed for the lack of quoted cases, then I dump everything I've been thinking. Everyone realizes I was town and I get killed a night or two later. As scum I try to emulate these things, but suck at pushing people except teammates. Haven't really played scum enough to see what other people catch me from.
Self meta drop, noted. I don't see why giving us insight into how you play is going to help us figure out your alignment in this game.
I normally see scum using this tactic to make themselves aware of their own tells when they play.
Maybe I will just skip RVS voting and go straight for you ^_^
you caught my attention hehe
P.S. activity should be a null tell for as far as I can tell.

Hmm. Stutters actually gives some early reads, I think I jumped the gun a little bit, in #226, rarity I seen in RVS.
|
I get a light town read on Calix based on #204, #207.
I'd like to hear more from Jealous, in #213, it sounds like a light scum read or suspicion on Stutter - but the way they phrase it as a question because they are confused makes me think they are hesitant on the read, just maybe?
|
I think I will stick my vote on Stutter for now, they caught my interest, good point on Calix #207 on criticising the quick reaction test. Behaviourally that makes me believe there was a lack of confidence in the plan, which was pointed out in #213 by Jealous as well.

I liked that last bit you wrote in the post. I feel the same way but I tend to be impulsive and pressurize my way into getting reads as a natural reaction when I begin playing through RVS which has lead to some results in getting activity in the game which is nice. I still have yet to see the point in the RVS in general but noticed the lack of presence of it so far here. Would like to hear the views of how you perceive RVS/what kinds of points given. This may not lead to alignment indicative posts, but gives me an understanding of where people's heads are at this point in the game.
That being said, I like how confident tone in that post, it could be from a very well seasoned player, but normally see caution amongst scum at the beginning, so I am definitely light town reading Jealous based on the #233, I also like how there is consistency on the behaviour reasoning for the post I questioned which again feels like they are not frabricating a reasoning.
Please note, my reads tend to have a dynamic flow as the game state changes so take it with a grain of salt.

Please note, my reads tend to have a dynamic flow as the game state changes so take it with a grain of salt. I don't believe in RVS for much the same reasons that I listed for reads. I will rarely if ever trust a player that votes and un-votes and re-votes multiple times per lynch cycle. Decisions like that need to be done with a firm hand, and not frivolously. Too many people playing silly pressure games can result in a ML. Mafia is a game of psychology, and voting creates social pressure on parties that may otherwise be more objective and thus could contribute to the discussion/analysis and not simply sheep or jump on a train. Not sure what you mean by the bolded above. I'm in this as a newbie so I'm definitely not a well-seasoned player ^^ Thank you, but don't suck up to me just yet, I tend to be wrong a lot, unfortunately.

Alright playing the catch up game~ my activity in this game has been shitty.
What exactly do you mean by a "silly pressure game"? You are agreement that we need to put pressure with votes to gain info though right? otherwise I am not understanding your thought process...
Not suck up, but rather don't want to underestimate your abilities.
Bolded refers to what kinds of conclusions can you arrive with at this - yet to know the answer to this.

I thought I'd settle with RVS in my entrance but shit actually happened. I had a slight scum read on Stutters, so my vote is no longer RVS.

(e.g., how often they vote or if they talk in a particular way) but I agree that a lot of people, myself included at times, use it as a substitute for analysis. I'm not familiar with many people here (I've only really played with Skynx/ Superbia/ Jealous before) and I'd like to keep it that way so that my analysis isn't skewed by some subjective interpretations of how XYZ played in a game like, 486973 years ago. Only exception is if it's a bad player who has pronounced differences between their town/ scum game that means they make themselves obvious or some shit. So if we could keep the "X is scum/ town due to meta" talk down to a minimum then that'll be lovely. As far as initial impressions go, I town-lean Jealous (this is mainly because we were posting similar things at approximately the same time when we were questioning Stutters so he's more likely to be coming from the same mindset as myself) Ambivalent on Daneler. I didn't like his entrance because he was using someone else's words to put forth his opinion and then commented on something that looks odd but his follow-up made sense. Stutters has done some questionable things with his claims to want to generate discussion.

You only got two responses before claiming it was a reaction-test? My dear Watson, the game is afoot. That does seem kind of counterproductive in retrospect.

Who could fall under this category of 'leading mafia' in your eyes, if anyone? Stutters is obvious town for me at least, I can understand why you wouldn't notice but I have played with him 4 times in a row and I'm pretty sure he is town.
*shakes my head* are you really going to settle on a town read based on meta???

The line you bolded would be weak reasoning if he had actually gone after Xata or spread suspicion on him, but I don't think he did. He moves on pretty quickly and after talking about mafia in a pretty general sense (not unusual for someone new to forum mafia, especially with Jealous getting into it too) he seems to be scumhunting. You have picked a pretty early statement from him that does not, to me, hold the significance you are assigning it. All of his statements are from around that time. Not to mention the apologetic/cautious nature. Just kind of screams first time scum to me.
Sweetheart, I have a lot of mafia experience. Nice try.

I'd like to hear more from Jealous, in #213, it sounds like a light scum read or suspicion on Stutter - but the way they phrase it as a question because they are confused makes me think they are hesitant on the read, just maybe? Not a scum read just yet. I don't crystallize or publicize my reads until I have a decent catalog of posts on which to base them, because I feel like weak pressure and baseless reads are harmful to town because they lack substance, have a higher probability of being wrong, and can lead to ML. I am just trying to get a feel for the players I am not familiar with and see what kind of person is behind the keyboard, why they say what they say, and thus look for inconsistencies in-game. So, Jealous, I want you to explain your stance on Stutters' answers to your questions.
I'm liking the confident tone in Jealous' posts that they take a stance with their views. Though they gave a reason for why they avoid giving reads in their #233, but the avoidance of reads could just them keeping their options open to avoid directly scum hunting I suppose so I won't disregard your point. It will depend where they lay their vote during lynch time I'd say.

I'm leaning town on Xatos his posts from #263 onwards shows he is progressing the game state in comparison to everyone else by addressing scum reads, and putting down a vote. Love those town characteristics. Let's see more.
Also can I ask why the fear of Mislynch is so high to both Jealou & ptmc? It's going to happen people, we can't avoid giving reads/votes out because of this, to some of us, voting is the only power we got to find information.
P.S. to #274: as soon as you equip a reason to a vote it is no longer random.

That is just speculation and if you were town you wouldn't force me to say why I have a town read. Why woudln't I do such a thing ? So apparently you think I'm scum ? No I didn't say that you are scum I just find it suspect why I have to tell you why I town read him even though I don't want to yet. There is no reason not to give your reasoning for a Town-read. I want to know why you think Shutters is Town and I will not accept "I'll tell you later" as an answer. The game is 4 pages long day one, take a chill pill. I dare to say I have done more than half the players in the game and in my experience you never hit mafia day one. It is much better to build a town circle. Also Stutters is in all likelyhood a blue role. And if he dies it is on you and Rels. I'm still not seeing an answer as to why you think Stutters is Town. Dodging my question is not making me any less suspicious of you. You realize what you're asking for...? I highly doubt Lunaticman actually believes Stutters is a TPR. It sounds a lot more like Lunaticman is just trying to fake a reason not to give a reason for the Town-read.
Sweetheart, I understand your suspicion on Lunatic, but I am worried about your confirmation bias leading you astray here.

I'm here and not scum. How disappointing.
Anyway, as it stands I'd be all for a d1 Xata lynch. Pretty sure he's fooled me like the last 3 times he's been mafia and that's no good.
It's not technically a role claim, but it's certainly something unnecessary to say. Why would your first sentence be the equivalent of "I'm not a Mafia."? While it's nothing definite, it seems rather odd to me. Probably the worst post in the game so far (and definitely the worst of the opening posts). It's a wishy-washy suspicion riding on already existing suspicions. Pretty much the safest possible suspicion to make as scum, and leaves you with plenty of options to proceed (vote for him if it gains steam or forget it if not). Even the tone is so passive and uninvolved.. True. The rest of his posts are just him responding to Calix too, so the only real post he made by himself was the one you linked. He might be scum Yeah, he might. At least if I had to shoot someone right now, I'd choose him. I guess you're suspicious of Lunaticman and Jealous so far? I agree they haven't really contributed anything meaningful, but is it just because of that? Yep. Ok  Well, I guess that's not the worst reason... Sorry I only answered the first question p: Lunatic because of this attitude of "I promise I'll tell you later but I won't tell you why", Jealous because of all the fluff in his filter when I know he's a pushy dude. Recently I've gotten a lot of comments about my not pushing enough actually ): I just don't feel as comfortable doing it now that I'm running a decent streak of poor pushes (because I scum read some townies). I try not to push until I have a decent catalog of posts to base my argument on nowadays, but things are awfully slow/quiet here..
Not sure how I am liking your shaken up tone here, Jealous. What's wrong with initially scum reading townies? How do you propose to learn about the alignment of players if you don't push for info?
Also if you fall into pbpa trap, guarantee you that confirmation bias is going to bite you in the ass.

Im going to concert so the TLDR, is tone/meta/activity. Stutters has shown more intrest and activity in the first day than recent games combined.
Of course he has a power role, and from context I dont think he is mafia.
I am kind of suprised by how this escelated from a simple townread. It feels like someone doesnt want to build a town circle and jerk peoples chain instead.
& what is wrong with jerking people's chain approach exactly???

You clearly didnt read the whole thing ptmc because I got pressured into saying Stutters was a blue read by rels and Da.
They called me scum for it and I saw no positive outcome in hiding the information since he could br killed by being a townread player anyway. No matter how you spin it you can make anyone look scummy.
Im going to sleep now and Im putting my vote on Da so I dont miss it.
Confused here. How does one get pressured into a blue read? Your read is your read, f*ck everyone else's opinion unless you are unsure. ^_^ (though I may have interpreted this part, oopsie if I did)
also note: just because you do scummy things, you shouldn't change your actions/thoughts for other people, playing to someone else's ways is going to make you look a hellava scummier player by being unsure of your playstyle.

To everyone else, this is why we should lynch him today. He's always one step ahead, we'll never catch him.
On a more serious note, how does everyone feel about going with the scummiest of the inevitable inactives? Activity always seems to be a struggle in these games and I won't be lynchbait for once. I'm usually pro-PL but it's too early to make such a decision. We need to see how others are posting. It's odd that you suggest this so early. This, plus there's Shutter's first post: On September 24 2016 07:46 Stutters695 wrote:
I'm here and not scum. How disappointing.
Anyway, as it stands I'd be all for a d1 Xata lynch. Pretty sure he's fooled me like the last 3 times he's been mafia and that's no good.
It's not technically a role claim, but it's certainly something unnecessary to say. Why would your first sentence be the equivalent of "I'm not a Mafia."? While it's nothing definite, it seems rather odd to me. So initially, contrary to Xatalos, i didn't think this is entirely bad. I can see myself saying something like the bolded bit, on the other hand reasons for coming up to the bolded part is shitty. Like Stutter's entry is nothing different than a "First! Townread me!", its entirel nai. So I'm thinking like hmmm he's a bit confused, then you wrote this... On September 24 2016 23:53 DanelerH wrote:I am not liking Lunaticman right now. First of all, basically all Lunatic has done is posted a random Town read. Let's take a look at it: On September 24 2016 16:38 Lunaticman wrote:On September 24 2016 16:18 Skynx wrote:
Hmm Lunatic intro worst i guess.
Man i dont get why get this PL discussion every game. Its quite simple, odds are town barely have any info D1 to decide on a proper lynch, hence guy with 2 posts dies. Sometimes scum slip, or someone has incredible meta read confidence or w/e, then you dont't pl. Simple stuff. Somehow I knew you would say that. I hope we can stay on friendly terms this time around but I doubt it. Stutters is so far the most obvious townie. I am a bit afraid of the logical development of this game. TL is filled with smarties that loves to talk the talk but always lynch the random dude that didnt sound smart. This will be the doom of us all I tell you, nobody can look more perfect then the mafia because they already know everything! This looks like the current meta afk townies and leading mafia for sure. This totally reminds me if the palmar/hf domination game check it out. Lunaticman just throws a random Town-read in the middle of a bunch of irrelevant information. Furthermore, xe doesn't give any reasoning for the Town-read. When asked about it, xe responded with this series of posts: On September 24 2016 20:07 Lunaticman wrote:On September 24 2016 19:29 Rels wrote:

Please explain Well I don't want to day 1 because of reasons to be disclosed at a later date. He is not going to be lynched today at the very least. On September 24 2016 20:49 Lunaticman wrote:On September 24 2016 20:27 Rels wrote:

I'll remember that. This "I promise I have ghood reasons" comes more often from scum than from town though. That is just speculation and if you were town you wouldn't force me to say why I have a town read. On September 24 2016 21:20 Lunaticman wrote:On September 24 2016 20:51 Rels wrote:

Why woudln't I do such a thing ?
So apparently you think I'm scum ? No I didn't say that you are scum I just find it suspect why I have to tell you why I town read him even though I don't want to yet. There is no reason not to give your reasoning for a Town-read. I want to know why you think Shutters is Town and I will not accept "I'll tell you later" as an answer. In this post the mindset transforms from confusion into a tryhard sr imo. Hmm... I'm a bit confused... What was the point/conclusion of this post? That he noticed my pressure of being so wishy-washy and switched to tryhard (sr?) mode? And does this make him scummy or what? How does it relate to his first post? Maybe it's not "entirely bad", but still the least towny way to start the game from what I've seen. I guess it's not like it's a scumclaim or anything like that It's a soft scumread, the point of the post being. I tried to show the way i went thinking about the post, so someone trying to interpret it the same way can see if it makes sense to him aswell. Hm. Ok. But I'm still a bit confused. How did he go from the first post (neutralish?) to somewhat scummy... Because his attitude changed to tryhard afterwards? I mean

This at first feels neutral territory thing, questioning the entry, posing out something unnecessary from it however it is actually nothing at all. The entire thing is purely nai with everyone being capable of saying all sorts of stupid stuff like "hey 1st post tr me plx ty xoxo" at beginning of the game and we just laugh it off. How he went about making that whole post was very triggering for me, then i saw the post about Lunatic and I'm like "ok this guys is literally trying to find absurd reasons to sr ppl". But you yourself disliked Lunaticmans townread of Stutters, no? Maybe it is too weak for a sr, but all i see DanelerH doing is to look further into that, which is a good thing imo. Hm. I guess you could look at it that way too. Maybe I've been a bit too tunneled on DanelerH. What I saw there was DanelerH fishing for information regarding blue tells (pretty much explicitly a scummy thing to do), but in fact, it's not really an accurate description since his push started before Lunatic pointed out that it was related to blue tells. So... I guess DanelerH looks a bit better after all. Meh, we'll see.
I feel like Daneler's tunneling onto Lunatic is coming from a town's mindset. Most scum would probably be too scared to stick to their guns this early - but I'll shut up with my wifom ^_^
