Hi. This is my first game here and I'm not really sure how things get started off here but I'm wondering if everyone could share their alignment preference. Would help me see how high I need to set the bar when reading them. I prefer town.

How long have you been playing mafia?

Several years now.

Why are you lurking?

Just finding it hard to follow the flow of conversation and keep track of who is saying what especially with no avatar. I'm sure I'll get into it with a bit of time though.

Can you explain that?

Sure. I liked that me answering your question without commenting on anything else in the thread pinged you. It showed that you were scumhunting early and it makes sense to push on someone who was reading the thread closely enough to respond immediately but not actually posting anything.

Why?

It just seemed like an easy jump and the thought process felt shallow.

Here's how I see it:
1. Scum typically lurk (at least more often than not) and I've scumread people in the past who answer irrelevant fluff questions without participating in the major discussion in the thread at the time especially early on in the game.
2. Koshi asked me a question.
3. I ignore everything else (the discussion between Xatalos and Damdred for instance) and respond to that pretty much instantly.
4. This shows I was reading the thread and refreshing it fairly often even if I'm not commenting. That's more often than not something scum do although there were extenuating circumstances here.
5. Koshi picked up on it and asked why I was lurking. That showed me he was on the lookout for possible scum even outside the major thread of discussion. So, I think he's probably town. It's not solid but that's the best read I have this early on.
6. Damdred I think missed the subtext entirely. He just threw out a shallow read "oh, he's appeasing someone who engaged him so he could be scum." It's just an easy read on someone he thinks would be an easy target. He doesn't really wonder why I townread Koshi or even straight up ask me.

Why are you townreading Damdred?

Also. Try to just add your reasoning in every post you make. Making a comment and then just waiting till somebody drags an answer out of you is just annoying. And possibly scummy.

I'm happy to give reasons when asked. But first I wanted to see if anyone else picks up on where I'm going without me being explicit. Might help me get a better read on them or at the very least it would help me understand how they read and interpret the game.

Also, Damdred applying newb-scumtells like "appeasing someone who engaged him" to me right after I said I played mafia for several years also seems a bit too simplistic.

Join us. Vote Damdred.

I'm a little confused by the voting system here. Why are people voting in thread when there's a separate thread specifically for voting? Am I supposed to vote in both threads?

What is up with people putting words in people's mouths when they didn't say them?

My mistake. You said "fearless read on Koshi for no real reason." Calix was the one who said "try to appease someone engaging with him."

I find both of these things pretty shallow actually. What did you imagine my reason was?

If you are scum it would be tmi hehe.

As for I you were town, the motivation with a one liner would be harder to ascertain in that situation. Initial thought would be koshi was being to much of a dick to be scum with his I won't do anything shtick

So, what's the scum motive to post an early read? And if you can see a potential town reason I'd townread Koshi as town, why would posting that read move me into scum territory?

This thread is going too fast for me. From a skim, I agree that Calix is town. I'm somewhat ambivalent on Damdred and I didn't like Malongo's posts. I'm going to try and re-look at everyone's filters after work tonight.

The speed of this thread is way too fast for me, sorry. I just returned from work and there are several new pages. I don't think I can keep up with this game. I asked to be replaced. I'm just used to a much slower pace. Maybe some other time.
