I was going to make some huge entrance post for this game, which I figured that approximately zero people would read. But then I didn't have enough time, so I didn't.
So instead, I'll just cut to the point.
I had this great toneread on Half the Sky, and then I realized that rsoultin already commented on the same thing. I agree that Half the Sky's "happiness" does feel very forced.
I'm also somewhat suspicious of LightningStrike. Not for wasting posts, but for justifying a lower posting (and higher content) style by saying he will play like someone else did in a game isn't necessary at all. If LightningStrike wanted to use a low post count style because of the post limit, I would expect him to just go ahead and do that (and quite possibly announce what he would be doing). But I really don't understand why he would justify this by comparing it to someone else in a different game.
I would be inclined to think that KelsierSC is town, but this post gives me pause.

Rsoultin already expressed that she is suspicious of Half the Sky, so I'm really not sure why KelsierSC is asking this. KelsierSC has no reason to say this, so it feels like buddying to me.
she made a post with a lot of words in it but I had no idea who was mafia.
Which shows that you did not read the post very carefully at all. You seem willing to be present in the thread and to talk with people, but you aren't reading carefully. Suspicious. + Show Spoiler [Explanation] +
hi ^^ yay for game finally starting lol so much hype! \o/
towniest town who ever towned por supuesto, who is the next towniest?
you only know if you're town, you don't know how towny you are yet
lol yeah? oh damn, you caught me xP shoulda read my pm! (the role changes how towny i am, does it? xP such odd ideas you have, ksc) hmmm try hard right from the start, ja? pero i don't know why you'd want to waste a post on saying my role pm changes my level of towniness, any more than why ls would waste a post saying hi before commenting on a geript student V style posting strategy

Yamato-kun! how happy are you today? lol...finally ending that scum streak maybe?
First, there aren't actually that many words. It's just a post with a lot of quotes and white space.
I colored rsoultin's post as indicated by her statements. She's pushing at least the same level of suspicion on multiple people as you are with you own accusation (that rsoultin's made a wordy post with no scumreads).
pushing suspicion isn't calling someone mafia, hence the question.
bueno, bats apparently has chosen not to participate in tonight's festivities :/ after something of a sermon about leadership/followership lol >< no idea why he'd choose that way to convey those ideas. too strange to really draw anything from (for me, anyway)
-yawns at ksc- if i'm clear enough for others to figure out, i don't see what your problem is xP i'm a rackastack not a one-post scum-finding wonder but apparently truffle is the rsoul-whisperer...his coloring was correct on my leans with perhaps closer to null on you and ls (pink! yay!)...still deciding whether the aggression is misguided or deliberately focused on things that mean nothing ^^
hrum, truffle-bby you talk of buddying while mirroring my obviously wonderful preliminary reads but lol >< you don't see the humor in that? xP i presume since you're suspicious of ksc and talking of buddying you find me town (another easy read and i already told everyone as much xP)
Hey guys. This is going to be tremendous fun. With a group of players this good, I know that I will be improving my play. I don't care to give some general questions for everyone as well.
1) How do you rate yourself in terms of your play?

no one got time for that, just look at the game so far and give your thoughts or just make a better post.

This question format is no good. You should always go with a 1-5 scale with 1 being "Strongly Disagree" and 5 being "Strongly Agree." Statistical analysis is much easier when you use a scale.
Try this:
1) I rate myself highly in terms of my play 1 Strongly Disagree 2 Disagree 3 Neutral 4 Agree 5 Strongly Agree
2) I rate others in this game highly in terms of their play. 1 Strongly Disagree 2 Disagree 3 Neutral 4 Agree 5 Strongly Agree
3) There are things I would change about my play. 1 Strongly Disagree 2 Disagree 3 Neutral 4 Agree 5 Strongly Agree
This is almost as bad a read as me saying GB is town just saying.
However at this point I have a couple of preliminary town reads I believe just by tone and posting style and somewhat on content.
Rsoultin seems to be genuinely using the posts to press good ideas while pressing issues that are important in the thread.
HTS and Trfel both seem to have a good tone about them and it seems it is easy to follow what they mean while it somewhat mirrors what RS says I think it is a good sign of things to come and both are good leans.
KSC... is a bit harder for me to get a handle on at this point, I have a slight town lean on him. His tone and general demeanor remind me of Void Mafia at this point. However his style is also reminiscent of mini mafia to an extent, but the content is different. I'm pretty ok with him at this point.
LS is interesting, he always wastes posts but we'll see what his other posts do.

Like how are you supposed to know that e.g. LightningStrike's opinion of his play is a full standard deviation higher that batsnack's opinion of his play unless you use a scale.

Rs is pressing good ideas and important issues , but the only "good" idea she has really pushed is that HTS has a forced tone and is mafia.

The most impressive part is that you ignored the trutly contradicting things I put into the post but key'd in on something that I actually believe.

To expand a good bit,
RS posts are decently good and even though the idea of HTS being mafia running in multiple posts, most of the posts however are well thought out and even the post where RS was being a pita towards the thread up above it still conveyed good ideas in a good manner.
However there is something really off in my reads.

you believe HTS has a forced tone and is mafia? but you just wrote she has a good tone about her.
that is what is confusing me, how can rs have good ideas about hts but hts have a good tone to you?
I was going to make some huge entrance post for this game, which I figured that approximately zero people would read. But then I didn't have enough time, so I didn't.
I had this great toneread on Half the Sky, and then I realized that rsoultin already commented on the same thing. I agree that Half the Sky's "happiness" does feel very forced.
I'm also somewhat suspicious of LightningStrike. Not for wasting posts, but for justifying a lower posting (and higher content) style by saying he will play like someone else did in a game isn't necessary at all.

But I really don't understand why he would justify this by comparing it to someone else in a different game.
I would be inclined to think that KelsierSC is town, but this post gives me pause.

Town here. Again. *happy dance*
Excited for this game, particularly with some of the possible roles I've not seen yet in normal games (puppeteer, dreamflower, pardoner, nuker etc).
Do tell me how you managed to arrive at your conclusion from this post?
I'm glad that Trfel and KSC seem to be thinking critically now.
Your original question kel was a little lacking but the follow up was much better I think.
Firstly I don't necessarily have to agree with someones read on them to like the direction that they are going in the way that they are posting or the ideas they are pushing.
I think that HTS tone is decent in the post and I just kind of tacked it on to see who would call me out on it while they were reading. Plus it got some more conversation going

I don't really understand why people are so quick to call rsoul town. Nothing jumps out at me as being particularly townie. A lot of people seem quick to call her town and sort of buddy up. She is bringing up the points she things are important but I don't agree with all of it. i don't agree with the HTS read and the rest of what she says is pretty lacklustre
