I can't really tell why one scenario should be particularly more likely than the other. So... *shrug* ritoky's pretty null for me basically Alright, I can see how it could come from town. I would say it's more likely from mafia because it's a very easy thing to point out about a very easy person to jump on, whereas town would explain why they thought gumshoe's thought process was scummy instead of just giving a laundry list of "tells" like this: On October 22 2015 06:41 ritoky wrote: poorly explained response, forced joke, clear post editing, extra lines at the end of post. I'm not as confident in it now as I was, but I think it's still reasonable especially in combination with the fact that the rest of his posts are pure filler with no actual reads/town content. | ||

I'd say mafia are more prone to overexplanation, no? :> | ||

I think mafia are likely to explain tells in a general way (what ritoky did) , but applying them to specific people is much harder because that's when you have to explain how their town actions were motivated by a mafia thought process. | ||

Well, I think he is mafia because he is assuming things in absolutes. I'm used to see Vivax being paranoid town and him giving a bunch of town reads right out of the blue does not looks like his standard gameplay. | ||

Here's the quote in question: On October 22 2015 06:45 ritoky wrote: at start of game mafia more likely to re-read and edit their post than town is. town more prone to be natural. the lines at the end, the changes between capitalizing and not capitalizing, and some other aspects shows he read and edited the post. He's giving a textbook definition of the tell and then saying that gumshoe did that, rather than talking about why that makes him mafia. Scum do X, player A did X, therefore A is scum - easy for mafia to point out player A did X and the mafia reasoning behind A doing this thing in this context... - harder Do you see what I'm saying? Maybe I'm wrong and it's just a difference in post style but I think the first one is much easier for mafia to do. | ||

But BH and Xata I didn't see it. I simply dislike his tone, it's not his usual paranoid, and his town reads were too easy to give. | ||

Like I get what you're saying about the townlist, but you need to explain it much much better about calling people mafia. | ||

GB did you totally ignore the post where I actually muse about ritoky's alignment for a bit before deciding to townread him? Or the fact that going aggressive on yamato early was part of my early game strategy, which I also said in the thread (and later turned to actual confidence on him being scum). I saw he posted a bit on the phone today so I'll have to process that first, but that's not the point I'm making with this post. | ||

I like my vote better now than when I made it when it was more of a random punt | ||
