Fireball are you changing ur writing style as part of the hydra gimmick?

The way you're writing feels kinda unnatural

Yes I am. I am writing much more formally than I usually would.

This one is in the normal queue archive, for example, for a towngame of Chennis; https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.p ... #p10976751

Again, what's being discussed is hardly relevant. The tell is much simpler.

Oh that's the one i was in

Oh nm lol

[gobbledygook]

Skitter you are town for your response about Elements.

[skitter30]

I can fake that

[gobbledygook]

I don’t think you fake it as fast as you typed it

Yeah, it feels kinda stilted and unnatural

I think holding my tell has generated enough results in regards to reaction and won't produce anything new, so I might as well share it with the rest of the playerlist.

In the majority of games that chennis has played as town, his typing style is fairly loose. "this is how chennis would type most of his sentences". It is fairly congruent with his stream-of-consciousness style of posting, with no regards to grammar. Notice in particular that his sentences, more often than not, start with a lowercase letter.

On the contrary, in Gay Dance, all of his posts were written starting with an uppercase and fairly well written. My style of posting would be comparable to Chennis' Gay Dance game, for example. It's a subconscious tell when people try to get taken more seriously, such as people try to show a professional facade when applying for jobs. This is fairly telling when it comes to mafia, as it indicates that Chennis as town does not necessarily desire to be taken seriously, but very much does so when playing as scum, hence the clean posting style, and the incongruence between stating he does not care about this game, and vehemently arguing against my reason for voting him.

You may think it is completely absurd, but this is the kind of thing that people do on a subconscious level that gives them away textually. It is akin to someone smiling when they are lying in face-to-face mafia, for example. This is why it is quite a serious scumtell in my eyes.

Does this site say whether things were posted from mobile at all?

[Channel Fireball]

Another subconscious tell would be assuming that our slot has a lyncher win-condition as a justification of us pushing there, instead of simply we are scum trying to score a mislynch. It's a subconsious tell that we are town, and that Chennis therefore subconsciously came up with an explanation that would make sense in his point of view. Those things are quite important.

u know what i meant.

ALT wincon.

also ik you might think 2076 is more recent cuz it ended later but actually 2081 is more recent (i joined 2081 WAY AFTER i died in 2076): https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.p ... er_sort=Go

the capslock thing is something i do more often as both alignments recently. in GS you'll see i didn't do it

[Channel Fireball]

Yes, there are exceptions to the rule. I noticed it. Your initial reaction to our push kind of reaffirmed my position however.

Although, if there is someone with an alt-condition that goes against yours, I guess your reaction could make sense.

- Fireball.

[Channel Fireball]

I have a question, however. Why would you assume in that case that we would be that player, instead of all the other players that voted you prior? Does that player holding that wincondition know your identity?

- Fireball.

[Acute Right Obtuse]

uh a real scumtell might be that as scum id push a general agenda in my first post about stuff that kinda goes without saying.

gameshow i pushed "lynch scum even if 8ball" and "we need to lynch" - conveniently gets me shallow TRs to work with and i can push my agenda in that mould of "duh that's townie"

2077 doesn't fit the mould

gay dance i pushed "let's not pair in a shitty way" and "lol we only need 3 LOCKTOWN PLAYERS LOLOL" - it didn't become immediately obvious that i was putting myself in that agenda and it took a long time so people thought it was natural, and i killed all the town before they realized

this was actually subconscious and yeah im getting more self-aware of my scumgame.

id think probably?

now that you've started engaging in good faith i will take a look at the rest of my wagon - but as far as i can tell a lot of it was weird/jokey reasons

UNVOTE:

[Acute Right Obtuse]

specifically i'd think the person is town because if they were scum they could just NK me to manipulate their condition into fulfilling and that's too boring/bad
