[Farkran]

Actually you do. And i accomplished my mission by getting everyone to talk profusely and provide analyzeable arguments. Ofc my analysis would be poor day 1, it will become more valuable later.

[Menalque]

Why does that matter?

[Farkran]

also why should you be careful abt obvious jokes if they are, idk, obvious?

It's not the joke that matters, it's people's reactions about it and what they spark later

[Menalque]

Discussing jumping questions for the board. All slots kindly answer.

1. What is your experience at Mafia
2. How do you play as town
3. How do you play as scum
4. What do you think gives away a player as scum or tow
5. Time zone/utc/typical posting hours

not that hard

also rqs bad i kinda used it in my scum game to find blue roles lol (i overanalyzed the shit out of them and missed the simplest fucking jk crumb)

1. With forum mafia, this is my third game on the site, fifth game on sites with longer days like this, something like my tenth game in general (about five are in the forums on a site not specifically for forum games/mafia, so it's a somewhat more laid-back atmosphere, although some of the people I've met there are really good players). If you count Discord mafia/social deduction games, probably my 15th game? Although I think I'm a very different person and player on Discord. I tend to impulsively spampost there, for starters. When there's a process of typing up your post in a formal white box, knowing it'll be viewable to a lot of people outside the game, I feel the need to revise my posts more-- that's admittedly just a theory, though.

2. I make long wallish posts which I've decided I'm going to try not to do quite as much, because people don't really read them. I try to stay unbiased and reasonable.

3. Terribly. A part of me is looking forward to rolling scum on here to see if I actually do better with it in a more formal setting, although I somehow doubt it. Mostly I lurk a lot.

4. I don't know if there's anything that definitively gives it away-- context is important. Interactions are something to pay attention to, though maybe they're more useful in finding TvT than in trying to determine a scum team or scum versus town. I use intent too, as in trying to think of what someone's town reasoning would be versus what their reasons for posting the same thing as scum would be. I also dabble in VCA and occasionally NKA if the night kill choice isn't who I was expecting to be night killed.

5. Central Time Zone (UTC-6, I believe?). I post at weird hours sometimes.

pedit: Goddamn, you people post a lot

[emps]

yeah posting a lot is like my thing

[Menalque]

I always read your walls, sushi

[Sushi Martyr]

I always read your walls, sushi

Maybe, but you were scum so you had a good reason to

[Menalque]

That was present tense not past tense
