Eh not as strong a read as Kappa but it's what I see aorn
so how am i "acting like i'm trying to solve the game when i'm not"?
Also how is being serious a bad thing?

In post 115, Phi Kappa Phi wrote:Much better
This is your reaction after getting scum-read? No "why?" or any defense? :shifty:
They explained why, and I don't think I did anything I particularly need to defend. It's more of a "I don't like the vibe of your post" read anyway so there's not much to argue about.

If you're confused by my "Much better" reaction, I made that initial post that Jackson called out because I was bored and hoping the game would transition past this sluggish beginning phase. And it seemed to be on its way to doing that as of Jackson's vote and allegation :)

I'm inclined to townread Jackson because of the speed of their reaction to what I said. While it's not something an experienced player couldn't do, I remember being a little taken aback by posting something and instantaneously seeing "I don't like this and I scumread you for it". I'd kind of expect for a scum player to have to pause for a second and consider whether or not to go into attack mode, so the quickness of their callout makes me think their emotional reaction to my post was genuine

You on the other hand have basically only been posting one liners, many of which are either bizarre or have nothing to do with solving the game. This is kind of suspicious.

I agree with these
There's no point in forcing everyone to cast a vote, especially this early in the game.
Also it's especially not good to vote for people who probably haven't even looked at the thread yet
It's much better to wait till they actually post something before voting them
This feels like a contradiction. You are saying pushing for people to vote is a bad idea.
JV votes PKP and we get a very non-chalant response from PKP at being voted. This prompts you to scumread/at least question PKP's response.

So basically JVs vote has stimulated discussion and a potential scum read on PKP and yet you are saying pushing others to bote is bad?

Votes are good because they stimulate discussion and force players to take a stance, rather than sit on the fence, which favours scum, as scum can then just come up with a fake 'scum read' late in the day to lynch a townie.

I wasn't scumreading PKP; I just thought it was weird how he says "much better" when he got scumread.

Also voting isn't bad, but when there's not a lot of reasons to vote for someone, I don't think people should be pushed to vote. Also, voting for someone who hasn't showed up yet isn't a good idea. I especially don't think it's good to put that person at L-1 this early in the game.

In addition, people can still discuss and take a stance without casting a vote till later.

It just seems forced, as if you see that the post is scummy and it's worded as if you're trying to distance it's just seemingly forced.

You make this post, which seems out of the blue.

You also say that you scumread me, yet you only provide reasoning for your statement afterwards:

Maduisha asked you to do so.

Wouldn't it make more sense to attach your reasons for scumreading someone in the post where you said you said you were scumreading him?
In other words, if you say "I scumread player X", wouldn't it make more sense to put your reasoning in the same post, than to wait for people to ask you why and then post your reasons?

I unconsciously confirmed the game, and forgot that it existed. At least, until the prod notifies me. That said, I would like to share some initial reads and impressions I had from these first pages, with individual emphasis on each player:

I made a comparison with three other games, which he was
town
. I noticed that his pattern consists of a game start characterized by an expressive claim or announcement, marked by the use of wifom as a tool of persuasion to, at the same time that he is attracting attention, repelling suspicions due to the strong image of exalted self-confidence. Posts , , show concern to help inexperienced players, being in coherence with the
SE
position established in post . Assimilation to past experiences in posts , , and demonstrate transparency in relation to the opinions formed, indicating progressive reasoning in order to develop the game forward, strengthened by the suggestion in post . In general, there is no bias in his lines, and his actions are motivated to progress in the team-game proactively. This is enough to consider him as
lock-town
, under the condition of
BoP
depending on how the first day and second day occur. If he is not killed within two days, however, I will regard his presence in the game as
suspicious
, unless there is a
PR
that has rescue (
Doctor
) helping him.

I made a comparison with 5 past games, 3 as
town
and 2 as
scum
. Chronologically, I can see that from the
1968
game, the expression
'' howdy ''
was created, which was repeated in the
1982
game, in an attempt to establish a meta favorable to their read as town. However, later, it was also applied in bad faith in both
1974
and
1976
games (
scums
), mischaracterizing the expression's link with their alignment, and making it a null standard. While reading both scum games, especially
1974
(which has more content), I noticed that their behavior is much more centered and neutral, with semi-premeditated lines and placements, as they maintain their posture and education. Something that is opposite to the extroverted and more incisive stance seen in the three games as
town
, where the "fear" is much less, with bolder premises and sporadically genuine acts. In this game, precisely in the posts post and , I notice, respectively, a very premature consideration, without the development of a justification (guts), and a spontaneously early reaction, with no previous communication channel. Both examples seem to agree with their
town
pattern, as well as the suggestively emotional error (rush / lack of attention) in the transition between posts and , and in the
SR
statement in post , which was done without structuring of a table of previous reads (something I noted in their
scum
pattern).

I had a hard time finding any
scum
games from him, given the favorable statistical chance for the
green
line-up. Therefore, I drew a comparison with 5 games of his past games (
town
). His pattern is based on a structure of simple intuitive phrases and vague actions, with more than one interpretation. I noticed that he is usually lynched a lot in games as
town
, due to the lynch policy. The style is identical to what he is following in this game (as in any game, regardless of alignment). It is strongly probable that, if he is not eliminated by lynch, he will last until the end of the game, precisely because he is not an expressive vocal antagonist, therefore, he is not a threat to the
scum
side. Particularly, I am indifferent to his position now, considering the lack of accuracy in my read about players who share that kind of trait.

No past content. His entry into the game was strange, I don't know exactly how to classify who he was referring to, or if it was a metaphor. The following post does not seem to be a genuine engagement, considering the neutrality in just citing the act, but not trying to imply any more. I believe that a more questioning posture would show the real disagreement with the reaction mentioned. More neutrality in post , hesitate to engage effectively.

Hum. I appreciate the interaction, although I don't have an information base to judge the extent of what '' wifom '' represents to him. Even so, in a newbie scenario, many would avoid making a comment that reflects their real alignment. In a way, he felt comfortable saying that. Peaceful mindset = tranquility = green alignment? I'll check this out later.

I agree with these
There's no point in forcing everyone to cast a vote, especially this early in the game.
Also it's especially not good to vote for people who probably haven't even looked at the thread yet
It's much better to wait till they actually post something before voting them
This comment moves away from the generic sphere of neutrality, considering the development that is applied here during the reasoning process.
In post 136, GeneralWu wrote:
This feels like a contradiction. You are saying pushing for people to vote is a bad idea.
JV votes PKP and we get a very non-chalant response from PKP at being voted. This prompts you to scumread/at least question PKP's response.

So basically JVs vote has stimulated discussion and a potential scum read on PKP and yet you are saying pushing others to bote is bad?

Votes are good because they stimulate discussion and force players to take a stance, rather than sit on the fence, which favours scum, as scum can then just come up with a fake 'scum read' late in the day to lynch a townie.

Im on board the GW lynch train.
Jump aboard people, plenty of room on the wagon.
Choo choo
I wasn't scumreading PKP; I just thought it was weird how he says "much better" when he got scumread.

Also voting isn't bad, but when there's not a lot of reasons to vote for someone, I don't think people should be pushed to vote. Also, voting for someone who hasn't showed up yet isn't a good idea. I especially don't think it's good to put that person at L-1 this early in the game.

In addition, people can still discuss and take a stance without casting a vote till later.
He reinforced the idea and maintained the initial instance. This shows persistence in his own opinion, so he unconsciously believes what he is saying. It is difficult for a newbie liar to emulate this.

This comment seemed superficial due to the lack of expression in the development of the memory. If, when he plays scum, in theory, refers to a different emotional charge, it would be expected a better development of that.

Naturally, people cast their votes when they want to press a point, or are convinced that an individual is scum. The way it was encouraged here discredits those who are still thinking about how to distribute the vote.
In post 128, Phi Kappa Phi wrote:I'm inclined to townread Jackson because of the speed of their reaction to what I said. While it's not something an experienced player couldn't do, I remember being a little taken aback by posting something and instantaneously seeing "I don't like this and I scumread you for it". I'd kind of expect for a scum player to have to pause for a second and consider whether or not to go into attack mode, so the quickness of their callout makes me think their emotional reaction to my post was genuine
It felt like an attempt to be buddy here. This would be better justified if he has a meta around the actions of the person he is quoting.

They explained why, and I don't think I did anything I particularly need to defend. It's more of a "I don't like the vibe of your post" read anyway so there's not much to argue about.

If you're confused by my "Much better" reaction, I made that initial post that Jackson called out because I was bored and hoping the game would transition past this sluggish beginning phase. And it seemed to be on its way to doing that as of Jackson's vote and allegation :)
Ignoring possible SRs is not interesting if you are town. It would be different, of course, if he prioritized scumhunting and ignored who is seeing him as scum, but basically, he conformed to the accusation.

Hey, it's the name of a fruit where I come from. But I agree that people that name themselves after fruit are suspicious, can't blame you.

I haven't played enough to have a clear preference of alignment, but for now I think town is what I like best.

Also, tomatoes are tasty.
The use of "I think" in this context was strange. This "thinking" seems a lot about something she likes, but it didn't happen. The random comment at the end seems more to relieve tension than a joke.

She only pointed this out after other people's concerns about the votes were expressed. It was not genuine.

The pattern is basically the same, but something seems strange. Interestingly, the first game has a
centralized vote
, the second is at
the end
and the third, which is in our game, the vote is at the
beginning
of the post. I am not sure how to interpret this message, considering that it is only observed if the three games are compared. Unfortunately, I don't have a
scum
game of him to make the comparison, just the two
town
games. When analyzing these games tentatively, I noticed that the experience of this player is illusory to be measured if we consider only the date of entry in the forum. There is something else, which is characterized by the charisma with which he structures his sentences and shapes his line of reasoning. The questioning is typical and compatible with posts , , and (as examples). However, his lack of past scum content, ignites a temporary '' alert '' for his next actions. I don't intend to put
BoP
on him, but I believe that he, eventually, should also be killed within 2 or 3 days. If that doesn't happen (and if I'm still in the game), the same suspect condition that I suggested in the case of
O.S
, will apply to him.

I prefer to play as town. I enjoy solving/deducing who is who in the zoo. I find being mafia can be stressful.
Now, answering this: I have more experience with face-to-face games, without the aid of a virtual platform. Evidently, as it is difficult to have to physically move to the locations of the games, I conditioned myself to play on some sites, such as epicmafia and this one now. I have been through Mindnight (steam) too. Particularly, I prefer real games, where I can see the players' faces. It is easier to detect lies, bluffs, among other reactions (in addition to being significantly more dynamic). I appreciate both alignments, but I try more expressively as town considering that deductive work ends up being more challenging.
