Where am i not taking your posts seriously?
I can still have fun, poke fun at someone. And believe they are town.
This isn't mutually exclusive.

No, what I'm saying is is you can't try to paint me as a 'bore' or 'too serious' or whatever because we're literally all in the same boat playing a mafia game online. You're assuming my posts are representative of my personality or something where I'm just like...saying what's necessary in order to get information out of people, which is what the game is.

I said nothing about you believing anybody was town or mafia.

But some players are more serious than others. You're a living proof of that.
You can't call me scummy for noting something that's the objective truth.

I'm just like...doing stuff, looking at the information and asking questions. I don't see what about that is 'serious' to you, unless you literally just came here to play a game where people roll dice to determine who the mafia are or something?

The premise of this game is that you have discussions with people to work out what their motivations are. To use your rhetoric against you, I thought you would have seen that?

Well, did you see that i'm town?
I think you're town right now to be fair. Noting the time spent between my first and second post is the mark of a scum hunting individual, so you're either town or very skilled scum.
Your other posts trying to understand my views are also pretty good at showcasing this mindset at work.

Well, my guess at the moment is that Salsabil Faria is more likely town because I find it less likely that mafia sorta sit by the side of a conversation cheering it on like that.

The Zurel one is like...I know that when a person comes into a game and starts behaving like that, everyone else in the game will have a town read on them. The argument is always 'past experience' and I don't have enough time to like, go and research a load of games to find out whether this is true. I've never been able to see what the connection is between acting like that and being in a townsided role.

NorwegianboyEE is my preferred lynch at this moment, which is very early on in the game with little information, but I wouldn't want to actually lynch them until we have more content from other players in the game.

the most important question is that, how do they know about Zurel's role in the first place! and Zurel, please respond, I'm eagerly waiting for your say in this :]
I don't even know what kind of respond you expect from me.

I don't know how to explain this exactly, but you make the exact same fallacy here as you did with your original read on Zurel. You post-justified your read on Zurel by saying it was 'tone', then somehow failed to pick up on the 'tone' of TheDuke's post. The reason that you voted for him was that if you
ignored
all of his tone, then he could be said to have contradicted himself. But then you post-justified your read on TheDuke like ten posts later by saying it was because he voted for someone who already had a vote on them.

If I sit and pick this apart, it seems to me that you are so consistent in your inconsistency that it's just your playstyle, and I have no good reason to think you're mafia at this point.

Regarding TheDuke, it doesn't look like anybody voted for him until after he made his one post. I think it looked like a random vote -- like the rest of us made -- with some humour thrown in, rather than a reaction to anything.

Salsabil: Does the green text mean anything, or are you using it to make your posts look nice? I'm just curious.

Well essentially, you asked some questions about the game, and I guess a lot of people think that if you had received a mafia-aligned role this would have completely precluded you from being able to do this. Your slot's never getting lynched, I wouldn't worry about it.

I think it's all good if it gets people talking. Who was it that said at this stage we basically overthink everything? I get it now.

Not very much.

I have played some incarnation of Mafia before, but that was a very long time ago and it wasn't in a forum format. I know the rules of the game, but that's about it.

Because as far as you're concerned all I did was noted that some time had elapsed between two posts.

If I'd had got a town-sided role and then done this, it would just be a normal thing to do.

If I'd had got a mafia-sided role and then done this, it would make me 'very skilled'.

As if drawing a mafia role somehow has an automatic impact on how hard it is for me to like, identify things. It's so weird.
