Complaining about NM and expecting something to change is like complaining to Wells Fargo and expecting them to give your money back

In post 148, ahhlo wrote:vote: marcistar

I think Dwlee99 is mafia, but i also think that it's better not to kill him rn because he will out the other mafia in his posts.

i think he votes marcistar because he wants to look like a town later, and i think marcistar is just posting waffle posts instead of actually helping - so it really does look like their mafia. however, I don't think that Dwlee thinks marci is mafia because marci is acting like mafia, because he has not said any reason for why he voted that way. he said that no one asked, but if he was really town, he wouldn't need to be asked... town would want other pepole to know why someone must be mafia, so that otheres will vote alongside, whereas mafia voting their scum partner does not want anyone else to vote alongside them.

but okay, I will give dwlee a chance: why did you vote marci, exactly?
1. Pronoun please
2. This whole post is kinda nonsense but probably town nonsense
I prefer they, thanks :)

Kind of true. It's not like N_M is magically going to change his entrance, which I've gotten used to.

They could easily be scum honestly. Taly really should know my meta by now but let's wait and see what they have to say. Maybe they have another one of many shitty meta tells that I'll have to spend a lot of time debunking :roll: :roll: I swear most people come up with such shit meta tells on me. I just feel like Taly wouldn't because there was one game where we had a really long back and forth. It might've just mostly been Alisae but idk @_@@
You mean the student council game right
I think Alisae was the dominant head that game

In post 147, MegAzumarill wrote:The real question is if we should out jester reads or not.
I'm of the opinion to keep jester reads to ourselves because they upside of scum killing jester outweighs the downside of an elimination making the game require +1 scum dead.

But we don't want to eliminate jester so if you heavily jester read the biggest candidate for an elimination then and only then is the time to speak up
it doesn't matter, jester reads can be wrong just as often as mafia reads. it's better to out your jester read to eliminate candidates for beign mafia and make it easier to figure them out.

For example, I am pretty sure that Not_Mafia is not the jester. but, he seems like he knows how to fake it (he acts very stereotypically). Reason is simple - outing himself this early is a big commitment when he will lose if the total number of players reaches four. at best by confessing now (assuming things go as he intended), he is delaying his lynch by 1-2 days, but by the time town is actually willing to lynch him, so much more will have happened and there's no reason to think he'd get lynched in the final day when there's 3 scummy mafia around.

if I had to guess, not_mafia is either a regular townsperson, or more likely, the IC. But we'll see. I am mostly ignoring his confession, and will still vote him as much asi want.
question for you: how much mafia have you played in the past, and how have you played it?

While I do agree with this sentiment, there's not much driving the game right now and Andante isn't necessarily town just because the votes on her are lazy, so I don't see anything wrong with letting wagons happen unless you feel the need to chainsaw here.

Personally, I know this game basically just started but it feels very slow and cautious right now. I feel like I should've honed in on a scummy slot by now, but no one really stands out besides maybe Dwlee.
