I'm not his speaker and I'm not interested in defending him. In a game where people are being as cryptic as possible with their reads and the reasoning behind their reads, I'd appreciate getting reads from someone who just replaced in, even if I wasn't town-reading his predecessor. So you can kindly "boot it".

okay so scummy...and something that would be much better served iso'ing the slots that placed the votes.

got it.
I must admit it to everyone, that I have told a mistruth. I have not come to save your kind from the malevolent forces of the Mafia, but to instead destroy those whom appose our might. Fear not, your death will be swift and painless as I, lord of all that is evil and dark, shall slay this town like a pig.

An Amish tell is when one player defends another by attacking that player's attacker.

Would you like to share with the class as to why this is the case?

Based on PP's recent posting, I don't find it at all compelling for them to ask me for reads when they have failed to do the same.

Based on a further full ISO on PP's prolific posting (Which should be abbreviated as 4P, or Player 4 for short) they seem alright enough. I can throw them a townbin, I hope they can catch it.

But why was his play the first real thing you felt the need to comment on? :wink:
Also, what is Not_Mafia doing? This is some of the worst play I’ve ever seen.
I will SEARCH for games with you and N_M to help you policy him.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.

I don't know. I'm not really interested in, nor have a reason in defending him. He just replaced in and assuming he's caught up tomorrow, I'd like to hear his reads.
Again, it's the fact that he felt the need to come in and immediately comment on froggo's play, it's a scum tell becuase scum's first thought is going to be how their slot is perceived, town is going to be concerned with finding scum :wink:

Amish tell is when a scum slot replaces in and starts talking about their own slot's play :twisted:
