Well, the first thing that caught my eye about you was your first two posts. You first said you would post after reading the thread, and only 26 minutes later you declared town reads on inHim, Sir Hoppster and myself. At that point I had to wonder what those reads were based on, I mean, I am not the fastest reader myself but I don't think anyone could read the game that quickly. Unfounded reads are a common mafia tell, just so you know, especially if they change when it seems convenient.
Later on... your apparent enthusiasm comes off as townish. In my experience, newbie mafia tend to lurk and avoid taking stances, so I'm leaning that you're town.
I would still like to know the reasoning behind your reads though.
Having few votes is fairly typical to my play. I think I have given reads, but they're scattered in my posts, so I should gather them in one place for my benefit as much as yours.
Town
Sir Hoppster
-
I find it very rare for mafia to push for a mislynch so boldly as he did, and as he has not displayed such boldness before, his play seems like tunnelling town to me. I might believe he could do it to save a partner, but since he kept pressure on Twistedspoon consistently while other suspects came and went, that possibility is rules out.
I wrote this before reading the last page, and this argument melted into WIFOM stew with Hoppster's final post. I'll have to rethink this, and probably check out his play in Candy Zoo in more detail.
AurorusVox/kpaca
- I had a good feeling about kpaca after his altercation with Twistedspoon, and I was pleased about AurorusVox as he entered the proceedings. He is tunnelling to be sure, but that is something town does when they believe they've caught a scoundrel, and he has given his reasons why he believes so. I believe he is town, and probably wrong.
jilynne1991/DemonHybrid/GMan
- The attendance record of this slot is quite horrid, and since I can barely recall anything of note from either of the gentlemen replaced by jilynne, my read is based solely on her exuberance, as I said above.
lord_hur/Caboose
- As above, I never had much of a read on Caboose, so this read is based on Lord Hur and his response to pressure from AurorusVox. He made his defense, and moved on with his hunt for suspects, like town is supposed to. I especially like the way he handled imaginality - that was an opportunity to deflect served on a silver platter, and he turned it down. I believe mafia would've leapt at the chance, unless of course bussing was involved.
Uncertain
inHimshallibe
- Townish side of null, but I don't recall seeing anything that would go further to convince me of his good intentions. He did not participate in the death of Twistedspoon and made an effort to evict kr0b instead, and I do agree with these actions of his.
vezokpiraka
- His joking approach to the game seemed carefree and townish, and I find it unlikely mafia would willingly draw attention to themselves like that. But apart from that, I've yet to see anything of significance arise from his play, leaving him as town-flavoured null.
Reya Cookiebringer/Apokalyptika
- I have no read on this slot at this time, what with posts having been so scarce. I intend to read their posts in isolation when I have a moment of time for it, to see if there was anything I missed or forgot since the first time.
Suspicious
ToastyToast/kr0b
- Solely because of kr0b, my read of ToastyToast is rather more neutral.
imaginality
- Very low presence, and his one action that stands out is his hammer of Twistedspoon.
I indeed live in Finland. I wonder what you mean by meta in this instance? There was a time once when I used my location as part of my defense, when I decided to go to sleep instead of doing yet another ISO read, but that was the only time I remember mentioning my location in a game. Not that this matters, just curious.
