Why are you answering for mala instead of waiting for the reply?
I'm putting out a possible explanation as to why they could say that, they are of course welcome to clarify whether that is correct.
That's generally anti-town because it could give scum an excuse they didn't think of...

I mean, it seems pretty obvious no? Players can have mixed thoughts early on in a game, wherein they think someone's tone is townie but a specific action pings them as possible mafia.

This. I asked addressed that question to Mala for a reason. I wanted them to answer, I don't really care about what you think are possible reasons.

Again, appreciate the responses to the questions. I like getting to know the people I play with with whom I’m not familiar. If I was giving out prizes, it’d be a tie for 1st place between Flavor Leaf and JV for best response.

The
tone
of the post mainly. I felt like the way you were asking her to post a readslist was kinda iffy. A readslist that early is 1) not gonna do anything as far as being able to read the slot and 2) a waste of time that early. And yes I do think it could possibly be alignment indicative.

Italiano, you should know that doesn't make it wolf indicative.
Perhaps consider this motivation, which is the truth:
I want to advance the game to the fun part asap(solving)
The most effective way to get there is to take stances and note reactions to said stances.
I have not even once stated any of my reads were set in stone - in fact mala has been fairly volatile here in view.
Tl;dr forcing reads advances the gamestate and you should consider people have diffrent opinions on how to play Mafia.
I ask kindly that you leave that point alone and evaluate me based on the content of my posts rather than how you think villagers should play the game.

I already explained it creates a baseline to trace from.
Again, you and I likely see the way to solve the game in a different light. I asked for something that helps me, perhaps it doesnt help *you* but it does help me.
Talk to me about Scorpious, please.

But by the same token I can see the value in sometimes just throwing something out there to see if it sticks early on to force some interactions, so I'm not particularly reading Koopa as overly mafia right now.
Agreed that Mala's interactions feel very caged so far and the "lighten up, it's day one" type stuff feels like a major deflection which wants to make others players feel wary about going in too heavily without addressing the substance of any accusatory posts. But I also get how that frustration could be genuine, so a slot to keep an eye on for now.
My main reason why I disagree with Koopa in placing pressure on me in order to give reads is I know if I try to do a readlist it's forced upon me in order to "produce content/reads". It's very unnatural for me to post a read list this early esp on page 4 when we don't have a lot of solid content. Now if I wasn't town or if he was doing this to another player I'd maybe go for a scumbuddy coaching another scumbuddy, but he's doing it to my slot.
I'm not really deflecting. I'm trying to move the game forward, but everyone keep harping on the current subject is just giving either one of two oppurnities for scum to either "lurk" or jump in order to look like they are being productive.
Also I don't think roden is scum for what's happening right now. I think him and I are at a T v T fight.
Ahh dang it Mala. I’ve done this as scum/wolf. Townread your attacker to try and soften the attack since people live to be townread. Ugh. Tell me I’m wrong.
Anyway I gotta go. I know I missed some things, but I’ll be back later. Ciao.

I think this is good to a point because ultimately someone wants to spark some action on D1 and it's beneficial for the town to do so, but I think it has its limits in how much we can find - and more importantly if you push too hard early on it can let bullshitters in a mafia team essentially spout nonsense to look like they're actually taking stances, with the easy out later in the game that it was basically an early read and they can't be held to account for it because lots of people were making bad reads.

Granted it's early game and I'm not going to judge anyone not taking completely firm reads at this point too harshly, but do find it interesting Mala feels reluctant to particularly take on anyone at the moment. A clear reluctance which like you say could be wary mafia concerned any strong reads they make of townies will come across as fake and/or manufactured if they can't push said read properly and with good evidence.

I'm unsure what point you're trying to make here? I'm generally agreeing with the fact Mala has made a lot of deflections and somewhat confrontational posts but doesn't seem to have that many thoughts on who is mafia. But I'm additionally pointing out that doesn't automatically make them scum for me because it's reasonable for someone to struggle for concrete reads early on instead of claiming to basically have the game solved 50 posts in.

So tired of “you don’t play like me.. you’re scum”.
My playstyle changes from game to game as I will not subscribe to the alt process.
