(yes, this is a very clever reference to the theme of this game and what basically the mod is trying to say)



The problem seems to be, that it's not the people who already checked the thread, and therefore had seen this inconspicuous mod prod, that are idle. :dead:

i liked his starting post (), it didn't seem nervous at all, i expect scum to be a bit nervous.
then i liked alot actually, which is what stuck "cape90 = town" in my head originally. the taking the "locktown" as a townread on meg azurmarill at face value, while some people might think not understanding a joke = scummy, i don't think that would be the case here. gives good vibes following that. i think hes not thinking too deeply into stuff, while scum would think deeply and be like "what if i say something weird aaaa i need to understand this aaa" and would analyze it more before posting. i also like how it seems like hes poking at things.
I think you are looking too deep into me. If I was scum why would I be nervous in the literal first page of the game?

idk cape90s experience but just in general,
scum are usually worried about their appearances, so i feel like they would be cautious when entering the thread, and a bit nervous abt making the wrong comment. early on people latch onto like anything, so making the wrong comment will be deadly :cool:

This is a very serious scumread.
locktown tbh
dropping townreads this early, marci>?? must mean you're trying to pocket (either me or azumarill, i'm not even sure who you're calling locktown) :mad:
very suspicious behaviour :nerd:
Usually this behavior is completely NAI and I would argue mostly just comes from town. I dunno what is up with the townread this early either + dunno why you would assume they were pocketing you.
This was a joke and not a legitimate comment about Marci’s alignment, but Idm you looking into it, that’s the point of it anyways, now discussion’s been fuelled a bit more :cool:

Also I mentioned my own name as someone she might be pocketing because I didn’t lnow if she was calling me or Azumarill locktown, I was saying she’s pocketing whoever that is

The bolded part feels odd tbh, why are you suddenly so defensive the second someone makes a negative comment about a read you’re making? Nothing was said about scumreading you, drawing that line yourself reeks of paranoia :eek:

to me, "not a real read" is something a scum player would do, so im trying to see if he draws that same conclusion...?
what makes it seem defensive..? it was just a casual comment inviting scumreads on me with open arms

The invitation just feels like fake confidence and like I said, they never said they scumread you, so it came out of nowhere. I can easily see scum make that post in an attempt to posture as a confident townie willing to die, yknow? I think you have a fair point with the not a real read stuff, it’s too early to be shutting things down like that, we have barely anything to go off of, any hunch is a valid read at this point of the game :cool: unless he was saying not real as in he thinks you’re being disingenuous? Which would be fine to put out there and push on

1. I see what you are getting at with the whole scum are cautious thing. I feel like, more of a kinda tell I look for is consistency or even the lack there of, I feel like either are usually town indicative, meanwhile, if it more mixed, then I kinda find that sort of thing a scumtell.

2. Fair enough on the deep point.

3. I don't scumread you for what I said. It just seems like a very strange meta observation to make on such a simple post. I have the feeling you are town, on your elaboration post about me, I have a hard time thinking that mafia would make a such in depth elaboration on why they think I am town soooo early on I would expect if mafia were to do something like this, it would be later in the game, also I feel like you are actively progressing conversation which is also a big plus.

I have played Forum Mafia before, this isn't my first exposure to it, sort of relatively newish since summer though

To clarify my whole stance on the read not being "real" it isn't that I feel like the read is disingenuous, it is just a read that feels like it shouldn't actually mean anything, if that makes sense.

As a general rule of thumb you shouldn't openly discredit reads like this unless grounded in bad logic, not just that you disagree.
All it does is hamper town. Each person can decide for themself if they think the point is valid.


No use discussing reads not grounded in evidence though they can be useful.

Seems like we've escaped the random voting scene so I need to take a few moments to digest the scene which I haven't had enough time to do properly yet.

Man I feel old when new terms come into play that are new to me... when did "locktown" become a thing... haha

Anyhow, I'd love to get a feel for the experience of our newer players if you'd like to intro that a bit for those of you who haven't, that would be great.

Sure! This is my fifth game onsite, all of which have been in the newbie queue (gonna be graduating from being a newbie after this :()
I have a bit of experience with online mafia outside of here (been playing for almost a 2 years now i think?) although all of it in a much shorter format (24h/24h day/night cycles typically, some even 12h/12h, longest format I've played outside of MS was 72h/24h), haven't played at all in several months though and generally not much in the past year with newbie 2063 being my latest actual game. :cool:

I'd rather pressure someone who hasn't said a word yet, infighting amongst the active players would just reward not being present and allow potential scum to hide out in inactivity, so my vote stays where it is
