You know it doesn’t technically count as a VC if you take the penultimate post before it right

Anyway, I should introduce myself for those who don’t know me

You see, I came here from the ToS Forum Mafia section. For about a year I played Mafia on that forum, and by the end I was without a doubt the most skilled active player there. Eventually the disparity was so vast that I had to be banned to keep things fair for the rest of the players (officially it was for abrasiveness, as many of their players suffer from SSS and my personality conflicted with that).
Anyway, I always claim day one (and yes it was serious, for those that didn't understand that), and press others for their claims. I do this for the purpose of analyzing the behavior of others to determine if they are scum or town. Already I'm picking apart your posts and those of others for a level of analysis that is probably higher than you could comprehend.

I’ll also provide some thoughts on my play and for general optimal play for you newbies amongst us
Posted: Thu Mar 05, 2020 11:34 am
I slowly become meaner the better I am, I think
one of the best things I learned was to abandon good/optimal play (and how well/poorly people are playing) and think about why the player you're looking at is acting a certain way.. spending a huge amount of time empathising with how people are posting and trying to see ways in which they could be town has been working really well for me.
I think your experience catches up to you sometimes. Since you've experienced eras in site culture where policy was considered really important, I think you have a firmer stance about "good"/optimal play than quite a lot of us. Technically that's not a negative thing. But I can see why it could get in the way of read accuracy.
Some people still freeze up and make decisions based on who played "better" (or who they'd "rather lose to"), rather than who they think is scum. It happens at nearly all levels of play, I think. I can definitely see how human nature and instinct lends itself to reading people like that.
I am half asleep here so mayyy be rambling a bit. Sorry

Spoiler:
In particular, I believe that his initial interaction was done with a good intention. I was unable to feel bias coming from text 14, directed at
Doobie
, especially due to self-confidence in the last sentence. The same sentiment is replicated in post 52. These characteristics are typical of a
town mentality

I'm starting to participate now, so I missed the random voting phase.

Why do those characteristics come from a townie mentality?

scum!72
, considering that he has no experience as scum
, most of his games are as town
- so he is expected to act more cautiously, less loose, when he witnessed his first game as scum
. Which, clearly, didn’t seem to be the case here:''
Wow, fail didnt see this post in my rush to post lol

I'm jumping on the wagon. I encourage others to do so too.

If you are scum, I have a nice and comfy appropriately sized noose

--> two mechanically proven towns.Posted: Thu Mar 05, 2020 12:39 pm
Is Menalque a proven town just because he said he was or is there more to that assumption?
Posted: Thu Mar 05, 2020 12:46 pm
Yes I am a proven town let’s just forget about that for now and not talk about it apart from to remind people that I am proven townIn post 98, Doobietime wrote:Is Menalque a proven town just because he said he was or is there more to that assumption?
