Always is, I haven't been playing this game for 11 years because I hate it after all. I can smile sometimes!

I dunno I've only played in 2 forum games I repped in and those were shellys so idk much abt forum mafia. I guess I'll just sit here for now

Most players here are new, too, and I don't think the reason I'm voting you is too advanced. I do think voting yourself would be a bad move as town, though: mafia need to get 3 town members voted out to win, and you want to make it as hard for them as possible. Even if you wind up wrongly voted, you want to leave useful information behind you.

I've posted enough for a bit, so I'll try to back off and give some space to the players with more limited access to chime in without being overwhelmed.

Useful info as in...? My reads? Trust me, you don't want those.

Just thought it was a bit weird that they were active and were yet to vote, that's all. Pretty sure I was the third person to respond to my PM because I just logged on before I went to sleep and saw that I had a new message.

In post 63, CheekyTeeky wrote:What's bwing?

Find it kinda weird that Cheeky doesn't know what bandwagoning is when they're SE and it's a really common term but I'll let it slide.

Prism seems really aggressive but I can't tell if they're pushy mafia or just a pushy townie, so yeah.

I'll try to post at least twice a day, if not more, but this'll (probably) be my last post for now since it's 12am.

I guess that bwing is not a common Forum Mafia abbreviation, so I guess that it makes sense that CheekyTeeky didn't know it. Should I unvote so that I can be free to vote somebody else and I know that there's no more AFKs?

By the way, I think that I'll do it now and think of somebody else to vote. UNVOTE: Connordragon07

(Quick sidenote post here)
I'm coming from an experience of mostly IRL mafia.

While there, I've found it very hard for myself to add anything meaningful to a conversation. No matter my alignment, I feel like everything I say is self-incriminating.
If someone has confidence tips for helping move the game forward without feeling like a fool I would love to know.

Oh, yeah I know what bandwagoning is lol just not the shorthand for it.

To be fair, I find that since I don't have a meta yet, it is easier for me, not to get bandwagonned immediately or feel like self-incriminating myself, like I would in a site where I have an established meta and where vote counts are displayed in real time. I find that due to the timing of the vote count in Forum Mafia, I feel less pressured and less likely to say things which self-incriminate. I also find it easier that the timing of Forum Mafia lets me write more.

The more self-aware your posts come across the more likely you will be perceived as mafia. The main thing is to check that the reads coming in your way have logical intent behind them and have fun. So just say what you think without thinking about how you're perceived, you'll be suspected regardless but without people pushing each other there would be no content. You do you.

Pro tip: if you highlight the part of the post you want before quoting it will quote just that part ^.^

Is it all right if I wait until the vote count is posted before I vote?

Aight. Its d1 and im camelCasedSnivy so no way these reads are accurate but:
camelCasedSnivy: Mafia 100%
RH9: Really only talking about mechanics and not much on the actual game. Even if its d1, would say a bit sus but I did that on my first forum games
flow trap: Pretty chill, idk if that means they're town or mafia tho
Cheeky: Pretty sus
Prism: Pretty towny
DTX: Acts similarly to RH9
I have not seen anyone else speak much so those ppl have null reads

I have to say that I pretty much read everybody town so far. However, I'm not sure what makes camelCasedSnivy, CheekyTeeky, or DaTacoX, mafia. I do find it confusing why camelCasedSnivy read themselves as Mafia. I have to say that these reads might change later.

Never said DTX was mafia. Cheeky probs is mafia bc of their poe and their bw and also you really took my self suspicion seriously.

It is really hard for to tell if you're reacting strongly to pressure because you're not used to it or if you're hiding something red.

Why not question what I am doing or probe my thought process instead of just assigning scum intent to my actions?

If I'm gonna be honest, I have zero idea

Lol fair enough. Well if it helps, I'll share a little. I'm playing transparently to help you guys get where I'm coming from but this is not how I usually play so don't use this game as meta or use meta for this game. That being said no reads are set in stone this early in the game. I exaggerated the strength of my read there and in my PoE to gauge reactions and apply pressure to scum if I had indeed correctly townread 3 other players.

DTX I read as town because I don't see why scum would just accept my admission that I am town, their tone I also find quite natural, not too slimey, not too aggro.

Or two. I played the one game last year, which was plenty fun but kinda wore me out. Here's hoping it doesn't happen quite like that again

We got cool SEs, I dig))) I shall VOTE: CheekyTeeky, because it sounds a lot like cheeki breeki, and bandits are pretty suspicious, am I right?

There's plenty of room in my town basket, make yourselves at home ^.^

Flowtrap's entrance is so random that all reasons for this point to them being town.
RH9 is purely a toneread, it's possible I fell right into their pocket, but I like the playful tone. Scum tend to be serious or overly self-conscious. This is possibly the weakest townread because their experience could negate the toneread.

Now, with the bandwagoning, the more pressure you put on someone the more you can get some insight into their responses. Wagons forming rapidly in RVS are actually pretty standard here. As I said earlier, I'm not sure how to read your reaction to the extra pressure just yet.

In chat mafia, early bws are a pretty decent indicator of Mafia so sorry about that ig?

In post 97, camelCasedSnivy wrote:In chat mafia, early bws are a pretty decent indicator of Mafia so sorry about that ig?

I'd say bandwagons were a big indicator in some of my IRL games. I assume it was because there was less time to talk and the scum couldn't speak with one other. We were all pretty bad at mafia though >.<
Is that your only reason for voting Cheeky currently?

You kinda went back on your opinion of the poe here?
