TiruinEveryone: What is your favorite subject in Mafia? Favorite notion to talk about?
What do you not understand about Forum Mafia? What about your least favorite notion?
Lynchin' bitches I don't know really. I don't think I have a favorite subject/notion, I mostly like to see people's reactions to various stimuli, and see what adds up and what doesn't.
I think I understand Forum Mafia decently. My least favorite notion/concept in Mafia is, by far, WIFOM. It's fun thinking about how another person will react, but when it's overdone it's annoying.

Tiruin: You're scum. Your scumbuddy happened to draw some suspicion due to some of their behavior, but not enough to get lynched. Would they be any particular type of person you'd try to kill in the night at this point? Why? How would you proceed for the next day? Why?
When 'at this point' means 'Day', I presume?
Well I'd target the investigative voices-those which treat the situation with a generalist attitude. Those of probing hints or curious motive--all due because I am to either Rolecop/kill them. For the next day, I will deliberate with said buddy-point out his flaws, probably give hints on what s/he's to do in that matter, and in the next day I shall prod them on the matter--moreso because its an aid to the person regardless of their role and it helps them learn instead of going all aggressive on them.
Why? My playstyle. I side with benevolence no matter what alignment I am on.
Did you ask that question to learn more about me?
Question to everyone: What would be your preferred role? Why?
No preference. Why? Because my playstyle doesn't depend on my role--whatever ability exists in said role is but a tool I can work with-sure, my playstyle could conform to how I use said tool, but it has no direct relation to why I have this role nor on why I'd like it.
For me, the role or the wincon doesn't define the player but their [the player's] principles.
Why do you ask?
The answer to the two bolded bits are the same. I'm asking to get conversation started, basically. See if people give any sort of answer that flat out makes no sense, that sort of thing. Also in part because I like to know more about people, just as a general curiosity. You also failed to answer the first question, whether you prefer to play as town or scum.
So who would you say, so far, has a "generalist attitude"?
4maskwolfEveryone: [1] Is there a time to use the FoS, if so, when? [2] What do you believe is the difference between an FoS and a vote, beyond the obvious? [3] Do you believe that the questions asked on day one can help find scum, and why? [4] Would you rather have a power role or a vanilla role, and why?
[1] Yes, when you are indicating to someone that you are on to them, and the way that they are acting. Mostly so that they won't ignore you, but without the implications a vote has.
[2] Hmm, I kinda answered this in the first one. It doesn't have the same implications. A vote, for example, could get someone killed if the day ends before you can change it, or in games with hammers. Or, in the absence of hammers, simply enough people to be willing to shorten.
[3] Yes, I think so. I found scum in the first day of the first game I played, so if a total nooblet like me could do it, then yeah.
[4] If you asked me this when I first started, I'd have said power role, but personally, now, I think I prefer vanilla roles, because otherwise, I feel an obligation to survive. If I'm a town power role, then I feel an obligation to stay alive so they can benefit from my ability. If I were a scum power role (or really just scum in general) then I would feel an obligation to stay alive for scum's sake. So really, I prefer being a vanilla townie, because then I can just swing punches and go all out and not give a care in the world how people perceive it.
A question to
Everyone. (Making it huge since people seem to be missing these)
Would everyone please be so kind as to provide your current reads, now that we are out of RVS?
Since I'm the one asking, I'll list mine first.
Solymr - Hasn't really posted enough to give a good read. Null for now.
Graknorke - Asked some good question, gave some odd answers, at time. I'm saying he's leaning town, but still new.
4maskwolf - Been pretty active, trying to keep others active too, I like it. Leaning town.
LARD - I don't really know what to make of LARD. His general demeanor seems off. Leaning scum, but unsure.
darkpaladin109 - His answers to me have been acceptable, but not so much to others. Leaning either way, unsure. Power role, maybe?
TheDarkStar - Seems to be doing good scumhunting. Leaning town.
Persus13 - Our first IC. I'm loathe to post reads on IC's, due both to their experience, and the fact that they're here to help, so null for now.
Tiruin - Our second, and snarky IC. Same reasoning behind Persus, I'd rather list Tiruin as Null for now.
