Observations:

People who are really playing oddly to my sense:

Mater - What is this.
Juicebox - Very little play and interest + what is this.
Anime - exists, no involvement.
Olivers - exists, weird, 1 post of 'involvement'
Wolfkey - exists, no involvement

People who are playing about how I'd expect:

Tricmagic - Yep, that's TM.
Max - Yep, that's MS.
???Fallacy - yes/no here, but playing realistically in general, if more 'normally' than Fal usually plays.
CrystalizedMire - Yep, that's CM
4maskwolf - newish to me (been a decade) but normal-like play.
Vermilion - very little posting but following game somehow and reasonable reads and part of me said 'Cool, he's cool'

Imp: I believe you just broke the 25-post-per-day limit (not to be confused with the 50-post-per-Day-Phase limit). I recognize that the former is a bit annoying to track without Mamobo, so I won't be enforcing it too strictly, but please try not to do it again.

@Imp Love the Haruhi reference.
I'm just town, though. You're making this so much more complicated than it actually is. I'm playing in a way that you feel is odd. This doesn't mean that my alignment is odd. It just means that you don't know how to read me. I'll probably post some more substantial reasons for my reads by EOD, when the time comes to actually push someone into a noose. But you should really stop accusing me of playing mind games, word games, anti-town behaviour, and the like, when you yourself have not posted a single clear read since the beginning of the game. I have made my own reads known and very clear (for the most part). Just understand that this is how I play as town, I throw out reads to see if anyone else picks up what I throw down. I'm used to playing in an environment where the other players also make some sort of attempt to read everyone else in the game and make a decision one way or the other. Unfortunately, it seems that I'd have an easier time pulling blood from a stone than pulling any sort of opinions from my town reads, so I'm finding it impossible to work with anyone. This is getting a little ranty but essentially what I'm trying to say is that perhaps my play would look a little less odd if there were at least one other townie in this game who didn't break into a coughing fit when asked what their scumreads are. Looking at Imp and Vermilion here. Please just anything other than a ridiculous scumread on me for not liking the way I'm playing.

Crystalizedmire, if you had a kill, would you use it on me or Fallacy? And can you please explain your choice?
Fallacy is always a little suspicious to me regardless of alignment so Im not really sure about their alignment. I also want to be more lenient with them. So if I had a kill, I would kill you.

Not quite the reasoning I was expecting but still a decent answer.
More questions about this.
What were you expecting?
Why did you choose the players you chose? (CM, FoU, yourself)
Given that Crystalizedmire had no reads on FoU or yourself, what would have constituted an unsatisfactory answer?

AP and Vermillion: What are your current reads?
I believe you should be able to see my reads right above your post, CM.
Speaking of, you're the person I forgot.
CM seems fairly content to lie low this game, but has more information out there than half of the people here. Unsure, but leaning townie currently.
I read the readlist, and thought someone else wrote it. I hadnt had the time to post since im vacationing in a different timezone than to what im used to.
And also because a lot of things im about to say is already said.

Magma mater: You want me to shut up because you think Im scum but you cant build a proper case against me because I dont post a lot. What do you want me to do? Wanting scum to shut up is worse for town imo since you cant investigate who their partner is. For the record, im town and youre being evasive with questions.

I could see Fallacy and Imp being teamed. Maximum spin and Fallacy too. My reasoning is that chats are closed during daytime and they need to communicate with eachother inthread.

Examples of this communication?
So much for being lenient on Fallacy this game.

Fallacy, the fascinating part about your connection to fear is the way it animates you ... and so on, cause from a philosophical/psychological standpoint the value and necessity of fear is up to discussion. Does it animate, or does it freeze. Is it awakening Your Fight, Your Flight, or something else entirely?
And also, yeah im planning on choosing my vote on the person i believe is most likely to be a member of an anti-town faction. Preferably something like wolf/scum/mafia, but in the heat of the battle a 3p will manage aswell ;)
Also, i hope the craziness will allow to think outside the box and achieve unexpected success =)

Hey Magma, surely I will post more =) Also, why did You see enough content from "VermillionSkies"? While i agree that the others were quite talky (which is good in all relations), i can not see that in regards to the slot mentioned. Enlighten me o.o (also i write these posts while i am reading up, your tr on Vermillion raised quite some activity there O.O )

While i can't gauge the rightness of the Webaddict impression of Fallacy by Max, it certainly is funny xD Haha
Regarding Max's hinted action: I am in favor of it for multiple reasons:
- If we play good we win a lot from it - so far i see town in a very solvy and talkative environment, so we will surely profit a LOT from it
- Max's probably wants do use his role sometime earlirr or later atleast once (even tho i suspect it is a one time action). If (if!) we mess that up, we will have more time recovering from it in the upcoming phases. However if it happens later down the river of time, perhaps we will lose or not manage to catch ourself.
- I trust Elephant Parade to be a person who will make a good and nice and funny role - additionaly, a role that is fair and nice to play with for everyone -> so i doubt it will be something too catastrophical or mind blowing =)
Lets risk it!
Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Oh and Imp, what did you mean with
Observations:
[...]
Olivers - exists, weird, 1 post of 'involvement'
[...]
While yes, i exist and yes, i before this have 1 post, ... i am weird? Weird? the only guy from the "oddly players" List who is also "weird" ??  :'( :'( :'(

Also, how are the day/night phases here? Somewhere i read 12/12, but thats probably the players alive  8)
Dont want to accidentally break the silence of the night some day ( or rather some night :p ) (Addition: I found a votecount, d1 ends tuesday 7pm est, quite some time we got)
Also also, as mentioned before, when you seem the most active i sleep  :) as to why i only posted once so far ;)
Also also also , what is a "pod" person
Also also also also, i think the additions of also's seems kinda ... strange. Picked it up on some place, decided to try it out... its kinda weird ngl
Also (5): somebody posted a yt video of a person in an anjme called "L" being a Liar/Monster - Man that edit went hard ngl |-O
Also (6) If Magmas secret scumread is what i think it is, i like it =)

P.S.: If you have any questions feel free to ask me ;) Also no also's xD

On page 8 right now, in response to Magma's 'readlist' Crystal made a total of two posts. Mostly in saying they'd kill Juice if they got a kill. Not the most townie thing to say, but eh. 2 posts at start of game does not a scumread make. Following it up by telling them to shut up so I can mislynch you isn't a good thing, especially when they wouldn't think you were talking about them.. It - that post existed to cause paranoia and nothing else.

FallacyofUrist, you're still doing the thing...
fallacy is town though

Dead gods, I forgot to close Imp's quote box. Ugh.

Magma Mater. Share who you believe outed themselves as scum, and why, and I'll unvote.
See the problem is that I have to wait for them to post more, so that I can come up with reasons that sound legitimate and reasonable to everyone else. If I post my actual reasons, you'll neither believe me nor follow my logic. So it's both counter-productive and anti-town for me to share my reasons with you.
Instead of voting for town with the petty indignance of a thousand housecats, you might discover that reading the thread and finding scum is a better use of your time. Despite what you say, juicebox does have enough posts for you to form a scumread on him, assuming you put your thinking cap on before reading them.

So you're saying you think I'm scum? Why? If you do think I'm scum and want me to talk more, why not interact with me so that I can say more potentially incriminating things?
You say this while continuing to ignore the question I've asked you twice. Third time's the charm?
Glass stones can still break a glass house.

Eh I don't really see how this is that much better than RVS tbh

Also, I don't know whether I should be taking your assessment as a compliment or as an insult, so I'll just ignore it for now.

Anyway, Tric are you an SK this game?

Crystalizedmire, if you had a kill, would you use it on me or Fallacy? And can you please explain your choice?

4mask Welcome back! How difficult do you think it's going to be to get back into the swing of things after your hiatus? Do you think you'll be able to pull out any crazy gambits this game

Magma Mater, Oliverz144, VermilionSkies, Wolfkey, I have the same question for all of you. Since I've never played with any of you before I'd like for you to tell me what your mafia playstyle is like.
You're not building any confidence here when your first suspicion was never shared. I'm not sure anyone sees what you see, and that's never a good position to be in when trying to convince people.

sigh. Got something that's come up. gtg.

In the post after this one they bring up you might be a survivor, but I don't beleive that's true. After all it's possible for third party to have the win condition of killing another player. Therefore you want to direct the vote or kill to that player, but don't want to outright state it. Your win condition could be fulfilled by day one, killing a potential town while you leave entirely. What say you to this theory Magma Mater?

Uuuuuuuuuuuurgh.

Magma talks almost exactly like one of the players I least enjoyed playing with on this site.

I really hope those accounts weren't alts of his because otherwise this game is going to be a miserable ego fest.

I could see Fallacy and Imp being teamed. Maximum spin and Fallacy too. My reasoning is that chats are closed during daytime and they need to communicate with eachother inthread.

Quick post because I'm about to head to work. Can you point me to where in the rules it says the chats are closed during daytime? I may have missed it. Thanks.

FoU has some twisted role ideas. Screw second-guessing this mechanical garbage spaghetti, I'm basing everything on reads and visible daytime behaviour.

Would you like to play a game of Mafia? The subforum is always open to new players.

The rules say, buried in the text, “no posting in chats you are in during daytime unless specified otherwise” and the default mafia role PM lists wolf chat as “night only”

I missed the 50 post limit too. Given Imp has used most of theirs, is Magma trying to get us to waste them all? Tells us town to post more, tells scum to shut up.  Well if that's how it goes maybe we should just Shorten the Day, preferably with them gone if they aren't willing to play.
