Don't feel bad Major_S.  Have you ever read the two religious flame war mafias?

XD

It's.....just hilariously unlucky for anyone that's not me.

Ok.. I read that post web posted twice and still I can't see anything suggesting "Cop looking for proof".

Not the first time.  Every time an example of a 'cop tell' is given I'm left going "what cop"?

[CobaltKobold]

If I am told there's a cop tell and had to point at a passage, the "not too strongly though".

Oh. Wait. Got it, but it's faint. Major_sephiroth is being cautious about jumping to conclusions in general...in a way that seems blended scum(caution)/town(scumhunting) tells.

Webadict, as scum, knows Major_sephiroth is NOT scum, so thinks, "Why is he cautious? Ah-ha, a role?"

But this is in 20/200 hindsight.

[ToonyMan]

You're right.  Cops won't lynch someone unless they have "proof".

[dakarian]

I do know that the doc tends to act very scummy, at least.  If you see someone that seems obviously scum, it may be the doc.

[Diakron]

i have a MAJOR scum tell, you guys just have yet to find it. i also would think i have a big town tell but its is hard to see at first...

[ToonyMan]

I know my scum tell.  I'm pretty sure most people know it.

@Diakron

We just got to the point where we can recognize your 'personality' so as to avoid autolynching.

@Toony

I'm actually beginning to deem your scum/town tells as null tells.  Once it becomes commonplace it's very easy for the person to subvert it (purposely perform the town tell when mafia). 


@Both

Generally, once the player knows their own tells, it's soon time to remove that tool when reading that person.  It means it's harder to read the person but that's how we all grow and improve as mafia players.

[ToonyMan]

I mean seriously.  If I was scum I would just post every once in a while saying, "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA" and then I would like win.

next town im town i am using this as a HUGE WIFOM

[ToonyMan]

You should avoid WIFOM when you're town.  It's not helpful.

[dakarian]

WIFOM I deem as a scumtell by design, since that's their most powerful weapon. 


self-Metatalk is not only a null tell, but I then deem all tells based on that meta that I picked up null tells.   


I tend to rely on motive analysis in the late game anyway, rather than meta/tells.

[Diakron]

whoops forgot to say /sarcasm off

[major_sephiroth]

I see how he got it, but I'm like that anyway. I don't like lynching people unless I have proof, if I'm cop or otherwise.

[ToonyMan]

No lynching day 1 isn't always the best choice though.  No lynching the first day is actually incredibly bad move to do, for town and scum. (unless one of them might get lynched)
