There’s a 240% chance you just made that statistic up

I like jack’s entrance. Full of energy and gumption.

But, that is what I’d expect of someone trying to dig their way out of a 5-vote wagon. So he is distinctly neutral, maybe town lean.

Well, naw. But apparently it’ll be glaringly obvious by D3

How do you read me atm?

I dunno. But I'm assuming it is and as such I've decided whoever tells me the best police story in the next 24 hours is town forever uwu <3

Bonus points if your story makes cops look silly.

About 10 years ago I was living with these 2 other women- I had just moved in during a snowy January in NYC. To cut to the chase, we got broken into. I was watching let’s plays in my room at 4am when I heard boots running in our living room. One of my roommates woke to a drugged up dude standing over her, and i chased this mf down our 4-floor walk up with just my underwear on. Didn’t get to him. But the guy had stolen about $600 of my roommate’s bedside table. So we called the cops to report it.

Fucking clown car of cops come barreling in. Probably 6 of them in our tiny ass ny apartment. Tracked black slush all over the walls and even flung some on the ceiling somehow. Broke our door hinges with a hammer for some fucking reason. One cop started smoking in the kitchen- we asked him not to, and he rudely threw the cig in our sink disposal. Had us all take statements and get our fingerprints, then asked my roommate to come to the station, but she was too traumatized, so I begrudgingly offered.

Went to the station, and they handed me a binder of “potential suspects” to see if I could identify the perp. Not gonna lie, there were probably 100 black men and I didn’t get the greatest look at this dude so I didn’t feel remotely comfortable playing Where’s Waldo for people’s lives, so I just said I couldn’t tell. But THEN this cop says to me, “are you sure? Look again.” So I did, and he kept pointing to some dude that didn’t even have the same build as the guy in our apt, and he keeps jabbing his sausage finger at this picture, looking at me expectantly. I said no again, and the cops in the room audibly *sighed*. Said ‘well, odds are we might not find him.” They then told me to hang out in the waiting room until they were done with paperwork or whatever. Spent another 2 HOURS in there, and fell asleep. Woke up to the front desk that just arrived for her morning shift, telling me to leave.

Had to repaint the hallway from the police tracks, had to repair our front door on our own dime. Useless ordeal. Would’ve saved more money by not calling the cops.


All that being said, I’m a cuntstable

I've played some games on mafiascum and fortress of lies. The mafia scum games I believe are still ongoing due to the phase lengths.

The way mafia plays is heavily dependent on the player which is why it's difficult to ascribe legitimate towncred to things when I have no knowledge of the player this early on, and some things that may seem townie from some people are not from others. The "average" mafia player is posting to blend in and not stick out or make waves, is more cautious, and thus entrances that don't fit into this mold are not fitting of the average mafia player. However, many mafia players are not average.

This reads to me like an alien species dutifully reciting the first paragraph in a book about “The Game of Mafia”

So look, you’re obviously someone that has a strong knowledge of how the game works, and can solve methodically. As such, you’ve also said you hadn’t preplanned your first post, which I find- as the Brits say- bollocks. Could just be a playstyle thing.

But here’s a few follow up questions: you said eventually you will alignment tell. Do you usually alignment tell as your games goes on? And is that for both alignments?
And if you *know* you usually have a town or mafia flag, wouldn’t you try to…I dunno…play into that meta if you were in fact a wolf? The whole thing seems suspect to me.


I also didn’t realize you were new here- I was mistaking you for someone else. You will not be my final vote today. Tomorrow, maybe. If you don’t die in the night, of course

I'm getting some initial "decent" vibes from a couple people but at the same time it's partially a shot in the dark based on my experience and voicing them too heavily will just give mafia a free night kill - I've seen nothing in this thread that can't technically be faked even if I would give some "either towny or confident mafia" points to a couple entrances


The closest thing to something that may not be faked was Sabi's entrance, mainly because I think the way they were worried they'd be forever POE but considering how they may adjust their playstyle to a different type of setup is more likely to come from a townie mindset

I don't think I've played with anyone here before, could be wrong >.>

lol this is probably the worst entrance to the game so far.

-Getting some decent vibes from a few people, only lists sabi as not fakeable. It’s totally fakeable.

I hate Day 1 suspicions but just based on entrances, you’re my top scumread

[VOTE: obscurity] aubergine

Sure. It was an entrance that I'd easily write as mafia, though I'm not mafia. I've not alignment told yet.

Implying that you will alignment tell eventually?

I'm going to play this game differently and try a new playstyle and also readjust to havin a very small post cap (rip 500 posts D1 days).

Predicting everyone keeps me in their poe and never tr me and i will get d1ed because yall don't trust me anymore.

Anyway let's have fun

hi

How do you plan to play differently?

@Sabiplz that you ignored this post and instead chose to appear helpful explaining a closed setup in a game that has about 50 posts, I’m growing more suspicious of you.

I apologize for missing it.

I am not sure how I can explain this new play style that I haven't done before.

I just want to stop tunneling and conf biasing myself. That's the point of this shift for me.

re you the kind of person who would always answer this question when asked of you, regardless of alignment?

I don't find this AI. Why are you pressing on this?

'm not pressing?

I didn’t think your question was odd tbh

But seriously, obscurity came in saying ‘I see some town, but I don’t wanna say their names because it’ll put a target on their back my hands are tied but ok guys it’s sabi. Oh, and cape.”

Reads as TMI

No, plural is definitely penises

Penisi?

The trick is to use up most of your posts in the first half of the day so that you have no voice in the eventual votealanche at end of day!

This sounds identical to my strategy in champs except they gave me infinite posts at EoD

Well technically you can post as much as you want.

For a day.

If I’m feeling like I especially need to bark at a squirrel in a tree at end of day, I might utilize that strategy

Hiii pyxxy.

It's semi closed since we only know two mechs. We can assume it's not bastard and there's no cult element (meaning no conversion).

Just have to figure out mechs as we go along.

I'm so happy you're here

the greater good

Aaaaaanyway, I’m inclined to go along with Wilgy and Cape for reasons.

Even though Alison is leading poll for the memes, I don’t hate it. “Good evening” and “I am bored” aren’t the most thrilling takes to enter a game.
