If your reasonin' for voting me is that my content is "poor" then why is it that you don't jump on anyone else with
"poor" content and instead are votin' me who already has three votes on 'em.
This is a bit disingenuous. You had 2 votes on you.
The mod already said they accidentally voted and their vote wont count but they cannot remove it since there is no unvote.

Re: Fortune of Lies [Day 1]

Honestly thinking about it, it's probably not even AI if LC is Mafia.
Mac is just very confident in their read.

Re: Fortune of Lies [Day 1]

Based on how Mac has been acting so far I think it is the correct amount of arrogant confidence in his read that I would expect from his personality so I'd view it as NAI unless LC ends up being Mafia.

Alright. Idk Broski. I got vibes that they weren't even there, nothing AI.

You tho, your slot feels empty too. I'm sure mine does as well, but what makes your slot less empty than Peopan's? Just the Luck interactions?
This feels like you’re trying to defend Paopan without saying they are town but just accusing their accuser.

This type of venomous post demonstrates my point. People should know more about my alignment without me having to do anything than they know about anyone else's barring a god read, which most people simply aren't capable of even if they believe they are.
But why would anyone know anything about your alignment more than anyone else’s’. There is nothing to go off besides posts. I’m looking for people to do something that forces them into a position so that when they die we can actually use their information to connect other players. You’re just electing to not participate in the game right now.

This is my first game with Paopan and Mighty.

Ruri not outing reads or doing anything is normal and NAI for her.

Jack I've been in 2 games and he was mafia in both of them, 1 he was one of the more active players in the game, the 2nd he would go in spurts of activity then just disappear for a while.

Falcon is normally way more active.
In that case I'm not really in favor of outing Ruri for inactivity since that could very easily end in a mislynch and we'd not really get any information if they were Mafia. While inactivity isn't desirable for lategame if it's NAI for them I don't want them gone right now.
I'd assume Jack is probably just has scheduling conflicts then if its random how active they are.
I would also probably assume for now Falcon is busy or they received a role they would not be enthusiastic to play.

Yeah that's all fair tbh.

I'm assuming given the thread state that there's at least 1 mafia in those names, possibly 2?
IDK, personally I would assume inactivity would likely come from third-party in this game since we know there to be third-parties (unless that is the lie).
A Serial Killer would probably want to avoid any and all attention and I'm unsure what other possible third-parties there could be, but I would assume most want to not be noticed.

I put more stock in people who post nothing but fluff being Mafia as most players know not posting looks bad, but pretending to be active seems worse in my opinion.
That's why I put Wiggly and NAA on the list of players I would like to lynch if they continue to do nothing but post fluff

Re: Fortune of Lies [Day 1]

Alright, caught up on the last 3 pages so I'll post an updated quickreads list and a spoiler full reads for those wanting to read a little extra.

Town {Scotty, Michelle}
Slight Townlean {Marmot, Alexa}
Unsure of but not on lynch for today {LC, Mac}
Neutral {MM, Sig}
Slight scum lean {SoA, MightyQ}
Will be fine lynching if they continue to only post fluff {NAA, Wiggly, Jack}
Basically no posts to go off of {Paopan, Falcon, Ruri}
Spoiler: show
Scotty & Michelle - Both feel quite genuine in their reads and posts don't feel forced. They seem to be relaxed and just playing naturally so I'm feeling that is Town.

Marmot & Alexa - Both seem to be town by my gut, but I haven't seen quite the same tells in them as I saw in Scotty and Michelle's posts. Still leaning Town though.

LC - I was originally going to put them into the slight townlean but their latest reads posts #258 given me some pause to that thought so they are going into neutral for now. I'm not really seeing many opinions that aren't commonly held by others in their posts so I'm hesitant to call them town for now, but it isn't enough of a trend to say it is scum yet.
Mac - I've played with players who post in similar styles to Mac. While I am pretty opposed to that playstyle I've seen some pretty strong players in the past post similar to him so I'm not quick to want to lynch him today.

MM - Recent posts have been looking better in my opinion so I'm shifting them from scumlean to neutral.
Sig - Originally going into the no posts, but they have posted finally and their reads have some spicy hottakes and not just paroting other reads so I'm putting them in solid neutral for now as all I have to go on is a single reads post basically, but at leas they have something. More than could be said for others.

MightyQ - Was tempted to give them their own category of veryslight scumlean. I mostly just don't like their use of the newbie excuse to not vote and I haven't really seen too much contribution from them. I'd like to see more from them, but its a very slight scumread for now.
SoA - I still don't like his posts, they feel very off to me. They openly stated their reads are all soul which I assume to mean they just aren't bothering to put any effort into them. They were quick to talk about forming a townblock while not really standing out as the type of player to take charge and actually lead a proper townblock. He even said his vote is basically just to not get scumread so altogether it makes me suspect they are a neutral role who is very unhappy about their role as their complete lack of interest in the game is hard to justify in my mind otherwise.

There isn't much to say about the other 6. NAA continues to not really post anything but fluff, Wiggle came in posted a few memes then left, and Jack also seemed to only really have fluff in their posts.
I will make a slight note abotu Falcon though, I really dislike their entrance with declaring they are town and then just leaving without any further effort to read the thread or anything.

There's no "unvote" option.
I might be inexperienced, but I see no reason to vote day 1. No good evidence to conclude any of the scum, so I just memed
Just noticed this when going over ISOs. We don't have a choice to not lynch. It's Plurality so whoever has the most votes at the end of the day is being lynched.
If anything Not Voting is just giving the Mafia full control over the lynch since they have the benefit of knowing who they shouldn't be voting.

That being MM slightly because their vote on NAA just felt forced.
NAA because I went over their posts and I don't like that of their 26 posts, currently the 3rd highest post count, there isn't a single post actually pertaining to the game.
Last is SoA for the same reasons as NAA though to a much lesser extent. I just don't like their approach to gut reading people without ever explaining the reads given. The main reason I say to a lesser extent is because they have fewer posts and have actually given some degree of an opinion though I hope they eventually elaborate a bit.

Most other players I'm currently neutral to town leaning on. I was a tad worried of Scotty at first because it seemed to me at first they were giving off a bit of a suckup kind of vibe to get on my good side early, but their last few posts disproved that notion and I find them to be among the stronger of the townleans I currently have. I also like what I am seeing from LC, Michelle, and Alexa to the point I'm probably not going to vote them today.
Like I said, most others haven't done enough contribution either way to influence me.

Currently thinking between NAA and MM. A bit more towards MM since if they are Mafia I would put more stock into the possibility of their odd interaction with NAA as a busing attempt after they realized that saying they are town for pretty shaky reasons was sus where I find the other way around of NAA flipping Mafia being less telling of MM's role.
Please link here recent town and scum game of yours, I need to understand your playstyle
It probably wont be too helpful, I have not played as a player in almost 3 years so I don't even really know the playstyle used back then.
Latest two I could find, both were themed so I just put the equivalent role.
Town Doublevoter (eventually became a tripplevoter)
Mafia Rolecop - A note about this one, something came up near the end that caused me to need to leave so the last day or so don't actually have posts since they never filled the position before Mafia won by Town lynching each other.

I'm still catching up, but I need to go and will be back in a short bit. Just wanted to answer this.

Do you generally find this to be a scum tell?
In general I find that posting a lot of fluff and nothing of substance is scummy yes.
Mostly since it gives the appearance of being active and engaged while lending as much contribution as a lurker with 3 posts a day.
Like I said, the fact they were at the time 3rd highest in post count with effectively nothing but fluff is a red flag. When you compare them to all the other high posting players they are pretty much the only one to have not given any actual contribution so far. Although, since it is day 1 and first 12 hours it's mostly a prod of sorts to hopefully get them to start posting more than fluff.
Noted, I will refrain from further non-game related discussion.
I'm not trying to say that you cannot take about non-game topics or you are scum.
Only posting about non-game topics on the other hand is what I consider to be akin to coasting and trying to not be noticed hoping that you are active enough that people ignore you in favor of the lurkers.

Do you generally find this to be a scum tell?
In general I find that posting a lot of fluff and nothing of substance is scummy yes.
Mostly since it gives the appearance of being active and engaged while lending as much contribution as a lurker with 3 posts a day.
Like I said, the fact they were at the time 3rd highest in post count with effectively nothing but fluff is a red flag. When you compare them to all the other high posting players they are pretty much the only one to have not given any actual contribution so far. Although, since it is day 1 and first 12 hours it's mostly a prod of sorts to hopefully get them to start posting more than fluff.

The fact that michelle, Alexa, and LC are all active and contributing is enough for me to at least put them as not a priority lynch.
I prefer checking active players over passive players as investigative roles so a Mafia hiding among them is not something I am too concerned with at the moment.

As for the suckup thing it was mostly from the fact that you without hesitation imediatly jumped on my early assessment of MM's vote being forced saying you agreed with it.
Things like that tend to put me on watch for someone especially since I'm new to this site so I was keeping the possibility of you trying to win over a newbie in the back of my mind.
:ponder: You’re reminding me a lot of myself and my tendencies. I also prefer to keep talkers over non contributors or lurkers on d1.
And I’m also on watch of people that may brown nose.

I don’t know what that says about your alignment, but…it’s creepy man. Cut it out
I see, well apologizing for employing superior tactics. ;)

Re: Fortune of Lies [Day 1]

So far I just have 3 people I'm leaning on scum right now.
That being MM slightly because their vote on NAA just felt forced.
NAA because I went over their posts and I don't like that of their 26 posts, currently the 3rd highest post count, there isn't a single post actually pertaining to the game.
Last is SoA for the same reasons as NAA though to a much lesser extent. I just don't like their approach to gut reading people without ever explaining the reads given. The main reason I say to a lesser extent is because they have fewer posts and have actually given some degree of an opinion though I hope they eventually elaborate a bit.

Most other players I'm currently neutral to town leaning on. I was a tad worried of Scotty at first because it seemed to me at first they were giving off a bit of a suckup kind of vibe to get on my good side early, but their last few posts disproved that notion and I find them to be among the stronger of the townleans I currently have. I also like what I am seeing from LC, Michelle, and Alexa to the point I'm probably not going to vote them today.
Like I said, most others haven't done enough contribution either way to influence me.

Currently thinking between NAA and MM. A bit more towards MM since if they are Mafia I would put more stock into the possibility of their odd interaction with NAA as a busing attempt after they realized that saying they are town for pretty shaky reasons was sus where I find the other way around of NAA flipping Mafia being less telling of MM's role.

I'm framing this comment.

So far I'm not getting too many scumleans.
I'm going to go over some of the more active players though, but I have a question.
Does anyone know how to get a player's isolated posts on this site? I can't find any ISO integration or anything.

Well after extensive research I was correct in remembering your name, but somehow despite that we never played a game together not even host/player relationship.
As to why I'd remember your name given that, I have no idea.

It is also, I suppose, entirely possible someone else was using the name MafiaMenace or was just a very similar name.

I wouldn't put a lot of stock into putting thought into posts as being town trait. I mostly just prefer to make posts with actually content since I personally dislike reading through 7+ pages of fluff posts when I go to bed.
This is obviously my first game on this site, so I really do just want to hang back for a bit and actually get a feel for people and the community as a whole since I am not in the loop of 99% of the jokes.
The only reason I made a comment as to MM's post is because I have played with them in the past on a different site and because like I said I just felt like it was forced.
oh man
now i just feel bad
im sorry i have absolutely no recollection of you
In all fairness I do not know if I was using this name at the time.

That may be a lot, but we were told there is a minimum of 8 town meaning WCS there is 8. Technically WCS is that the 8 Town minimum was the lie, but I am going to assume that that is very very unlikely to be the lie.

aight you town.

I don’t recall…have we played a game where you were scum? For some reason I keep thinking Deck mafia you were scum when you kept posting these helpful VC time stamps
I don't remember, but I know i posted VCs as scum, so this is NAI :shrug:
This may be true, but clarifying that you do this as scum as well personally makes me lean more towards you being town.

I'm mostly looking at how people post currently to get a feel of their playstyle/personality. At this point the only thing so far that has stood out was MM's last post switching their opinion on notanaxehole's post.
I presume it to be a meme post since I find the idea that susing someone for making a comment about the moderator to be couldn't possibly be a real read, but it feels forced to me and I can't tell right now if they are actually just memeing or feeling pressured to make a contribution of some sort.
i am dead serious
Honestly the post isn't out of line with the rest of their posts so it is nothing I consider noteworthy.
