While yeah, im missing most of the picture, if i consider your current posts scummy im going to dig deeper into your thoughts, to try to either solidify that scumread or to see if im wrong and you're actually town, you don't seem to be helping much in that regard. There's something wrong in your thought process. You say you dont have a clear scumread on me, and you're voting me out of entirely RVS reasons. That is valid but... are you just going to sit there looking at the sky with your vote parked until every single person decides to do something Non-RVS-like? Like... you don't even seem to try to sort me out, you ask questions that seem like they might be trying to sort what im dong, yet you're drawing no conclusion from them.

Yeah, i know you probably wouldn't know how to make that assumption in the game, but the way you're drawing the conclusion comes from no more than an OMGUS. "Mommy, mommy they are voting me they must be bad people!", i would assume if you're voting me, for RVS or otherwise you intend to interact with me, and strengthen or cancel your scumread, but i still DONT see you doing anything of the sort with any of the things you're asking me. You haven't even tried to figure out a scum motivation for what i'm doing, you're just sitting there doing nothing while im here, and around, and open to answer questions and interact. You don't seem to be interested in actually sorting people, just because some people are missing doesn't mean you can't interact with someone and find their alignment.

Disclaimer: However that's more over my playstyle since i get reads from interaction much more than just reading what people do, while is a starting point, i usually get stronger reads from interaction, and while this is my playstyle, it may not be something you're used to, but i still see you... doing... NOTHING, with the questions you're asking.

Yes, I made an OMGUS vote, then you turned around and OMGUS'd Drezi too, with again as mentioned before an uncommital read. Your vote doesnt scare me, i'm just wondering why the fuck you're doing nothing with it, because my view of a town person would be trying to decipher is if im town or not, not just sit there and do nothing and hope the world falls on me.

Since you bring up Navizel, one thing i've noticed is that he's... playing differently from what I remember, Instead of resorting to one-liners he seems to be actually trying to express his thoughts. This is entirely different from what I remember from either alignment of Navizel and im just thinking it might be an improvement in playstyle.
The "Yeah I agree" comes backed up, so i didnt pay it much mind, do you disagree? if so why?.

The SNB thing was just an example of how you can generate discussion even from the 2nd post of the thread u.u

Yeah i agree it was probably pure randomness, and i've already stated as such and why, so why did you feel the need to mention it again?

And me trying to figure out whether you're town or not involves me leaving that vote there for the moment. Because as I've said that's the best place it can be at the moment, while the other 4 people say something.

Oh, so now agreeing to everything other person says and playing passively (i.e. following other players ideas and being reactive just like I was) is an improvement on playstyle? Are you serious? I remember doing the same (with the "backed up" part) and ended up accused for parroting. Silly that you find there's nothing wrong with that.

Okay e.e

I brought Drezi again because I was mentioning every player that has posted so far. Nothing more to say.

It's still kinda early to call something like that parroting, besides he directly quoted my post and said that it was his thoughts exactly, parroting is different, unless you think you shouldn't agree with what other player says?
Parroting is when you contribute nothing to the thread other than what's already been said by someone else, but in this case, do you think there was something else he could've contributed to it? OH SUPRISE! he did, he talked about Jess, so no, it's not parroting, he agrees with my stance re-you.

So basically trying to figure out whether im town or not involves voting me... and... doing nothing else? or did you expect to magically divine your alignment like a day cop when other people started posting.

My thoughts exactly.
I don't know about SNB. I searched his past game and I found Medical Mafia. The first was an RV on Sonatora and SNB voted him too though there were others before his vote so I can't really refer to that. I'm just going to say his vote here is really just an RV.

Do you think there might be any compelling and alignment indicative reason for Jess not posting here?
If it's an irrelevant line, in addition to your assesment of Navi's "parroting" what does that tell you about his alignment?

Ok maybe im just kinda mad that no one's doing anything after a few hours of no one being around at all u.u

Sakura wrote:

Yeah, I just checked and her last post was somewhere around 2 hours ago.
It doesnt show that she's currently online tho.

Possible Reasons:
- She had limited time so decided to just post something in a forum game rather than an RV here.
- She's scum avoiding the thread <- Very unlikely imo, what motivation would there be for a scum to avoid the thread at this point, besides any newb scum would've beetlejuiced by now.
- ? Can't think of others.

Sakura wrote:

That's also possible, if you look at her post history, she was actively posting at 10 hours ago, which is also when she confirmed, then just made a short post saying aru~ in a random forum game, and she's no longer online. So it's quite likely she didn't want to bother or didn't even check the mafia forum. Forgot about that.

Unvote
Vote: Navizel
1) Why did you think it was relevant to say that Jess was posting in forum games, but not here? Do you think she's purposefully dodging the thread when the day only started a few hours ago?
2) If you agree with my stance re-zexion what do you think of his later posting and his explanation of his uncommital scumteam post? We've been discussing for a while, if you agree with me, you certainly have something to comment in everything that's been said, yet you didn't say anything.

Because I wouldn't know how to make that assumption this early in the game? You surely don't believe I can make that claim seriously only because two people are voting for me?

Sakura wrote:

Yeah i was thinking about that earlier, but thing is the way he put me as town before I even posted felt like some sort of early buddying so when he would flip scum people would trace back their posts and look at that then try to tie me up with him. Although i dont remember much of Drezi scum, and even if he was scum, I highly doubt he would go through such a coordinate pre-game plan of suiciding to take me down with him.
So in other words, i hardly feel that scum would've come up with such a risky tactic, and it's more than likely just town trying to get reactions out of RVS. And even in the low chance that he was scum, i doubt he'd be scum together with Zexion, so there's another point in favor towards voting Zexion.

Sakura wrote:

Also, you misread it, i didnt say you'd give me towncred, i said the entirely opposite, you saying i was town before i even posted, if you flipped scum would cause me to get mislynched, but as i said before, that'd be too risky of a move and it'd involve you sacrificing yourself.

Also about the "scumslip"... that doesn't seem like definitve proof. As a non-native english speaker, that sentence would have made perfect sense in my language.

In German, "If you are a scum" means "Wenn du ein Scum(Abschaum) bist". Translating "Wenn" to "When" is a common mistake (even though it's a bit embarrassing for me to make such a mistake). This might sound like a bad excusion therefor, but that's how it happened.

sLaiNi wrote:

Ahh, you posted while I was writing the post above @Zexion.


First, thanks for the nice welcoming. I already took a quick look at the wiki, but I am definitly reading a lot more there after you suggestion.

Yesterday, when I was browsing through the Osu-Forums, I found the Mafia section. After reading some in it, I noticed that it reminded me of a game my "religious education" - teacher used to play with us for one or two times, named "Die Werwölfe von Düsterwald" which is also about some people being werewolf and knowing each other and being able to kill the villagers in the night while these vote for a execution on days end.

That's what made me really interested in trying this out. And even though I seem to be terrible and I barely know how to contribute to the discussion, it's a lot of fun for me.

What if some of us haven't picked up on anything. Not saying that I haven't, but as it is a "newbie game", I will abstain from pressuring as long as everyone can evaluate properly what they are saying. So let people vote as they would like. People are not scumslipping, people are just being very clueless when they post without sense. I still consider RVS but that Navizel post was a little odd and I am examining it as we speak.

Nice, I already got a reaction out of you. It's a reaction test, to see what you will say, and you reacted to it just as I thought.
I can read, I have two eyes, and what it seemed like, to me at least" was a bunch of pointless bickering. It's not like I can disregard it though. You guys ended it on your own terms. Me, however? I have just started to read the thread and will not take things like that lightly, especially if I see walls and walls of text in the beginning of D1.

It is helpful for me so I can keep note of what I am doing and so everyone will know my opinion. You mentioned this earlier on in the game, correct? You mentioned that it would be nice to get the opinion of everyone before being too hasty.

And specify scumslip. You scumslipping or sLaiNi?

Yeah but this is the part I don't get, I didn't misread it, I simply understand the hypothetical case you mention this way: "Oh look Drezi turned out to be scum, and he put Sakura as town, let's lynch Sakura" -> "Why? Because scum put her as town! Why does it mean she's scum then? Because scum wanted us to think she's town! Wait she isn't? No scum wanted us to think the other scum is town!"

Not exactly a personality/playstyle thing, just me letting him know that he fucked up by giving me the reaction I was looking for, however, it is invalid because he is right about me reading incorrectly in the dialog between him and Sakura. I know Sakura's playstyle and all I kept reading was "looking for scum" all over her face.

I think it's fair letting him know so that way he can put on his serious game face here since I'm not sure of HIS playstyle.

At the time being, she is confirmed town for me also. I can see what she did at the beginning and it looks good to me, but I am also analyzing things and also wondering why no one voted with their gut feeling on sLaiNi.

Read above, I meant generally being too hasty. You're not doing anything wrong. However, I don't have to share or to come in with new points if I feel that it is a wrong time. I want to see more people post here in a serious sense too. I am not voting based on RVS concluding this post, however.

You did not scumslip, that is why I was confused. I just meant sLaiNi's scumslip as in the way he/she worded in the quote about knowing someone was scum. There's not much to analyze that because he/she caught out their own mistake. It was also a mistake on my part for not realizing they are German and I could understand the language barrier.

So, was the intention of this post just a test to get a reaction out of me and Sakura? I find it highly suspicious you would just post this and then dissapear.

What bothers me is your passive attitude towards things said to you. You just let Sakura defend you agaist what I said about you, not reacting at all. I feel like you're either ignoring me or using this play to go unnoticed then quickly change the subject.

I have the intent to vote you but I'll wait until the votecount. I woulld like to avoid L-1 at this point because lolhammers and newbies (Including myself).
