You definitely don't suck. You're thought process was mostly pretty clear, but learning how to voice your opinions in fewer words would help you go a long way in convincing people what you think/know to be true. Old farts like me skim paragraphs' worth of content because I personally find it easier for scum to hide in. I find people are more honest when they have less to say.

That's for persuading people as town. As far as scum hunting goes, again, I think you pressured well, your activity was up to speed so no one could hide from your questions, your analysis was great until you started second-guessing yourself. Not that you shouldn't take into consideration new arguments, but I have no advice on the balance of that, lol. That will just come with practice.

Also keep in mind people who are more familiar with other players and their tendencies. I'm pretty aware of my tendencies as town and can mimic them about 50% of the time (the other 50% is me being ignorant and terrible at scum :P). People will use your tendencies against you but you can do the same to them once you start getting established with other players. Don't be afraid to trust someone'sreads but don't follow blindly, either. Demand answers and for people to take ownership of their actions. Those are the moments scum either shine or flail.

I dunno, I could ramble on about my theories but they've never been tested. It's hard for me to give advice on that end when I wasn't town this game to draw on examples for, but I think you're on the right track if anything. Might be worth hearing from RC since he was pretty spot on.
Glork and quadz08 are my favorite.

Says singersigner... Paragon of Mafia Hunters :P

My problem with walling is that I feel if I don't explain myself as clearly as I possibly can think of then there's gonna be confusion... Apparently there's still confusion anyway. >.< Talking a lot is a part of my personality too and I don't know how to remove my personality from my posts lol.

Also, I gave you towncred for drunk posting. I don't think I /said/ I did in thread because I realized that was silly, but you still got it >.< That should be a lesson learned, I think. People get drunk and post regardless of alignment.

Just read this now...congrats to the town, we sorta won, lol.

I just read this now because of some IRL problems (not a problem actually), and I wasn't here all that time between my posts.

Sorry for the bump, just wanted to gave my closing thoughts on this game:

- Liked it, pretty cool.
- All my reads were wrong. If RC hadn't replaced in, probably mafia was going to in.

Good playing with you all.

If anyone does actually want my input on their play let me know! I'm neither the IC nor the paragon of mafia hunters but I can still give advice and stuff.

Please do! Any feedback is welcome. It's inherently implied with the IC role but they're 100% subjective and fallible so the more input/discussion, the better!
