Sorry about the awkwardness earlier. Realized it was kind of rude to come in and just leave like that.
So far Gamma and Kyndy seem pretty eager to get the game going and look for scum but the only legit reason I've seen so for a vote was activity. In my experience, if you're aren't putting the same level of commitment in all the games you're in currently in, you are hiding something.
It seems too early to try to make suspicions based on buddying and distancing when almost half of the roster is inactive. Someone mentioned meta and I'm not a fan of in general but seems odd to bring it up a game full of players that are new to the site.
So yeah I have nothing but I'm soft trusting Gamma, Kyndy, and Infinity right now.

Because I don't think it's such a big deal right now due to how inactive the game is.

Yeah I don't get it either. I already explained why I think they're genuinely want to get the game going and/or looking for scum but if you have a reason to believe one of them are scum I'm all ears. Let's work together on this thing!

@Rask: For Gamma it's completely on his actions, for Kyndy and Infinity, it's more based on their tone. All of it though is solely of the little information we have. I mean my reads are I guess shitty now because the lack of activity but I'll try to better explain them as more content is posted. I just don't think the people who I read as town are showing for sure signs of being scum. Even you.
That entrance list you posted earlier though is interesting. Just took if more seriously and is Skold followed by Gamma the ones you read as town the most?
@Infinity: As for Kyndy, I'm giving her time to post because she did say something about school starting so life may be getting in the way for her. Overtime though, she'll move into the 50/50 category and then the scum category for me. That could be as early as Monday.
I don't mean to be so patient but I just don't see a need to push anything too hard right now. We have a lot of time to figure things out, more time than I expected. Are all games like this? Long days, very inactive?

@Gamma: I don't trust anyone yet but if a gun were to my head I'd say you.
@Infinity: Wasn't really an assumption.
@Gally: Welcome aboard friend! Feels good to have another active voice. And yeah it's frustrating posting from such a small limited device. That and the fact that everyone seems like they know what they're doing is making this pretty tough for me.

@Skold: Why even play then? If we all did what you're doing the game would be even more inactive than it is now and a smart mafia team could just kill off a player who has posted very little and leave us with nothing and stuck Day 2. It's impossible to avoid not going off scum tells Day 1. Yes they're shitty at times and can result in mislynches but it gives us information which is the most important thing. How is your approach to this game and potential future games healthy? I and I think anyone else can see how your new approach is beneficial for scum but town I see no positive due to how hard it is the play the game perfectly.

It's okay to stand for what you believe in. Doesn't mean you're right and he is definitely in the wrong here and leaning scum for me until he actually starts trying to play the game.

For the record I mainly vote on motivation. The motive behind what one says and does and trying to figure out if it comes from scum or town is the most important thing to me.
I guess motivation could be considered as behavior but in a way not really because behavior has to do a lot with personality.

Oh I didn't even realized I put Skold at l-1. Error on my part and maybe the moderator as well. Looking back now though I guess it could have been a way to catch scum if a few people came into jump on the backwagon or potentially hammer (still confused about majority to lynch) and he had flipped town but I guess that isn't going to happen anytime soon since we're waiting to see if Skold is going to continue playing the Day 1 like he has been doing.
I have a few questions about votes. It seems votes are somewhat used to point a finger of suspicion on this site? If so, why? Wouldn't pointing fingers lead to less scenarios where one accidently puts a player at l-1? Not that it matters for me personally right now since Skold has moved past the suspicion stage for me but just for future reference.

Ah I understand. Still feel fingers and questions could do sort of the same thing and votes should be mainly used to just to amp up pressure or when one is feeling sure someone is scum and is willing to live with the result.

@Rask: I'd have to say Kyndy right now sadly despite it not being a very strong one. Her case on Gamma is pretty weak because while activity isn't really a sign of alignment, pressuring lurkers or someone you suspect is lurking is never really a bad thing. Like I totally agree with Gamma voting for you at the time even with the game being in the state that it was in and is still sort of in because it got you and others to talk and it was a way to get the game moving. Also didn't really look like scum trying to stir the pot to me.
@Infinity: Well true but I mean I'm sure thoughts and questions would go along with those FoS'es to give the same effect but I understand your view.

@Zyf: Ah I can explain. I mainly asked about voting because I'm quite new to mafia overall and where I started just doesn't play like this site does. I don't prefer accidental l-I and don't know who or why anyone who would prefer it. Was that a trap or a trick question?
I voted for Majibass because it was RVS. I'm voting Skold because he doesn't seem like he wants to play the game to the point where it could be potential detrimental. If he's scum, good. If he's sadly town, I'll be dissapointed, but relieved because we would gain a lot of information.

@Zyf: I'm sorry, what does BOTD stand for?
I'm playing to lynch scum, I just want to play in a heathy, focused, and productive environment. I don't like the idea of lynching solely for info but it was looking like it was going to come down to that and I felt it was okay because we could look at who defended Skold and/or stayed away from voting him.
I'm willing to move my vote once I get better reads from watching and observing the back and forth between you and Gamma.

@Zyf: Well it depends on the case but you get to potentially confirm your suspicions by seeing how people react to a flip, asking questions about that flip, and their interactions and actions with and toward the player who flipped.

is that not true of any flip on an active player though?
Yes but in this case Skold is not as active as everyone else so it may be harder to confirm things despite a few of you reading him as town.

Sorry about being late to another party guys, school started yesterday and I also had to handle some personal business so I didn't get home until about 11pm. I'm going to do my best to answer the questions directed at me below but due to the way I play, I'm not sure if my answers will add much to the discussion at this time.
@Zyf: Gamma still reads null-town to me. I chalked up his early game to him just being eager and wanting to get the game going. Went over it and only minor things pinged me that honestly after careful review, don't seem like real scum tells. Consistently keeping tabs on activity is a town tell to me and using it to vote just indicates he's new to mafia, just like me. Gamma's pushing wasn't even real pushing in my opinion, just seemed like reminders that say hey, x player is in this game, where is he or she so I can pick their brain on things and figure out if they're town or not.
Overall the back and forth between you and him seems very TvT. Gamma just was floundering toward the end there and I can relate to that so much despite it looking like he's scum telling by doing so. Both of you were frustrated for different reasons but weren't getting anywhere in regards to swaying the town to pick a side.
@Rask: I didn't really get anything from the exchange other than a null-town read on Zyf. It was nice to see that back and forth in action and it might come into play later but it seems the attention has shifted to Gally for now so let's wait and see. Overall my reads have shifted a little but I want to observe more and question before I post them. I have a feeling we didn't get anywhere these last couple of pages and that is deflating.
Speaking of Gally, I think he hinted at having a busy life in his opening posts. Either way, I'm just as curious as you all as to what he has to say to all the recent events and his thoughts on everyone currently.

Don't have any scum reads at the moment but I don't like Skold's play and it doesn't seem like he's actually going to play the game in a productive way so I'm still voting for him.

Yeah offsite experience but not much.
And yes I was referring to that post. It seems like he's on the go often in the morning and in the night since he said he's using his phone to post during those times so I assume he works/goes to school at those times.

Didn't say it was...
Also I'm not white knighting anyone, I'm just keeping things in mind. I'm going to wait and see what he says about everything that has transpired recently before giving my opinion of him.
As for Skold, if you're not willing to help you're either useless or scum.

A few of you if I recall directly either have defended Skold or let his play slide. I'm not going too. It's idiotic and is not town like play whatsoever and the fact that no one seems to want to get him to play the way one should in regards to scum hunting is even more baffling.
I know why you would lynch someone but as I've said earlier I don't have any other scum reads at the moment. Everyone else reads null or null-town for me. I don't even know how you can find scum when we are literally only playing with like 5 players. Let's see more of Skold and let's wait for the replacements.

He has the right, doesn't mean it's correct or helpful. And if it's not helpful I don't see a reason for him to be around because it's not even a clueless sort of not helpful, it's more of I can really help if I wanted to but I don't and you can't tell me otherwise sort of not helpful.

I don't see a reason to vote Gally currently. I liked his opening and it felt very townie to me. It's interesting that you're voting him though because he was voting Gamma for the same reasons you were in a way.

How did you come to that conclusion? His last few posts have been better I admit but he even stated in those last few posts he questions why he should contribute.
Note that while he may have gotten past his issues in your eyes, that doesn't mean he's town.

I think Rask is a guy lol awkward.
As for claiming I see both sides of the argument but from my little experience playing mafia it doesn't seem correct for Gamma to claim right now since it helps the mafia sniff/figure out power roles.

Gamma was reaction testing early on the game I think, so it's possible for sure.
Quick but probably very shitty read list:
Town - Gamma, Gally, Zyf
Null - Infinity, Rask, Skold, BBT, and Grandel
I'm not sure what to make of Infinity yet because it seems like he generally cares about new players like me since he's explaining why newbie play generally isn't scummy but he's doing it a lot more than I feel he should. Not sure if that's just how he is a person, his playstyle, or just how he is in newbie games. The latter two don't matter though as meta is irrelevant.
I'm not sure what is it about Rask but it seems like when he pops he doesn't really contribute much. I just can't really read him right now and its bothering me.

I'd just like to mention that I'm not forceful on things because I like to observe and talk to players, get to know them and/or the character they put on for a game, and make notes as the game goes on. I do a lot of rereading of my notes and things that have been said to confirm my thoughts and for myself because I'm a natural skimmer. I feel like I can tell without too much thought whether something said is a true scum tell or something to easily brush off but there is either always something I miss which shouldn't be a surprise or I'm just unsure and I think that's okay, despite how others may feel, because you always want to be 90 percent sure the person you're voting for is scum.
I also don't like walls much because most people don't say much when they do them and while there hasn't been too much of them so far in this game, it feels there will be soon.
