please don't say this. the first game of forum mafia i played someone said this. i came back half a day later to 9 pages of pointless discussion that basically destroyed the game
Thespio is correct that it's better to lynch than NL day1. But I don't like how he brought it up. It was out of the blue and looks like an attempt to declare his own towniness.
Looks like we had the same impression here.

i don't see why this is important in any way. the vote happened on the first page of the game after muh voted themselves to spite loopdan. i can't see how there could be any reason for loopdan to vote them other then something along the lines of "well screw you too"
I would agree with this if he wouldn't have implied there is more to it with the "Later" in #29. Meanwhile he said it is as you said. Eeerrhh why was he even doing it so ominously in first place then.
Kind of pedantic, hopefully this doesn't keep up.

It's difficult to read Elements at the moment, at least for me, so I can't really see how you are leaning more towards town in his case. Comments here and there some things, but not enough to classify him on town/scum side. Normally I would think it's slightly scummy (I miss a little bit the initiative), however this early there isn't much juicy stuff to work with anyway.
As for you I am struggling with you a little bit. I found your role in the exchange between me and loopdan slightly interesting, since you were kind of "moderating" between us. It would be consistent with your opinion that two townies went against each other instead of the using the moment to team up against a side, which is a positive thing. Of course a scum-you would have known better and could as well used that moment to get in a postive standing with two active townies. By feeling I am rather leaning towards the former. I was a bit wary when you put all the active players on the town side while I wouldn't even find it possible to say much about the others, as you can see in my comment about Elements, so that only the inactives are left for scum. A bit a too certain statement for this early. Leaning slightly towards town, but here and there are some things that remind me to keep an eye on you.
Some meat. Skellen is oozing town at this point. When I look at new players (experience elsewhere or otherwise) I look for effort, attention to detail, motivation (that's general in mafia but I digress). This goes a bit beyond the surface, moreso with the Thespio read, on why X slot is doing what they are doing. Instead of focusing on the fact that it happened. I like that.
I also noticed when articulate newbies roll town they have a tendency to over explain reads to get as much of their thought process out as possible. I know this was the case when I started here.

I take while to form reads, and I don't give them as often as other people in the few games I've played. So far this game the only read I've rlly got is that I don't think you and loop are both mafia. Everyone else is pretty much null at this point
This was the first connection I put together, why couldn't these two be scum together?

In post 112, PvtUrist wrote:My reads are lame so here's a few questions;
@Skellen ignoring the 2 inactive players, who do you feel to be the scummiest/towniest right now? How different do you feel with forum Mafia vs IRL?
@all reads on Thespio? Namely his page 2/3 fluff and
#84 scum slip.
It would certainly be convenient if the
lurking scums
inactive players decided to show up.
Couple things, why are all of your posts revolving around Thespio particularly?
Then, you're calling Thespio scum while immediately contradicting that by pleading to the "inactive scum" to post. Effectively agreeing with your only scumread at this point? I'm not following, got my eyes on you.
