Humor but maybe it was inappropriate
I like screwing around at the start of the game, just a thing I do? Mafia is pointless anyway :3
this is an interesting playstyle clash almost. I just interpreted Auro's entire first post as a joke and ignored it AI wise, whereas a lot of ppl seem to have read into it

fair enough! My reasoning is that i usually make sure i'm reading carefully as scum as to not miss anything, but it's pretty weak cause that's not exactly a catch-all rule. I still think I like you from the starbuck exchange although i dont know if that could be put to words yet
Yes. While I see where the argument that it's useless noise comes from, I totally believe that this kind of social element to Mafia makes gameplay looser and a lot more enjoyable. I actually don't think it detracts from the experience: often these things do weave into serious gameplay and there's always readable content.
I must be missing something. All I've seen is MT talk about gathering a cute alliance and then being asked about it. Is that reading contrived for some reason? Am I missing something in that?
Sarcasm is just a way of saying how stupid you think someone is but in a more polite way.
What brought you to MS?
What's been your favorite *finished* game that you played so far?
What's your favorite role and why?
Who are your top 3 to 5 favorite Scummers and why?
1. i love playing mafia but i'm too timid IRL to find people and none of my friends play it
2. I have a bunch actually-- I really liked Jigsaw Mafia for the flavour and mechanics, and there are many games i just enjoy because i met a lot of cool ppl in them. If i had to pick my most favourite so far, it'd be this one cause im usually not overly proud of my play but i thought i did pretty good that time around. The payoff at the end was really great for the amount of effort i put into it
3. Vanilla Townie cause you haven't got a care in the world and don't need to alter your play in any way
4. there are so many ppl i like on here but i've mostly met newer players so far. i can say ABR and I have been thru a lot together though ^ω^

Me too. It's sort of a PoE "one of the players I'll have difficulty reading will probably be scum so I shouldn't have them all as high on the list as I do; Reck fits reasonably well as the scum from those"

I just have a lot of null reads, with a few splashes of town reads so far.
Nothing really strikes me as much as kmd just for weak read on SB

i've enjoyed llamarble's fervent insistence on cutting through the dense layers of jokes and naval-gazing theorycrafting permeating our early-game. actual attempts at analysis? how refreshing!
he's been the one player that's done the most to push the game forward, and on an intuitive level, his reads roughly mirror what i am seeing - especially at the extremes. my biggest disagreement is that of the early game cuteness harvesters/alliance seekers, morning tweet seemed least sincere - or at least, seemed to be opportunistically using the screen of jokes-y cuteness to shield herself from potential early scrutiny.
i don't think abr's opening is suspicious for him. he's a polarising character that is always going to attempt to reinvent the wheel in some way or another early in the game, and probably as either alignment.
kmd has the unfortunate habit of presenting himself as a target. i say "habit", because it appears self-imposed to me. i have to reign in my suspicion of him, because i think he always looks scummier than he actually is.

Interesting how you answered him, but not my question asking you to expand on your thoughts.

i don't know how to respond to this sort of criticism. Is there something that seems insincere about it? Sure i couuuld be playing a gimmick so i don't have to pretend to scumhunt or so i can "avoid scrutiny", but also i could just as easily try to fake a bunch of reads and put on my towniest face if i were scum
is there a specific reason you think that's what's happening here?
