Greetings all. I am Augustus Caesar of Rome. I've been invited to play this online forum mafia game by an old pal of mine, Hectic. Yes, I understand how the internet works despite being born in 63 BC. And yes, I'm immortal and over 2000 years old - don't ask, it's a long story. People always end up asking and I get tired of telling them the same story over and over again.
ANYWAY... naturally, I have a legion at my disposal. They'll be doing all the town and scumhunting for me while I spectate from the gallows. I'm not actually sure what the word gallows means but I'm hoping it's some kind of regal throne or some kind of nice spectating platform. Would be kinda embarrassing if it means something completely different LOL. Anyways, you should get what I'm going for given my examples so there shouldn't be any problems here.

Ari my love, why do you feel funny to me? There's this tone underneath your posts that don't quite feel genuine and more performative. Idk if it's AI, I just know unlike usual, reading your posts made my nose wrinkle up.
That's what I got for now.
this 100%
the stupid fucking open alts rule is very bad and dumb and creates more legwork for people to open a tab and have to crossreference who is saying what bc of the alts, the spamposting is ridiculous (out of the first ~100 posts nearly HALF of them are solely from ari + hectic), and the forced shtick of posting in character with images at the end of every post or whatever the hell hectic is doing is sapping my will to live
but i signed up to play team mafia, so i will play team mafia. i am just not going to engage with hectic's shtick for my own sanity. if my team wants to read it they can and fill me in. actually ill ask them to do that right now.
xof's post 100% lines up with my headspace atm so i'm feeling big town energy there

as for your point about adorable, taken a diff way, it's "well adorable's meta is to be strange and an easy vote". i know nothing about adorable. i've never seen them before. and meta is trash anyway. i voted adorable bc of their exchange with DV, which i already said. that's not "strange". that's a straight up lie. adorable claimed to vote on nothing just pure RVS... then upon being questioned explained they did ACTUALLY vote for a reason... and then upon being pushed further by DV, completely ignored DV and jumped onto other things. that's scummy. idgaf about their meta.

-He said Creature's entrance seems townie and his concern over being distracted over studies is slightly townie and doesn't care much as scum. For me Creature is hard to read and I wasn't able to see how that was townie.
-He wasn't sure why Ari asked Creature who scum is. He is overall a bit too jokey.
-Said Hectic/Ydrasse back and forth seems mostly NAI and said he believed they did this in Pooky/FL.
-Said xofelf seems to be taking Reck's RVS vote a bit serious
- Said Hectic's read on Ari in post 50 he doesn't agree with. It's just a wagon and there's nothing really to be self conscious of that early.
- Said Hectic including NAI reads is interesting and didn't know what to think of it yet.
- Said Datisi townread on DV is also not the best.
- Said Datisi voting me is somewhat understandable
-Said Hectic seems townie, but it is a weak read for him.
-Said Datisi's questions on Ari mostly reflects his thoughts and thought that was good except he put a question mark in the end and it looked like he wasn't sure.
-Said Bulge asking Sirius about personal life seemed abit intrusive and he put lol in the end.
These thoughts are through #9-#87

I don't think this is fake, but it feels like something scum are more likely to post.

Scum can be pretty annoyed too. I remember in my last scum game I was pretty annoyed and wanted to complain about stuff I probably wouldn't complain if I were town. It's anger that is easy to fake because you feel genuinely angry and it could also get you cred from players who think anger = town.
Mate, you must not know Reck if you think that Reck being annoyed or angry is indicative of any alignment whatsoever. Dude's just hella passionate and irritable, usually justifiably. It's NAI. If he wasn't being annoyed, that would be more suspicious.

Me too, but I don't want to end up being pressured all day tomorrow and feel unable to scumhunt due to that wagon
Why are you expecting a wagon on you? I don't think there are many, if any, votes on you now.

In post 917, DeasVail wrote:People I don't want to elim today:
Sirius, Aristophanes, Creature, xofelf, Adorable, xRECKONERx, RCEnigma (there's no real point in an elimination here right now to be honest, regardless of read on the slot)
The rest are potential options in my mind.
Summer Nights is the slot that I feel most indifferent about right now. Pushing there is kind of low value because she's not even really here, but it also feels like the most comfortable place for a vote. And peta voting there is eerie because it was the first thought in my mind when I unvoted as well and a lot of the reasons he has put forward are similar to what I have been thinking.
VOTE: Summer Nights

Shortly after the game begun, I realised it was an entirely mountainous 2v7 setup, and not only that, but the first vote you put down in lylo was locked in? Yeah, mafia won that no surprises there
oh and also, we didn't even hit 20 pages I think. It had like 4 ultra lurkers
So what you describe baffles me
