do you think voting is the difficult part of being mafia? voting is very easy to do. you just type the tags and then put a name in the middle
it has given very consistent nuanced thought and has often been one of the first to point out something about the game that was insightful and correct
including i think even being the first to suspect tgp
that's not easy to fake as mafia, and just the general eagerness to engage with the game without any real need to show itself as town in the way that certain people require (such as the people demanding that it vote)
it's all just very pure imo-

If anyone's doubting how heavily invested I am in this game...
I'm reading people's ISOs with this song playing on a loop:
This is very intense

i do appreciate the thorough reading, i did find it somewhat frustrating a couple days ago or whatever when it felt like you were taking strong stances on things without having actually read the things that were relevant
so ty. imo if you're town then this approach makes you findable-

why are decisive stances a requirement for someone to be town? again, i don't think that's the aspect of its play that is difficult to fake as mafiaIn post 2680, furtiveglance wrote:

you can argue that taking decisive stances is pro-town because it moves the game forward. but i don't think that "someone who doesn't take decisive stances is mafia" is valid if they are moving the game forward in other ways by being present and commenting on posts and providing thoughts and engaging with people-

I just think the style of this is such that (intentional or not) people won't read it and think 'dayum I gotta vote this TGP, sounds scummy af'
They'll think more like 'wow giuseppina sure is thinking' (that's the intention I think)
Also. The vote didn't come until MUCH later-

Difficult =/= risky. If giuseppina is mafia this game, I'd categorise the game as 'difficult but safe'. Taking stances is riskier because you get scumread for it.In post 2685, fireisredsir wrote:

Why are you saying giuseppina is town because what it's doing is difficult to do as mafia? It's an experienced player. Besides, I don't think it is that difficult by the looks of things. It said it studied psychology or something-

i agree that it didn't actively try to convince anyone to vote tgp but it didn't do that for anyone
it's just a playstyle thing it isn't scummy
you can go read other games to see the same style if you want to-

No comment I guess. I am not allowed to comment on anything about that replacement, for instance its timing. That would be against the rules

but i just don't see any reason to scumread? like if this is a playstyle thing (it is) then you have to look past that and see what could indicate that the player is playing from an informed point of view or not
imo the signs indicate that it is playing from an uninformed point of view bc it feels like it is constantly sifting through the posts and trying to piece together the puzzle
and i don't see any signs that indicate that it is playing from an informed point of view
im saying that your argument that it is playing safe and not taking stances are not scum indicative in this case-
