UNVOTE: Kurtapika

Im new to the game so struggling to get involved, but whilst weak my initial suspicions would be for T3.

I’ve found his posts to be the most defensive. Particularly .

I also don’t like . I don’t like that he answered for Asia, whilst saying not to answer for her. Asia has been prodding slightly at T3 and I’m conscious whether answering for her was almost doing her a favour to get her off his back. Almost a ‘look im on your side’.

This read could be completely off, but I’d be curious to know peoples thoughts.

I don't want to answer for Aisa but I think that because my statement in was intended to play on Bella's statement in , my could appear to be more abrasive, in a sense.
Yes, this basically. T3's post pinged me because 1. he was playing on Bella's post, which I thought could be a way to try to insert himself into the conversation as scum, 2. he came off as kinda serious and antagonistic while doing so, which again I thought could be scum-indicative

I could see "reaction-based meta" as a good description for the way we get games started here. Generally we vote other slots at random until someone has an opinion on something someone else did and the discussion snowballs from there.

I agree 39 could be a bit defensive. But, as with most things so far, it's hardly conclusive evidence! I'm not really sure what T3's alignment is yet myself. Is there anything that makes you think T3 might be town?

I definitely think playing mafia is something you learn by doing. It can be hard to know what to say if you're new to the game, but just share your thoughts with us as they come and we can discuss them (as you did just then!)

Sorry I’m quiet, it’s been a busy weekend. I’ll start reading tomorrow, but one question, T3s signature I’m confused, is that a thing. If it is, it is probably explained in the opening set up posts, so they will be my first re-read tomorrow.

In I wasn't being defensive because in what I was responding to, there wasn't anything for me to be defensive about. My tone in that post was rather calling Bella slightly absurd for assuming that I knew her personality, given that I have never played with her before.


In , I
guess
what you're saying could be true. I suppose the best response I have is that people usually just don't do things like that.

Again the town reading while possible, I would view it as less sensical to have to test waters before putting forward reads in the first place when playing as town. 41 mainly contributes to the feeling of Bella giving the appearance of bringing up discussion but not actually furthering it in this case, IMO, which scum can tend more towards doing as mentioned.
What do you think that scum!Bella gains from obfuscating her townread?

I suppose so? Firstly, I don’t think that a post like I made would have the effect that Project says that scum would desire. Secondly, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen scum actually do something similar to get that effect. However, I’m speaking from my subjective experience.

His level of involvement in pushing discussion and analysing players feels more townie. He’s not afraid to put himself out there. But I do think that’s a very basic, newbie take from me. I don’t think an experienced player would be concerned about that if scum.

Otherwise, I don’t really have much of a read either way, other than what I’ve previously added.

Also, apologies Aisa, I had your name wrong in my previous post.

I removed my previous vote because we seemed to be out of RVS. I didn’t place my vote on T3, as whilst I gave my initial thoughts of suspicion, I wasn’t overall confident in those suspicions so didn’t feel they warranted a vote yet.

Why do you think you need to be confident to place your vote down on T3? It takes 8 to eliminate somebody today, and yours would be only 2/8. Votes are often considered a tool to put pressure on other players on this site.

Do you have any other suspicions?
