I'm currently catching up. I had some questions which were already answered, so I deleted them.
In post 6, ThinkBig wrote:Let's get some random questions in to get discussion flowing as well:
Newbies
1. Have you ever played mafia before? If so, where? If not, then welcome!
2. What made you decide to give MS a try?
Everyone
3. Do you prefer to play town or mafia?
4. What is your favorite/least favorite role?
I don't understand the point of these questions but sure
1. No. But I know someone close who plays this so I'm not unfamiliar with the main concept. - They told I can't ask for her help so you need to tolerate my basic questions! -
2. I was just curios about this to be honest.
3. I'm not sure!
4. Cop looks great. I don't hate any roles at the moment.

What are Bodyguard and Innocent Child?

mine is

Why would you vote someone to get them lynched, that soon in the game?

This means that you can be mafia as well? I was assuming it's 1 newbie/1 SE team, isn't it? [after reading 80 I guess not]
Thanks for the descriptions, They are really helpful.

What do you mean?
In post 64, Raskolnikov wrote:In general I like looking at people when their guard is down so this is kinda lame, hopefully you're right anyways though.
Actually this was kinda my bad for asking about it.
How can we bring down someone's guard to understand their motivations?

I honestly didn't realize the game was started. I promise to check this every night.
In post 88, gigabyteTroubadour wrote:like i would think in a newbie game, a newer player may kind of be off guard and, if they actually HAVE a PR, might have special interest in that role that shows when they answer the question
just gives me rolefishing vibes
I like the way this idea is developed.
In post 110, gigabyteTroubadour wrote:GAYreen (and any of the newer players here), have you read any games on here? It might be a good idea to see what's considered scummy/townie (if you don't already have a sense) or just get an idea of how a game usually goes.
Newbies are typically really slow like this but there are a few good ones out there too.
If there are several behaviors that are already known as scummy, why would any scum do them? Unless if you're saying a newbie might do them when they're scum which contradicts with your action - pointing them out to them.
Anyway as I said I have someone close who plays this so I know about some of these behaviors you're talking about.

Vanilla Townie When I get home from work, I'll catch up on everything.
So Raskolnikov voted to put ThinkBig at L1 (which was L2) but when they claimed he got like this:
@Raskolnikov why you tried to put him in L1 if you didn't want him to claim?
GAYreenHamster was kinda opportunistic there as well but they didn't vote.
Thinkbig is not a newbie so if its known that people must claim after an intent on MS, him claiming there is actually scummy.

What gave you the impression that someone is going to hammer you soon?

In my games, I tend to overreact to pressure and votes. Especially when I am at L-2 with 14 days left in the DP.
So this might be your attempt to make you look like your town version in past games to get some town reads.
In post 171, gigabyteTroubadour wrote:there's nothing wrong with having your own reads even if they go against the grain you know.... like it's fine you agree with our points but i feel like you're being a little too sheepy
What is the meaning of sheepy?
In post 198, schadd_ wrote:it makes it scummy from my perspective, tho; maybe you should seem town to everyone else
why should scum bother to scum read you when they can just kill you? why town can't mistakenly scum read you? You're making no sense.
OK, finally done reading this. I need to see others opinion about my post and my questions answer before deciding to vote but I think I'm more comfortable voting Think big over anyone else. Their either mafia who claimed like that in first place or is really a Vanilla Town who is compromised to mafia. Going in other directions will probably help mafia in their PR haunt and I don't like that.
I will be offline for an hour or two. Feel free to ask questions from me, I will answer them when I'm back. And please answer my questions. Thanks!
