Seems quite reaching to me. Also pretty pointless, considering that the only way that could be used to actually kill someone is through the Mafia kill (kind of hard to push a lynch on someone you say you are reading as town after all), and in that case, such tactics may as well just be discussed in private, as the OP confirms private communication is allowed at Night anyway. A rather large risk for a very low gain (just a preemptive acknowledgement if anything).

instead of talking generally it's probably more useful to talk about this particular case

i don't think any of what i said wrt dorian could be excused by just saying "different meta"

You make it sound like that isn't a huge difference. It is. They are coming from an entirely different perspective - town are looking for scum, and will notice people offering posts that look town, whereas scum need to try and blend into the Town, and so it might be less obvious to them because they are reading it differently. That's just one of many affects from the difference.

They do to an extent. They need to fabricate the read to make it look like a read and not a confirmation of them being town. They need to make it look like they think someone is town, not that they know.
i don't really agree with you, but i can kind of understand your reasoning which is good enough for me probably

Could that not imply him looking to blend in to what most people agreed on, while looking like he wasn't just going along with the flow (so he offered a weaker reason)?

Perhaps, but that doesn't have to make a difference.

I don't agree. Those reads allow scum to go along with the flow, but obviously doing so is scummy, so they have to look like they are looking at it through the eyes of town. The last thing they want is attention thrown onto them for bandwagonning and parroting, no?
so like, alternatively, he could just not say anything

Not to be mean about it or anything, but you excelled in a game of somewhat similar pace enough to be chosen for this spot. Although I do admit I don't read every post, but not because of a struggle I just prefer live reads on everyone as opposed to looking back, especially day one. I get almost nothing from seeing how other people interact without me somewhere in the middle.

i think he's town but volume probably isn't the best tell to use with him

apparently he had a game on here where he posted like 800 times as mafia

I just finished doing some business and have an hour to catch up before nighty night. I know I probably get wolf-leans because of this (catching up, not really interacting), but from experience I have to keep up early on, to actually be able to get good reads.

This discussion between Achro and Riki is quite interesting in that regard that I find Achros perspective villagery. He is questioning Riki for something I noted too.Also he keeps elaborating and not just moves on, which I also kind of like. Villapoints

In the game I was in mr capps called out to mafia that they should try to lynch the good players or something to that effect on day 1 before communication at night could begin. I didn't notice it at first but some scum can be very brazen. For what its worth I don't agree with cue's conclusion I just saw where he was going with it.

So when you went over my reads you said that you hoped it wasn't for a joke someone made or something along those lines. It most definitely was I will read people for some very silly things including last game I initially read Yates as town for a picture he posted at the start of the game. I also scum read qq incorrectly for a smile. Does the fact that I make reads like that effect your read on me?

This is accurate its the Baldur's Gate game I linked previously. There was 50 ish people I believe in the game so volume in big games like that is very easy to provide. Content on the other hand is not.

You know if anyone wants to like suddenly find a reason to suspect me that'd be fantastic because I am getting a little nervous. Last game I am pretty sure I was only allowed to live ... actually I end gamed that game huh, so rare anyway I only lived so long because people were kind of worried about me.

Now everyone is just like "yeah this Achro guy is great and we love him" and it's like uhh can we not do this so easily? Come on guys, I'm a great scum player too! Doubt doubt doubt.

Hey road I kinda moved you back on to the scum side of things from my early town read even though you didn't post since then it was just upon a reread I have to wonder can you describe your progression on me? Obviously if you haven't caught up please prioritize that but when you get a chance even after your sleep talk to me about it.

Agree on the achros villa lean.

to reexplain, this is what dorian's thought progression has been afaict:

-> he thinks slendy is town this game for pushing easy wagons again
-> he doesn't think slendy is mafia pushing easy wagons because he thinks it's difficult for mafia to replicate their town game

that justification makes literally no sense to me
Well that depends on what read you weight the most. In games like this where players are considered quite good I find ir likely to get reads on ppl that are contradicting. In those cases it is ofc the reads summed up but also what read you weight most. I think this clearly shows what of those two reads you consider most important. I think it is possible dorian considered the first.

I actually agree with you. A 1-game sample is simply not a big enough baseline. However I still find it villagery that he uses this to argue why he thinks Slendy is villa.

I'd quote this post as scummy as scum I know that I DEFINITELY like to point out how town read I'm getting so I can chuckle to myself. That being said if dying early and not moving on is something you're worried about I will let it be known that the person who dies n1 will auto be one of my top 2 unless something else occurs. I know that you care about that and its okay to talk about. Don't play ****tier because you don't want to move on.

Help me find a scum today if we lynch scum on day 1 it would be glorious.

That'd be absurdly strong scum game right there tbh.
This was exactly my point!

... Nah, actually i diagree with this read. I dont find it villagery at all. I cant find any reason why scum should not do this. In my mind it is neutral. Seems like a bit forced villaread

You laugh at those teenage girls with cameras taking pictures of flowers they claim as art, but it's because they sense themselves in me as you will one day, too. Acknowledge me. Acknowledge me while you can. Take a picture and frame it. I will guide you through the darkness."

But then they wilt and die and are gone forever. They, the us. We, who are them, who is you. Okay? But I won't vote to kill you if you're truly scare.

Hmmm. In my experience people posting fluffy posts that are not in the very early stages of the game (or with some more dynamic involved) are typically scum. I dont like it. It could be style, but it was the same case with mr. capps in game 3
Cue5c, why do you want to know if ppl have been modding different setups? what was the purpose of this post? Was there any real purpose besides not letting the thread being quiet?

Yes! Yes! Let the doubt flow through you! Okay fine I'll stop.

Actually, believe it or not I am not worried about the aspect of moving on. I just... really like playing the game of mafia, and I want to do my home board proud because... I don't know. We don't play as much mafia as we used to, and I've been saying for years I think I can compete with anyone and it's corny but this was a chance to prove my style of mafia really was top notch. I just want to continue proving that. I sound like an RPG protagonist now.

@ road:

I feel like scum have to, to their demise at times, have a point to their posts. I think his post reeks of weakness and I am not sure if a scum would roll in with that type of post and offering so little. It's one of those things where I feel like it looks bad, so scum wouldn't do it naturally.

Keep on with the self doubt just focus more on finding a wolf to hang. You played with MSU how do you think hes doing? Also ignore this if you don't want to say.

I also want to do well for my community. Mainly I want to come into the forum and compete with those who are naturally in the environment when I'm use to video which is vastly different. We could have played 4 games of video mafia in the 12 hours this game has been going.
